Tsurumi Amon today held a press conference to explain the rules for the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal. There is also some new information on what prizes are on offer. The rules are as follows:
– It is a Royal Rumble match with the bonus of having five seperate envelopes hanging above the ring. Inside each envelope is a contract. The first competitor to grab hold of an envelope will win the prized contract kept inside. Nobody knows which envelope contains which contract.
– The winner of the Battle Royal itself will earn a KO-D Openweight Title shot to be held on May 4th in Korakuen Hall. When a competitor wins a contract he takes no further part in the match.
– Elimination occurs by pinfall, submission, disqualification and being thrown over the top rope and having both feet the floor outside.
– A competitor only gains possession of the contract when the taking of the envelope is approved and confirmed by Tsurumi Amon. The General Manager’s decision is final.
– There are four different prizes on offer with a total of five contracts on the line.
1. “Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere”: The contract holder gets to challenge for the KO-D Openweight Title at any DDT event at any time until the 15th Anniversary show in Budokan Hall on 18th August. Two of these contracts will be on the line.
2. “Right To Challenge Tag Anytime, Anywhere”: The contract holder and a partner of his choice gets to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Title at any DDT show, at any time until the 15th Anniversary show in Budokan Hall on 18th August.
3. “Performance Rights Anytime, Anywhere”: The contract holder gets to set up his own DDT show at anytime in any location. Of course, the holder is obligated to pay a fee to DDT based on box office earnings. There is no deadline in place for when the contract expires.
4. “Ken Ohka Anytime, Anywhere”: The contract holder can choose to become the next Ken Ohka at anytime. Being Ken Ohka will involve the person becoming a shop manager for DDT and hanging out with female wrestlers while having ulterior motives.
As you can see, there are many prizes on offer. Tsurumi Amon explained that he wants to give the DDT roster as many chances as possible to get involved in the Budokan Hall show.
