Ryōgoku Peter Pan 2011: What Happens Twice Will Happen Thrice (両国ピーターパン2011〜二度あることは三度ある〜 Ryōgoku Pītā Pan 2011 nido aru koto wa sando aru) was a professional wrestling event promoted by DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT). The event took place on July 24, 2011, in Tokyo at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan. The event featured nine matches, five of which were contested for championships.[1][2] The event aired on Fighting TV Samurai. The event was the third event under the Peter Pan name.
Production
Background
Since 2009, DDT began annually producing shows in the Ryōgoku Kokugikan held in the summer, becoming DDT premier annual event and the biggest event in the independent circuit of Japanese wrestling.
Storylines
The Ryōgoku Peter Pan 2011 event featured nine 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]
The Ryōgoku Peter Pan was main evented by Shuji Ishikawa making his third title defense of the KO-D Openweight Championship against Kudo. On March 27 at Judgement, Ishikawa and Kudo took part in a battle royal to decide the 1º contender to KO-D Openweight Championship and the Right to Challenge Anytime, Anywhere. Ishikawa would win the battle royal after last eliminating Kudo. Two months later, Ishikawa defeated Dick Togo to win the KO-D Openweight Championship. On May 29, Kudo defeated HARASHIMA in the finals to win the 2011 King of DDT, setting up the main event for the event. Afterwards, the DDT roster gave him an initiation, in which they all lined up and hit Kudo with one of their trademark moves, with the idea being that they were all transferring their energy into him and he would represent the entire promotion in the match. However, Ishikawa stopped the initiation, delivering him a Splash Mountain, while also proclaiming that Kudo had no hope of winning their match.
In 2010, Prince Devitt and Kota Ibushi started to built a rivalry, which escalated on the following year, after Ibushi and his partner Kenny Omega defeated Devitt and his partner Ryusuke Taguchi to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, but them back to Devitt and Taguchi on January 23 at Fantastica Mania 2011. Five months later, their rivalry returned, on June 10, after Ibushi defeated Ryusuke Taguchi in the finals to win 2011 Best of the Super Juniors tournament and earn a shot at Prince Devitt's IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship. On June 18 at Dominion 6.18, Prince Devitt lost his IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship to Best of the Super Juniors winner, Kota Ibushi. Shortly after, it was announced that Devitt would receive his rematch at Ryōgoku Peter Pan.
