Dramatic Dream Team (DDT) is much like many other promotions in the Puro industry. Despite their sports entertainment roots, they employ the method of using DDT factions to point out the more prominent members of their roster. Each faction in the company has a philosophy and alignment that is central to knowing how they operate. In this guide on current DDT factions, we will explain each along with a few of their accomplishments and major roster members.
ALL OUT
ALL OUT is a neutral unit in the landscape of DDT. Being lead by Konosuke Takeshita, this unit’s philosophy is all about putting on the best matches with anyone they can. This led them to some success mainly in the six-man division with either Shunma Katsumata or Yuki Iino as the third man having held the six-man tag titles four times. While in this unit this time, Akito held the Extreme Title and Takeshita held the KO-D Openweight Title twice. ALL OUT is full of members of the roster who are counted on to put on a great match and go well all out.
Disaster Box
Disaster Box is the defacto face stable, but that is to be expected. Two of their members are HARASHIMA and Naomichi Marafuji, considered the aces of DDT and Noah, respectively. Another major part of Disaster Box is the tag team known as Nautilus, the current KO-D Tag Team Champions. Other than that, their idea is just to have a good time while wrestling, with members such as Toru Owashi and Kazuki Hirata who are more comedic than anything else. They live this statement and are bound to focus on enjoying themselves over wrestling save for big matches.
#DAMNHEARTS
This is the strange offspring of Damnation and Strong Hearts. Damnation’s whole mantra of “We never conform, Kiss Ass, or Get Married” shows where they stand as a unit personality-wise. Moreover, this brought them major success winning almost every title in the promotion, save for a few of the more gimmicked titles. In early 2020, they began teaming with Strong Hearts. What was once a one-off became a more common thing. While it was official for a long time, only in late March was the name #DAMNHEARTS revealed due to them having trouble mixing the two names. Currently, Daisuke Sasaki holds the Universal Title while the team of T-Hawk, El Lindaman, and Tetsuya Endo hold the Six-Man Tag Titles. CIMA and Soma Takao have their eyes set on the Tag Titles.
Eruption
This is the newest of the DDT factions on the block, but worth talking about. There are only three names in Eruption at the moment: Saki Akai, Kazusada Higuchi, and Yukio Sakaguchi. The three of them were long time members of DDT, and while being well-known characters, there always seemed to be a ceiling for them. They formed Eruption with a promise to protect the old ways of DDT all while putting forward new ideas. This brought a new edge to these wrestlers and they had been on a roll ever since then. Being unbeaten as a Unit and setting their eyes directly on controlling the main event of PETER PAN 2020.
