I don't like comedy matches. That being said, this was the best comedy match I've ever seen. I haven't unintentionally laughed this much in a pro wrestling context. In addition to being a certified badass, Minoru Suzuki is also pure comedic gold, between his looks, his smirks, his interactions with everyone around him. As a match, I don't know how to rate this...but as a collection of moments, this was amazing.I mean, I can't help but list my favorite moments from this once in a lifetime spectacle:
- Minoru Suzuki's imaginary ring entrance, kicking at an imaginary young boy along the way.
- Suzuki trying to hide his smirk during when Aja Kong walks out for the National Anthem.
- Takagi and Suzuki playing to a crowd that doesn't exist.
- Bases break submission holds.
- Suzuki bullying Super Sasadango Machine's PowerPoint presentation and Takagi dousing them both with the fire extinguisher.
- Suzuki destroying Gota Ihashi multiple times.
- Gota Ihashi laughing as he futilely chops Suzuki.
- Gota Ihashi napping on the stairs.
- Suzuki trying to throw Takagi from the upper deck.
- The look Suzuki gives Ladybeard.
- Jun Kasaki moonlighting as a janitor.
- The random encounter kickboxer in the corridor and the way Suzuki tiptoes past him.
- Danshoku Dino's hounding friends.
- The way fake Nakamura bumps into the door.
- Tenryu fistbumping Suzuki and Suzuki's giddy reaction.
- Meiko Satomura's trying to throw a baseball and failing. Miserably. To the point where she's literally standing in front of Suzuki.
- Suzuki's wind-up chop and Takagi's missed lariat from the outfield wall.
So many gems, my god. Thanks for the laughs, DDT! This is, without a doubt, my comedy match of the decade.
