Episode 12 - Finale - Kota Ibushi
As he returns to the ring for the first time in 18 months, Mark & Kieran dive deep into the DDT portion of Kota Ibushi’s career. Arguably, one of the most important figures in the history of DDT and its exposure to western audiences.
PLUS: Munenori Sawa, BxB Hulk, Dragon Gate, the warehouse at the end of the train line, Buyuden, nuts to YouTube, the Phoenixplex, blow-up dolls, rocket launchers, Hunter x Hunter, Ninja Mack, Kazuki Hirata, Poundland Ultraman, DJ Nira, El Generico, the dual contract, Shoji Kondo, The Hollywood Blonds, attempted murder, HARASHIMA love, takoyaki, Nobunaga’s Ambition, and Mark gets stranded outside of space and time. Goodbye.

Episode 11 - Kazusada Higuchi
Rescued from a recording device that threatened to update its firmware and delete all recordings, and needing a massive edit job, it’s DDTeach! Mark and Kieran got together in the same room(!!) to FINALLY talk about former sumo and current K-OD Openweight Champion, Kazusada Higuchi.
PLUS: Mark’s guide to sumo divisions, Kieran’s loud neighbours, DNA, rookie of the year, a Konosuke Takeshita tangent, and the invisible man who isn’t in the room.

Episode 10 - Wrestle Peter Pan 2022

PLUS: phallic championships, the current state of Kieran’s relationship, “chops are tequila”, wasted talent, experiments in facial hair, conservative old men, Joey Janela’s Battle Bicycle, Mark’s unusual notepads, Black Swan: the wrestler, fear of a one-hour draw, the return of The Kieran, some intriguing debuts coming up for DDT, and Mark comes clean about his secret identity.

With this year's King of DDT tournament now unexpectedly crowning a new K-OD Openweight Champion, Mark and Kieran run down the whole tournament and some notable non-tournament developments, give their views on the goings-on, as well as what’s next for the winner.
PLUS: Takeshita Watch, PARTNER BATTLE~!, too many Takanashis, SEXY INVADER, sink plungers, upside-down Tokyo Go, Shadow of the Colossus, “brain slaw clam”, actual politics in wrestling, a new “giant”, Osaka Reggae Town, and a meaty coat hanger.

Episode 8 - Cyberfight Festival 2022
Just to keep you on your toes, Kieran & Mark are back earlier than expected with a completely different show to the one they promised last episode! A full review of the combined DDT, NOAH, TJPW and Ganbare Pro show, Cyberfight Festival and the DDT related fallout. If you want to blame/thank anyone for this episode, please direct all enquiries to Katsuhiko Nakajima.
We’ve also got some quick chat about the King of DDT tournament. This was recorded the day of the first round, so if you haven’t seen it yet and want to remain unspoiled, feel free to dip out at about the 1 hour, 15 minute mark.
PLUS: gormless Yoshi-Hashi face, sponsorship, roosters, master of disguise Kendo Kashin, cameras and commentators that should never be used again, SEXY EXORCISTO, “questionable chaos”, the college bitch, the NOAH gaikokujin team, Jonny Storm, the celebration of mediocrity, MAO doing MAO things, remixes of Power Hall, Jericho Cocky Pin, invasion angles, a detour into the morass that is AEW vs. New-Japan, the greatest entrance, Masakatsu Funaki: cycling enthusiast, inflatable dinosaurs, Kieran goes off on a wrestling TV production tangent/rant, on-air Google-assisted maths, Kojima’s Krumping Krew, being shamed by Shakespearean actors on Twitter, Go Shiozaki’s identity crisis, TAKA Michinoku’s rubbish trainees, and overuse of the word “prick”.
