MOTYC: Yuka Sakazaki vs. Shoko Nakajima, DDT Ultimate Party 11/3 HM: Pretty much every other match on the main card, minus the UWA World 6-Man tag match, DDT Ultimate Party 11/3 Just gotta go with my gut feelings here. It’s 5:30 in the morning and I’m not going to bother listing out every goddamn match on the card for the HM, but this is a show that is absolutely worth going out of your way to see, and is probably my show of the year overall.

fadmonkey posted:Nth. That video package alone, goddamn. Just to point out some of the things you could miss in the long term story: David Starr trod on the WWE belt at a show, when wrestling Walter, making him a face for that moment. After that, Jordan came down to stop Starr cheating to win, which meant that the crowd weren't the crowd that got to see Starr finally win after 25 or so tries against Walter. That turned Jordan heel against even though Jordan was right. Jordan missed a show (he was probably never booked but he was on the poster) and then tweeted a picture of him on the same date at a boardgame convention for WWE. Jordan started wrestling younger OTT wrestlers and started doing amore brutal style against them. David Starr came out to the match wearing the same outfit that Devlin wore when he won the title in the stadium. Really a DVD should be done for the whole thing.

All of these matches are from DDT Ultimate Party 2019 from the 3rd November. Going to nominate a lot but hell it was a great show! MOTYC: Ironman Heavymetalweight Delayed Entry Battle Royal DDT are widely known for their comedy and while that isn't everything they do - and for these big shows even a fraction of what they do - it is usually very good. From the pre-match video satire of the WWE 24/7 title (really a callback to the titles roots as a pastiche of the WWE Hardcore Title; with no one at the time thinking it'd last the best part of 20 years but isn't that the story of DDT in a nutshell) resulting in two title changes before the match started with SHOTA being pinned by a chair, which was also being pinned by another chair; to Kazuki Hirata's early match run working with two inanimate objects (Yoshihiko was entrant 3) and then with the Pokotan, the DDT mascot, to Yuki Kamifuku accidentally becoming Ironman Champion by posing on the chair, to the glorious ending with Glorious Matsuno singing at the same time as wrestling, eliminating and throwing out others with his eventual loss to Hirata being timed exactly with the three count coming at the moment the last note of the song played: it was as good a comedy battle royal as you could get. HM: Keisuke Ishii vs Fuminori Abe Prior to this show I had never seen a minute of Ganbare Pro; I've seen Ishii in DDT and not knowingly ever seen Abe wrestle, so this match was a pleasant surprise. Just a very very good seven minute match: paced brilliantly and it felt like it ended at the exact right time which is often hard to do for a shorter match if people perhaps expect it to go longer. HM: K-OD Tag Title Four Way Hardcore Match This is a match full of great high level talent who didn't have a role elsewhere on a stacked card hence this match. Slotted between an emotional Princess Tag Title that I've already nominated; this was just a great hardcore brawl of the sort that DDT do regularly; but to a higher level. Plenty of "oh poo poo someone is going to die" moments; a load of crazy bumps, and ending with a clear, conclusive victory (often rare in these things) with Daisuke Sasaki hitting Daiki Shimomura in the head with a guitar while standing on a table propped between two ladders; before hitting the pedigree onto the table (and that gently caress that table didn't break) before submitting him with the cross-face. Great crazy match; the perfect thing to have between before the intermission. HM: Masahiro Takanashi vs Ryuichi Sekine I have also never ever watched a BASARA show in my life and my knowledge of them is random BASARA people showing up on DDT shows, and I don't think I've ever seen Sekine wrestle before - or at least if I have it didn't stay with me. Takanashi is one of the most underrated wrestlers in Japan: able to do straight wrestling and comedy in both big shows like this and also on tiny mat shows with Gatoh Move: with a large variety of different opponents. The crowd wasn't very reactive (possibly this being the first post-intermission match meaning that people weren't back yet, possibly it being BASARA, possibly just it being in hour four of a show with three big matches left) but I don't think that's on these dudes really. It was just a good mostly technical match; with a shock ending as Takanashi manages to steal the UNION Max title away from BASARA two months before they split from the DDT Group. If that's typical of a BASARA match then I'm interested in seeing more now since it was very fun. MOTYC: Shoko Nakajima vs Yuka Sakazaki Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling was started six years ago as one of those weird experiments that DDT do: no one ever expected it to become a proper Joshi promotion and honestly on foundation it wasn't meant to. It recruited people from some rather random spots and did shows that were more idol performances with pro wrestling matches rather than actual pro wrestling events. The shows didn't even always have a ring; mat shows were common in early Tokyo Joshi and while mat shows are great fun, they're not exactly a sign that you are doing well. There also hasn't been a women's title match by a Japanese promotion within Sumo Hall for six years: even since the one off Stardom Sumo Hall show that became a farewell show for Yuzuki Aikawa (which, ironically, was bolstered by DDT talent on the undercard including Kota Ibushi and Michael Nakazawa). Since DDT realised what they potential had they've been building for years to this moment; all of those random pre-show offer matches and appearances by TJPW wrestlers in mixed matches or battle royals (including on this show!) was all really building to this: a big Princess of Princess Title match on the top end of the biggest DDT show of the year; the biggest TJPW match in history. And it was also the best TJPW match ever - at least the best I've ever seen. A battle of two pillars of the company; two people who basically started with the promotion, who've been career long partners but also career long rivals: who've grown and developed along with the promotion they wrestle for. Yuka was looking to regain the POP title and really avenge what happened last time: she is the only person to hold that title that failed to successfully defend it in the first defence and that is something that she knows about.. I think all of that history really helps this match: this isn't just a random match: but something that really has been years in the making on all sides and the wrestlers involved in the match really knew it. It was a back and forth battle with almost everything: some good mat wrestling at the start; some great high spots in the middle; and overall it was paced very quickly as a good Joshi main event tends to be. There was also this intensity that made it feel like a big fight as well: none of those little funny mannerisms and character moments that got Sakazaki over big in Japan and recently in the US were there and nor should they have been: this was a serious match and there was no time for that stuff. The crowd - a lot of whom probably hadn't come to the show to see this match - were into it by the end and if coming off of this show Tokyo Joshi haven't made some new fans then it wasn't for lack of trying. The emotion at the end also really added to it: by the end Yuka was crying, Mizuki (her current tag team partner, who she'd had a decent length Tag Titles run with earlier this year) was crying, Shoko Nakajima was crying; I was crying: I think everyone was. Easy match of the night without putting any thought - you could nitpick and point out minor issues but they don't detract from the match and things like that with a match like this are sort of missing the forest for the trees. MOTYC: Antonio Honda and Miyu Yamashita vs Kenny Omega and Riho Sometimes a match surprises you, when in hindsight it really shouldn't have. This is one of those matches for me. I always expected it to be good: but to get this great a match from this I didn't expect even though it was silly not to. From the start this crowd was massively into this match: Kenny Omega was massively over as you'd expect for someone coming back to what was their home promotion after five years where he became a much bigger star (the reaction to Dr Wily starting to play, and the massive amount of streamers is proof of that): but the other three people in this match were hardly unpopular: Honda is the best comedy wrestler in the world and beloved by DDT fans, Miyu Yamashita is the ace of Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling and because of that she's featured a lot on DDT proper shows: and Riho has a long history with DDT plus going to America and instantly winning a major Women's Champion is something that always gets you over. This match was everything you could want from this sort of semi-main event match. Although it looked like they were going to go very comedy heavy early they really didn't: Kenny brought back the STOP Enziguri and you of course had Gon the Fox and other standard Honda stuff but other than that it was a very good mixed tag match with some great comedy: the sort that DDT do better than anyone else in the world. Exchanges between Riho and Miyu Yamashita that made me really want to see a singles match between the two; Antonio Honda a couple of times a year will click into his big match mode which shows that he can go with anyone; some really good and creative double team moves with Riho and Kenny; and also the sections of the match that had Miyu and Kenny against each other made me really want AEW to do inter gender matches: if its done like DDT then its not something that should be a problem. Just a very very fun match: and not one that you'd see anywhere else. Plus Kenny wore his pink gear that matches with Riho's which automatically makes this a great match. MOTYC: HARASHIMA vs Konosoke Takeshita Not going as in-depth on this one: for those who don't know this is sort of DDTs Tanahashi/Okada equivalent with HARASHIMA as the ageing ace and Takeshita as the young person challenging for her spot (although he's not been accepted by DDTs fans at that level really). Not at the level of the prior two matches for me (has that big mens title match issue of starting slow and having bits that don't seem to play into anything although the mat wrestling early was good): but it really picked up towards the end. They really played up HARASHIMAs back being a weakness after the angles they did leading to the match (Takeshita beat him twice before this show with the Walls; once by submission, the other by corner stoppage) with a few big submission spots that worked. Watching live I was tired and count out on the matches before so I didn't see the finish coming but I didn't think HARASHIMA would win: it worked though and that was a live thing I think. Great match to end a great show - but not the best match on the card. All in all: DDT Ultimate Party 2019 was my 2019 Show of the year by a fairly long way: even above these matches nothing was bad: and the stuff that didn't hit was at least decent. A real feel good show as well: the very emotional TJPW matches, Kenny's return and HARASHIMA surprisingly toppling Takeshita before bringing everyone back to the ring for a big sendoff.

Dragon Gate - Gate of Destiny 11/4 HM: Shun Skywalker and Masaaki Mochizuki vs. YAMATO and Kzy Teams were decided by lot, but any combination would have been killer. Really fun tag match with lots of personality, at least as good as like half the AEW tags that get nominated. MOTYC: Open the Brave Gate Championship - Yokosuka Susumu vs. Kaito Ishida This match had like, six different moves total and it was absolutely phenomenal. Perfectly executed story and emotion, and I feel like any match that manages to get people in the audience to weep with joy is probably a MOTYC. Also a great end to Susumu's reign, which was like, the perfect mid-card title reign. MOTYC: Open the Dream Gate Championship - Ben-K vs. Masato Yoshino Hell of a war that showcased on of Dragon Gate's best strengths, with long-term booking and their ability to call back to poo poo in a satisfactory way that heightens the drama of their matches. And this match was pretty much all high drama. Ben-K worked like hell to show the difference between challenger Ben-K and Champion Ben-K.

MOTYC 8th October Dragon Gate The Gate of Victory Night 5 Open The Dream Gate Championship Ben-K (c) vs Masaaki Mochizuki I have been eagerly waiting for a chance to see this and finally did and it's a loving rad. Watch it: https://rutube.ru/video/8c5844df69829af5ac455f511d041ae8/?ref=search MOTYC 26th October OTT 5th Anniversary OTT World Championship Jordan Devlin (c) vs David Starr This is a fight. Perfectly booked ending to a big feud, red hot crowd that aren't really ever quiet and are split maybe 65/35. The hometown champ has sold out and gone to WWE, the American poo poo stirrer has turned into the defender of independent wrestling. But all that wouldn't matter if the match fell flat, didn't deliver on the great build. It doesn't; it's a battle with great fire, great character moments, Devlin contemplates using his belt as a weapon while Starr calls him a capitalist pig and spits in his face. I think this might be one of my very favourite matches of the year. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Nov 5, 2019 |
