>>19304649is this the first time Shun is unmasked?
>[New Japan Shun Skywalker loses to EVIL >Attempt to form an alliance including NOAH’s OZAWA collapses>NJPW’s villainous unit House of Torture held a special event where Dragongate’s Shun Skywalker was “purged” by EVIL.>The event was held under EVIL’s theme of “purging.” Match order was announced on the day, and in a surprise, EVIL and Shun appeared in the first match. The crowd buzzed.>Before the bell, Shun took the mic and asked EVIL: “Do you know the ‘Three Great Justices of Japanese Pro Wrestling’?” >“In this pro-wrestling world overflowing with pretty words, there are those who continue to uphold true justice. EVIL, you’re one of the Three Great Justices. EVIL, Shun Skywalker… and the third is OZAWA (NOAH).”>Shun is currently aligned with OZAWA and called for forming a united front including EVIL. “This is my proposal. I want you to make the right decision,” he said, extending his hand. However, EVIL attempted to grab him and go for a modified osotogari. Negotiations collapsed; no cross-promotion alliance was formed.>In a back-and-forth struggle, Shun caused a misfire when Dick Togo interfered with a powder attack, accidentally hitting EVIL instead. Shun nailed a front high kick and a moonsault knee drop, then went for the SSW (spinning Blue Thunder).>But then the arena went dark. Whether a momentary opening was created or not, when the lights came back on Shun’s mask had been torn off. As he scrambled to cover his face, he was hit with a low blow and then put down with EVIL.>Shun appeared backstage with his face covered by a jersey. “EVIL, that method of yours is indeed very ‘pure,’ worthy of the ‘clean’ in ‘purge.’ But even if you have purity, you lack correctness,” he said with a fearless smile. He added: “Just like counting strokes with the character for ‘correct,’ you’d better start piling up proper actions. Otherwise, nights like this won’t be ‘correct’ or ‘pure’ for you—they’ll be sad.”https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/367345
>>19305521Shun's really going into overtime. Messing with Ozawa. Messing with EVIL. Teasing he'd be down with challenging Kento for the Triple Crown. Dude's getting around.
>>19305575>Dude’s getting aroundshun slutwalker
>>19304558Did they really just put a new guy in Hayabusa's clothes?
>>19306508yes, and in kayfabe he's the same hayabusa
>>19304558
>>19306792>in kayfabe he's the same hayabusaAre you for real? They're claiming he's Eiji Ezaki? The guy who broke his neck, started a second career as a lounge singer, and died alone at 47?

kaito vs hayabusa was good enough. i'd like for hayabusa to spend some time with someone who will teach him about ring psychology. either spend time in ajpw or noah
which one of the guys in this thread is this Tanner Hashi I keep hearing about? Some idiots on X(the everything app) were comparing his retirement tour to GOAT John Cena and saying his was better.
>Kiyomiya Kaito: "Can I just say one thing? Lately, whenever everyone comes back from overseas, they start trying to use me as a 'stepping stone.' It's like there's this trend where, as soon as you get back from abroad, you go straight to Kiyomiya! ...I'm not their upgrade machine, you know!" >https://x.com/noah_ghc/status/1991345094457454636

>>19314293Looking forward to Inamura vs Kiyomiya.
Mr. Smack Daddy
>>19304558puro
Just waiting for Real World Tag League to start. I'm rooting for Ren and Talos but I am curious if Omori trying to get Go to leave Havoc for Hokuto-gun is meant to lead to something.
>>19314293tomorrow, right?
>>19314293I didn't expect a title match this soon.
>>19314933I saw that he won the interim title that Takanashi had before the injury months ago. I also think that it's the first show DDT revealed the attendance to all year.
So who ended up the most successful pupil of Kensuke Sasaki between Nakajima, Miyahara, and Kitamiya? Nakajima ended up the one closest to Sasaki but I'm tempted to say Kento since Kento became an actual ace.
>>19314293Soon
>>19316633NOAH is above All Japan but Kento has had consistent success without doing really good and then blowing it to wrestle for GLEAT. Kitamiya isn't in the conversation and probably won't ever be
>>19314293It’s live
oh man there's not even a thousand people here
Noah jr buried.Also time for main event
Inamura is so fucking good
Did the NXT shitters lose at least?
why does Ozawa dress like a waiter since he got injured
>>19317807yes
>>19317833Thank fucking God. I know the point was to get them reps but they were atrocious.
>>19317828Because his gimmick now "i saw the light and took the path of righteousness" Too bad one of his last youtube video he was blasting some twitter NJPW hardcore fan who was shitting on Takeshita and NOAH without censoring the username etc kek
>>19317872to be more clear it started because he was shitting on Takeshita and calling DDT pretend wrestling, then he dig in his account and found him also talking shit about NOAH(they guy didn't delete, just changed pfp, locked for few days but is still there)
>>19317859Of the NXT guys that came to NOAH, they have been the weakest choices. It would have been better to bring back Tavion Heights and Josh Briggs.

>>19317828he's the Hiromu of NOAH, ultimate performative male with le goofy face
>>19318117so what failed? the main event or aside the jr tournament the rest of the cards were not appealing?
>>19318361Rushed show with a predictable tournament finish, in a region NOAH has never performed well in.
>>19318117Good crowd. More than Marigold.

>Tetsuya Naito & Bushi at #wXw16Carat Gold & at #wXwDeadEnd>Last week, Los Tranquilos de Japon unfortunately had to withdraw their participation in a wXw event at short notice. In the aftermath, Tetsuya Naito took responsibility in interviews and dissolved his company Unpaso. He also reached out to us directly to apologize for the events and the circumstances.>In the past week, we have worked with him, BUSHI, and his new management to find a common foundation for the coming year.>We are very pleased to confirm Los Tranquilos de Japon (>@Jun_22_2025>) for February 21 at Dead End in Hamburg.>We are also pleased to confirm >@BUSHI_ENSERIO>and >@s_d_naito>as participants in 16 Carat Gold from March 6 to 8 in Oberhausen.>We will arrange opportunities for Meet and Greets for both events.>We thank you for the professional contact, the assumption of responsibility, and the constructive conversations.>Tickets for wXw 16 Carat Gold are already available at Eventim at >http://>events.wXw-Wrestling.com. Tickets for Dead End go on presale on Tuesday, November 25.https://x.com/wXwGermany/status/1991950994209386975
>>19319880This nigga wearing lipstick?
>>19318117>sendaihuh why didnt they do it korakuen
>>19320191trying to expand their regional fanbase i guess. they held a ghc match in the same venue last year too
>>19319893brother he’s been wearing that black lipstick for years now
>>19318829Those cakes made him see things
WE MISS YOU, GOAT!
>>19322374he needs a red version of that gear now with the cape and everything
>>19322374I think with the direction NOAH is going right now I get why Go decided to go somewhere that works closer to the way he prefers to wrestle. His match with Kento was really good and while I thought him joining Havoc was goofy it's actually growing on me. I also feel like AJPW is wanting to use him as a guy to help build credibility to their younger talent since they're throwing Omori at him now.
>>19322374Go needs to wear his Misawa fit and claim hes here to finish the job if he wants some heat
>>19324997Demuth should stay more in DDT he's just really fun. The two euro wrestlers were alright, probably if they stick for more matches we gonna see a better show out of them. Sumi is one of my fave young guys along with To-y always happy to see him having a good match even as pin eater.
>>19304558https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwdMJE0t8JM
>>19325488Hope his prayer to nobunaga oda work
>tfw you dream it's your turn to speak at the puro legend meeting and you realize you're naked
>>19328475Why is kawada such a miserable cunt
>>19328491ask taichi
>>19328491Misawa dying just took a lot of his motivation away
Watching the AJPW tag tournament and it's nice to see the crowd has embraced Go again. I think it was rocky for a little bit since I think they weren't sure what to make of him being back but I think the Kento match and just having fun in Havoc has helped the crowd be glad he's back.
The crowd went nuts when they thought Honda would pin Kento. I can only imagine the pop when Honda finally does it.
>>19326008Beautiful man full of murderI hope they drag him at the dome for last Tana's show, he and the rest of sauna were at Mutoh retirement show
>>19325488banger
I'm not gay but here's a list of the puro guys who are hot in my humble estimation:SugiuraShiozakiSanadaUeno
>>19335170I showed your post to a friend telling him I didn't type this and he thinks I'm lying
this is the match
>>19336500kind of funny that at first they only wanted reveal the main event without the other cards/participants and only a week after they decided post show the participants (and that card) to get more people to buy tickets, since only the counter and reserved seats are sold outi knew what they wanted to do, no bashing, but baka gaijin is too niche to get a sold out with no cards announced like ishimori mucha
Night 1 of World's Strongest Tag League was awesome. I'll watch Night 2 later today but the card looks to have more filler on it in comparison. I wish AJPW had the camera work of their bigger shows all the time though. It'd do wonders for the product.
>>19319828It's like the EVIL becoming GOOD meme come to life
>OH N-
Night 2 of World's Strongest Tag League was filler. Pretty much all comedy which is to be expected of a smaller AJPW show I guess. Night 1 was way better.
>>19335170i would ask why mao isn’t in there but then i see >>19336500 and know exactly why he’s not there>>19339492the more i look at ueno the more i want to put my hands on him
>>19335170Very good taste straight anon. Sugiura my cup of tea but I understand why people would like him.>>19339492Every day amazed how good he looks every fucking time. He needs to stop.>>19339602There queue for doing that is pretty long, wait your turn
>>19339668how long do i have to wait?
>>19339699dude, you are asking a bit too much
>>19336814>>19338924thanks for the update. gonna skip night 2
>>19339668How the hell is not doing modeling as a side hustle? Instead he does a gay children's tv show
Would the anons here be in favor of this thread being moved to /jp/?
>>19335170Not including Tanahashi seems like being contrary for the sake of it.
>>19342763Genuinely have never been to /jp/ until you brought it up. I don’t see why you can’t do a trial run, see how it goes and go from there.
>>19342192No problem anon. I've been really into AJPW lately so I like trying to share a little information for everyone in case they're curious to know what's worth seeing from it lately. Why I like the anons who post the NOAH and DDT stuff.
>>19342763probably not since /jp/ is mostly idols / touhou /etc.
>>19342763is there a.specific reason to do that? because I don't think is fitting. and if it's only because is Japanese why not move all other other generals, like njpw and joshi etc
>>19346081not paid this time
>>19346081everybody love mister smack daddy
>>19342214I wondered the same even before the gravure and book release kek IDK how it works with wrestlers signed to a promotion, if any promotion works as management for them or the individual person is the one who look for the side hustles.
these my investment advisors dawg i'm going bankrupt
>>19346039I thought Rising Hayato looked goofy when I first started watching but he's actually pretty good plus it's impossible to deny he gets some of the loudest pops every show due to the fujos. Doesn't surprise me AJPW sells photo books of him.

>>19349526last year as comparison

>>19349690it's from the digital version. if anyone is curious, this is who/what they chose as the top candidates for each award. they've also separated all the awards into men's/women's categories this year
Wrestle Universe airs AEW now? Or have they been doing that and I just never noticed until now
>>19350647 just Takeshita's matches. Feel like they haven't done it in a while so not sure why it started again today.
>>19349798>EVIL vs Takeshita for best matchlelI'd go with Goto/Zack, that shit was magical from start to finish with an all-time crowd. I heard the rematch was even better but I haven't bothered watching it.
>>19349798I don't think I'd call Kento vs Go match of the year but it was easily one of the hottest crowds of the year.
>>19342214He seems to be dabbling in it now
>Yuma Aoyagi was involved in a traffic accident while driving his own car at the Numazu tournament and ran into a red light>https://www.nikkansports.com/m/battle/news/202511260000251_m.html
>>19352255Cursed
>>19352255That's extremely bad luck since Yuma is one of AJPW's main stars and was one of the favorites from fans to challenge Kento. Hopefully he isn't too hurt.
>>19352255what the fuck is it with prominent japanese people and getting in car crashes, are they all just constantly drunk or something
>>19352255>The organization also revealed that Aoyagi has been given a 50% pay cut for three months until February 28, 2026, and will be suspended.Good. I feel bad for ajpw fans but this shi is no joke. Going around with an expired license for a year is terrible... not to mention that this happening after the death of a junior is cursed
>>19352321Yuma definitely deserves to be punished for it, if only because this kind of reckless shit gives AJPW bad press. It'll hurt the upcoming shows a bit not to have him but at least AJPW has a pretty good set of guys to work with right now and AJPW seems pretty good about calling in freelancers in a pinch if they have to.
>>19352255How do you not realize your license expired a year ago?
>>19352339It's bull. AJPW doesn't run as many shows as NJPW or NOAH so Yuma had plenty of time to do something about it.
>>19352255there's always something with this fucking company kek
The Bifrost is open once more. The time for Mortal Kombat begins again.
>>19352255Shamefur Dispray
>>19352809It sucks to lose Yuma at a time of year AJPW really needs him but there's clearly a recklessness behind the scenes AJPW really needs to crack down on.
>>19352255what are they smoking over in all japan
Gonna post this on /wsr/ as well, but do any of you know what song plays at 5:00 of the New Japan Army vs True Inoki Army match card and entrances video? It plays during match cards for other mid 2000s NJPW matches as well. (The tag title change in December 04' with Nakamura and Tanahashi vs Suzuki and Sasaki)
>>19353021Forgot the link like a retard https://archive.org/details/ultimate-crush-2
>>19349798solid choices. but i would had picked another match for takeshita in njpw, not the one vs evil, maybe the iwgp match vs zsjalso nothing against ajpw or saito brothers, but i would replace it with higuchi vs akiyama or higuchi vs ueno from this year wrestle peter pan(as much as i liked ueno second title match vs suzuki i think higuchi deserve to be in that category as well)
>>19352809Don't follow closely ajpw but please tell me he recently changed his hair colorAlso, man people on 5ch gonna have a field day on this scandal
>>19354192Kento not getting a Tana interaction this year feels strange
>>19351764He needs to pay for his crimes
>>19354195I would've loved to see Kento and Tana interact but I get Tana only has so much time with tons of people wanting a piece of it.
>Regarding what Aoyagi Yuma did, there is no room for excuses, and I am deeply sorry.>Even so, I will give everything I have to make sure there is still a place for Aoyagi Yuma to come back to.>Of course I understand that, in the eyes of the public, creating a place for someone who committed a crime is wrong.>But I owe him more than that, and that’s why I’ll do it.https://x.com/0224RISING8810/status/1993699096700604859
>>19355299I don't think Rising Hayato needs to apologize. If anything I'm glad AJPW got the Atsuki/Hayato vs Yumas match before this happened because it was a solid match.
>In normal society, if someone gets into an accident without a license, they would normally be fired. That's too lenient. They should be forced to quit.>How can a wrestler who only has 5 or 6 matches a month not notice that he needs to renew his license?>Aoyagi's apology (?) is so remorseful it's like an elementary school student's reflection, I'm speechless. Even if I give him the benefit of the doubt and say that this is all Aoyagi can write, he should be allowed to post it after being checked and proofread by All Japan.>If this was New Japan, he'd probably be fired>There are also harsh comments on Yahoo! Comments questioning the character of all the professional wrestlers.>Three months of suspension is too lenient no matter how you look at it.>This will make professional wrestling look bad again. Even Fuwa's return doesn't give a good image. "It's a different company!" "It's a different organization!" - those kinds of excuses won't work. The general public thinks "professional wrestling" is bad.>All Japan has closed itself off to the outside world and hasn't given anything good back to the world of professional wrestling, yet this scandal is giving the whole world a negative image.
>>19355410>I mean, why didn't they just give him an indefinite suspension at least as a formality? They're just declaring it to be lenient.>A three-month suspension is like the period of time you get for shoplifting from a convenience store.>Usually, after punishment and negotiations with the other party involved in the accident are settled, a suspension is decided. But with three months, it seems like he'll be playing while the trial proceeds. Whenever All Japan gets embroiled in various disputes, their handling of it exposes how amateurish they are.>Aoyagi is a character who sells himself as a laid-back guy, so it's all the more disappointing.If he returns and plays that kind of character again, everyone will be turned off.>The question is, can a wrestler of the same rank as Tsuji in New Japan or Kiyomiya in Noah be fired immediately?>There's no way All Japan Pro Wrestling has a hard schedule, it's an indie organization that only has 4 shows a month and is practically a side job lol
>>19355410>>19355433i bet none of these people actually watch (or would ever watch) ajpw anyway. if the nagao incident didn't hurt ajpw's business in any noticeable way then i doubt this will either
>>19355468AJPW has a pretty loyal fanbase. I'm annoyed Yuma did this but I don't know why these comments would think AJPW wound fire one of their main eventers and merch movers. On top of that if they fire Yuma they'd risk Atsuki not staying which would cost them their junior ace and another major fan favorite.
>>19355468i think nagao's incident backlash was not as bad as this one because there is no culprit aside blaming ajpw, which is pretty vague meanwhile in this case people can say what they said>>19355519because like some comments said, it's something that normally would fire anyone from any companybut the situation here is quite complicated like you said, don't think ajpw is capable to take that choice
So what was this Real Blood event that Nomura was supposed to face Aoyagi at before the suspension?https://x.com/nomura_naoya/status/1993577724397719777

>>19356511Not sure about the event itself but huge bummer it sounds like AJPW is losing Nomura. His match with Kento a few months ago was awesome and I was hoping he'd be in the mix for the Triple Crown.

Which Japanese promotions are worth watching at the moment? Because AEW and NJPW aren't doing it for me right now.
>>19357673i have no clue what this is about but that was a good v trigger
>>19358340maybe AJPW's tag league might interest you but honestly the new year shows for a bunch of companies are probably the next things of any interest
>>19358340The answers will vary by anon since everyone watches different things. I watch AJPW but it might not be everyone's cup of tea because they don't run a lot of shows most of the time and many of them are hardcam shows and heavy on comedy but when they do bigger shows the camera work is better and the wrestlers go all out. On weekends Webmbro does a thread that usually features quite a few different companies so it's worth stopping by when he does and get a taste from his posts. He usually always has stuff from NJPW, NOAH, and Dragon Gate plus he watches some AJPW and other stuff if he has time.
ddt bros, where do you buy the stuff that they sign at the autograph streams?
>>19358803I wish AJPW had at least some kind of occasional English commentary so I could get a grasp as to what’s going on.
>>19359745>https://ddt-store.com/at the time there is a sale for merch like t-shirts but also they selling a set of 3 random portrait (from 2022 to 2025)>https://ddt-store.com/items/67a0561d9b4c19070750a237this won't be signed but if you never bought merch and you have a fave it's a decent deali only bought online sign merch, like chekis and portraits, i use a proxy, a forwarder. anything like tenso/tensojapan etc is fine

>>19359838addendum to be more specific for anyone who is interested: usually around the start of a month they announce the new portraits set for the whole roster. hey gonna sell at every venue, around mid month they announce the lottery portraits, those can be bought only online. they are four items but random and include the whole roster. generally japanese fans trade them between each other.around the end of the month they announce the dates of the online autographs session and the online only portraits (doesn't include the whole roster) . they give you two days circa to do your order, in that window you can also buy the portraits they sell at the venue (not the lottery one), cheki and square cheki. the cheki are 3.different photos taken by the player, if you order the whole set you get all the cheki but if you order 1/2 or more than 3 it can be randomized while the square cheki is just 1. everything will get signed.i hope this wasn't confusing, there is a ddt goods account >https://x.com/ddtproGOODS
>>19359888>if you order the whole set you get all the cheki but if you order 1/2 or more than 3 it can be randomized while the square cheki is just 1so if you get more than 3 cheki of one person they’ll all get randomized? or is it just any extra beyond the set of 3 are randomized, like if i buy 4 only the 4th one is random?
>>19360173> if i buy 4 only the 4th one is randomit should be that but it's specified on the site when they open the cheki sale every month.but i never bought more than 3 cheki so i can't tell how the duplicates get randomized
>>19359761Unfortunately AJPW lacks money so they only have Japanese commentary on big shows and no commentary at all on small shows. Thankfully the stories in AJPW usually aren't too complex so I just check around a couple places and get a decent idea of what's going on
>>19359761>>19360579Every Japanese fed should at least AI generate English subtitles for the important promos and post them on social media. Wouldn't even cost them anything except a couple minutes of time.
>>19360619NTA but fuck no. Even the one with money are employing Ai for cards designs. I'd prefer them to not do that since the average japanese have no clue about AI and even wrestlers use it for bullshit reasons.
>>19362208Kenoh is one of my favorite goofs in wrestling
>>19360619I remember an English speaking wrestler in Japan being asked about using AI for translation and she said that they likely wouldn't be willing to do it because Japanese defamation laws are insanely strict and a mistranslation could actually lead to a lawsuit. AI is pretty good at translating now but it still needs someone with a decent grasp of the language to check for mistakes>>19360684>I'd prefer them to not do that since the average japanese have no clue about AIIn what sense? Japanese people seem to love using AI

>>19358340DDT and TJPW are the only answers
>>19346866My headcanon is that Ueno isn't that interested into modeling back then which is surprising since he has so much female incel fans but now does it
>>19364788>he has so much female incel fans You'd be surprised how many dudes like him (probably homo, who knows) since his black trunks/disaster box eraAnyway, i think he's only doing more now because he gained more mainstream notoriety,and if you don't work as a model usually you'd see celebrities/idols/actors doing thatpuro is not as popular with the general public to have that kind of demand on mainstream outlets that are not related to sport magazines. which is why that nylon x puro thing is an interesting project

>>19368458fuck this hatin' ass nigga
Just finished Night 3 of World's Strongest Tag League. Way better than Night 2 but a bit weaker than Night 1. What I will definitely praise it on though is AJPW handling the shit with Yuma Aoyagi well by having Yuma Anzai and Jun Saito immediately feud over who gets to challenge Kento for the Triple Crown while Kento keeps winking that the mystery challenger isn't either one of them plus Kento says if he wins the tournament with DBS Jr they'll immediately challenge Havoc for the tag belts. Anzai even shot on Aoyagi a bit and called him an idiot. As for mystery challengers I know Shun Skywalker and YAMATO have teased the idea of going after Kento plus lots of people are still curious what Nakajima will do. I am happy though AJPW isn't letting the Aoyagi stuff rattle them though.

>【NOAH】 Even with Go Shiozaki gone… Team NOAH continues with Atsushi Kotoge as new leader: “Disbanding would be easy.”>NOAH’s unit “Team NOAH” declared at their self-produced event “TEAM NOAH JUDGEMENT” (29th, Radiant Hall, Kanagawa) that they will continue their activities.>Team NOAH began in January of last year centered around Go Shiozaki. They later held unit shows such as “LIMIT BREAK,” but with leader Shiozaki leaving NOAH at the end of September this year, attention turned to the future of the unit itself. On this day’s main event, the four Team NOAH members (Mohammed Yone, Atsushi Kotoge, Hajime Ohara, Hi69) faced the team of Kazuyuki Fujita, Shuhei Taniguchi, Harutoki, and Yuto Kikuchi in an eight-man tag match.>Before the match even started, Fujita pointed out, “Huh? Where’s Shiozaki?” and the bell rang. The match was back-and-forth from the early stages, and in the middle Kotoge became isolated and endured sustained offense. Even so, he survived the onslaught and counterattacked using combination offense. After fierce exchanges, Kotoge finally drove his opponent head-first into the mat with the Kill Switch and scored the three-count.
>>19372369>After the match, Kotoge took the mic and said, “Continue or disband. The conclusion is—we continue,” declaring the unit’s continuation. As “Kotoge” chants broke out, he continued: “When the company booked Radiant Hall for us on November 29, the plan was to make this a disbandment show. But after various things happened, I thought, ‘Why have we been able to keep going this long?’ It’s because we have teammates who fight alongside us. We’ve built up careers and experience. That’s why we know: disbanding is easy, but continuing is difficult. So we’re going to keep going. We’re not done with our youth yet, so please support us.”>Next, Yone took the mic and said with a smile, “A lot has happened, and just because someone says goodbye doesn’t mean we should disband. We might even gain more members.”>Hi69, who had only just returned from injury, added, “We, Team NOAH, have to push forward full-force. How I feel right now? ‘Shiozaki can go to hell!’”>After that, Kotoge also announced that he will be taking over as leader. All eyes are now on the future of Team NOAH as it enters a new chapter.https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/368503

>>19379464and also F-SWAG (masaoka jun and gaia hox) challenged the champions of the ko-d tag
Just finished Night 4 of World's Strongest Tag League. Go vs Shota was fine but the rest of the first half was a little sloppy. In the second half it was nice to see Anzai and Saito's feud simmer a little more. I was a little sad Ayabe and Talos got their first loss since I was rooting for them. The main event was funny if only because Kento and Odyssey love messing with each other. I think it's going to be Havoc vs Havoc though at this rate which makes me wonder if Havoc's going to have a short lifespan as a faction.
>Unpaid Wrestlerkek
Takagi using To-y's mother against him was mean kek
>>19379945It was cute too
>>19379807who? naito?
Not a single dropkick missed, all beautiful but still they should had made this shorter but i get why
janken tournament to pick which one of the young guys will challenge ueno kek
You got this babygirl! Win rock paper scissors!
Too bad that Masada was eaten alive by Ueno's mic, he really can't win that.Good show overall. F-SWAG are cool, i hope they will stick around more and not just for the title match.
i love kaito but this always make me chortle
>>19383255I have been enjoying Anzai shooting on Aoyagi a bit these last couple shows though I'm sure Atsuki feels a little awkward when he comes out due to what his brother did.
>>19384248I found it funny that Baba was a big lover of the Game Boy.
>>19384248It's wild that AJPW has guys like Kyohei Wada and Masanobu Fuichi who has seen practically the entire life of the promotion first hand. It'll be a huge loss when those guys go because they have to be a wealth of knowledge on the history of AJPW and how it has evolved over the decades.
>>19384996I hope they have memoirs.
Just finished Night 5 of World's Strongest Tag League. I think this show was a lot smoother than last night with a lot less issues so I was happy with it. I'm excited to see Ashino/Shiozaki vs Ayabe/Talos.
wonder what Ueno's max jump height is
>>19387494he posted about his box jumping training weeks before their title match. he says that in the video is 137cm while his best is 152cm>https://www.instagram.com/p/DQ3dJSVEmQe/>https://x.com/dna_ueno/status/1990812506705776692but i vividly remember in his first ko-d defense title match against naya (who is 2.01cm) he dropkicked the back of his head and face
80-00s New Japan is the greatest wrestling of all time and nothing will come close.
>>19387787He looks like Ibushi is in this photo
>>19387801I know you joking but I'm one of the few people that aside the blue/white gear I never saw the similarities between them. Maybe if he kept tanning he would had looked like Ibushi.
>>19387939White gear is so visually striking and they both look the same do its why I make comparisons to him and Ibushi. And let's be real, Ueno is a better more mentallystable version of Ibushi.I also want to kiss his back and neck.
>>19388079I think most people do that surface comparison, sometimes is reeks of "all japanese guys with similar features look the same" like Takeshita and Masada but even japanese in the early days, were calling him Ibushi-look-alike because a bunch of viral clips of him doing a moonsault over a vending machine.Even at the time he could have looked like Ibushi, because the tan and all, he was too twinkish kek>more mentally stable version of Ibushithe dude might not think is DNA is superior and break is bones doing stupid shit but he's still a huge freak
>>19388423didn’t realize just how similar they look until seeing that drawing keki saw some people comparing mao and ibushi the other day too, which.. i guess i can kinda understand? kinda just seems like everyone gets compared to ibushi
>>19388867well stylization doesn't help. i think yuki is hard to draw because his features are very particularbut talking with you reminded me this old (7 years ago, damn) commercial they did together when yuki had his natural hair color>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtngB_r-IQY

>>19390129Funny timing since apparently Kento did an interview where he dissed OZAWA and Saya Kamitani a bit and noted Hulk Hogan is one of his favorite wrestlers.https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/368752?page=1
>>19391123>【AJPW】 Kento Miyahara condemns Saya Kamitani & OZAWA for campaigning to win MVP: “Isn’t this strange?”>All Japan Pro Wrestling’s “unanimously the greatest man,” Kento Miyahara (36), has issued an emergency proposal demanding a ban on “lobbying” for awards in the Pro Wrestling Awards. His comments also pull Stardom’s Saya Kamitani (29) and NOAH’s OZAWA (29) into the discussion—what exactly did he say?>On an early morning in November, as the real cold of the season began to set in, Miyahara urgently summoned a reporter. Appearing at a location in Shinjuku Ward, he immediately opened with: “Isn’t this year’s Pro Wrestling Awards strange?”>Indeed, the Pro Wrestling Awards this year have become more heated than ever. Kamitani, aiming to become the first woman ever to win MVP, directly lobbied Kenta Kobashi—who has served as a special selection committee member since 2021—to vote for her. OZAWA, though avoiding explicit statements, has also behaved in ways resembling “under-the-table gifts,” such as politely handing castella cakes to reporters.>Miyahara denounced the two: “A wrestler who aims for awards is no good.” He continued, “Pro wrestlers are people who show how cool they are by fighting in the ring or appearing in media, right? The wrestlers I admired when I was a kid—like Hulk Hogan—were they aiming for awards? They weren’t,” he said sharply.
>>19391367>He argued that the actions of top wrestlers like Kamitani and OZAWA will create a negative cycle in the industry. “In five or ten years, wrestlers who admired those two will do the same thing. And the world of wrestling will just get smaller and smaller,” he warned, concerned that even the prestige of the awards could eventually collapse.>He also pointed a finger at this very newspaper: “Tokyo Sports—you hype up the wrestlers and write about them in entertaining ways, right? That’s exactly what needs to stop, which is why I called you here today.”>“Awards are something you *receive*. Even without fancy gifts, they go to the wrestler who best represents that year,” Miyahara said with solid logic. Up to this point, the reporter nodded in agreement—until Miyahara added, “Well, this year, that person is Kento Miyahara,” a remark that made the reporter doubt their ears.>Wouldn’t that make him the same as the others—just another person in the same hole? When pressed on this, he said, “Not at all. What I’m doing is giving advice. I mean, is there another ‘People’s Champion’ on my level? And anyway…” and launched into endless self-praise, so the reporter listened with only half attention.>Before long, Miyahara—now looking refreshed—handed the reporter a can of coffee, gazing upward as if trying to convey something, and said, “It suddenly got cold, so be careful not to catch a cold.” Where will the MVP end up…?https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/368752

>>19394881Kaito shouldn't feel too bad. Unless you're Muto or Chono no one on the street is going to recognize a wrestler right off.
>>19394881lol, remember when kenoh did thishe even dressed up in his full costume
>>19394881humiliation ritual
>>19393997I wouldn't consider Sasadango match a filler considered it tied to the Ryougoku show and the official declaration of Ueno for wanting to bring DDT to Tokyo Dome. And from there they added meta commentary about puro losing their icon (Tanahashi) and who is going to fill that huge void in the industry and so on. It's a pity that a lot of DDT stories get lost in translation. >>19394034Their last free show had like 1k attendees, the only number that was leaked while Takagi was away kek, Ryougoku went very well and they had a bunch of sold out in-house shows and Korakuen. But I get why they decided to not publicly release numbers, japanese fans are WAY worse than us about this.
