One-Off: Bandido vs Konosuke Takeshita (ROH Supercard of Honor 2025)
Another single match that I very much want to watch, on a 4-hour show I just don’t have the time to sit through. Did this before for the Jacy Jayne NXT title win, I’m sure it’ll come up again.
Bandido vs Konosuke Takeshita
ROH Supercard of Honor
July 11, 2025 - Arlington, TX
Back to the House of Hologram! Takeshita does have Don Callis with him. Bandido’s big match entrance gear is sick as hell. Bandido offers the Code of Honor, Takeshita slaps but doesn’t shake. A partial observance!
Takeshita a lot bigger than Bandido, but we know Bandido is crazy strong, too, and will have a speed advantage, though Takeshita is anything but slow himself. Takeshita working an early cravat, they’re feeling it out with the stand-up technique in the opening moments, into a tease that the match is set to speed up, and then they both do a little pose.
“You know a great way to get into the head of a luchador?” Callis asks. “Take his mask off. They hate that.”
“Well,” Caprice Coleman replies, “you’re not wrong.”
