1. Shuten-doji (KUDO, Masahiro Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi) vs. T2Hide (Hirata Collection A.T. & Toru Owashi) & Hiranito Collection A.T.
*1/2
2. Antonio Honda & Nobuhiro Shimatani vs. Heidi Katrina & Saki Akai
Heidi Katrina has beaten legends such as Sonoko Kato and Jazz, held the NWA Women's Championship, and now she's training with Meiko Satomura and wrestling in Senjo and DDT! What a wild run she's on!

3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship: NωA (Makoto Oishi, MAO & Shunma Katsumata) (c) vs. Danshoku Dino, Keisuke Ishii & Royce Isaacs
A fun trios match that ended before Isaacs' gimmick wore out its welcome. I don't think Ishii even did anything here other than hold down whomever Isaac was going to snap the arm of with his unbreakable ass. What a shame.

4. ALL OUT (Akito & Diego) vs. Smile Squash (HARASHIMA & Soma Takao)
Formerly known as Guanchulo, Diego is revealed as the mystery third member of ALL OUT. Watching this live, I was pretty disappointed. Guanchulo has been around for YEARS and is the definition of vanilla, but every unit needs a fallman, I suppose. Nice match.

5. Minoru Suzuki & Rocky Kawamura vs. Sanshiro Takagi & Super Sasadango Machine
I feel like Minoru Suzuki meme booking has lost its appeal over the years, but I enjoyed his performance in this match; the finish where he fucks up Sasadango and turns over his mask looked great. Rocky Kawamura rules!
**1/2
6. DAMNATION (Daisuke Sasaki, Shuji Ishikawa & Tetsuya Endo) vs. Kazusada Higuchi, Kouki Iwasaki & Shigehiro Irie
Fun, mindless trios match where DAMNATION controlled the ring. Iwasaki looked good in his session against Ishikawa.
***
7. KO-D Openweight Championship: Konosuke Takeshita (c) vs. Yasu Urano
This devolves into the 'stop, start' pacing that's becoming all too common in DDT main events lately, with back and forth big movez, and it didn't engage me. Still, it was nice to see Urano go out with a bang in his final DDT match.
**3/4
