Not the biggest of big shows but still a lot to enjoy here and they should hopefully fill up most of Korakuen. We have:
- Assemblyman Kawamatsu making an appearance which is always fun
- Rukiya's continued application to joing Burning, taking advantage of Okada having to miss the show
- MAO teaming with his hero TAKA for his birthday match against his good friends in CDK
- Takeshita returning for DDT for the first time this year (he was at the All Japan show yesterday) after perhaps turning a new leaf after Ultimate Party last year
- Yukio Sakaguchi's last singles match in Korakuen, facing off against his protege Hideki Okatani
- A Danshoku Dieno match, but at least this has a fun story that they called themselves a fairly common stable name and this is like the third group of guys that have used the name in the past annoyed at them
- Kazuki Hirata's continued quest to be accepted into 37KAMIINA after DisasterBox disbanded (and also he needs to defend his title)
- Yuki Ueno's first defence against D-Oh Winner Naya. I've no doubt Ueno is retaining here, and would also be surprised if Take doesn't challenge for the belt to they can run back their sick match from last year before Takeshita got kicked out of the Sauna Club

DDT Sweet Dreams
Korakuen Hall, Tokyo

Akito, Sanshiro Takagi, Shinichiro Kawamatsu, Toru Owashi & Yuni vs Antonio Honda, HARASHIMA, Kazuma Sumi, Takeshi Masda & Tomoya
Damnation TA (Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul) vs Rukiya, Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino
CDK (Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi) vs MAO & TAKA Michinoku
Konosuke Takeshita vs Naruki Doi
Hideki Okatani vs Yukio Sakaguchi
KO-D 6 Man Tag Team Titles: Dead or Alive (Danshoku Dieno, Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi)(c) vs Dead or Alive (Hikaru Sato, Kazusada Higuchi & Ryo Kawamura)
DDT Extreme Title Toi Kojima Challenge Deathmatch: Kazuki Hirata(c) vs Shunma Katsumata
KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno(c) vs Yukio Naya

And for those wondering about Hirata's stipulation for this show it's really quite simple

quote:

The fate of who will win the DDT Extreme Title match will rest on the shoulders of Toy Kojima. The match rules is whenever Kazuki Hirata or Shunma Katsumata scores a 2 Count fall, submission, knockout or countout win then the “Kojima Challenge” will begin. Kojima will be given a task to do and if he succeeds then the match result will stand. If he fails then the match restarts. This will go on until Kojima passes a challenge. Both Kojima and Katsumata will get to come up with ideas for challenges and they must be purposely designed so that Kojima cannot tell who made them.

Show starts in just over an hour, no English commentary but Ash will be on Twitter if there's promos needing translating

e: Small card change, MJ Paul is out and Bryan Keith is replacing him on the Damnation Team

I always wish Akito had a bigger role on the cards because he's so smooth in ring but I imagine a lot of his time is taken up by his office job

Yeah it's a yearly single elimination tournament for a title shot and this is the 20th anniversary, the 4 they announced are all former winners. Other winners that are longshots include Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega and Konosuke Takeshita

A quick reminder about the rules of this match from the op

"The fate of who will win the DDT Extreme Title match will rest on the shoulders of Toy Kojima. The match rules is whenever Kazuki Hirata or Shunma Katsumata scores a 2 Count fall, submission, knockout or countout win then the “Kojima Challenge” will begin.
