This tournament features an all star lineup of some of the best wrestlers in DDT with some surprising freelance additions like Hashimoto, who is no stranger to some of the D-Oh participant’s thanks to the fantastic ALL OUT vs Sendai Girls show from earlier this year.
While DDT may have grabbed casual eyes with the announced return of Kenny Omega it’s tournaments like this that could change fans’ perception of DDT.
