00:00I welcome Mr. Haku. I will do his job as usual. I will be building the booth alone.
00:08Up next, your semi-main event happening.
00:16What a special tag match we have for you guys.
00:20Both members of the opposing team, chosen by Takeshi and Takeshi Kaisei themselves.
00:32First up, Takeshi Masada.
00:36Also a member of Shadow Party International.
00:40First member chosen by Takeshi Takechi.
00:52And a very fantastic T25. Not too bad for yourself.
01:02Over here we have Higuchi Kazusara.
01:06One of the top premier guys in DDT.
01:14It was personally requested by Takeshi, I believe because Takeshi did not beat him in the last KOD Openweight title match.
01:22I believe two Septembers ago.
01:26Now the opposing end.
01:36A fantastic debut match.
01:40And now already in the semi-final of Real Goku.
01:44A member of the Rampage.
01:54And also a member of the DDT roster.
01:58Taisei Takechi makes his entrance.
02:02DDT six-man tag team champion.
02:06Of course.
02:22His tag team partner today.
02:36A fantastic defense yesterday.
02:52It beat through against Shiroki Goto.
02:56I hope you go so.
03:16Entering the ring right now.
03:18Roster member of DDT, AEW, and New Japan for Wrestling.
03:34IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.
03:40Komosuke Vegeta returns to DDT tonight.
03:54What a tag team.
03:56Your match is belly fat and you can already feel the aura emanating from both men.
04:02Radu.
04:20Who wins going to partner about how he's skinny?
04:22How do you enable him?
04:24Nobody right now?
04:28Work.
04:30The Alpha has promised that he will bring the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship back to DT.
04:39And true enough, he's done it.
05:00After a grueling schedule all over America in AEW, teaming with Kazuchika Okada, flying back to Japan to defend the belt for the first time against Hiroki Goto yesterday in a very epic match.
05:15Today, he will be teaming up with Kaisei Takechi to go against Takeshi Masada and Kazusada Higuchi.
05:30We're going to be kicking off the match with Higuchi and Takeshi, a very exciting, you could say, rematch from Higuchi's KOD Openweight bout, which was about two years ago at Kodakuen Hall in September.
05:48You could say the pillar of strength DT against the pillar of strength in Japan and some say all over the world.
06:00of course, Takeshi has something to prove against Higuchi with the last match ending at a loss from Takeshi.
06:19Takeshi refusing to lay a hand on Higuchi.
06:22very exciting match and it's barely begin.
06:32Now, Masada, teaming, tagging himself in, wanting to face Takeshi.
06:40But Kaisei is like, no, I'm here for you, you will face me first.
06:47The above man, trading elbows.
06:50Masada immediately...
06:54...holding position.
06:57Pushing Kaisei down.
06:59But now, Kaisei is just like, yeah, I can do it too.
07:02But now, Kaisei is just like, yeah, I can do it too.
07:14Huge impact of both men crossing.
07:17Masada picking up.
07:18Sending, as to the ropes.
07:21Sending, as to the ropes.
07:22As to the ropes.
07:23Huge drop kick from Kaisei.
07:27The crowd here, you know, is just waiting to burst with electricity.
07:31Now, tagging into Takeshi.
07:34As to the getting what he wants.
07:36But does he really want this?
07:40Takeshi, of course.
07:41As to the defending the IWGK World Heavyweight Championship.
07:46Also very active, almost every week on Wednesdays.
07:50AEW with the dong, Kalia's family.
07:52A little bit of tension right now there.
07:55Wow!
07:57Masada showing off.
07:59With pose.
08:00Before doing that fantastic looking monkey flip against Takeshi.
08:05Now, immediately regretting that.
08:08Huge kick, miss it.
08:09Kesha looking to pick him up.
08:14Yes!
08:15Kesha with the counter.
08:17Lips Posada up.
08:18Glance on his knees.
08:20Kaisei ripped Rana from behind.
08:23What an amazing run.
08:26Kaisei.
08:27Wow!
08:31Now, both men going to lift Higuji.
08:33But Higuji's picking both of them like it's nothing.
08:37Informal Shumo wrestler, obviously.
08:43He's a wrestler.
08:44Now, Shumo wrestler.
08:45Glugoku's a very special player.
08:46So obviously.
08:48Feels special for Higuji himself.
08:50And now Takeshi.
08:52Taking fight with Kaisei.
08:55Kaisei.
09:02Huge offense from Takeshi and Kaisei right there.
09:05Now, Kaisei sending Masada back into the ring.
09:10Takeshi following up.
09:13Now, Kaisei sending Masada back into the ring.
09:15Takeshi following up.
09:17Takeshi following up.
09:28Now, Takeshi locking in that huge forearm in the face of Masada.
09:34Not giving him any room to breathe.
09:36So I'm trying to make that escape.
09:43Attacking him into Kaisei.
09:57And now, Masada showing his strength.
10:06Oh!
10:07He gets counted by Kaisei.
10:08Repped that Bobby Slam.
10:11Didn't mean he still is superior.
10:12But unfortunately, not the case right there.
10:15And now Masada immediately trying to count on out.
10:18Kaisei kicking in those boots to the back of Masada.
10:21But Masada immediately running for Arosa.
10:24He does not want any pain to those precious leads that he used for his offense.
10:32Kaisei just now.
10:33Takeshi just putting in those elbows.
10:37Masada with the dropkick.
10:40Because all the attentions are going to Takeshi and Kaisei.
10:44But obviously, Higuchi Masada does not want to let all of that.
10:50attention and attraction go to them.
10:53They have something to breathe as well.
10:56Now, I believe first contact right here for Higuchi and Kaisei.
11:02I'm very interested to see how this is going to play out.
11:07Higuchi, the pillar of strength in DDT.
11:10One of the most massive chops in all of Japan.
11:13Kaisei reining in those elbows.
11:22Shiguchi's chops just sending Masada.
11:25Kaisei reeling to the ropes.
11:30All right, I'm back.
11:31I heard a lot of screaming.
11:32Has anybody died yet?
11:34No, it's just Kaisei Sakichi making his entrance.
11:37And receiving like very, very painful chops right there.
11:42I can see.
11:43I expect nothing less from Higuchi.
11:46I was just in the back talking to Chris and Zack.
11:50If Chris is getting in his way, he just challenged Zack to a tag match.
11:54He's going to team with Referee Matsui to face Zack and Honda.
11:58At Judgment.
11:59At Judgment.
12:00We'll see if that's going to happen.
12:02Matsui was a part of a heel unit in the past called Metal Vampire.
12:06So I could see it happening.
12:08But right now, the screaming of the young women in the crowd.
12:13The fans with the rampage.
12:15I love how he just broke the count seeing Takeshi walk into the ring.
12:19Just these two men, of course, have a history in the past.
12:25Over the Coyote Open League Championship.
12:28One of the few men on the roster that can stare down at Higuchi.
12:36I was there for the very first time working with DDT.
12:39Watching that.
12:40My very first call up in Hall, seeing these two men fight.
12:42And like, I'm sure Takeshi has a bone to take.
12:45Because he was a loser the last time they finished, so.
12:49I believe it was a tournament match that ended rather abruptly with Higuchi's headbutt to the chin of Takeshi.
13:00That's Masada.
13:02Now chest all ripped from all of Higuchi's shops.
13:05You can even see each individual finger imprinted on the chest right there.
13:12Takeshi's chest turned into hamburger meat.
13:14Kaisi's elbows.
13:15Now if I remember correctly, it's Takeshi that challenged Masada to come out for this match.
13:31I believe Takeshi and Kaisi got to pick their own opponents.
13:35So like, of course, Masada was more than happy to step up and challenge.
13:42Masada with a classic cravat on Takeshi.
13:49Snap there and the kick to the back.
13:51Obviously does not want to lose to Kaisi Takechi of all people.
14:02With all the attention going to that team.
14:05Ever since Takeshi's debut, he has become an official roster member of DDT.
14:17However, from Masada's point of view, I think he still views Takeshi not as a full-time wrestler.
14:25Simply because he has other performer duties.
14:30So I think that's one point where Masada cannot lose to Takeshi.
14:37And speaking of not losing, these two men already just staring each other down.
14:41Oh, just reeling Takeshi.
14:52And the thing, he had a title defense yesterday.
14:56That's right, defended against Hirooki Goto.
14:59And it's a little further.
15:04And I see Hubschi and I'm going to this match.
15:06We definitely want to take a bunch of whatever Goals have been doing yesterday.
15:12Takeshi looking like no slouch in the department.
15:20He's been using that post since he was called the future.
15:24that pose since he was called the future from the future to the alpha haven't seen in a long time
15:31whoever named in the future predicted correctly
15:36Takesha at the top of the wrestling world
15:41just slamming Takesha down like it's nothing
15:46Kiguchi just saying fuck you to all of that
15:50Doesn't care what Takesha has done, what he has won
16:00Brain claw
16:05Changing into a chokeslam
16:08Takesha reversing with Durana
16:11The same thing happened as well
16:18Not missing that opportunity
16:22Are we going to see air Higuchi right now? Nope
16:28Both men are going to press the advantage of Takesha
16:32The crazy thing about Higuchi is that he's missing ligaments in both knees
16:38Did not undergo surgery after torn ligaments
16:42He's just wrestling without ligaments
16:44And what's crazy about Takesha is that agility
16:48Despite the size
16:52Standing taller than Higuchi
16:56And still being able to fly
16:58Without losing any power
17:00Like he's just got bigger and faster
17:02Like he's just got bigger and faster
17:06Duke Lariat saying both men down
17:08He's really looking forward to seeing this rematch
17:20And he has yet to fail so far
17:24Guchi looking to get a grasp of air
17:30Taking Masada Takesha to his own partner
17:32Nisei Takechi
17:34Bringing those elbows
17:38Huge jumping elbow from Nisei Takechi
17:50Both men so early in their careers
17:52Semi main eventing
17:54A real Goku show opening party
18:00Nisei turning it back
18:02Not getting it all the way
18:04Masada refusing to go down clean
18:16First time you see him doing that
18:18But it looks good
18:20However Masada just kicks out with the ease
18:28Looked like
18:30A full Nelson slam
18:32But with the arms around the body
18:34Like a
18:36Ripcord full Nelson you could say
18:40Kick to the face
18:42Whoa
18:44Complete shot to the apron
18:50Anti-air dropkick
18:52Right there
18:54Springboard thwarted
18:56Masada in very dangerous territory right now
19:00Impossible to predict which side the offense is coming from
19:04In what direction
19:06Somebody can pop out from the corner of the screen at any moment
19:12Masada just getting Kaisi down right there
19:18So refusing to back down
19:22Masada
19:32Masada knocking Takechi down
19:38Both men refusing to back down
19:40No
19:42Still a dangerous position for both parties
19:44Takechi
19:52Takechi what are you thinking
19:54Looking for it
19:56Superplex
19:58Whoa
20:00Didn't even see Takechi flying from nowhere
20:02Takechi
20:06Canadian backbreaker
20:08Takechi helping Takechi down
20:10Like a ragdoll
20:12Both men just
20:14Oh
20:16No
20:18Takechi surprised Rana
20:20Caught by Higuji
20:22Try it again
20:24Slip down power bomb
20:26Higuji
20:28Gets a doctor bomb
20:30Regretting all of that
20:32Now Higuji also really
20:38Takeshita
20:39Quick last minute
20:40Breakout
20:44Looks like Takeshita has
20:45Acquired a new habit
20:46Of jumping out of nowhere
20:48Into the screen
20:49Surprise attacker
20:50Surprise save
20:51Save
21:01Okay both Manfredi kicks
21:03One center Masada
21:07Masada of course the Chinese
21:09Going back down
21:11He rips the drop kick
21:13He rips the drop kick
21:15Taking advantage
21:17Making sure that Kaisi
21:19Doesn't have to do any more
21:20Wrong case
21:21Treating Kaisi like a young boy
21:23As he should
21:27Double Boston crowd
21:29Locking him in
21:31In the center of the ring
21:32Right
21:33For all of the ring
21:35The nut
21:37Pulling back
21:42Takechi in real need
21:44Of some help here
21:45Holding back
21:46The desire to tap out
21:47Really squeezing it down
21:48Swally
21:49Every inch
21:50Managed his belly
21:51To get the rope
21:52Right there
21:53Careful to catch
21:54He matches
21:55Far from over
21:56A momentary respite
21:58Right there
21:59Flip to the corner
22:05Turns around
22:06Cross body
22:07Beautiful from Kaisi
22:08A momentary respite right there.
22:22Flip to the corner.
22:25Turns around, crossbody, beautiful from Taisei Nakachi.
22:29Looked like he was levitating in the air for a second right there.
22:33Hoping to get a tag into Kageshka.
22:39Tag is made.
22:43It's one hell of a knee right there.
22:50Exploder.
22:55Really taking a page out of El Generico right there.
23:01Many have compared Masada to Takeshka.
23:07Not just because of the looks, but of his early success in his career.
23:10Masada has to both live up to that expectation.
23:17And also prove that he is not just a carbon copy of Takeshka.
23:23Really showing up right there.
23:27Putting Takeshka down with those triple kicks right there.
23:32Looking for his finisher.
23:35He calls it Masada's biceps up very big big.
23:39Mookie Mookie for short, but no.
23:42F 바�zzy.
23:43New Doyle.
23:44Fastard Driver incoming from Takeshka.
23:47Not ending there.
23:49Wheel barrel turnin.
23:51A message right there from the Alpha.
23:54Masada no small man.
23:57Whoa.
23:58He just sent Takeshka 360 with that running knee.
24:03Whoa, he just sent Takeshita 360 with that running knee.
24:10Mid-air collision, Nasada and Takeshita.
24:15Whoa, just barely pulling out from that kick out right there.
24:19Oh my goodness.
24:22Nasada also just shaking.
24:28And that triangle kick right there.
24:31Immediately counter and Valerian, nope.
24:33Avoided.
24:35Kick combination.
24:36This is the last one.
24:39Deadlift German avoided, but that forearm.
24:44Kick to the side of Higuchi.
24:46Higuchi with the elbow.
24:48Takeshi with the drop, get Kurt for diving.
24:51Kick to the face, misses Valerian.
24:57Huge, whoa.
24:59That steel head from Higuchi.
25:05Combination release, German duplex, Takeshi and Takeshi.
25:10Oh, huge headbutt and a kick from Nasada.
25:13What a match it's been so far.
25:16One big traffic accident in the middle of the ring.
25:19Nice, nice.
25:20Nice, nice.
25:21Nice, nice.
25:22Nice, nice.
25:23Nice, nice.
25:24Nice, nice.

25:29Nice, nice, nice.
25:30Nice, nice.
25:30Nice.
25:31Nice, nice!
25:32Nice, nice, nice!
25:33Everybody trying to get up.
25:3520 minutes into the match.
25:38Been a very exciting 20 minutes.
25:43He's been using the choke some recently but it's not going to work against Higuchi.
26:08He just cannot get out of the brain.
26:12He's just throwing him out of the ring light is nothing.
26:19Can he do the same to Takeshita?
26:22Breaks out.
26:27Vertical drop brain buster.
26:31Takes the kick to the side.
26:33The second one to the side.
26:37Slamming full force to Masada and Higuchi doing the same to Takeshita.
26:46Brutal lariat from Takeshita and Higuchi.
26:50Looking to get.
26:52Sumo's down.
26:53No!
26:54Takeshi!
26:55Counters the Uchikamashi with that phenomenal forearm.
26:59Takeshita!
27:00Takeshita!
27:01Takeshita!
27:02Takeshita!
27:03Takeshita!
27:04Takeshita!
27:05Takeshita!
27:06Takeshita!
27:07Lewis!
27:08Buffer!
27:09Takeshi!
27:10Attempts him.
27:11And Ashley.
27:12Ames!
27:13Got that elevation behind him on that move right there.
27:14Oh!
27:16Masada tries to kick through Takeshita's body.
27:19But Takeshita 찾아.
27:21Herman is fully masters of Memory.
27:24huge blue thunder but Masada gets a kick out
27:39oh raging fire from Masada
27:42who would have seen that coming
27:46perfect timing
27:51looking for that one little opening
27:54and now Hibuchi screaming for Masada to stop him
28:04trying to beat Stink to Takesha and stop him
28:11Takesha just calling him give me more
28:14give me more
28:15telling Masada to bring it on
28:21there's Masada's stamina going to fade
28:28before he can break Takesha down
28:30and that's where the stamina play comes in
28:33elbow pads out
28:37reeling him with that elbow right there
28:43Takesha's elbow will just sound gross
28:47I've always been afraid of Takesha's elbows
28:51and the sound it makes
28:54going with that wakamama knee
28:59Hibuchi breaking out man
29:00like those elbows man
29:02human bones shouldn't be making that kind of sound
29:05Hibuchi makes the save
29:07maybe he should have let Masada stay down
29:12and now on the other hand
29:14Takesha's the one holding Hibuchi back
29:16a shocking turn of events
29:20Takesha's the one playing for the crowd support
