DDT confirmed that “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2018” will be held on 21st October. They also announced they will hold two Sumo Hall shows on the same weekend in February 2019. The dates booked are the 16th and 17th of February. However, the 16th February show will be hosted by Super Sasadango Machine and will also held under the MUSCLE banner!

The fukkery from that Feb 16th show is gonna be something else :mjlol:

What y'all think about DDT's new logo?

Also, does Takeshyta have the most underwhelming one-year top title run?

It's certainly up there, sadly.And not just performance wise, even if someone loves what he has done as champ, he's been very underwhelming as a draw too. We gotta wonder if DDT's decision of making him such a dominant Ace so early into his career was the right call :patrice:

ps: I'm not too sold on DDT's logo either.

Apparently, the guy who designs Bathing Ape made this. Its meh to me.

Pretty much:beli:. Tak can go but man the dude is such a friggin bore. No charisma, lack of storytelling in the ring, and just an all around bland look. Might as well throw the damn belt on Dino since dude pretty much been pushed to the moon last year.

Exactly. He has zero charisma. High motor but damn show some life in your match. They need to bring to the belt to DAMNATION.

What's sad is that Takeshyta did show charisma when he started, hell even after getting the belt he was still showing fire and make you pull for him. Once he got the Ace push he's been anything but that, which is weird as fukk. I don't know if he was told to change or it was his call, but he's NOT suited to be a steoic type of Ace.

Long overdue breh:wow:

Dude literally gets treated like Naito in NJPW. Big draw but still gets the shaft:francis:

Ehhh, I think Sasaki is bland as fukk as a performer, his strikes are cringe worthy most of the time.

Now, that doesn't mean he shouldn't get another title reign - there's no harm in that - but I don't see him as any sort of difference maker.

:patrice:How so? From what I seen, dude has this unorthodox style and can be a chicken shyt heel at the same time. He reminds me of Raven but not as :flabbynsick: in the ring. Yeah, his strikes are semi shyt though:scust:. Dude look like he be in pain trying to hit a dude.

How was the AJPW show?

It was a typical AJPW show, not bad but kinda underwhelming to the fact that it was suppose to be their first live show on the stream. The tag matches were meh, the JR match exposes what's wrong with that division, the Nagata tag match was old school flames:wow:, the Bodyguard/Zeus tag match was straight, and the main event was:blessed:. All in all, it was alright but slow most of the event.
