Quarterfinals

The quarterfinal round of the DDT4 started with The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) defending the PWG World Tag Team Championship against Jerome Robinson and Johnny Goodtime. After a combination of double-team maneuvers, Young Bucks knocked Robinson out by delivering the Superkick Party four times to win the match and retain the titles.

Next, The Cutler Brothers (Brandon Cutler and Dustin Cutler) took on Roderick Strong and Ryan Taylor. Brandon knocked out Strong after countering a plancha attempt by Strong by tossing him into the ring post. Cutlers then delivered a tandem bridging reverse piledriver to Taylor for the win.

It was followed by the final match in the quarterfinal round between The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) and KAMIKAZE (Akira Tozawa and YAMATO). Mark knocked YAMATO out of the ring after hitting a superkick. Jay then delivered a Crucible to Tozawa, and Briscoes followed it by performing an electric chair and springboard diving clothesline combination on Tozawa for the win.

Semifinals

The semifinal round of the DDT4 began with The Young Bucks defending the World Tag Team Championship against Cutler Brothers. Young Bucks delivered a More Bang For Your Buck (rolling fireman's carry slam by Matt followed by a 450° splash by Nick followed by a moonsault by Matt) to Dustin Cutler to retain the titles and advance to the tournament final.

In the following match, Briscoe Brothers took on ¡Peligro Abejas!. Briscoes tried to deliver an electric chair and springboard diving clothesline combination to Generico but Generico countered by pinning Jay Briscoe with a victory roll.

It was followed by a non-tournament match, in which Chris Hero took on Brandon Bonham. Hero caught Bonham with a Rolling Elbow while Bonham tried to attack him with a corner dropkick. Hero followed it by delivering a Hero's Welcome to Bonham from the top rope for the win.

Final

In the tournament final, Young Bucks defended the World Tag Team Championship against ¡Peligro Abejas!. London delivered a low blow to Matt and hit a spin kick to Nick on the top rope, allowing Generico to deliver a Brainbustahhh!!! to Nick from the top rope to win the DDT4 tournament and the World Tag Team Championship in the process.

Reception

Jerome Cusson of Pro Wrestling Ponderings considered DDT4 "A consistently great tournament that featured three four star matches (all starring The Young Bucks) and a number of three star matches." He felt that it was not "as good as last year’s tournament" but gave "Highest recommendation for one of the best indy shows of the year so far." [3]

Ryan Rozanski rated the event 8.5, praising it as "an incredibly consistent show", with "Quality wrestling with the right intangibles." He praised the "fun factor" considering that "(Paul) London was actually comical throughout the night". He specifically appreciated The Young Bucks for delivering "three extremely entertaining matches" and felt that "the historic moment of London and Generico finally dethroning the Young Bucks" was a major highlight of the event. [4]

TJ Hawke also rated it 8.5, stating it "a clear step down from the 2009 DDT4" but recommended it majorly for "the incredibly charming Peligro Abejas team that stole the heart of many", considering it "reason enough to buy this DVD." [5]

Aftermath

Young Bucks received a rematch for the World Tag Team Championship against ¡Peligro Abejas! in a Guerrilla Warfare, also involving The Cutler Brothers, at Seven. ¡Peligro Abejas! retained the titles. [6]
