HM: Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shunma Katsumata vs. Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga - King of DDT Night 1 5/5

Jun Akiyama isn't in the tournament, but he does have a prelim match and he's looking forward to wrestling in front of the Korakuen Hall crowd. Unfortunately his teammates have the unfortunate and disrespectful habit of trying to win the match before he has a chance to enjoy himself. This leads to him literally making them do the match again when it's won by his team before he even made it to the ring, lambasting the referee for counting a pinfall, breaking up his own teammates attempt at a pin, and in the amazing climax setting up for a crowd pleasing dance number when disaster strikes. A wonderful way to get the crowd going before the tournament proper started :allears:

HARASHIMA vs Shuji Ishikawa

Chris Brookes vs Takeshi Masada
- It's obvious the company see what a talent they have in Masada, guy grows by leaps and bounds every opportunity he gets
