DDT, Big Japan, K-DOJO & FREEDOMS Set For The Arena

BJW, FREEDOMS, K-DOJO & DDT, 03/12/2011
The Arena, Philadelphia, USA

Over the last decade, many Japanese wrestling promotions have realised that there is quite an international fanbase for their brand of pro wrestling. Talent exchanges and promotional relationships were formed as these promotions would branch out to new audiences from other corners of the globe. Companies of all sizes sent some of their promising young talent over to the American indy promotions to gain valuable experience necessary to take the next step in their careers when they would return home. Others would send some of their most accomplished wrestlers over to show exactly what they were capable of, introducing new styles and elements of pro wrestling to fans that they were never aware of. Ring Of Honor fans began paying attention to Pro Wrestling NOAH and Dragon Gate, Combat Zone Wrestling and Big Japan Wrestling satisfied a generation of blood thirsty fans with their violent feud while CHIKARA Pro created a bond with Dramatic Dream Team and Osaka Pro. With more and more fans around the world becoming exposed to puroresu, the Japanese companies began to branch out and host shows in other countries with Dragon Gate being the most active in the United States and the United Kingdom, although New Japan and NOAH have also found some success with the idea.

Now four of the most active indy promotions in Japan are joining together for a big trip to America. Wrestlers representing BJW, DDT, KAIENTAI-DOJO and FREEDOMS will head over to The Arena in Philadelphia during December to host a joint show in the infamous home of ECW. Not only that but the event will take place before CZW’s annual Cage Of Death show, so don’t be surprised to see the Japanese talent crossover to the black and yellow brand for one big night when two worlds collide.

The talent so far announced to travel over to The Arena are:

Big Japan Wrestling: Ryuji Ito and Jaki Numazawa

K-DOJO: Kengo Mashimo

FREEDOMS: Takashi Sasaki, Jun Kasai and Kamui

DDT: KUDO and Danshoku Dino
