It will be June 9 when Susado Machinand hold a special fight against Toru Yano de New Japan Pro Wrestling.
► NJPW and DDT will produce a single fight function
The event, with a single fight, will be produced jointly between DDT and NJPW and will be held at the Tokyo Korakuen Hall
The fight will be transmitted as PPV both in Wrestle Universe and in NJPW World. Each company will produce and film the event for its transmission service, which means that the fight is also a competition to see which company can get more PPV purchases.
Sasadango said he is very happy to represent DDT in this special interpromotional combat. He fought against Yano last year as part of his show of a single fight with Sishiro Takagi. When he lost his duel, Sasadango described him as the first time he was defeated by an opponent who thinks faster than him. I wanted a rematch against one of the largest minds in the world of professional wrestling and is getting it in the great stage. Yano said he was not satisfied with his victory last year because he felt he was exposed by Sasadango's tricks despite winning at the end. He wants to excel in everything, which means that he must defeat Sasadango in all factors, both inside and outside the ring.
The vice president of Cyberfight, Sishiro Takagi, explained that this is a clash that faces the names and ideologies of two professional wrestling companies. The president of NJPW, Naoki Sugarabashi, compared the idea with the selection of films of the Cannes Film Festival. It will show certain perspectives of the two companies that a pitched battle between promoters could not show. Cyberfight director Akito spoke about previous collaborations between DDT and New Japan, which has been successful.
Conversations are still needed to decide which company will put the ring that will be used for combat, what Réferi will officiate the combat and even what company should appear first in the promotional material. If Sasadang still retains the DDT extreme championship for that day, he would like to defend him against Yano. However, he admits that he is unlikely that he can stay as a champion for so long. Yano likes the idea and knows that the extreme champion usually decides combat stipulations.
