DDT God Bless DDT 2022
Korakuen Hall, Tokyo
Dissolution Contra 1 Day President 2 vs 5 Handicap Match: Akito, Antonio Honda, Makoto Oishi, Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi vs Pheromones (Danshoku Dieno & Yuki Iino)
Kazuki Hirata vs Kazuma Sumi
Damnation TA (Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, Minoru Fujita & MJ Paul) vs Eruption (Hideki Okatani and Saki Akai) and 37KAMIINA (Shunma Katsumata and Toi Kojima)
Burning (Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku) vs Osamu Nishimura, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Yuki Ishida
HARASHIMA & Takeshi Masada vs Hikaru Machida & Soma Takao
Chris Brookes, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuji Hino vs MAO, Tetsuya Endo & Yukio Naya
DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno(c) vs Koju Takeda
KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi(c) vs Yukio Sakaguchi

Kazusada Higuchi has been waving the flag for DDT since tragedy struck in June, and his next test is the most personal, his former parter Yukio Sakaguchi. As Eruption, these were two of the most badass men on the planet, and participated in my personal match of the year for 2020. Since then however, Higuchi has left Eruption and formed Harimao with Naomi Yoshimura (with whom he is also tag champ) and newcomer Yuki Ishida. Higuchi should win this one, but carrying both the single and tag titles must be wearing on the man, and he can't sleep on the challenger.

Pheromones are up to their old tricks again. Sigh. In the opener they are having a final battle against President Takagi's handpicked team. If Dieno and Iino win the 5 on 2 handicap match, then Iino will be DDT president for the day. If they lose, the team is dissolved. I know who i'm cheering for. Note that Dramatic DDT has this match listed as a dark match, so if you arrive at bell time you should be able to avoid it. The newest Pheromones member "Shining Ball" Takeda has somehow managed to finagle a Universal title shot against Yuki Ueno. Ueno stated in the press conference his continued desire to defend the belt overseas, and he made his AEW debut recently at the Fight Forever event, so maybe that'll go somewhere.

Elsewhere on the card we have a couple of returnees and a debut. Assemblyman Kawamatsu is back teaming with fellow politician Nishimura against Burning, while Hikaru Machida makes his first appearance since I think the King of Street Wrestling competition, where Chris Brookes submitted him in a tree. Finally we have the first of that new group of trainees to make their debut, as Kazuma Sumi takes on the always tricky Kazuki Hirata.

No English comms for today, but the English twitter account will be keeping on top of promos and such.

tokyyyyyyyyoooooooooo

it's not in the twitter thread but if i understood right from that joey promo, they're actually running two ddt shows as part of the gcw collective - a ddt show, and a ddt vs gcw show

wonder if they end up doing a separate tjpw show like they had planned for 2020, or if they just bring some tjpw wrestlers over for the ddt show like in 2019? maki itoh probably their biggest draw in america (closely followed by takeshita)

Could be that they announce something separate on the TJPW show next Saturday

It's so rare that I see Hirata do a straight match I forget that he's very solid in the ring to go with his genius comedy chops

At least after this string of tough defences, Higuchi will get to rest and recuperate
