| 2 | 27.07.2025 | Rated-Spear | 7.0 | Dragon Gate's Kobe Pro-Wrestling Festival 2025 ist schon jetzt zu den besten Großveranstaltungen der Promotion seit Jahren zu zählen. Opener gleich einmal richtig knackig, **1/4. Trotz lediglich drei Minuten mein klarer Favorit der dargebotenen Undercard; Mochizuki Dojo, und allen voran Akihiro Sahara, mit einer prägnanten Vorstellung. Ultimo Dragon's Multi Man Tag und der GAORA TV Titelkampf in Form vom Five Way offensichtlicher Filler zum Zeitvertreib in Richtung der Midcard, *1/2 bzw. *3/4 im Fall von Takashi's Titelverteidigung. J vs. Kikuta im No Disqualification Match hat ein bisschen gebraucht um warm zu werden, hat sich mit fortlaufender Zeit jedoch gesteigert, Finish in Form vom Ringrichterentscheid allerdings ziemlich unbefriedigend, **3/4. U-T vs. Tanaka und New Japan's Hoheitsbesuch wussten mich anschließend jedoch positiv gesinnt zurückholen, *** bzw. ***1/4 im Fall von Hiroshi Tanahashi's erst zweitem Ausflug zu Dragon Gate. Z-Brats vs. Love And Peace im späteren Semi Main Event ließ sich ähnlich dem Brave Gate Titelkampf angenehm wegschauen; Jason Lee hat den Funken trotz einmal mehr engagierter Performance allerdings auch nicht zum überspringen bekommen, *** erneut. Z-Brats' Triangle Gate Titelverlust an Team México im drittletzten Match und der Main Event konnten diesen Funken letztendlich aber überspringen lassen, ***1/2 bei ansteigender Tendenz bzw. ***3/4 im Fall vom Dream Gate Titelkampf. Team México's Triumph überraschend, Match dazu in all seinen Facetten erwartungsgemäß flashy. YAMATO's Titelverlust nicht ganz so unerwartet, Matchführung dagegen unorthodox; Shun Skywalker mit einer seiner besten Performances seit langem, selbst ich bin gegen Ende tief eingetaucht und ließ mich nur noch unterhalten. Madoka Kikuta's Turn abschließend ein durchaus interessanter Aufhänger, nachdem Skywalker nun seit Jahren in einer Heel-Persona rumrannte. |

| 8 | 19.07.2025 | PineTreeFresh | 9.0 | A much stronger Kobe than last year's. The opening 6 man was fun and set the energy level high. The next two matches were goofy fun, with elastics being snapped into faces and AJPW's Takashi eating the scenery and being adored for it. The Kikuta/ Strong Machine J fight was okay, but I find that non-DQs and blood don't really fit into the current DragonGate. I suppose it showed how dark Kikuta has become, but there were a lot of kids in the audience. The tag team with Tanahashi/ Dragon Kid versus D'Courage was heartwarming, and a bit legendary for its final moments. The Open The Triangle Gate and Twin Gate matches were simply superb. The Open The Dream Gate match was fine, but a slowdown from the previous two. The action/recovery cycle was evident, but speed and energy escalated again for a good finish. The DG lore took a swerve here, which was wonderful, setting up new storylines. A great card overall. |
| 9 | 18.07.2025 | Galdr | 8.0 | Kobe Pro-Wrestling Festival 2025 was a good event with some solid matches, but nothing individually was earth-shattering. The first thee matches were disposable, but everything following those was at least decent. The main event was certainly the highlight of the show with Shun winning the title, but I thought the match was slightly underwhelming when factoring in the effusive praise its been getting. |
| 10 | 16.07.2025 | sprint171 | 9.0 | Very good event, a lot of things I was interested in and I rated it high. I am glad that Shun won his title once again |
| 11 | 14.07.2025 | Mohabrok | 10.0 | last three years of Kobe World all were big hits from DRAGONGATE but this year it felt more special because with this number of talents debuting and improving quickly DG right now has a roster with depth. We are really going to see a lot of special shows next couple of years with this great roster. |
| 12 | 14.07.2025 | relentlessET | 9.0 | After the GAORA TV title match, Kobe World was firing in all cylinders, building and solidifying new stars as well as having incredible matches and completing story arcs, while starting new ones like a new season of Dragongate. Compared to last year, this is the better Kobe World show with very interesting twists and plot continuations. |
