DDT ran another Sanshiro Takagi Produced Super Japan Pro Wrestling event today, which based on a fan vote afterwards could be the last. As usual there was no DDT participation outside of Takagi himself.
Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Friday. There was no live broadcast.
The paid attendance was not announced, but based on post-event planned audience polling it appears to have been 315.
There were last-minute changes to the card due to MIKAMI being pulled off the event. The always-vague poor health. I believe he was to have been part of the opening segment.
Match 1: Evil Uno & Ram Kaichow beat Shota & Marika Kobashi. Uno pinned Shota after Something Evil.
Match 2: Hiroshi Yamato vs. Munenori Sawa & Gym Trainer Kotoka in a 3-way went to a draw. Apparent triple KO.
Match 3: Brahmans Shu & Kei & Mac Panasonic beat Takashi Sasaki, Nao Sano & Demonio Uno. Kei pinned Uno.
Match 4: Sanshiro Takagi beat Poison Sawada JULIE.
Match 5: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan beat Kumatori.
Match 6: Kazunari Murakami vs. Shinya Aoki went to a no contest. Out of control.
Main Event: Yuji Nagata (New Japan) beat Fuminori Abe.
After all matches ended, the vote on the project’s future was held for fans in attendance…258 Yes, 6 No, 51 Neutral/No Answer. Super Japan Pro Wrestling continues! The next one will be on 5/24 at Ueno Park Outdoor Stage. They also announced former All-Japan President Masayuki Uchida has been appointed as an advisor to the project.
The next event is Saturday at Mitsui Outlet Park Tama Minami-Osawa in Tokyo for a free event. There will be no live broadcast. On demand on 3/31.
