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.

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.

We lied to you. Sorry. Rather than the promised profile of Kazusada Higuchi, Mark & Kieran are back with their rundown of what it traditionally DDT's biggest show of the year, 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.
