It’s that time of the year when nasty stuff really gets going around. It’s also happening in Japan and unfortunately DDT has been forced to make another last-minute card change as they just announced Yusuke Okada is off tomorrow’s (today US time) event. Illness. He was to have been in a battle royal for the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship assuming plans didn’t change (you never know because of the 24/7 nature of the title. Probably will be no replacement. Hopefully won’t miss any further events as there is a week until the next event.
UPDATE: Shingles per DDT’s English Twitter. Ugh, that bastion of old age. Out indefinitely.
UPDATE 2: On a related note, they also have announced Hikari Noa is now off tomorrow’s (late tonight) Tokyo Joshi Pro event. The always-vague poor health/physical condition. She was to have teamed with Toga to face Suzume & Arisu Endo. The match is now Toga vs. Suzume and Endo has been added to what was a Mahiro Kiryu vs. Haru Kazashiro match to make it a 3-way.
