Danshoku Dino vs. Maki Ito

[3.0] "Danshoku Dino's gimmick is just legitimately offensive and I should have just skipped this match on Teej rewatch. No thank you."

[7.0] "An interesting twist to see Dino wrestle Ito, knowing that he won't be able to go into his usual bag of tricks and seeing him wrestle as a monster heel for the former idol to try and over come. Ito turning the tables by using Dino's same tactics against him was pretty silly but it worked with both of their characters. 3.5 stars"

[10.0] "I have never seen Dino wrestle an intergender match before, so I was intrigued coming in. And I was blown away by this match! Maki actually had the babyface performance of a lifetime here! Korakuen was fully behind her, and her screaming defiance... well she was an honest-to-god, earnest BABYFACE. I love this era of the rejected Idol Maki character, and this match did wonders to put over her defiance in the face of a larger, more powerful opponent in Dino. Her selling was awesome (especially her disgust when Dino did do his minimal amounts of his shtick), and she never gave up! In fact, she used Dino's own antics against him! Just an awesome performance. I really wasn't expecting to enjoy this one as much as I did ... I think it's a damn good match, and an even better story!"

[7.0] "This was actually pretty fun and told a nice story of Dino not taking Ito seriously and using his size to over power Ito. ***"

[8.0] "Right, you either love or really hate Dieno. However, regardless of what you think of his character you have to admit this was great storytelling. Dieno basically killed Itoh but Itoh managed to get offence in and she really showed her heart and passion, something that would become an important part of her character."

[9.0] "A clash of character. One of the most important face of DDT, against the young but shinning Maki Ito. I love when 2 characters play with each others, and that's the case here. But, the point, the great point about this, in the construction of the match, the storytelling of the match. Maki Ito shines like never before in this context, Maki Ito pass through a new level, and seeing years after, this, one of the most important match in the Maki Ito's carrerr. A the end of this match, i just cry. This is pur wrestling."

[2.0] "I can't stand Danshoku Dino's gimmick at all and it prevented me from getting into this. His stuff is just extremely gross and unpleasant to watch."

[9.0] "Holy smokes! What a war! Maki got completely destroyed there. Kicks to the face, vicious suplexes, body slams, submissions and ass sniffing. After the match she ended up in tears crying. Danshoku Dino took some damage as well. This is one of these matches, you will remember. I'm sure I will remember this fight for a long time."
