I'm grateful every time they pull back the curtain. Pro wrestlers are absolute warriors. What they do is SO difficult.

Takeshita showed such grace and humility teaching Connor, same with Chris Brookes. What a great representation of the business and the men that dedicate their lives to it.

I love that even the DDT guys looked at Connor's Kermit Butthole costume and thought "That's a bit much, bro." 10/10

As a long time wrestling fan, this was pretty hilarious. Japans wrestling traditions are incredible and DDT has been a game changer for what Wrestling can be. They helped form Kenny Omega and he ended up being one of the best wrestlers on the planet. Thanks for the entertainment Connor. This was a great video.

Crazy how Takeshita just put on one of the best matches I’ve seen with Will Ospreay

This was an amazing experience. Yes, wrestling is scripted, the moves are planned; but the athleticism and pain are very much real. Well done in sticking it out to the end.

Re-word it as "pro-wrestling is scripted", but yeah I can vouch for this. Wrestling on it's own is legit as always.

"That was certainly something to behold." 😁 Good on Connor for trying all these random new things. It takes a lot of guts and most adults don't stray too much out of their niche after a certain point.

DDT is legit my favourite wrestling promotion. I mean they're seen as a comedy promotion and yet they've still produced some of the best talent in the world known today, like Kota Ibushi and Kenny Omega both got their start in DDT. Chris Brookes is also one of my favourite wrestlers currently, seen him live so many times between various British promotions either solo or as a part of CCK.

Watching this back in hindsight, when I got to see Takeshita wrestle on AEW, has been an absolute treat. It looked like Connor was having a lot of fun and I was all smiles during the whole video.

I can’t be the only one who recognised Korakuen Hall before he mentioned it by name because of Hajime No Ippo

Can't believe you got Takeshita on this. He's sincerely on the level of a Kota Ibushi or a Kento Miyahara, a young but highly talented wrestler who belongs in the main event.

"Remember the training!" Then suddenly the protagonist gain all the power One of my favourite episode, I giggled all the way through. Shame it didn't get all the attentions.

This popped up on my recommended. I'm a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGE pro wrestling fan. So glad we have a new wrestling fan. Also it's rare to become a wrestling fan through any company other than WWE, let alone become a fan from watching DDT. Edit 1: After those body slams this man could be a great professional wrestler with proper full training and practice. You defo earned a like and subscribe.

As a wrestling nerd, fuck what an absolute pleasure it was seeing you get trained by Takeshita. He’s absolutely gonna be Okada big in the future if he keeps it up, I’m marking out.

It's refreshing to see Connor do these types of challenges, gets him in shape little by little

This isn't WWE style tho this is puroresu which is a completely different style of wrestling. This is a stronger more harder style than the American style. The American style focuses more on storytelling than in ring stuff compared to Puroresu.

Agreed, though I do not wrestle but as someone who did alot of martial arts in the past watching the masters or the pros up close fighting is very amazing to watch and fun as well.

OMG I LOVED THIS ONE! I am from Mexico and Japanese DDT's wrestling style is soooooooooo similar to Mexican CMLL! The slams, the kicks, the slaps, ropes, costumes, everything! I am now going to watch DDT streams! The freaking match was soooooooooooo much fun!! I loved it! Well done Connor, Chris, Kojima and Takeshi!

Bruh this has got to be ONE of my favorites. It’s gonna be hard to top this. Loved everyone there and the humor they brought. Also omg the absolute PECKS on Takeshita, man.

As someone that trained in pro wrestling and has a great appreciation for it, this was an absolute treat to watch. Kick ass job Connor! I know with your incredibly busy schedule you probably could not fit in too much time, but I hope you go out and watch some more wrestling (or maybe a live show with the other lads). Thank you again for highlighting DDT, and I hope you were able to move a lil the next day (I know I couldn't).

This seriously looked like a lot of fun, Takeshita seems like such a humble and nice dude, I used to watch wrestling all the time but after wwe went into the pg era I got bored but I still have the utmost respect for anyone who puts their body on the line to entertain, Japanese wresting looks crazy but in a good way 👍

DDT is really fun to watch, so is NJPW and NOAH, all three bring something completely different to the table. If you want a great North-American alternative, you should look up AEW, it was co-founded by a guy who made his name in DDT when he was younger, Kenny Omega, known to be one of the best in the world. Takeshita is one of his great buddies and even got a few matches on AEW Dark, their free weekly show on KZread. Enjoy this rabbit hole! It's honestly really fun!

@@SHlNRlKlARU I second everything Jay said NJPW is so fun as is AEW and I highly recommend them both. If you're more into violence you can also check out GCW as well which is a ton of fun for another genre of fans more in line with something like the attitude era of WWE and ECW.

Coming back to say that it's crazy after this video Takeshita came to America and absolutely killed it and made everyone take notice. This time next year he's going to be a huge star.

Really enjoyed this video. DDT guys were very welcoming. A lot of great talent have performed at DDT including Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi. Very happy to see Kenny remember his roots and bring over Takeshita. What a talent he is! Would love to see another pro wrestling vid

I really love the "I tried..." series. That match at the end was hella fun! Not bad for an amateur, though I have to say you are a natural at commentating (though that shouldn't be a suprise). Can't wait for a match of new best christ vs. old chris. Or Joey vs Grant followed by Aki vs Sydsnap! PS: I half expected you to come in full on iron mouse cosplay for that match lol

American here! I’ve always seen WWE wrestling when I was growing up, and I always thought that it was cheesy and lame. This video shed a new light on the insane amount of skill and acumen that you’d have to have to be able to do this type of work. I totally understand why Japan sees it as a sport, and not just entertainment. These dudes are truly dedicated to the work, effort, time, and bodily damage that the sport entails. Thanks for another awesome vid yet again, Connor!
