Overview

• The five-day exhibition at the Royal Albert Hall opens Wednesday, October 15, with competition in a traditional dohyō.
• Venue guidance says front-row guests attend entirely at their own risk because wrestlers can fall or be thrown into ringside areas.
• Food and beverages are prohibited at ringside, and spectators are cautioned that sand or salt may be flung from the ring.
• Ringside cushions may be unsuitable for people with mobility issues, and the show is recommended for ages eight and up, with children advised to avoid the cushions.
• More than 40 Japanese wrestlers are set to compete, while reports differ on whether this is the first tournament outside Japan or a return after a 1991 Royal Albert Hall event.
