00:30Entering first from Pro Wrestling NOAH is Amakusa, taking the place of Danshoku Dino, who had post-surgery appendicitis complications.
00:44Hoping for a quick recovery for Dino.
00:48Amakusa is the leader of NOAH junior, Amakusa!
00:55Taking the stage, Pro Wrestling NOAH's Amakusa.
01:00Amakusa!
01:08Amakusa!
01:24Amakusa!
01:28Amakusa!
01:30Now this is Roboku, it's a big match, so you know Sasaki, he's gonna have the music, he's
01:50gonna have the gown, and he's gonna want to dive off into the outside with an elbow drop.
01:57Big match Sasaki.
02:00You could say it's almost been a team more since the DDT match once again, yes, and I believe
02:08there's a lot more behind why this match was put, why Amakusa was chosen to take the place
02:13of Shantokukino.
02:14Oh no.
02:15And now that's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it.
02:23I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it.
02:32But that Mew can happen most, but how this may now be getting in.
03:02I also want to wish well to the members of Vanishing, the people who sang the theme song for Sasaki's entrance music, who has also throat issues and has to go to a semi-closure.
03:27We're going to kick him off the bank. Daisuke Sasaki of DDT versus Noah's Amakusa in a special singles match.
03:37Amakusa debuted with Noah 2022. Nobody knows what he was doing before.
03:44But for Daisuke Sasaki, we are a week and 20 years removed from his debut match at Jinkiba First Ring,
03:52where he faced, in the first opener of the show, a man called Sato, who Sasaki claims could be Amakusa.
04:05Now, just checking the face of Amakusa.
04:08He's saying, hey, that's Sato.
04:13He's like, Sato, yeah, his face is Sato.
04:15Now, if Amakusa is who Sasaki claims to be, the man, Sato, a very well-traveled wrestler.
04:28He was even a one-time former Ice Ribbon Tag Champion with Riho of AEW.
04:35Wow.
04:36So he's really been everywhere.
04:37And Amakusa looking to get the pedigree, but immediately countering right there, as if he knew.
04:51Now, Amakusa did debut 20 years ago.
04:54We're looking at a 20-year veteran moving that quickly and athletically with that kind of agility in the ring,
05:01which is truly impressive.
05:02Sato. Sato.
05:07Just chiding Amakusa, calling him Sato.
05:12Now, he accepts a handshake.
05:14That's almost like admitting that he is Sato.
05:18Oh, no.
05:20But obviously, Sasaki never giving a handshake for free.
05:25Or at all.
05:30Now, Sasaki with the entire damnation unit around the ring.
05:35Amakusa all alone.
05:41At a definite disadvantage.
05:44But will he be able to overcome that?
05:46There he go!
05:48One of his signature moves right there, just launching his whole body into his opponent from the top of the ring.
05:53Always beautiful to see.
05:57Now, I did say Amakusa was alone in the fight against the entire stable.
06:04But Tetsuya Endo did give a piece of advice to Amakusa on social media before the match.
06:10Was it about his ribs?
06:12Yes.
06:13Over the ribs.
06:15They're broken.
06:15Of course, Endo being a former member of Damnation TA, knowing Daisuke Sasaki all too well inside-out.
06:26That's right.
06:32Really wrenching in on the arm to make sure he can't get the crossface in later in the match.
06:37And Sasaki countering himself with a backbreaker.
06:45Running right into that backbreaker.
06:49Stopping Amakusa dead in his tracks.
06:55Neckbreaker on the ropes.
06:57Very huge crowd here on the side of Amakusa.
07:12Sasaki going to his favorite place outside the ring.
07:16Second best from the bar.
07:18As you just mentioned, Amakusa getting a lot of cheers.
07:21Perhaps even more than Sasaki, which is rare.
07:23Because Sasaki, although despite being a complete asshole, very popular here in DDT.
07:31Oh no.
07:33What did I say about him being a complete asshole?
07:37Getting very rare booze at Ravoboos is normally getting cheered at shows like this.
07:41That's right.
07:44Shows how much of a baby face Amakusa is.
07:53Screw neckbreaker.
08:00Many, many big matches here at Ryogoku.
08:04The one that just hit with Dino.
08:07With the apology and all.
08:09She had the match with Desperado.
08:11Yes.
08:11Somehow, he always gets to manage himself to get booked in a singles match in this very stacked Ryogoku card all the time.
08:24Comes to show how much of a popular wrestler he is and how much trust he has from the company despite being a complete asshole.
08:33Always claiming to retire every year after a Dio Grand Prix.
08:44She's constantly in debt, too.
08:46That's right.
08:51Goes for the roll-up.
08:52Turns it into a very smooth crossface.
08:56Right in the center of the ring.
08:59Place where Amakusa does not want to be in.
09:03Did a very successful Korakuen show just this past October.
09:11That's right.
09:13Oh, Amakusa getting to the ropes finally.
09:26Saki seems to be moving fine despite just coming back from a rib injury.
09:30I believe it was his vitamins, prayers from God, and beer that helped him recover.
09:38Especially the prayers to God.
09:40Definitely needs help from God, this Daisuke Sasaki.
09:49Poking the eyes.
09:50He also said he's fighting for the honor of Dino.
09:53Wishing for his recovery.
09:55Which is very rare, Sasaki himself.
09:59Huge drop kick to the side of Sasaki's face with Amakusa.
10:08Ridding in pain from the offense Sasaki.
10:12Amakusa, a man of very few words and hard to read his facials, too.
10:18Who is definitely looking invested in this match to face Daisuke Sasaki.
10:26Whoa!
10:29Huge spinning tornado right there.
10:31And probably, you know, a pain for NOAA translators to translate to English.
10:38Using very fancy traditional Japanese, I believe.
10:41Yes, it's very classic.
10:43Amakusa is a samurai warlord who was openly Christian, which was largely banned in Japan at the time.
10:52That time, right, yeah.
10:53In the Nagasaki region.
10:56The man speaks like he's from the 1400s.
11:04Relling in the crowd, Amakusa.
11:05Gets a super kick to the face.
11:15Runs right into it.
11:16And Sasaki quickly follows up with a DDT.
11:26Hoping to get it.
11:28Catches the kick.
11:31Going behind.
11:32Oh!
11:32A huge capture suplex from Amakusa.
11:41Dragon suplex.
11:42Rare.
11:43Sighting from Daisuke Sasaki.
11:49Gets a counter spear on Amakusa.
11:51I like that huge.
11:52Remembering days from his rugby career, Daisuke Sasaki.
12:00Leaning on that spear.
12:02In clutch moment.
12:09Both minutes down.
12:19Amakusa.
12:19Sighting the stairs.
12:20Sasaki first.
12:25Sasaki with bare knuckles.
12:26On to Amakusa's forehead.
12:31Just taking it all in.
12:33Oh!
12:41Huge slap.
12:43Returned by Amakusa.
12:47Looked a bit emotional and personal there.
12:49Sweeps the leg of Sasaki.
12:53Caught him trapped right there between the second and first ropes.
12:58Right leg's full trap.
13:01Knee.
13:02Looked like it landed on the shoulder of Sasaki who's grabbing onto the ropes.
13:07Rough position to be in.
13:08That's right.
13:10That's right.
13:15Sasaki claiming injury.
13:20But obviously Sasaki never.
13:24An expandable stick.
13:27Didn't know he could do magic tricks now.
13:29And conveniently using Rev Kiso's blind spot to push Amakusa into him.
13:38Kiso and blind not going well today.
13:41The broken stick.
13:50Coincidentally working like a nunchuck there.
13:53Using it more like a dart.
13:56Right in the face of Amakusa.
14:04Amakusa careful.
14:05That is a bad position to be in when you're facing Daisuke Sasaki in Ryogoku.
14:10And for Sasaki his favorite position for you to be in.
14:19However considering the rib injury that Sasaki recently sustained.
14:26I am advising against this.
14:32But obviously because it's a big show.
14:34Sasaki just like Takagi himself.
14:36Didn't show off especially in Ryogoku.
14:38I told him the one thing not to do when in New York is to do this.
14:43DC will get injured.
14:45And it will be very expensive to hit a hospital.
14:48No!
14:50In New York.
14:52But he also here in Tokyo.
14:53He will not stop.
14:55At any decent advice.
14:57He is already hearing the regret from Sasaki right there.
15:06That was more rib first than elbow first.
15:09That's right.
15:09He is slamming his whole body into the face of Amakusa.
15:12Seriously this is like a gambling addiction for Sasaki.
15:23He cannot stop himself from the adrenaline high of diving off of the apron in a big show.
15:33And now he is looking for a second one but conveniently Amakusa rolling to the center of the ring.
15:43Sasaki going for the cover and holding the arm.
15:46Once again turns the kick out into a face lock.
15:51Fast face from Sasaki.
15:53The center of the ring once again.
15:58Amakusa having to pull his whole body.
16:00And Sasaki just to break that submission.
16:06Not even time to catch his breath after being pressed with that elbow drop.
16:12He is barely getting his tippy toes through the corner right there.
16:19Ring ropes.
16:25Sasaki not giving Amakusa any time to recover.
16:29Sets him up on the corner.
16:35Now what?
16:37Looked like he was going for an avalanche pedigree.
16:40619 to the knee.
16:42From the second row.
16:44Very timely 619 right there.
16:49Now Sasaki on the one.
16:53On the receiving end probably.
17:00Flying.
17:02And sending all of Damnation onto the floor.
17:06Clearing the way to throw Sasaki back into the ring right there.
17:09Nobody home.
17:17Looking for that finish but unfortunately Sasaki rolling out of the way.
17:23That would have been great timing for Amakusa while he took the rest of Damnation down.
17:26And it would have been impossible for them to pull the referee's leg if Amakusa had pinned Sasaki.
17:32Amakusa!
17:33There.
17:33Right there.
17:42This is for Dino.
17:48Telling the spirit of Dino right there.
17:52Standing in the message.
17:56Dazed and confused.
17:58Looking to get a
17:59not so dash of a driver right there.
18:03I don't think his tides are elastic enough to get Amokta's head inside.
18:12Use his head.
18:14Change the move around.
18:22Now getting the
18:23Mystica style crossface.
18:27One down to the ring.
18:29Return time right in the center.
18:31How would Amoksa get out of it this time around?
18:39Trying to crawl.
18:41Reading his compress.
18:48Lucky rolling him right in the center.
18:50No way to escape.
18:54Going for the
18:55looking to get it.
18:58Cross over.
18:59Face left.
19:00Amoksa turns it around.
19:03Transition well.
19:08Both trying to
19:10counter each other's move.
19:12And Amoksa with the crucifix spin.
19:16He's not got the arm locked in.
19:22Crucifix bomb.
19:24Goes for the cover.
19:28Almost gets it to me right there.
19:30Like I said, Amoksa one of the first Christians in Japan.
