Dramatic Dream Team 5/22/2022 - Audience 2022
DDT hasn't had good looking cards lately with intergender crap and Phermones. This isn't much better. They didn't even stop with the intergender stuff in one of the matches here as the men pretended to be women on top of it.
Kazuki Hirata vs Yuki Ueno
Hirata dropkicks him early. Ueno rolls out and pulls him out then throws him into the rails. He then jumping face kicks him outside. Ueno then hits a perfect dropkick for 2. Ueno slams him then frogsplashes him for 2. Hirata comes back with a headscissors then does a nice hiptoss counter into an stf.
They trade forearms and Ueno hits a suplex. Hirata no sells it and suplexes him back. Hirata enzugiri's him then starts walking slowly. He then does a weird pose for some reason and Ueno falls down. Ueno doesn't get up and Hirata goes to do his Magnum Tokyo dance and is hit from behind. They both start doing the Magnum Tokyo dance then they snap out of it and Ueno hits his forward rolling ddt to win.
I have no idea what was going on here or why.
Yuki Ishida vs Naomi Yoshimura
Yuki tries some shoulders early and gets nowhere then is shouldered over. Naomi hiptosses him, slams him and elbow drops him for 2. Yuki tries some forearms on Naomi and is chopped down. Yuki then flying shoulders Naomi. Naomi hits a big slam on him then Yuki fights back with a sumo chop flurry. Yuki hits a neat sumo fisherman's takedown then spears him. Naomi hits a chop then hits his side judo throw for the win.
This was a short squash but was well done and fun. Yuki was very fiery here and Naomi did good as the hoss.
El Unicorn, Ilusion, Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya vs. Burning (Jun Akiyama, Tetsuya Endo, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku)
Okada and Illusion go at it. Illusion dropkicks him off a leapfrog then Hino gets in. Hino hits chops on Okada and slams him. Naya and Okada trade forearms and Okada is blasted with some. Naya hits a high hip toss and elbows him for 2. Illusion slams Okada then top rope dropkicks him. Okada then hits a nasty facekick.
Okada diving headbutts him off the top for 2 and both teams break up the count for some reason. Illusion bulldogs him out of the wheelbarrow position. Endo and Hino get in. Endo goes for his handspring back kick and is fallaway slammed then standing moonsaults him. Hino racks and throws Endo then sentons him for 2.
Hino exploders Jun then Jun gives him one back. Naya running knees Akiyama then takes Endo's pele kick and knees him. Hino hits a beautiful overhead belly to belly on Endo. Unicorn flips in and does a wild jump up onto the ropes flip into a double armdrag. Hino and Naya then pick up their partners and foot battering ram their opponents off the apron. Illusion and Unicorn then get help from Burning to hit springboard moonsaults outside.
Unicorn jumps off of Naya's shoulders on the top rope and double stomps Yuya. Yuya hits a high backdrop on Unicorn for 2 then crabs him but Uni hits the ropes. Uni and Maya hit forearms then Uni hits a slap flurry on him. Uni hurricanrana's him for 2 and dropkicks him for 2. Yuya then hits a nice water wheel drop for 2. Yuya then backdrops him and crabs Uni for the win.
I didn't get Burning helping out Unicorn and Illusion. I don't know what the explanation was but it didn't make sense since they'd want to win the match. I wish that didn't happen here as this was good otherwise. The big guys played the hoss role well and the teens of Unicorn and Illusion were good underdog faces. This was a good match minus the issues I mentioned.

Kanon twisting brainbusters him then Sasaki pedigrees and superkicks Oka for 2. Sasaki hits a weird bladerunner on Oka and wins with a crossface.
I liked this for the most part. It went a little long but there was a lot of stiffness, the heavyweights looked good here and Kanon did a nice job. Saki getting nailed with the chair was also a memorable spot.
