[2016-06-26-DDT] Shuji Ishikawa vs Shigehiro Irie

[superkix]

This year's King of DDT has produced some fun matches but this was really fun. Exactly what I wanted from an Ishikawa/Irie encounter. The build to the katahajime and the story that follows after Irie finally gets it locked in is great. Fun midsection work from Ishikawa supported by some great facials and selling from Irie. At one point, Ishikawa just lifts him up by his leg and boots him int he gut. And they hit each other hard. This match would feel right at home in BJW. The exhaustion of the finishing stretch played out so well. Easily my favorite DDT match of the year.
