This event is the final day of voting in the DDT48 General Election 2011. This show is designed to give the contestants one last chance to win over the fans and hopefully get their votes. Every match except the main event will have a 10 minute time limit. A few names are missing from the card. Kota Ibushi is currently injured but still eligable for votes while Hikaru Sato and Kenny Omega will be busy wrestling in the final night of the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight League. I’m not sure where Ken Ohka, Yoshiaki Yago and Chou-un Shiryu will be on the night. I might have accidentaly left them out of the Battle Royal. But we do get El Generico taking part in the semi-main event.
Looking at the most recent standings, Hikaru Sato is in a comfortable lead with Kota Ibushu, Danshoku Dino and HARASHIMA trailing him by some distance. The real drama will be the fight for 18th place, as that is the cutoff for who will get to wrestle at Korakuen Hall on 23rd October. If Ibushi does not recover in time, then whoever finished in 19th place will also qualify to make up for Ibushi’s in-ring absence. The results of the election will be announced on the 29th September over at Shinjuku FACE.
