DDT Ryogoku Peter Pan 2018
Under Card
Time Difference Battle Royal:
Fun battle royal with some funny appearances.
Mina Shirakawa DDT First Participation War! Tokyo Joshi Pro 6-Woman Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita, Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa Vs Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima
Good match. They all brought it for the big show, loads of high spots and dives to the outside. Yuka Sakazaki is awesome; can’t stress that enough.
Main Card
KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: DAMNATION (Soma Takao, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie (c)) Vs DISASTER BOX (Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuki Ueno)
Good match to kick off Peter Pan. The Endo/Hirata interactions were awesome. Endo showing off with the 450 at the end and his springboard back kicks were a highlight as well. ***¼
Gauntlet Tag Match: Mike Bailey & Antonio Honda Vs Mizuki Watase & Jason Kincaid Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Kota Umeda Vs KUDO & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Tanomusaku Toba & Keisuke Okuda Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Michael Nakazawa
Love these gauntlet matches, they are always such fun. The tag team stuff was very good (from Honda/Bailey in particular) and the pacing of the match made it fly by. ***¼
Super Joshi Pro Wars 2018: Saki Akai & Maki Ito Vs Meiko Satomura & Cassandra Miyagi
This was awesome. Meiko’s kicks to Ito were brutal as fuck. Cassandra head banging all of the place. Saki Akai had some nice kicks too. ***½
ALL OUT Vs STRONG HEARTS! Special 6-Man Tag Match: ALL OUT (Akito, Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino) Vs Strong Hearts (T-Hawk, El Lindaman & Tian Yunan)
This ruled as expected. Iino was throwing suplexes out of nowhere, T-Hawk with some stinging chops. Good performances by all and some great tag team offence. ***½
The World’s Crazy Couple Battle: Makoto Oishi & Misaki Ohata Vs Joey Ryan & Laura James
Didn’t really watch it but I did like Ohata controlling the match and Oishi. That was funny. NOT RATED
Soken Holdings Present – Will You Eat Or Be Eaten!? Giant Special Single Match: Super Sasadango Machine Vs Andreza Giant Panda
This was great. Everything from Sasadango dressing up in a Sasa dango suit to trap poor Andreza to a Sasadango The Giant Panda Machine appearance. ***¼
The Difference In 27 Years Of Age! Representative Director And President (48 Years Old) And Belonging Wrestler (21 Years Old) Waste Blood Washing Conflict Play – Final Settlement Weapon Rumble!: Sanshiro Takagi Vs MAO
Excellent match. They incorporated all the weapons (And Chinsuke) into the match perfectly. Some great comedy, some of it even on the fly which makes it all the better. MAO killing Andreza was just wonderful, Sasadango could’ve used him in the previous match. A wild ride that everyone must seen. ****
Shigehiro Irie’s Grand Fight: Shigehiro Irie & Keisuke Ishii Vs DISASTER BOX (HARASHIMA & Yukio Sakaguchi)
A great send off for Irie. Irie fighting against the constant two on one offence from Hara and Sakaguchi. Irie sold everything very well and made some great comebacks. Ishii did good as the support role as well but this was all about giving Irie one last hurrah. ****
Dramatic Dream Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs CIMA
Excellent match. CIMA is a great heel, aggressively attacking the leg of Takeshita with his smug facial expression. He dominated the entire match with Takeshita being helpless because of the injured leg. Takeshita selling was a spotty in the middle parts of the match but generally good and they incorporated it at the end which is good to see. Shocked at the result but great match. ****¼
KO-D Openweight Title: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
This is going to be the most controversial match for years. Some people hated it, some like it. I loved it. It wasn’t a main event match in the typical style but it was everything it needed to be. It has comedy, probably a bit too much, some brutal spots which is clear when you see the welts on the back of Dino and Sasaki. The crowd loved it and it was hot for both men. It was very entertaining and a great main event to end a great show. ****
OVERALL THOUGHTS
Fantastic show. 6 hours long and near enough every match was very good. There was one match that I didn't take notice of (Joey Ryan) but the rest were great. Great pacing, great variety, awesome matches. This had everything. The main event will be controversial but I enjoyed it. The last four matches were tremendous, the best last few matches to a show in a while. This was great.
