Fans were treated to a unique show filled with surprises at Korakuen Hall when Taiji Ishimori competed in a 120-minute Ironman Rumble at Superhuman Taiji Ishimori Gets Even More Ridiculous. The show lived up to its name, with all sorts of ridiculousness happening throughout that made for a fun time for everyone.
Here are the highlights of the show:
Pre-Block
The AI matchmaker that placed Ishimori in a compromising situation didn’t waste time to make things even more difficult. At the show’s Buy-In, it put Ishimori in a 10-minute pre-block, adding to his already uphill battle.
Ishimori scored one win and sustained one loss in this surprise block.
Secret Block
Ishimori started the first block in the main card, as stated in the rules that he would start all four blocks. It was here that he made one of his two substitutions when he beckoned for the Brahman Brothers to enter in his stead.
Unfortunately, it backfired. The siblings could only muster scoring one win compared to seven losses, even though they technically won the block by finishing it as the only competitors remaining.
Tohoku Block
The hole Ishimori was in got deeper when he got pinned by Shuji Ishikawa, which prompted him to use his last substitution. Tarou Nohashi from Michinoku Pro took his place but didn’t do much for him, as he could only score one win after absorbing another loss throughout his stint in the block.
Muscle Block
It was in this block that Ishimori got his bearings back. He scored three eliminations, which would bring his win total to six against nine losses.
Both YOH and MAO were holdovers from the Tohoku Block, as they elected to compete since they weren’t eliminated during their block.
Dragon Block
Ishimori won big in this last block as he was the last man standing and improved his record to finish with 11 wins against nine losses. The AI matchmaker congratulated him for achieving quite the feat and for advancing to the ‘Final Mucha.’
Final Mucha
As promised, if he gained a winning record after the rumble, Ishimori wrestled in a 10-minute singles match against a “man he respects.” This man was his fellow Bullet Club War Dogs member, Gedo.
This was a first-time ever matchup that the Bone Soldier would win. After the match ended, Ishimori thanked the fans for watching and had the credits roll, showing the names of everyone involved beside a video of him singing at a karaoke.
However, the AI matchmaker would get the last laugh as it announced that another Superhuman Taiji Ishimori show will happen on November 12. The show will be called “Superhuman Taiji Ishimori Gets Ridiculous One More Time,” with its first announced match being Taiji Ishimori against Dragongate’s Dragon Kid.
