9. DDT Universal Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs MAO
10. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Yuki “Strong” Iino

Show is starting in just over an hour and looks to be a doozy with 11 matches booked. In more good news, Pheromones are booked on the preshow so as long as you show up on the dot you'll be sure to miss them (until the main event, but fingers crossed on that one). We're also going to see the debut of Chiitan (just in time for them to die horribly in the Hunger Games thread), the returns of Diego and Van Vert Jack, as well as Higuchi and Sakguchi teaming for the first time since the formation of Harimao.

No tag team title match today with the champs both going after singles gold. Shunma is going after Uncle Jun to reclaim the belt he put on the map in a ToyLC match while MAO is challenging the recently bulked up Tetsuya Endo, who is making his first defence after beating Naruki Doi for the belts in March. The 37KAMIINA lads are looking to become weighed down with gold since in addition to the tag titles they also hald the 10-man belts, although considering they haven't defended them at all in the 10 months since they were one it's entirely possible 37K have fogotten they are even the champions.

The main event could either be really good or really bad. Yuji Hino has allowed "Sexy" Iino to chellenge for the belt, on the proviso he seal his Pheromones bullshit and be ALLOUT Iino again. Iino has been able to do this admirably on the preview shows, but always with the ominous warning that he will once again explode with sexy once the title is won. DDT is usually pretty good about leaving the comedy on the undercard and giving the big matches the gravitas they deserve, but on the other hand Danshoku Dieno was by far the worst defence of Jun Akiyama's reign, and I would hate for my girthy boy Hino to befall as similar fate.

Just came back from making lunch, I see Illusion has a new mask to show a bit more expression, and Dieno is dry humping him :geno: Might go back to watch the Imanari/Rukiya segment, that sounds like it could be good

I'm trying to find some information about Rayne but she doesn't have a cagematch or Wrestlingdata profile, kind of nutty since she's been around for a bit now

I was just about to ask if anybody could tell me anything about her, I don't think I've ever even heard her name before.

I know she's the niece of Iron Maiden's Clive Burr and there's Youtube videos of her from shows in England, but i'd never heard of her until she came over for this tour

She also lost the preview tags against Saki and then again here, so :shrug:

Yeah, she seems to have popped up on the Britwres scene pretty recently and got traction.

I will say that the choices she is making with hair and makeup for the early 80s New Wave Of British Heavy Metal look are flawless.
