Dramatic Dream Team 8/11/2022 Road To Peter Pan 2022 In Chiba Only We x DDT

I saw everything but the main. The main was some comedy battle royale but I thought the rest of the show looked good enough to cover it anyway.

Not great or anything but a solid face vs heel match here. Probably could have been better but it was okay for what it was.

Sasaki talks on the mic after and teases shaking hands with Uni. He kicks him in the crotch and takes his mask off. Sasaki talks more trash after and tries to put the mask on Paul then wears it himself. 

Poor Unicorn has to do an interview after with no mask.

Oka hits a running lariat then butterfly suplexes Ishida for the win.

Nothing too special or crazy but it was fast paced and a decent trios match. Ishida was good as usual and Soma did a lot of work here. Would have liked to have seen Naya more though.

It went longer than it needed to and some of the chops and stuff got repetitive. Oishi also went a little too far with the goofing around. There was still some good to this, but it had room to be better.

Overall thoughts: The 4 matches I saw were all at least decent and it probably took less than an hour to see them all. I thought what I saw was fine.
