Beginner’s Guide to DDT: Street Fighting

In the Guide on Titles for DDT, there was mention of the Ironman Heavymetalweight Title. This is a title that is defended anytime and anywhere, leading to some unique situations. This leads rather nicely into the concept of DDT Street Fighting matches, as they carry similar a similar thought process. With a DDT Street Fighting event coming up on the 11th of Match, it’s a good idea to get familiar with them.

Rojo Wrestling, as it is known, is a match that takes place anywhere where a ring is absent.

From campgrounds to arenas, to bookstores and everything in between. These are unusual from your typical stipulation matches as DDT oftentimes will make that single match an entire event. A majority of the roster gets involved in some way, either through a multi-man tag match or a ton of run-ins. These are more lighthearted affairs and don’t often have too much of a bearing on the ongoing storylines. They are treats to watch, with a unique take on wrestling rarely seen anywhere else.

The upcoming Rojo Wrestling event is an empty arena event of Saitama Super Arena. Only one match has been announced but many more people have been announced for the show. There will be an Extreme Title defense between HARASHIMA and Shinya Aoki. The DDT original vs MMA Fighter echoes the last Empty Arena event. This consisted of Sanshiro Takagi vs Minoru Suzuki in an empty Tokyo Dome.

This kind of style is important to DDT because it gives it an identity.

It’s one of those rare times where some of the lesser-known promotions under the DDT umbrella can get involved. It also falls in line with the idea of taking something to its logical extreme. It rarely, if ever, loses its charm with innovative spots focused around the place they are in. This speaks to the creativity of DDT and its talent to be able to work in such unique circumstances.
