Since It’s a new month and year, I’m curious to see how the promotions did for December, and all of 2024.
>>16607749>NOAH>1/2 New Year Reboot @ 6:30pm JSTthe ABEMA stream is region locked and NOAH's English account hasn't announced an alternative so hopefully they're not retarded and there's a way to watch this outside of Japanhttps://abema.tv/channels/fighting-sports/slots/EX4EM7m6k5D9WF
2025 is our year, Aoyagichads.
>>16607800Nah his reign stunk it up
Noah show been posted anywhere yet?
2025 is our year GOK Chads
So did Jun Saito really win the belt on accident? That's hilarious if it comes out to be true.
>>16607818Just checked my usual sites and nothing yet. I would expect it up in 2-4 hours.
>>16607824sure looks like it
>>16607800Dude got his reign clipped twice and will probably be the #3 option behind Anzai and Miyahara. The company seems to believe very little in him.
>>16607848he's not even Triple crown material. Dude's a goofy ahh midcarder that was only made champion cause they got no one else at that time
>>16607839what's the most reliable site for NOAH shows?
>>16607840I can't tell if Davey hit his head or not. Maybe he got concussed.
>>16607749>1/11 Korakuen @ 6:30pm JSTOzawa vs Kenoh
>mfw I get the chicken dinner
>>16607933I usually find the shows on youku or VK video. The former being more reliable.
Ozawa made history winning the GHC Heavyweight title. He broke Kiyomiya’s record from debut to World champion. IWGP remains Nakamura, and Anzai almost beat Ryota Hama’s record for the Triple Crown.
>>16608410Ah okay. I was thinking one of the many watchwrestling variations.
...
>>16609035
>>16609021How many times does Endo need to be made a bitch until people realize how full of bitches DDT really is
>>16609021does anyone have the webm of nakajima slapping kotoge
>>16608429The Ozawa/Naito crossover will be hilarious
>>16609361
>>16608429this is so goddamn clean it looks like a movie effect
>>16609824
>>16609894The Japanese are adorable in their honestyWouldn’t call this racist at all
>AJPW1/2 Korakuen @ 11:30am JST
>>16610225>11:30am JSTthat's 9:30pm EST / 6:30pm PST practically a regular tv time slot
Is there a card for the NOAH show tomorrow?
>and you could have it all...>my empire of dirt...https://x.com/Katsuhiko_N311/status/1741812817777578155/photo/1
>>16611060i think it's announced at the show like NJPW does with New Year Dash
>>16611060these new years shows have monday magic tier booking
>>16611179JUST
AJPW lobby openhttps://www.ajpw.tv/lives/5af5952f-ee92-45ad-bd2f-97e6df2542ac
packed
>>16611179The Inoki Curse did more damage to him than it did to Tony R. Khan.
Hideki Suzuki apparently signed with AJPW
>>16613235>Inoki’s guys are more active in NJPW’s rival companiesFate is a funny thing
>>16613235He had been there for at least a year now
>>16613147>The building is full of either females of all ages or old menWhere is the young male demographic?
>>16613539Juria isn’t married (and she’s still virgin)
>>16613235https://x.com/alljapan_pw/status/1874653477571645534
cute kentomaniacs
Where the hell can you watch NOAH: The New Year 2025? Im not in the US and the only purchase link isnt available in my region apparently. Also cant find this shit on any of the seas. Where are we watching the replay from?
>>16611179>He’s still using Inoki’s name for attentionGrim shit.
>>16613765Just checked my usual sites and it’s still not up
>>16614363that was posted 1 year ago and he doesn't use the inoki / toukon style merch due to a cease & desist
>>16613539suzuki is married, yes. idk to who but i know because thatcher talked about their families hanging out when they were coaches at the WWE performance centers
BJW did 1,036 for their King of Deathmatch show.
>>16614812what a grim lineup. Where are all the Japanese deathmatch wrestlers.
>>16614812Any NJPW wrestlers, old or current, wrestled in BJW before?
New Year Reboot is live but the stream is region locked https://abema.tv/now-on-air/fighting-sports
OMOS MORRIS X vs GALENO WAGNER HUXLEY
>>16615229It's been a beyond grim state of affairs for years. Even before COVID they lost a lot of steam, but the pandemic battered them and are now relying on the absolute dirt worst fucking picks for foreign wrestler imaginable
Tetsuya Endo is joining NOAH
Hey, it's the guy from earlier
>>16615643they'll put it up as a VOD tomorrow morninghttps://x.com/noahglobal/status/1874757540523000184So stupid that they got Nakamura to get American eyes on the product, had a hot angle in Ozawa that fans might actually want to check out, then the follow-up show deliberately doesn't stream on the service they're trying to get people to pay for.
>>16614812>>16615229Also, they of course lied
Title match
That was an eventful show
>>16615550Honma.
>AJPW 1/3 Korakuen @ 11:30am JST
Gonna miss my nigga Wagner Jr the best NOAH wrestler for the past 2. You just know he's gonna end up in Nu Jamal or WWE
NOAH fans realized that Nakajima has been totally excommunicado and given the Chris Benoit treatment, completely being removed from the Champions Rollcall despite being a 2x GHC champion. Nigga basically being blackballed from the industry and only GLEAT will take him in. GRIM https://x.com/new_voyage0217/status/1874693531031491070
>>16616610He won’t be in NJPW unless he also signs with CMLL
>>16607783For December (includes only promotions that claimed >1,000 total attendance):>1. NJPW: 14,888 (includes 2,435 from 1 U.S. show. 12 shows, 1,240 avg)>2.

All Kyushu Pro shows are free admission)>Osaka Pro: 1,685 (1 show)>Michinoku Pro: 1,105 (3 shows, 2 w/o reported attendance)
>>16616781Nakajima was mentioned a couple times on the English broadcast for New Year. They wouldn't say Elgin's name though, he got the "person who won't be named" treatment.
>>16616827English commentary team is non cannon. You or me could even do that shit for free and say whatever we like
>>16616827It popped me that Elgin is off limits but suspected rapist Lesnar is ok
>>16616903Not sure why that would matter when1. That’s NJPW not NOAH&2. Confirmed murderer Sasaki is noted
>>16616781very GRIM
>>16616781Turns out being an insufferable prick while not being a draw is nor a recipe for success
speak of the devilhttps://x.com/AkiraMaedaWORLD/status/1874778280525734237
>>16616819kek NOAH sucks so much these days
Will Kwabo Kiyomiya ever recover from being made to look like a bitch for like 4 years?
>>16618262No. His one hope was pulling a Naito and becoming a heel bitter over his failed face run but now Ozawa stole that from him.
>>16617142this nigga's mind is gone.
Kaito anti replying to himself
Tadasuke cashed in his battle royal victory by losing in a National title match to Soya
>>16616819So, GLEAT is definitely a money laundering scheme
kek
Jun vs Davey for the triple crown was trash.
>>16618938I just learned that gleat has somehow been around since at least 2021
>>16618959Is that taniguchi? I remember that batch of trainees. Pretty grim.
New Year Reboot will be up on WU at 10am JST (4 1/2 hours from now)https://www.wrestle-universe.com/en/videos/fQXGUGBFDFMHjcZGD9P6b9
>>16618998Thanks for the analysis, tripfag.
>>16618959Misawa lmao
>>16618938Definitely. No promotion can survive on YouTube super chats.
>>16616819What’s the total for 2024?
>>16618959Misawa with the sensible chuckle and thumbs up is going to have me use this repeatedly
>>16619206they put it up early it's live now
>>16621193Dump finally got her boyfriend
>>16616517startinghttps://www.ajpw.tv/lives/12af2041-04c5-4ab2-9b65-2dba7ea3233c
>>16621588based
packed again
>>16621646Thank you for drawing the house Davey Boy
Here for Anzai/Ashino
Abe/Aoyagi was great
hope DBS fucks up again and Kumaarashi gets a pin
>>16621698it's time baby
Anzai leakin
>>16622308
That powerbomb earlier was nasty. He was definitely knocked out
Webm bro - I'm going to need that final stretch collected, especially the powerbomb that legit KO'd Anzai.
MOTY so farI liked that more than Kaito/Ozawa
semi cursed match due to beardless rei and suzuki ass
Anzai is alive
Saito Showdown then winner faces AnzaiAll Japan is back baby
All japan and noah both off to hot starts. Hopefully they can both actually sustain it
NOAH The New Year is up on the Archive.
wtf
>>16622586you can take the man out of DDT you can't take the DDT out of the man
Stopped watching rasslin of all kinds around august or so cause I got real bored by everything. NJPW was just boring me to tears and the G1 was awful, the N1 wasn't very exciting and I was getting bored with everything and it was sad seeing how the veterans just couldn't cut it in 2024 and AJPW just never clicked as much as it should have and I don't even dislike Aoyagi and thought it was the right time for Anzai to drop it but I stopped around that time. After catching up with their new years shows I just gotta say lolNJPW continues to be terrible and boringNOAH got Homos and Yoshitatsu? the fuck? I was not expecting Ozawa to be that guy though lolAnd AJPW seriously but the strap on Davey Boy Smith Jr? Jesus...Thank you for reading my blogpost, I think I'm gonna be quitting this semen slurping pseudo-sport if not at least taking a break from it for a few years. Smells stale.
>>16622310AYO HAYATOPASS A FUCKIN NAPKIN ESSE
>>16622600good riddance
>>16622867Yeah, I know. This shit eats up a lot of my time. I kinda missed shitposting on /pw/ though, no matter how bad my day is the sheer stupidity I read here on a daily basis always makes me smile. Y'all are funny as hell.
Kouki was looking like a snack on the NOAH commentary and yet nobody blessed the thread with pictures.
>>16622600i skipped out on most of last year only watching a select few matches
>>16622975>womenwe don't do that here
>>16617142>He's still doing the Inoki gimmickHoly kek
>>16623041Get with the times, gramps. All the promotions are doing it now.
how this nigga see

I'd like to have another singles match with him someday.https://x.com/anzai_AJPW/status/1875103745803227314

>>16625010who the fuck is that?
>>16624206Ashino felt the unfathomable power of Anzaihttps://x.com/ashinoshotaro/status/1875145870548861007
>>16625039Senior Vice President from their Business Strategy department.
Ozawa vs Kenoh on 1/11 is non-title
>>16625221Bizarre times.
>>16623766I hope Omos and Fujita do a tag team down the road. Probably unlikely, though.
Why are you dorks pretending to like Homos? Serious answers please.
>>16626175omos vs slender man is the match
>>16623510Not sure any promotion in the world building around younger, or in Jun's case new, talent faster than AJPW. They're really going hard with it compared to everyone else.
>>16626210>Homosi don't watch DDT though
>>1662376622 years ago that would have been a Tokyo Dome main event.
>>16626210Because of the WWE affiliation, simple as that
>>16626509I just like tall players.
>>16626497Something like hat happened 30 years ago, but it wasn’t in the main event.https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xcbxlp
>>16626490They are smart at pacing shows and spacing out events too, which is why their average attendance has grown constantly over the last year. They do need 1-2 other guys that can be in the mix constantly, because Ayabe is not talented enough and Anzai needs a proper generational rival.
>>16626210I'm a big-ass fetishist
>>16626588I do like that partnership with HAYATO though.
>>16626588Their roster is a bit thin and their production values are low but overall they did great at pulling themselves out of the mud. If they could poach at least 2 guys but ideally 4 they could really soar considering the current state of japanese pro wrestling.
>>16627275He is far from the answer, but BIG BOSS Shimizu is hanging out to dry currently, not welcome back in Dragongate and not allowed to join GLEAT as planned. He's only 32, so older than Aoyagi but younger than Miyahara. If nothing else he gives you relatively young depth and instant recognition among fans.
chinks finally uploaded the NOAH show so i checked it outwagner/ wagner, kenoh/ kenta, manabu/ kitamiya, kaito/ ozawa were all great. i feel like manabu kitamiya deserves some more praise. also the 1 minute match between fujita and the rookie was good
https://x.com/0109samurai/status/1875211090503848178
>>16627855>wagner/ wagner0 chemistry, slow, sloppy>kenoh/ kentaKenta moves like he looks, awful and Kenoh was made to look like a geek.Agreed with the rest
still crazy that Kenoh lost to old KENTAeven NJPW knew it was time to pull KENTA from the G1 lineup last year
>>16628077Not only did he lose to bitchtits but he lost while begging him to "come home". Looked like a geek.
>>16628211That was hilarious. Kenta reacted like "nah nigga I'm gonna keep making this Bushiroad money for two tours a year"
>>16623505>>16623510Hashimoto lost weight?
in the Anzai/Ashino match I thought he was KO'd by the same strike that drew the blood but watching again it looks like he was KO'd by the suplex outside the ring and then a few minutes later Ashino busted his nose during the elbow strike exchange?
>>16629326Was he not KO'd by the powerbomb?
>>16629442watching live I thought it was selling but on rewatch I think he's out on his feet three times >suplex outside the ring>Ashino sweeps the leg from the top turnbuckle, lands hard>elbow strike busts his noseand then completely out after the power bomb when Ashino blatantly pulls him up from the pin
>>16629326>>16629442I also think it was the power bomb based on how Anzai's head bounced on the ring
>>16627930based move from Ashino
>>16626591
Kinda crazy that tjpw of all companies has that prime pre WK Korakuen spot locked up
>>16633701It was an AJW tradition that Takagi took and gave to TJPW. They've had that spot since 2016
>>16625010Japan is savedhttps://x.com/ddtpro/status/1875430526162760069
>>16633701I didn't know that korakuen is near the Tokyo Dome.
