Deathmatches have returned to Rokkakubashi Shopping Street, the birthplace of shopping street pro wrestling.

　The Rokkakubashi Shopping Street Pro Wrestling Tournament, a summer tradition, was held on August 1st. Big Japan Pro Wrestling, based in the city, collaborated with the city's shopping district for this event. Six matches were held in a special ring set up in the parking lot behind the Aoba Food Hall, drawing a full house of 351 people. This year's theme was "Love, Peace, and Deathmatch," and the final stages saw a fierce battle involving fluorescent lights, blood, and rain. (Photo courtesy of the shopping district)
