Tanomusaku Toba is one of the most unique wrestlers in history, making a lengthy career in a company largely associated with weird comedy, while following an extremely single-minded approach focussed on being a skinny motherfucker with boxing gloves who will waffle the shit out of you with punches and kicks. Due to him being a DDT regular (although trained by Koki Kitahara), much of his career has been oversighted by shootstyle fans who would appreciate his style, and much of his career is generally in the dark due to DDT being a niche product during the early 2000s. He has had a solid number of main events though, and despite his simplistic style has proven to have a knack for epic Rocky-style finishing runs, ragdoll bumping and nifty moments. This project will not only explore how how much you can do with a pair of boxing gloves and the willingness to beat the shit out of your opponent, but also how good the early DDT crew really was. As always, matches are broken down into SKIPPABLE, FUN, GREAT and EPIC.
