>Fluorescent Lights to Be Banned by End of 2027: Government Revises Ordinance to Regulate Mercury
>On December 24, the Japanese government approved a cabinet decision to revise regulations, banning the production, export, and import of all general-purpose fluorescent lights by the end of 2027. This measure aligns with agreements made at the Conference of the Parties to the Minamata Convention on Mercury, which aims to comprehensively regulate mercury, the cause of Minamata disease. The ban will be implemented in phases, targeting different types of fluorescent lights, and will also include mercury-containing button batteries. The revised ordinance will come into effect progressively starting January 2026.

NJPW had a personal trainer who gives comments on the contestant’s physiques https://www.njpw.co.jp/546217/
Tanahashi
>I can feel the muscle that Tanahashi has built up over his long training life, and the shape when he faces forward and the thickness of his body when he faces sideways are emphasized by the overlapping rings of muscle. He himself knows his favorite poses and is able to show them off well. Tanahashi is probably the type of person who does not gain body fat easily on his arms and back, but on the other hand, it is easy for it to accumulate on his stomach.
>I supported him with his physical transformation for several months this year. Since then, I think he has continued to do aerobic exercise, walks, and dietary restrictions to a certain extent despite his busy schedule, so I would say that he is not as good as I thought he would be. There are no gaps in his poses when he faces his back or sideways. I hope that he will improve these areas and use these four photos as a starting point to aim for the next Concurso in 2025.

Dragon Kid
>Dragon Kid is the same age as Tanahashi, but this is what he's got. It's pretty amazing. At first glance, you can see the muscles around his chest and the thickness of his back. Weight training is said to be a 'sport of rings'. Every year, you build up muscle by training over and over again, layer by layer. You can really feel those 'rings of muscle'.
>Young, firm muscles are good, but you can also see the 'maturity' of older, more experienced fighters in a good way. His muscles are deep and don't show his age, and there's almost no excess fat in any part of his body. I think he's got the physique he's looking for, able to jump and move, and has a lot of stamina."

Pro Wrestling ZERO1 change parent companies, forms ZERO1 HARD CORE. Tochigi Pro become their own promotion.

In 2024, ZERO1 was split between REAL ZERO1 and Tochigi Pro Wrestling and they were no ZERO1 show since the Tanaka Anniversary show.
In 2025, they will leave their current parent company (Daiko Holdings) and restart under a new parent (Studio Backdrop). The parent company does professional sports photos.
The company now has new colors (Blue), and their slogan is "Destruction, Creation and (Re?) Birth".
They chose Blue because it represents the challengers, and they feel like they are challengers so here it is (Pic. 1).

Masato Tanaka, who has an history with FMW/ECW and Hardcore wrestling, wanted to challenge himself : he would like to create a new brand called ZERO1 HARD CORE (Pic. 2).
This Brand will focus on Hardcore wrestling (including Deathmatches) in ZERO1.
People would have to come forward themselves, whether it is current Hardcore wrestlers or overseas legends. He knows there's still active former ECW Wrestlers and formally invites them to wrestle in his brand.
He would also like to produce a ZERO1 HARD CORE show at the legendary Kawasaki Stadium in 2025.

The confirmed wrestlers for ZERO1 are Takuya Sugawara, Yoshikazu Yokoyama, Chris Vice, Hide Kubota & Yasu Kubota.

Reporters had questions about the lack of ZERO1 shows in 2024 :
Tanaka answered :
I guess I ran out of energy to hold the show. I think it's understandable that people would think that way, but the frustration that has been building up ever since has been building up, and I'm hoping that I can release it in the new place starting in February. I hope that people will look forward to that.

Will ZERO1 HARD CORE be at all shows?
Tanaka :
Not at all shows. Even in a show called ZERO1 HARD CORE, not all matches are hardcore. Of course, there will be times when I have a hardcore match, and Yokoyama, who hadn't had anything like it before, might take part in a hardcore match, and Chris was covered in scars from a death match somewhere, so Chris might also take part in that kind of fight. Nowadays, social media and things like that are developing, so it's not like there are strong opponents that we haven't seen yet, but I don't think that kind of opponent will be born yet. This year, I went overseas quite a bit and saw a lot of different wrestlers, and there were some that I hadn't seen yet, and there were some that I thought were amazing, so I hope that those wrestlers will come and join.

What will happen to your relationship with Tochigi Pro Wrestling?
Megumi Kudo :
First of all, I'd like to thank Representative Usui (Shintaro) for his support of Tochigi Pro Wrestling. I don't think there has been an opportunity to talk in detail to fans about the relationship between ZERO1 and Tochigi Pro Wrestling until now, so I think there were some parts that the fans were confused or didn't understand, but this time, by launching the new ZERO1, I think Tochigi Pro Wrestling will be established in local activities and you will really see their hard work, so we will be competing with each other in a good way as our own new ZERO1. To put it clearly, we will be in the form of a separate organization.

Will there be any interactions other wrestlers in the future?
Kudo :
Right now, we have to establish a new ZERO1 with new members, so we are thinking of concentrating on that first. This may be a misleading way of putting it, but we will establish our own organization in the form of another organization, spread the new ZERO1 to many people, establish it, and have everyone see the new ZERO1.

Korakuen Hall is not on the announced dates, are there any plans to hold one in the future?
Kudo :
Korakuen Hall is the holy ground of professional wrestling, so I think it is necessary for wrestlers to wrestle there. However, first of all, one thing at a time... Since Tanaka's show, we have not been active, but this time we have received support from Studio Backdrop Co., Ltd., and we are very happy to be able to set a schedule for this year, which is a new step. As we are challengers, we will steadily move forward towards our goals one by one, so we will do Korakuen Hall. However, for now we will do our best towards the tournaments we are participating in.

What is your relationship with Daiko ZERO1?
Kudo :
The contract has been completed, so everything will really start from scratch as ZERO1 will be a new start.

There will also be a Women's division in Zero1.

>On the 28th, All Japan Pro Wrestling held a press conference in Tokyo for "Zennichi New Year's Eve 2024" (31st, Yoyogi Second Gymnasium), which was open to fans.

>Champion Davey Boy Smith Jr. and challenger Jun Saito, who will be fighting in the main event for the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship, took to the stage.

>Jun announced that he would "make the royal road mat even more exciting," and vowed, "To do that, I'll take the belt away from the strong champion and lead All Japan Pro Wrestling," sending a message to fans to "follow me," and provoking the champion by saying, "Davey Boy Smith Jr. DOOM!"

>Jun stated that this will be his second attempt at the Triple Crown since challenging Katsuhiko Nakajima in February of this year, and said, "I'm more confident now. That will help me and lead to results." He has defended the World Tag Team Championship six times with his brother Ray, but said, "Neither my brother nor I have had any success as singles. If we can become the Triple Crown, we can go even higher in the best possible way."

>Smith revealed that becoming a Triple Crown champion "gives me even more of a sense of responsibility and a stronger fire to fight." And ahead of his first defense, he said, "I studied Dory Funk Jr.'s old matches," revealing that he has mastered the elbow pat that was the legendary champion's specialty. He vowed to "finish it off with 'I Love All Japan Pro Wrestling,' not 'DOOM!'"

How is Dragon Gate as a streaming service? Been thinking about checking them out for a while.
>>
>>16574822
Two immediate thoughts:
Z-Brats Gifu trio is based
&
I understand it’s more East than West but no one in Japan calls Hokkaido anything but the North
>>
>>16545715
Who cares?Why would anyone still watch that fed without CIMA,tozawa,shingo and yoshino?
>>
>>16576253
>CIMA
>Tozawa
why would anyone want to watch those traitors
>>
sending Kiyomiya to Nigeria would be funnier then sending Omos to Japan
>>
>>16575715
Pretty meh desu, the fact that its run by GAORA means that it will likely never be up to the quality of other puro streaming services.
For checking out Dragongate I recommend

>The Network's youtube channel. Where they livestream the first match of each of their shows
https://www.youtube.com/@DRAGONGATEofficial/streams

>GAORA's youtube channel, usually uploads some DG matches (might be clipped for tv)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9GbOLsWy6qKk1JvDpKqpM0KuWk4jCLgg
>>
>>16576293
A lot of people wanted considering how their attendances went to shit after they left
>>
>>16576359
>Believed DG's early attendance records
>They've vastly cut back on lying about attendance since CIMA left
>>
>>16576359
Still #2 in attendance motherfucker
>>
I'm looking forward to Omos in NOAH unironically
>>
>>16576720
i hope he stays for a while, he's gotta fight Fujita
>>
>>16576316
Thanks anon

Fukuda: As we were walking a tightrope with our finances, we received an offer from a certain organization through the mastermind to work together. Unfortunately, we cannot reveal the name of the organization or the details of the negotiations due to a non-disclosure agreement. As we were on the verge of bankruptcy, we thought this was a godsend and continued negotiating, and we almost reached an agreement. However, when it came time to announce the deal on a certain date, the owner of the company suddenly decided to sell his shares, and the talks came to a halt.
>>
>>16578303
Vince was going to buy All Japan?
>>
>>16578430
It's confirmed that the mastermind is Simon Inoki though it's kinda weird for Vince to want ajpw since it was not his idea to do the nxt japan.
>>
>>16576720
isn't he unironically a shitter?
>>
>>16578531
An Inoki buying Baba’s promotion would be weird

>On September 18, 2022, a '50th Anniversary Commemorative Event' was held at the Nippon Budokan, drawing an audience of 4,780 people (as announced by the organizers).
>Fukuda: Even the seemingly successful 50th Anniversary Commemorative Event ended up in the red. Employees told me, 'We’d like a bonus,' but we didn’t have the means to provide one. Recently, there was talk about unpaid wages in a certain organization. It’s something that shouldn’t happen, but it’s a story you often hear in this industry. All Japan Pro Wrestling was on the verge of that as well, so it’s not just someone else’s problem.
Interesting. If not even a relatively good number like that was enough to be profitable then it's no surprise that barely anyone runs the Budokan now
>>
>>16581291
Who wasn’t paying their talent? A joshi promotion?
>>
>>16581487
Might be Ice Ribbon since that was a recent issue
>>
>>16581291
Man, that period of All Japan was rough to get through. The aftermath of this show was a good thing. Not because the show was good, but the overhaul they went through.
