Partway through his 30th Anniversary celebrations, Sanshiro Takagi decided to scrap his short lived MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling brand in order to create something that can break away from the current restraints of modern wrestling. In its place he looked way back into DDT’s past. When the promotion was first formed in 1997, one of the names suggested for it was Super Japan Pro Wrestling. Now 30 years later Takagi decided to make Super Japan a reality! Not only that but he quickly targeted Yuji Nagata to be the potential ace of the brand. His first idea for Nagata was to go team up with The Brahman Brothers and embrace their style of pro wrestling. Nagata declined at first but was eventually convinced to give it a go. So he showed up to today’s main event in complete Brahman cosplay. He got too into the gimmick he ended up getting himself counted out after just two minutes. Nagata bowed to the other wrestlrs in apology and the two teams agreed to restart the match under Falls Count Anywhere rules.
The Brahmans completely disregarded Nagata in the rematch, drenching him with buckets of water alongside the other team. Daiki Nagai was at ringside as Nagata’s second and he too got caught when The Brahmans dunked a bucket of black ink onto him. Hikaru Sato, Fuminori Abe & Munenori Sawa were then all gathered together for Nagata to pour a bucket of blue ink all over them. He then hit Sawa with a traffic sign and applied his trademark Arm Bar while spewing blue slime out of his mouth for the victory. After the match Takagi got the audience to give Nagata a round of applause. He liked seeing this version of him today but wants to see more of Nagata’s normal self in the future. So he invited someone to the show that he would like to see Nagata wrestle in the future. It was Shinya Aoki! He asked Nagata if he would like to have a singles match and Nagata agreed. It will happen at the second Super Japan show on 14th October.
The launch of Super Japan reunited MIKAMI with TAKA Michinoku. The two men knew each other back when MIKAMI was a trainee for Universal and then Michinoku Pro in the early 1990s. MIKAMI brought out a ladder and tried to do the Volcanic Bomb from it but missed. He then tried to repeatedly pin Michinoku with the School Boy but couldn’t win with it. Insead he was put away with the Michinoku Driver II. MIKAMI talked said he’s done a lot in the last 30 years and thinks it is good to have a treasure trove of interesting matches to look back on. He isn’t clear what the concept of this Super Japan launch is but he’d like to do all sort of things here. Michinoku pointed out they are both in their fifties so they should wrestle each other again when they are over sixty!
For his debut as a wrestler exclusive to Super Japan, Mac Matsushita wrestled in a T-shirt and shorts. It is something completely regular looking compared to his Maku Donaruto alter ego. Naruki Doi forcefully pulled the shirt off him during the match so he could light up his chest with slaps and chops.
A horrifying scene developed during Kuroshio TOKYO Japan’s entrance when Poison Sawada JULIE casted a snake magic spell that made Kuroshio vomit out blood when the match began! Kuroshio was almost counted out but he got back into the ring and used his jacket to deflect some of Sawada’s other spells. He then spat Red Mist at Sawada’s face but Sawada got him back with Green Mist. The two were blinded from the mist but Kuroshio found a microphone and asked if Sawada is him 30 years from now? He challenged him to a headbanging contest but it ended with both men collapsing to the canvas and getting counted out for a Double Knockout.
Rion Mizuki & Riara wanted to raise a toast to the debut of Super Japan but it was just a trick to attack Shota & Mio Shirai while their guards were down. Shirai later got mad at Riara when she stole her Hanging Figure 4 Neck Lock move to use against Shota. Shirai eventually got the win by pinning Riara. Later backstage Shota celebrated by making silly faces and pointing at his head over and over, expecting Shirai to recognize who he was pretending to be.
The next Super Japan show will happen at Shinjuku FACE on 14th October. This was not in Takagi’s plans because he intended the show to be a one and done. However the show today drew a decent turnout so he decided to keep it going for at least a second time. DJ Nira was the first person advertised for the event. Takagi also announced that he expects to start wrestling again at the end of this year. But first he wants to have an exhibition match with Munenori Sawa as his opponent. Sawa told Takagi it’s been a while since Hentai Dai Shacho were scolded for causing so much trouble in a wrestling match. He wants the match to go beyond an exhibition and make it one step too far so they can be scolded again!
