DDT continued the What Are You Doing 223 Tour today with an event in Hokkaido that got off to a rough and unusual start-apparently the truck transporting parts of the ring and other equipment was late due to travel issues so they had to use a partially built ring for some of the event among other things. Seemingly transcends “only in DDT”. Because of this, the original match order was changed.
Today’s event was held at Hakodate City Geberal Wholesale Center in Hokkaido and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Monday. There was no live broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 212.
