>[All Japan] Hideki Suzuki revives “Evolution” for the first time in two years — the real aim is “maintaining Suwama-san’s health.”>All Japan Pro Wrestling’s renegade unit “Evolution” has returned after lying dormant for roughly two years. What’s the thinking behind it? We spoke directly with the man at the center of it all, Hideki Suzuki (45), known as “the most stubborn eccentric in the mat world.”>The rampaging group’s comeback came at the Korakuen show on the 15th. With Suzuki and Suwama set to challenge for the World Tag Team titles against Ren Ayabe and Talos, they won a six-man tag match in a preview bout. After the match, Suwama declared the unit’s revival together with Suzuki, Kōtaro Satō, and Dan Tamura.>It has been about two years since Suwama effectively announced the unit would go dormant in July two years ago. Suzuki, believed to have been working behind the scenes to bring it back, explained: “If it isn’t gone, then let’s do it.” He added, “Suwama-san didn’t appear (in All Japan) that much last year. When we were thinking about how to bring him back onto All Japan’s ring again, I felt what was needed wasn’t ‘Baka no Jidai,’ but ‘Evolution.’”>In other words, reviving the unit is meant to spur Suwama’s “re-rampage.” Suzuki said: “The biggest purpose (of restarting) is maintaining Suwama-san’s health. Last year he had far too few matches. I don’t know why I, just a contracted wrestler, have to secure the place and health of a part-time executive director, but…”—he explained the significance with his characteristic dry tone.>With a title challenge against Ayabe & Talos looming at the Ota Ward General Gymnasium event on the 23rd, he clenched his fist and declared: “From here, I want to go straight into total domination. After the World Tag, the Asian Tag too… I’m going to carry that kind of fighting spirit.” Will the return of the rampaging unit whip up a storm on the King’s Road mat?https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/378161

>[NOAH] Alpha Wolf & Kai Fujimura protect their one-loss record and head into the final round as sole leaders in the Junior Tag League — with four teams chasing on two losses in a tightly-packed race>In a “Junior Tag League” tournament match at NOAH’s Kumamoto event on the 22nd, TEAM 2000X’s Alpha Wolf and Kai Fujimura (30) picked up their fifth win, defeating the team of Eita (34) and Katsumi Inaba (24).>With Eita’s team already eliminated, Wolf and Kai launched a surprise attack, assaulted them outside the ring, and grabbed the early advantage. Kai weathered a counterattack when Inaba tried to roll him up, but refused to give up the three-count. After shutting down the follow-up with a thrust kick, Kai finished Inaba with a Death Hanger (a modified buster) after a combination with Wolf.>In the day’s other league matches, Dragon Bane & Alejandro—who had been tied for the lead with one loss—suffered their second loss against Tadasuke & Jun Masaoka. As a result, Wolf & Kai will go into their final league match (23rd, Hakata) as sole leaders. A draw or better will secure their spot in the championship-deciding match (March 1, Korakuen).>Chasing them on two losses are four teams: Bane & Alejandro; Tadasuke & Masaoka; Daga & Daiki Odashima; and Mark True & Kieron Lacey. True & Lacey have a direct showdown with Wolf & Kai in the final round, setting up what looks like a qualification battle that won’t be decided until the very end.https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/378403

>>19939951Looks like a fun card. They should get over 2,000 people.
>>19939951I wasn't feeling Saito's reign last year but I think he's had a decent string of matches lately so I'm curious to see what happens here though I think the better move for AJPW is have Saito lose and focus the brothers in the tag division. Evolution vs Titans should be pretty good. Kuma vs Sekimoto could be interesting though so far Kuma's break off from Hokuto-gun has been eh so he needs a strong match here.
https://youtu.be/dEqwdoQvMZgajpw is too serious now
I'll say first thing first that mine is not a diss to AJPW, not trying to beef with anyone. I was catching up with stuff and reading japanese comments in the usual place and want to hear what /puro/ fags think about>2/23 All Japan Excite Series 2026, Ota Ward General Gymnasium, Tokyo, 2237 people>Looking at this picture I thought there would be fewer, but maybe they were somewhere I couldn't see? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HB0kMvKbIAAGw9k.jpg>The problem is that the quality of the matches other than All Japan's Miyahara is low. They're all big but can't move, so the basics are poor and the only junior who's impressive is Aoyagi's younger brother.>It seems like AJPW periodically gets a temporary boost and then self-destructs every time. This time, the number of female fans increased, but those fans are willing to spend money, but they also lose interest quickly. Anzai and the young guys from DG and New Japan Pro Wrestling, came over, and then after a lot of things, they ended up going to DDT again.>Miyahara spent most of his career in All Japan, and that was during its twilight years under Akiyama's presidency. Yet he became such a skilled wrestler—he must have had real talent. That's precisely why it's such a waste he never ventured beyond All Japan. Because of that, he couldn't be part of his idol Tanahashi's retirement road either.
Comedy is a draw'fraid 'o
>>19942590The big thing I would agree with is AJPW has a heavy reliance on big guys. Some are pretty decent like Jun Saito while others like Odyssey will only work in a tag match because a longer singles match only hurts him. That was my issue with Miyahara vs Talos. Talos is one of the better gaijin AJPW has right now but that match went on a bit too long for as limited as Talos can be in the ring. I do think picking up guys like Go Shiozaki and Hideki Suzuki has helped diversify the roster a bit but to me the biggest problem is the AJPW dojo is glacial in producing talents compared to other promotions right now. It isn't a good look when the only young boys AJPW has running around is Kofuji and Yano and while both are fairly decent they're both going to be juniors. I think the analysis of the junior division though is a bit unfair. Atsuki is a solid ace but I think the junior division is actually pretty solid right now despite being small with guys like Rising Hayato and Dan Tamura. Even Seigo who was just working as a goofy comedy jobber is having a pretty exciting evolution from comedy jobber to guy who is a loveable goof but can actually go in the ring. In some regards I think the junior division actually has a better balance than the heavyweights of young talents with different styles. Now I'm not saying the AJPW junior division is the best in the business or anything but I'd rather watch it than the NOAH junior division of a few years ago. I wouldn't say current AJPW is perfect by any means but I think for the last few months at least it's been a pretty consistent product for the most part and I think the lows in AJPW aren't as bad as the lows in NOAH though the highs in NOAH are higher than the highs in AJPW.
>[All Japan] Miyahara Kento beats Saito Jun with a Reverse DOOM to notch Triple Crown V5: “Japanese pro-wrestling fans like me!”>At All Japan Pro Wrestling’s Ota Ward event on the 23rd, Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion Miyahara Kento (36) defeated Saito Jun (39) to successfully make his fifth defense (V5).>From the opening moments, the two traded a heated, no-give-ground exchange. In the floor battle, Miyahara was left writhing after Jun’s towel attack and the like, but he fired back with headbutts and attacks into the guardrail as they brawled fiercely.>Afterward, Miyahara skillfully worked the crowd and gradually turned the support into a tailwind. Even while absorbing heavy shots, he leaned on his trademark toughness, enduring and then striking back at key moments. Mid-match, he hit a piledriver on the apron and pushed Jun to the brink of a KO.>But from there, he struggled to finish off the challenger as Jun showed his grit. Looking to land the final blow, Miyahara went for an avalanche brainbuster from the top turnbuckle, but Jun reversed positions and Miyahara was slammed down with an avalanche chokeslam.>The match remained seesaw right into the closing stretch. Miyahara sent the crowd into a frenzy when he blasted Jun in the face with the “Reverse DOOM” he had “developed” for this match—only to immediately eat a same-style Dying Light in return. In the end, he hit Blackout and then arched into a Shutdown Suplex to score the three-count and secure a razor-thin victory.>After 27 minutes, 32 seconds of battle, Miyahara addressed the applauding crowd: “Is this the air of an away crowd? Why are you cheering me even though you’re calling it ‘away’? Do you know why?” Then, without missing a beat, he shouted in self-rapture: “In the end, Japanese pro-wrestling fans like me!”
>>19944446>Miyahara then designated the site of his V6 defense as the March 20 event at Esforta Arena Hachioji in Tokyo. Answering that call was Kumaarashi, who has left Hokuto-gun and is now operating on his own. After defeating Sekimoto Daisuke in the third match of the night to win the GAORA TV title, Kumaarashi issued a challenge: “I’ve got one demand. Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion Miyahara Kento—accept my challenge.”>Miyahara accepted: “I was wondering who it was—former Hokuto-gun. No, former W-1’s Kumaarashi. You’re former Hokuto-gun, former W-1… nothing but ‘former,’ huh. If you’re going to lay bare who you are now—your life—on this ring, then I’ll take it.” When Kumaarashi fired back, “A man doesn’t go back on his word. Head-on fight,” the two pressed foreheads together and glared, sparks already flying.>Miyahara—who turns 37 on the 27th—also let his self-love burst out, even strong-arming fans into photographing his “valuable 36-year-old self.” He closed in high spirits with a ringing line: “If you want to feel a heart-pounding thrill you can’t get in everyday life, then keep your eyes on me. If you watch Miyahara Kento, your lives will get just a little richer too.”https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/378511

Just finished the 2/23 AJPW show. I think the show went a little long and I got fatigued at times but the actual matches were solid for the most part. Hokuto vs Honda overdelivered for an opening match. Kuma vs Sekimoto was a decent hoss fight and I'm curious to see if Kuma can prove himself as a singles midcard guy though I think throwing him at Kento already is an odd choice. Seeing Rei Saito back in the ring was nice just because you could tell he was happy about it. The first junior tag match I liked except for whoever it was that tossed the chair hit a cameraman in the head with it and that could've been a recipe for disaster so I'm glad the camera guy is okay but that was still extremely sloppy. Evolution vs Titans of Calamity I will easily say Ayabe and Suzuki were the stars of that match because Suwama was a bit slow and Talos was just average. Kento vs Jun Saito was a really good match though they didn't do anything new but I think Jun Saito's been having a good string of matches lately which is cool.
