With Atsushi Onita now entrenched within the management structure of DDT (namely it’s Dropkick Bar & Restaurant), he launched his own Dramatic Dream Onita aka DDO sub-label today with an event featuring his signature death match as the main event.
Today’s event was held at Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market in Kanagawa and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date. There was no live broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 282, a super full house/very near sellout.
