DEATHMATCH ROYALTY EPISODE THREE - The ACE of New Japan enters the Deathmatch world: Chapter 1

On this episode of DEATHMATCH ROYALTY myself and the Doc Lariat are joined by two guests - the Tunnels Guy and Almots Graps (who you can find on Twitter/X as Almotsgraps) as we discuss the Ace of New Japan Hiroshi Tanahashi teaming up with the CRAZY MONKEY and one of the Pillars of Deathmatch: Jun Kasai in Jun’s home promotion of FREEDOMS.This also has pride of place as being the most modern match on the pod so far at the time of posting as it took place in November 2025 and while it’s more a straight forward tag match - just the sight of Tanahashi being in Freedoms was enough to count and for those that don’t know Jun this is a showcase of him as a whole before we REALLY get into his career in 2026!As per you can watch along with our commentary (which right now is the only commentary you’ll have for this match ANYWHERE!):Now I know you may be wondering why Chapter 1? Chapter 2 sees the Ace go full DEATHMATCH against KENTA at the hallowed Tokyo Dome but THAT is for another day… This is a public episode.
