I was watching the NHK BEGIN Japanology documentary on Pro-Wrestling when I came across this particular scene:
I never thought I'd actually see Detective Conan featured in an actual pro-wrestling match, much less being used as a weapon of sorts along with Kindaichi. I kinda freaked out by this unusual scene. It was just so weird.

What company would those 2 be associated with? A big company or some small local promotion?
Although not related to Conan, I did like "Wanna be the Strongest in the World" because they put over wrestling. Anime did not need so much of that T&A stuff though.

This is just a guess, but it looks like it's from DDT (Dramatic Dream Team), an independent pro-wrestling promotion in Japan that is popular because of its unusual matches.
And based on what I've read, this appears to be a 2008 Bookstore Match between Sanshiro Takagi and Kota Ibushi. Still trying to find a video of it, though.
I'm a pro-wrestling fan, and I'm all for a pro-wrestling anime, but the T&A in that series you mentioned just made me stay away from it. That, and the fact that I'm actually looking for a pro-wrestling anime similar to Tiger Mask.
