After five trips to Japan I finally got to see DDT live! I had been trying for multiple years but DDT always managed to run events at the exact time I was somewhere else or had booked something else on the day. Did I go to this show?! No, my plane was literally landing the exact minute the show started (yet another funny scheduling conflict..), how about the Korakuen show few days later? No because of course Stardom had a major event running at the same time... The only DDT show that fit my schedule was the fifth of January show in the middle of nowhere with an audience of maybe two hundred and all I had to do was skip Wrestle Dynasty. And it was one of the most entertaining shows I've ever seen live. Four match card and it was perfect from start to finish. All that background information so that I can conclude with confidence: DDT is the most entertaining wrestling promotion on this planet.
The Baliyan Akki solo portion on Koroku's coming of age story using Within Dreams from The Album Leaf was a concept I've had for Baliyan Akki for well over a year now. I wish I was able to eliminate all the background noise around Akki, and it's not exactly what I had in mind either. So I will be reusing that concept in the future. Akki has a great self-help advice and understands people in real way. Many thanks for watching.
The DDT English commentary team feels less like a professional team, and more like a small group of friends watching a show. Perfect for a promotion like DDT.
The slow-mo TJPW destroying Anton was the best. it was wild. The time slowdown even hit all of us in the crowd. That entire sequence, I was caught mid-gulp of my highball. long live DDT
Who’s the 5th member of Schadenfreude, on the left at 23:50? Apologies if this is a stupid question, I haven’t been keeping up with DDT as much as I’d like for the past few months.
@@meerkat_ultra Yes, Mune is GanPro's young rising star and a regular member of Baka-Gaijin. He has become a member of Schadenfreude through his Baka-Gaijin membership. He is hella talented. Keep your eyes on him.
Great video, Meerkat! Koda trying to do Finally might be the funniest thing I've seen in a minute. Surprised he didn't give himself a nosebleed thinking about his precious idols.
I really enjoyed watching this show live, me and my wrestling friends all enjoyed it, DDT, like TJPW, do what i think makes wrestling the bedt, giving variety of fun and amazing athletics, and in the case of Brookes/Sasaki - violence
'Who the F is KenOh?' ~ NOAH guy whose a big AZM simp. Bought many of her signed portraits/cards/merch. His YT channel has a video of his prized purchases. I caught bits and pieces of this but I gotta finish this whole Ultimate Party show. I nearly stood up when I heard the count out flashback when Rika was pinning Honda (also happened in previous matches when when ref Matsui was counting the pinfall). Was also was hoping Kengou wouldn't have a moveset that would otherwise make me think he's cosplaying Low Ki. Would like to see more KUMADORI and Monster Haruto in future shows and make themselves more familiar to the crowd.
Akki has the seedlings of talent to become gorilla monsoo,, they guy from mid south , or even ian ricchobani.... his insight actsully touches your emotions 8n a way i cant explain. I will not be surprised if one day he a lead announce for a major promotion . Wwe could be a possible role, really that ddt announce is is just oerfection.
@meerkat_ultra yep....on Valentine's...AZM got asked by a Magazine, because they told her that she was Keno's Type and she just said "sorry he's not my type" and the cover was her apologizing😭 I would've retired
@@Kingtanuki-y8x Funny enough later on he would invite AZM to a livestream to promote the All-Together show months later. And near the end of that when AZM was asking for a chance to be in a mixed tag with him, he knew exactly what to say from the bottom of his heart.
DDT should be on adult swim!! Come on let's make it happen!

Great video. These are always a fun way to end the year

That’s Munetatsu Nakamura, I’m not too familiar myself, I just know he’s a recent member.

@@jeffmazziotta thanks!

I thought Koda was fighting a ring announcer xD OK dude is gm too. Entire story of this match was super bizarre even for Misao and Pomu segment xD

Ixhave watched this 5 times already and its just as good mas the first time. Thank you meerkat
Okay, hear me out: You add Ryo Mizunami to NWA Jr....
KENOH is that dude that got rejected by AZM
Ooof 😅

@@t4d0W can't blame him
Plz keep reviewing ddt this is the only way I can consume it as a member of the cult of Cornette. Your energy is perfect
Bruh, why is Shinya Aoki here!? Ngl, his personality is perfect for pro wrestling
Not the first time DDT has brought in former MMA guys. Technically Aoki has been in pro wrestling since 2013.
@t4d0W
I only knew Aoki from his MMA and submission grappling career. Tbh, he'd play a perfect heel
Jesus fuck, your analysis of pro wrestling is on another level.
Also, never behave again.
