DDT held another of their special one-match events today, this one in a most unlikely place-a burlesque club. As a male I’d be all for such, more given I love Japanese girls, although this is yet another “only DDT” wacky idea.
Today’s event was held at Burlesque Tokyo in Tokyo and can be watched on demand as a PPV via PIA STREAM for a limited time for about $20 US.
The announced paid attendance was 102, a legit advance sellout.
Match result: In a Falls Count Anywhere Match, KO-D Tag Team Champions MAO & Shunma Katsumata beat Sanshiro Takagi & Fuminori Abe to retain the titles. Katsumata pinned Takagi after Burlesque Sauna Splash. V2 for the champs. The match went 30 minutes Next up: Yukio Sakaguchi & Hikaru Machida. That match will happen Sunday. After all this, Takagi floated an idea of recruiting all the dancers and creating Burlesque Joshi Pro Wrestling. Only in DDT but I’m all for it! Anyway, Moving On…
The next event is Sunday at Korakuen Hall for the monthly major event. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Saturday at 9:30 PM ET/6:30 PM PT. And they will also stream all but the last two matches FOR FREE on YouTube.
In other news, you may recall that DDT Universal Champion Naruki Doi asked for Tetsuya Endo as his next challenger recently but Endo was absent from the event due to illness, so GM Imabayashi said he would consider the match. It’s now official. That match will happen on 3/21 at Korakuen Hall.
