DDT "Road to Ryogoku in Hiroshima - Dramatic Dream Toukasan"
and DDT "Osaka Kita Story" review by Kevin Wilson Dates: March 1st, 2014 and March 2nd, 2014 Another super short DDT event, but it has a title match so there is really no way to avoid reviewing it. If more of the show pops up later I will update the review, but for now this is what we have. The following two matches will be reviewed: 3/1/14 - DDT Extreme Championship: HARASHIMA vs. Danshoku Dino Like the last DDT review I did, this won't take long. (c) HARASHIMA vs. Danshoku Dino Match Thoughts: I'm not sure what a New York Style match, or why HARASHIMA would pick a stipulation that requires a kiss to be done with the pin for it to count. I am guessing that somehow Dino got the right to choose the match stipulation. Anyway, I mean, obviously it is goofy as hell. It was clipped in half so we missed the beginning of the match. Uh I dunno, it is not really my thing although the surprising result seemed to excite the crowd anyway. I guess for Dino fans this may have been entertaining? Score: 3.5 Michael Nakazawa and Tomomitsu Matsunaga vs. Zeus and The Bodyguard Match Thoughts: Zeus and The Bodyguard are an impressive looking tag team, I will give them that. You don't see a ton of muscle-head Japanese wrestlers, so seeing two on one team is pretty unique. Unfortunately this match was all clipped to hell so I can't saw how their performance was as a whole. Zeus is a bit stiff (as in taking offense, not as in legitimately hurting his opponents), but it was too small of a sample size to really get a good opinion of them. Score: N/A Final Thoughts: Best Match: Michael Nakazawa and Tomomitsu Matsunaga vs. Zeus and The Bodyguard. Even clipped this was the better match. Maybe I am just jealous because Dino gets more action in the ring than I get outside of it. But the muscle guys are entertaining, I like big lumbering wrestlers that do things like double chokeslams. MVP: Zeus. They were hard to differentiate in this match, but Zeus had the most ring-time so he gets the nod as the MVP. Plus he got the pin, that has to be worth something, right? Overall: I'm not going to grade this one either, there was a third match shown but it is from an event that I already have, so no need to double dip. What was shown was pretty rough but it was less than ten minutes of wrestling so I can't really judge it too harshly. This event was combined with a Big Japan event, which seems like an odd combination since the promotions aren't similar at all. Obviously this would only be for DDT completists. Grade: N/A Back to DDT Event Reviews review completed on 6/23/14 |
