DDT has provided a new update on the status of Masa Takanashi, who was severely injured at an event earlier this year: He had successful regenerative medicine surgery to restore/repair a damaged cervical spine cord and he will soon be transferred to another hospital to focus on rehabilitation. DDT is also launching a special online store in cooperation with Chocolate Pro Wrestling (ChocoPro, an independent promotion started/owned by current All Elite Wrestling wrestler Emi Sakura where Takanashi frequently appeared) but operated by DDT owner CyberFIght Corporation that will sell Takanashi-themed goods. Products offered will change monthly and orders will be accepted from the first Friday to the second Friday of each month. I don’t know if they ship outside Japan and the site is still a work-in-progress but you can check it out at takanashi-online.shop.
UPDATE: For those outside Japan, ProWrestlingTees, an online store used by independent wrestlers and All Elite Wrestling to sell officially licensed apparel, has opened a store to sell Takanashi t-shirts. This from DDT wrestler and factionmate Chris Brookes. There are two shirts currently available for $24.99 each and they ship domestically (US) and worldwide with a few exceptions. They also have a physical store in Chicago, IL that is open during special events. Proceeds will go to help Takanashi. The link is below (in English):
