Apparently Taiji Ishinori thinks he’s superhuman and capable of being reckless & doing ridiculous things, and convinced New Japan to let him to it again today so they presented “Superhuman Taiji Ishinori Gets Even More Ridiculous”.
Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on New Japan World as a PPV in Japanese. It is available outside Japan for $22.99 US.
The announced paid attendance was 1562, a legit sellout.
The event consisted of a 2 Hour Iron Man Battle Royal divided into several blocks, with Ishimori facing groups of wrestlers.
Part 1: Pre-Block: Ishimori went 1-1 vs. Katsuya Murashima, Daiki Nagai & Jun Kasai.
Part 2: Secret Block: Ishimori went 1-6vs. Mohammed Yone, LEONA, Atsushi Kotoge, Shiro Koshinaka, Jun Akiyama, Dump Matsunoto and Brahmans Shu & Kei.
Part 3: Tohoku Block: Ishimori went 1-2 vs. Ryusuke Taguchi, Yoh, Dick Togo, TAKA Michinoku, The Great Sasuke, Shuji Ishikawa & MAO.
Part 4: Muscle Block: Ishimori went 3-0 vs. Yoh, MAO, Titan, Sho, Hyo, Koju Takeda, Boltin Oleg, Ryohei Oiwa & Drilla Moloney.
Block 5: Ishimori went 5-1 vs. MAO, Shun Skywalker, Kagetora, Dragon Dia, Ryuji Ito, Shingo Takagi, Tatsumi Fujibami and Kazuki Hirata. Ishimori finishes the 2 hours at 11-10.
Main Event: Taiji Ishimori beat Gedo.
At the end, it was announced Ishimori will get even more ridiculous one more time on 11/12 at Shinjuku Face, and announced for that event was Ishimori vs. Dragon Kid.
Regular programming will now resume with the next event Thursday at Komatsu General Gym in Ishikawa. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET.
