DDT “TODEN PRO WRESTLING”, 29/06/2024
Tokyo Sakura Tram (Toden Arakawa Line)
1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs Sanshiro Takagi
Last year Minoru Suzuki and Sanshiro Takagi held a wrestling match inside a travelling bullet train that made headlines around the world. Next month there is going to be a rematch but this time it will take place in a toden streetcar travelling along the Arakawa line in Tokyo. Due to the size of the streetcar only 16 tickets will be available for fans to see the entire match in person. Takagi wanted the rematch as his last chance to get revenge on Suzuki before he takes his hiatus from wrestling in matches later this summer. He believed the bullet train travelling at 285km per hour was the reason he lost last time so fighting in a tram that only has an average speed of 13.1km per hour will give him a more even playing field. Suzuki said he will end Takagi’s wrestling career in this match so Takagi won’t even make it to his hiatus.
Suzuki revealed he has never ridden on a tram before because there were none in Yokohama when he was growing up. However he can run faster than the tram anyway so it will be even easier to beat Takagi than it was in the bullet train. Takagi on the other hand has used it dozens if not hundreds of times throughout his life. He is excited over how creative he can be fighting inside a tram. He knows it is safer for him to throw a Dropkick in there than in a bullet train. This will be Takagi’s fourth singles match against Suzuki. He lost to him in Budokan Hall, the Tokyo Dome and a bullet train. Can he finally beat him when the next match takes place in a streetcar?
