Minoru Suzuki Victorious at DDT’s “Heatwave Over Flowers 5: The Only Sauna in the World” in Shinjuku FACE, Tokyo

By: Ian McCord

Minoru Suzuki defeated the current DDT Extreme Champion To-y in a special singles match on February 14th at DDT’s “Heatwave Over Flowers 5: The Only Sauna in the World” in Shinjuku FACE, Tokyo. 

To-y tried his best to stand toe to toe with the King of Pro-Wrestling but ultimately fell victim to a Gotch Style Piledriver in (14:51). 

Backstage during his post match comments Suzuki delivered a menacing message to both To-y and current DDT KO-D Openweight Champion Yuki Ueno. 

Comments From Suzuki: 

“To-y, you think you’re some kind of champion too, huh? And you, Ueno, that delusional bastard who thinks he took my head—you too. I’m the one always after your heads, you hear me? I’m Suzuki Minoru!”

After gaining a non title win over the DDT Extreme Champion, it’s highly likely Suzuki could have his sights set on another match with To-y in the near future, but this time for a shot at the championship.
