There was an opening MC to kick off the show. CIMA talked about the importance of this show, and how it was being broadcast on Wakayama TV. He said they would ensure a great performance, because you couldn't have a quiet crowd for such an important event. He promised the Veterans would capture the Triangle Gate. MAD BLANKEY & The Jimmys came out for a full confrontation. They argued for a bit. Mondai Ryu yelled at Fujii & Gamma, and said they would retire after losing tonight. MB left. CIMA told the Jimmys to not be so jimi tonight, and bring their flashiest performances.
After pulling the shocking upset on Shisa, Tominaga once again called out TakaYAMA. He said this win proved he was ready, and he was hoping they had an answer for him. They agreed that his win was kind of a big deal, but they didn't have an answer for him tonight. However, he was welcome to second them in their match. Tommy was a bit upset at not getting an answer, but was suitably stoked about being able to second them.
The DoiYoshi unit announced their name before their match. It is: WORLD-1 International. The name is a combination of their prior unit, and their new concept & members. Doi was pleased with he name, since PAC is British, Swann & Rico are American, and Yoshino is from Thailand. Yoshino yelled at him and assured everyone he was Japanese, then quickly changed the subject and demanded the match start. Their logo is up on the roster page now.
The Jimmys closed out the show. They celebrated their title defenses, praised Wakayama for being host to what should be a new annual big match tradition, and generally played up the Jimmy Boom that is going on in DG.
