Dramatic
General Election 2014
(2014/9/28)
3. Daisuke
Sasaki vs. Antonio Honda
Both
these guys nurture the direct and opportunistic American style of wrestling, so
this match felt like watching a random good match from Raw, SmackDown or
Impact. Only this is Honda, probably the most underappreciated wrestler on the
planet, and his shit automatically tastes good. One minute is missing due to
technical issues, but it doesn’t affect the experience, such an enjoyable
little match.
***3/4
4. Super
Sasadango Machine & DJ Nira vs. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano
Weird
match with weird ideas, some of them flopped, but the climax was funny enough
to save the match… kind of.

5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Championship:
T2Hide (Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata) vs. Team Drift (Shigehiro
Irie, Keisuke Ishii, Soma Takao) ©
Hirata
finally got to perform his fabulous pre-match dance properly, it made for a
warm and “big feel” atmosphere. I guess it worked because it boosted his
confidence and power to the maximum, as he managed to shock the promotion by
pinning IRIE to win the championship! Great story told here, Korakuen loves
underdogs, and Hirata is one of them boys now.
***1/2
6. NOBODY
KNOWS RULES MATCH for DDT Extreme
Championship: Akito vs. Danshoku Dino ©
So,
only the ref knew the (whacky) rules for the match. Sounds fun, but it was
everything but. They dragged things and it ruined the flow.

7. KO-D Tag Team Championship: Konosuke
Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo vs. Golden Lovers (Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega)

Well, this was absolutely fabulous, almost a perfect
match, one of the greatest stories of the year, the masterpiece from the
magical workshop of Sanshiro Takagi, who simply MUST "collect" all
the Booker of the Year awards available. That's how you put over young guns,
folks. I gotta rewatch Honda/Togo, but as of right now, this is the GOAT DDT
match.
****3/4
