Doodle Edition:

Giulia finally has a match on SmackDown. She will face Blake Monroe two months after being attacked by her. Such timely booking!
IYO wasn't on Raw again.
Kairi appears to have signed with AEW but hasn't made her debut yet. In a Ring Plus interview Kairi said she hasn't yet decided on what she'll do. We'll just have to wait and see.
Asuka is hanging out with her puppy Big Boss and regularly posting about him. Asuka has been uploading more videos to KanaChanTV and is currently doing a playthrough of Resident Evil 7.
Asuka is on hiatus due to personal reasons, but nobody knows for certain what the future holds for the Empress of Tomorrow.
Giulia deserves better.
Sareee is carrying on the spirit of Inoki.
Sareee announced two new Sareee-ISM shows. Chapter XI on 8/24 and Chapter XII on 9/26.
Sareee will be in the main event of the final show of the Shinjuku FACE venue on 9/30.
Meiko is leading Sendai Girls.
Xia and Wendy posting is fine; they're just not officially part of the Klub.

Wrestling is holding wrestling shows back from being entertaining.

Most people tune out during matches because we've seen it all before. Everything has already been done, and nothing can surprise anyone anymore. There should be fewer matches and more promos and crazy backstage segments. Or not even just backstage, but anywhere. Each show should only have one or two matches at most, with the rest filled with entertaining drama that builds up stories and feuds leading into those matches.

People just want to see crazy characters interacting with each other on a live show. Hell, let's see two wrestlers have a street race where one crashes and dies, only to return as a demented, evil version of himself on next week's show. Or let's have a segment where an NXT talent walks in on CM Punk breeding multiple wrestlers. Or maybe a segment where LA Knight busts into Paul's office demanding a title shot, but since Paul isn't there, he puts a gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger, only for the gun to jam, making him realize it's a sign to botch less.

>but just watch a normal TV show then
No that's not the point. Pro wrestling shows have a unique live format that they could use to their benefit. There would be no other TV shows like it.

The possibilities are endless.
Enough with these boring ass, storyless matches that no one gives a fuck about. Let's get some raunchy, shocking drama that makes people want to see what happens next after every episode.

tl;dr: Wrestling is the least important part of a wrestling show

>Also it was produced by established TV writers and producers so it makes sense desu
I mean WWE has employed those for decades and it's still shit.

Pretty sure LU was mainly booked by the fat guy who was caned by Sandman in ECW and he seems to get wrestling.
>>
Biggest problem with this is that it would make the few matches they have even shittier.
Wrestling is a skill. It takes constant practice, even when you're good at it. Wrestlers need to be frequently working in front of live crowds because that will always be different than working in a training ring at a gym.
You might not like the Japanese format of shows or even the Japanese style of wrestling, but part of why they tend to be more impressive is that they constantly get their reps by doing multiple shows and matches a week. "Sawdusting" only begins to be involved when those matches are high intensity - you obviously want to avoid that by keeping the matches short, low stakes, and with multiple people in them. But the point is that everyone is continually practicing in front of live crowds and getting a feel for one another as well as each other's strengths and weaknesses.
You wouldn't get that with just a couple matches a week, with some members of the roster potentially going months between being in front of people.

Pro wrestling as an entertainment medium has outgrown the actual wrestling matches, I agree, but what could they be replaced with while still maintaining the same level of drama and other entertainment aspects? Maybe some sort of tabletop roleplaying game?

Not really. WWE has had some people with TV experience but no well known established writers.

Too much of a fan of wrestling and no credible writing. Wrestling actually needs good TV writers that have worked on movies and shows with good writing.

>[NOAH] Fujita Kazuyuki fired up by his children’s great achievements — three siblings compete at Inter-High: “I have to win the N-1 too.”

>NOAH’s “Beast,” Fujita Kazuyuki (55), has been filled with fighting spirit, pushed forward by the outstanding efforts of his children.

>At the Culttz Kawasaki show on the 23rd, Fujita will team with Yoshiki Inamura to challenge GHC Tag Team Champions Soya Manabu & Iino Yuki. He has also been entered in the singles league tournament “N-1 VICTORY 2026,” which begins in September.

>Facing a midsummer packed with fierce battles, Fujita clenched his large fist and said, “When I see my children, I think, ‘I have to work hard too.’ I have to put food on the table.” At the National High School Sports Festival, or Inter-High, wrestling competition held in Wakayama in July, his eldest daughter, Mahiru, a third-year student; his eldest son, Mihaku, a second-year student; and his second daughter, Murasaki, a first-year student, all competed together as siblings. Mahiru achieved the great feat of winning the tournament for the third consecutive time, while Murasaki also placed third.
>>
>>21033939
>Fujita, who cheered them on in person, softened his expression and said, “They’re really doing it freely and enjoying themselves. There isn’t a parent who wouldn’t be happy to see their children work hard.” Going forward too, he intends to support them, saying, “I just want them to do what they like and go as far as they want to go.” As for Mahiru, who is preparing to enter university next year, he nodded and said, “The Olympics? There are strong people in the same weight class, 76 kilograms. More than anything, I just want her to do it the way she wants.”

>With that in mind, he declared enthusiastically, “I have to win the N-1 too.” On teaming with Inamura, he grinned and said, “Sounds good, doesn’t it? He’s big.” When they had a singles match in July, Fujita was hit with a powerful powerbomb and pinned for the three-count, but he said excitedly, “Being thrown that far was the biggest shock since Scott Norton. It felt good… That’s why I’m really looking forward to it.”

>With his children’s momentum at his back, can he capture his first tag team championship?

Fake fighting has no stakes without a program, and is therefore just masturbation. Promos, segments, and angles give context for the matches. You can, on occasion, throw out heatless bangers but the guys either have to already be over, or supremely good in the ring (talking Benoit and Angle, or Bret and Mr. Perfect).

hechicero clearly should have won tonight, nigel can just be in the casino gauntlet if they want him at wembley. he absolutely should not win the title from moxley.
tony fumbled the shit out of this bracket, none of the remaining competitors are good choices for mox at wembley. final four should've been like mox, jay, hechicero, shibata.
cannot believe i'm rooting for eddie (but i want to see him lose). or even OC for fucks sake but i know he's counting the lights for scott malkinson. mox vs claudio is the most kino option left but they're not running that.
