At the start of this year DDT announced they were bringing in student pro wrestler Tsubasa Suzuki as the world’s first ever intern pro wrestler. The plan was for him to work with DDT on a part time basis for a year and at the end the company would decide whether or not to hire him full time. He only wrestled twice in March and had a third match cancelled when he caught a fever. Since then things went quiet with him and he hasn’t been wrestling in DDT at all. Today it was announced by DDT that Suzuki decided to end his internship early and 31st July was his last day with the company.
Suzuki said he was prioritized with schoolwork as well as job hunting which prevented him from getting to spend much time in the ring. He recently received a job offer from somewhere else that made him have to choose between that or pro wrestling. Either option would have made him happy and after much deliberation he decided to go with his new career that will begin next year. He is happy he got to become a pro wrestler for DDT, even if it was only for a brief amount of time. For the remainder of 2024 he will continue to be a student pro wrestler and will support DDT from a distance.
