DDT ran one more of its Beer Garden Pro Wrestling events today in Tokyo, this one dubbed “Overtime”.
Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The paid attendance was not announced.
Before the event a signing ceremony was held for this Sunday’z upcoming DDT Extreme Championship match between To-y & Illusion. It will involve streaming WRESTLE UNIVERSE during the match.
KO-D Openweight Champion Kazuki Hirata appeared with a bodyguard to protect against “Money On The Bank” title shot right cash-ins. He nominated (again) GM Imabayashi for the 9/28 title match but he refused.
Now then…
Match 1: Shinya Aoki beat Takeshi Masada.
Match 2: Akito, Takao Soma & Rukiya beat Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida & Hinata Kasai. Akito pinned Ishida. As a result, Akito wins Ishida’s title shot right.
Daisuke Sasaki appeared, currently out due to a broken rib. He announces he will be back for his next produced event on 10/2 which also will now feature Jun Kasai vs. Hideki Okatani in a hardcore match.
Match 3: To-y, Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Suni beat Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Illusion by DQ. Illusion DQ’d. Ref assault.
Match 4: HARASHIMA, Keisuke Ishii & MAO beat Yuki Ueno, Toru Owashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Ishii pinned Matsunaga.
Match 5: Yukio Naya & Kazusada Higuchi beat Yuki iino & Jun Akiyama. Naya pinned Iino with La Magistral. As a result, Naya wins Iino’s title shot right.
Main Event: In a Enter Sandman Match, Antonio Honda beat Kazuki Hirata, Danshoku Dieno, Chris Brookes & KANON in a 5-way by pinning Hirata.
Afterwards, an attack on Hirata led to the naming of his 9/28 challenger…the attacker itself…Yoshihiko! Let the indescribable epic awesomeness of that sink in because I can’t describe my level of excitedness for it. GOD BLESS DDT.
The next event is Sunday at Sapporo Sun Plaza in Hokkaido. There will be no live broadcast. On demand scheduled for Thursday.
