[Cinderella T] Maki Ito suffers a heartbreaking defeat against Hanan. What will become of the T-shirts that were ordered in large quantities? "I can't pay the rent..." / March 11 Korakuen Hall event report

In the quarterfinals of the "Cinderella Tournament" (held on the 11th at Korakuen Hall), Maki Ito was defeated by Hanan and eliminated from the tournament

Ito, who filled the venue with loud "Ito" chants, proved her high popularity on the Stardom mat, then went on a rampage, slamming her opponent onto the mat outside the ring. She slowly but surely cornered her opponent with an inverted DDT and a reverse Boston crab

At a crucial moment, he tried to force a submission with the Ito Special (a modified Texas clover hold), but couldn't finish the job. After an exchange of prawn holds, his stunner was dodged, and in the end, he was rolled up with the Seventeen (a modified La Magistral)

After the match, Ito was in a state of confusion. "Why? What should I do? I lost!" she screamed

"Even if you ask me what I should do... Master, you did your best. I was moved," said Furusawa Kian, a protégé of Ito's Respect Corps, trying to comfort him, but Ito's emotions did not subside

"I thought I'd win the tournament, so I ordered 1,000 slightly higher-quality Ito Respect Army T-shirts. How am I supposed to pay for them? Ito can't pay this month's rent... Let me stay with you, Kian! I don't want to live in a park!" he confessed, making a shocking statement. Furusawa, who refused, saying he didn't have a room, could only hold his head in his hands

Then it seemed like Ito had come up with a brilliant idea. "Well, in that case, we'll just have to sell off some slightly higher-quality Ito Respect Army T-shirts at the Yokohama Budokan (on March 15th). Listen, Kian! Pro wrestling is 100% merchandise sales. We'll be selling Ito Respect Army T-shirts by hand at the Yokohama Budokan!" he said, and things got complicated. Furusawa responded with "Yeah!" and the two of them disappeared into the locker room together
