Budokan Peter Pan: Celebrating DDT’s 15th Anniversary, A Spectacular 4-Hour Special (武道館ピーターパン〜DDTの15周年、ドーンと見せます超豪華4時間SP〜, Budōkan Pītā Pan: DDT no Jūgo-shūnen, Dōn to Misemasu Chōgōka Yon-jikan Supesharu) was a professional wrestling event promoted by DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT). The event took place on August 18, 2012, in Tokyo at the Nippon Budokan. The event featured ten matches, three of which were contested for championships.[1][2] The event aired on Fighting TV Samurai.

The Budokan Peter Pan event featured ten professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3]

By winning the King of DDT tournament on July 8, Kenny Omega earned a title match in the main event against KO-D Openweight Champion Kota Ibushi.

Event

Preceding the main card was the "Muscle Offers Time Musclehouse 10.5 Dark Match Rising", a twelve-man tag team match pitting wrestlers from DDT's sub-brand Muscle against wrestlers from the Style-E promotion, which turned into a 7-on-6 handicap match once Muscle Sakai entered the match. Team Muscle emerged victorious after Sakai hit Choun "Bones" Shiryu with the "Verdict" for a pinfall victory.

Next, in the opening ceremony, Sunplaza Nakano-kun performed a special version of "Ōkina Tamanegi no Shita de" on stage.

Preliminary matches

The opening match of the main card was a gauntlet tag team match featuring, in order of entrance, the teams of Keisuke Ishii and Shigehiro Irie, Isami Kodaka and Hiroo Tsumaki, Saint Rion and Poison Julie Sawada, Dohentai-dan (Hikaru Sato and Michael Nakazawa), and lastly Soma Takao and Yukio Sakaguchi. Kodaka and Tsumaki were the first eliminated after Irie delivered a vertical drop backflip to Tsumaki and pinned him. The second stage of the match concluded with Ishii performing a kneel kick to Sawada for a pinfall. Then, Ishii submitted to Sato's ankle hold to eliminate his team. Finally, Sato and Nakazawa were eliminated when Takao performed a diving guillotine drop on Nakazawa for the last pinfall.

Next, DJ Nira defended the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship in a Rumble rules match with 13 participants, including World Wonder Ring Stardom's Yuzuki Aikawa. During the match, E. Yoshihiko, a rag doll wearing male makeup, won the title by eliminating DJ Nira and became the 960th champion. Yoshiaki Fujiwara, the eventual winner of the match, then eliminated E. Yoshihiko and became the 961st champion. Afterwards, Hiroshi Fukuda tried to pin Fujiwara, but the newly crowned champion put Fukuda in a Fujiwara armbar, successfully defending his title.

The next match saw the debut of Konosuke Takeshita against El Generico. Generico secured a victory by performing his signature "Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!!" for a pinfall win.

After that was a "5 vs. 5 Soccer match". The match consisted of two halves of 5 minutes each where each team tried to score the most falls by two-count pinfall or submission. In the case of a tie, the match was to be decided by an actual soccer penalty shoot-out. The teams were Tonkatsu SC (Masa Takanashi, Daisuke Sasaki, Hoshitango, Tetsuya Endo and Tsukasa Fujimoto) and Meiwaku FC (Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda, Yuji Hino, Thanomsak Toba and Yoshiko). The first point went to Tonkatsu FC when Fujimoto submitted Honda in the "Tsukadora". Meiwaku FC tied when Urano delivered a diving body press to Sasaki for a pinfall. In the second half, Hino scored a point for Meiwaku FC by pinninng Endo after a "Fxxk'n Bomb", then Tonkatsu FC tied when Takanashi performed a "Takatonic" on Urano for a pinfall. The match then went to a penalty shoot-out in which Tonkatsu FC scored their first and fourth attempts, while Meiwaku failed to score any penalties.

Next, Homoiro Clover Z (Kudo and Makoto Oishi) defended the KO-D Tag Team Championship against Mikami and Dradition's Tatsumi Fujinami. In the closing moments, Mikami delivered the "Volcanic Bomb" to Oishi and pinned him to win the title.

The seventh match was a "Handicap Weapon Rumble" pitting Sanshiro Takagi against Minoru Suzuki. Unlike a traditional DDT Weapon Rumble where both participants would bring their pre-selected weapons at regular intervals throughout the match, this match was a handicap match in which only Takagi was allowed to bring weapons. Despite the handicap, the match concluded with Suzuki performing the "Gotch-Style Piledriver" and pinninng Takagi for the victory.

Next was a tag team hardcore match, in which Harashima teamed with New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Togi Makabe to face Shuji Ishikawa and Big Japan Pro Wrestling's Ryuji Ito. In the end, Harashima delivered a "Swan Dive Somato" to Ishikawa for a pinnfall victory.

After that was a "Transparent Electric Explosion Deathmatch", a parody of the "Explosive Barbed Wire Rope Deathmatch" stipulation used in hardcore promotions such as Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling, in which the explosions were non-existent but where the wrestlers and the referee would act as if they were real. In the match, Danshoku Dino faced Invisible Man, an "invisible wrestler" i.e. non-existent. Dino lost the match by pinfall after being rendered unconscious by a non-existent explosion.

Main event

In the main event, Kota Ibushi defended the KO-D Openweight Championship against Kenny Omega, the winner of the 2012 King of DDT Tournament. Ibushi won by performing the "Phoenix Splash" to pin Omega and retain his title.
