The entire film is made to look like a music video.

History of the film's creation
I met Mr. Nagase, the president of Fight of the Rring, when I was filming Masked Fighter.
At that time, Nagase president was also running the Fight of the Ring event.
I also met The Blue Shark, the star of Masked Fighter 2, at the same time.
About five months later, the filming of "Masked Fighter 2" began.
In the middle of the filming, The Blue Shark competed in a title match in the Fight of the Ring, and during the filming, I had some communication with Nagase president.
I am grateful to Nagase president for his willingness to allow me to shoot the film, as I am not able to shoot everything I want to shoot.
In July 2023, the Fight of the Ring 10th anniversary event and the Blue Shark 15th anniversary event were held on the same day at Shimokita Town Hall.
We decided to film both events and make a movie of them, which is the reason why this movie was made.
The other reason was that I had always wanted to make a one-take movie.
I believe that a one-hour movie can be created in one hour. (Of course, a lot of time and effort goes into the preparation...)
I thought that a one-day pro wrestling event could do that. This is one of the reasons why we decided to make this film.
I am also a former professional MMA fighter. (Formerly ranked 2nd in the world in MMA Shooto, and winner of the Asian and All-Japan Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships) I had hoped that I could use my experience in the film production.
In the process, Masked Fighter 1 and 2 and martial arts and pro wrestling films were created.
Our life experiences and connections are important for filmmaking.
When I think about it, I have been able to film at martial arts and pro wrestling venues without too much difficulty.
I gradually began to think that it would be a good idea to use professional wrestling as a motif for my film.
And I titled the film "Professional Wrestling The Movie".
This is the first in a series of films that I plan to make.
This movie is almost wordless.
I don't use words as a form of expression in this film.
Almost all of the film contains music by Quagero Imazawa.
In a sense, this film is a music video of Quagero Imazawa.
A film is expressed through images and sound.
In a documentary film we cannot film the past.
Therefore, it can only be expressed in words at that time.
I don't like that.
This film was created with the idea of expressing "human beings" through images and sound.
The film was made with the collaboration of Director Nagase, the contestants, Kagelo Imazawa, and everyone else.
The film could not have been made without any one of them.
I think that the production of a movie is a mysterious coincidence.
Thank you very much to everyone who cooperated in the production of this film.
