The main event is exactly what it says. Union will provide a more romantic sounding hardcore match where 1000 roses will be brought to the ring in boxes and other displays. They will even stapled to wooden boards and wrapped around ladders.
I’m surprised to find out that the BEST OF THE SUPER Ohka bout will be the first singles match between Ken Ohka and Kengo (Mashimo) Ohka. Kengo was originally brought into Union as the new and improved version of Ken Ohka. At the press conference for this show, Ken let slip that the BEST OF THE SUPER Ohka concept could involve more than just himself and Kengo. “If there is anyone who identifies himself as Ohka, I will recruit him,” said Ken.
Union are also attempting an experiment for the show. They are asking for anyone with previous amateur wrestling experience to participate in a dark match before the show. I’m not sure if they mean amateur wrestling as in the Olympic sport or if they mean people who took part in the Japanese equivalent of backyard wrestling clubs. Probably the latter since many of the wrestlers DDT and Union have recruited in the past came from college wrestling clubs and tiny indie sleaze feds.
