Keigo & Saku vs Junta & Ulka. Tell me I'm wrong.

That felt like watching a future Dream Gate match at the end there.

Riiita is a bit perfect

I just want to wake up and watch Kato be awful to people like every day

Fujii cannot help but crack a little smile before he hits a rookie really hard across the chest and tbh might be why I love him

Harutoki is a good boy and definitely only going to do good things as Kaito's second. Definitely. Probably. I hope?

It's Christmas Day! I got some Christmas presents, as the last two matches feature the earlies and the longest match I could find! So please enjoy this J2000 match from 2011 and the omnious Mikiya Sasaki vs. Kenichiro Arai 60 Minute Iron Man match in Ringsoul from 2024!

I'm going to be haunted by a pink reindeer and Fujita Christmas. I can feel it.

Club Yanagi's Aki reminds me of a cat with that self satisfied smile. 10/10 would adopt.

Finally I get to go to Club Yanagi

@swalkerddt.bsky.social Did you hear that Mikiya was the hero of Dotonbori at the weekend?

Does AMAKUSA have to keep pulling out stuff from his old personas?!?!! I cry immediately every time 😭

Alejandro's mask 😍

I don't usually do end of year lists because I have a bad memory, keep no records, and am frequently amused by things other people couldn't care less about BUT I'm feeling inspired so, with all those caveats, here's my list of matches I remember that made me feel things in 2025...🧵

I miss Daiki Inaba

Harutoki is justified in being mad at Kaito.

I feel like I've been waiting for Vibes to die for the entire 3 years I've been watching DG, excepting maybe a few months reprieve in the middle there. Not wanting, just waiting, expecting.

If Endo likes a comedy wrestler, he's going to do the most ridiculous bump possible for them in an undercard match.

King of Gate 2025 winner, PSYPATRA’s strong machine who has found his one true place, the mighty Gianni Valletta #DRAGONGATE #wrestlesky

Riiita v Momoka Hanazono Mocchy make it happen

Mochizuki Dojo are putting on a lucharesu clinic! D Ryu Fuda - ステップ式延髄斬り | Step-up enzuigiri Daiki Yanagiuchi - サンセット・フリップ・パワーボム | Sunset-flip powerbomb #DRAGONGATE 🐉 🤼‍♂️

Hiromu and AMAKUSA taking shots at each other about their upcoming matches like I'm not a total sucker for a push and pull dynamic.

AMAKUSA reviving his strong belief... Excuse me while I go scream and throw myself into the sea. I cannot cope with him. I will not. (Look, if he can do self-denial for literally years I can do this)

I've been putting bird videos on to keep the cat quiet in the morning while I make my breakfast and now I feel like a lazy parent.

This guy in the front row at DG Korakuen with the red coat, white jeans and disinterested look really has my attention.

Don't fuck with swans

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Falling for wrestlers through their ShuPro columns is definitely a thing for me now. Too cute!

Just thinking about how Kato made a challenge for a belt that might mean something to ISHIN and did research on who had it currently. Such supportive tag partners yocchan and icchan.

The moment of remembering I can be perceived by the wrestlers I tweet about and their parents

I guess openly supporting molesters rubs off on people then.

On Day 10 we take a closer look on a 6-Man tag in ACF, featuring many of the young Kansai Wrestlers like Harutoki, Matsufusa and Kikuchi, as well as (sadly) now retired Shinji Kamakura! Cool stuff here! swalkers-ddt.blogspot.com/2025/12/adve...

We are now moving into music production on the @TruepennyShow #todayat series with @sherifflonestar.bsky.social & @smarkinfested.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/xA0KG...

Kikuchi using so many words to point out he definitely didn't watch his acquaintance's 'important title match'. Oh no. He doesn't care. Not at all.

I wanted Matsufusa to win. Of course I did, that's my guy. But I want so much for TORU to get his flowers. His understanding of Osaka Pro and what it takes to be a Champion shines through in everything he does. He's the perfect villain, teammate, and leader.

Osaka Pro making me wait until Christmas to see only an hour of this show?!? Guys, you are ruining me here.

Okay I'm back and totally normal about Kaito now

Matsufusa just became Osaka Pro Champion on his FIRST attempt. This is not going to help the hero complex. (Crying I'm so happy)

Little bear! Kaito arranging this match is just so very adorably Kaito.

It has only just occurred to me that Kaito and Kikuchi both had their 10th anniversary this year.

Matsufusa comes out in a Kamen Rider W reference robe and I'm about ready to pass out already. Maybe it's for the best I didn't get to see this live.

Knitting to try to stave off the stress of waiting to find out if Fusa won or lost. It's not exactly working out for the knitting or the anxiety but here we are.

Sad not to be watching the Osaka Pro show live (and slightly bemused they aren't running their biggest show as a ppv) but looks like they didn't have a chance to test out the setup in advance. They sold out and added seats twice and the local market is why they exist so I'm happy for them.

I was going to wait until next Friday, but I got motivated to write it now. So I wrote about my point of view on my favorite wrestler, Yujiro Takahashi, taking the leading role at Purge Night of Torture. #高橋裕二郎 #NJPW #HOUSEOFTORTURE open.substack.com/pub/bigjuice...
