>#GLEAT Ariake: In the main event, El Lindaman defeated T-Hawk to defend his title. His Tiger Suplex was kicked out of at two, but after that he absorbed T-Hawk’s counterattack, and when T-Hawk had exhausted himself, Lindaman covered him almost like he was embracing him. “I wanted to make him give everything he had. I expressed a great love.” Lindaman, who has declared that he will become a superstar, changed his costume from black short tights to flashy long tights, partly to signify that first step. “The black trunks and shaved head were my own ego. With that, the younger wrestlers won’t grow, and the fans won’t grow. This is on a different level from the kind of trying-to-look-cool that everyone else does.”

I think it's a good jumping on point. Shun is leaving, maybe. The old guard is kinda being phased out (the YAMATO 20th Anniversary Match seems like a containment match with all the Toryumon OGs), and New units are likely to be formed with Yuki Yoshioka & Kota Minoura tagging together and Ryoya Tanaka and Kazuma Kimura allying together to form an official unit.

A sidenote they might look to update the network or something. From Jae after he talking with some of the DG office guys I assume.
>I completely forgot to ask about the network maintenance. I was assuming it was just backend stuff but the recent announcement makes it sound like it is actually a full site refresh. Fingers crossed

And the announcement he's referring to

Outside of the Dragon Kid feud Eita has always sucked, but BUSHI is even worse.

>AJ Styles says he would like to see WWE acquire a wrestling company in Japan.

>“I would love WWE to find a way to be in Japan, kind of like the way AAA is. We’re not changing what they’re doing. We’re not trying to change the culture. We’re just putting our spin on it. It’s not them coming to WWE, but WWE has purchased a company in Japan. Now, we have Japan, we have Mexico… I don’t want them to come to RAW or SmackDown. I want them to be a WWE whatever in Japan. It’s endless things that we could do. I believe that with the help of WWE, we would be able to revive Japanese wrestling to where it was. I would love to see it back where it’s the Tokyo Dome. I’m talking about not like a WrestleMania over there. I’m just saying it’s the company selling out the Tokyo Dome like it did in the early 90s. That’s what I would want to see.”

>Next station for the Jiro Shinbashi Special Training Infamous Yamanote Line Chronicles Vol.3 is Kanda.
Kanda = next
Harajuku = Minoru Suzuki
Ikebukuro = Punch
Tabata = The luchadora in Stardom?
Ebisu = Ebessan?
Yurakucho = T-Hawk (Since he challenged YAMATO to come fight him in the streets there)
Ueno = the panda or DDT guy
Tokyo = Magnum?

>Yoshio and Mino are going to announce their team/unit name at the fan party on the 19th. They are Team Seino until then.

>Shingo is going to come to the YAMATO hometown show in Iwate on Sept 6th

>Shun’s final match will be a singles match with Homare on Aug. 4th

>GM letting Kzy close the show tonight because he knows he won’t be in Kobe next week.

Shinbashi had a single vs Ueno during Toru Owashi's anniversay show if that matters.

>[WWE] AJ Styles Makes Noteworthy Comment on Podcast: “I Want WWE to Buy a Japanese Promotion”

>“The Phenomenal” AJ Styles (49), who retired from WWE in the United States this January, has drawn attention with noteworthy comments about Japanese promotions.

>At the January PLE “Royal Rumble,” he lost to “The Ring General” Gunther and left the ring, and in April he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. The legend, who led the pro wrestling world for 28 years from his debut, is now involved in talent scouting while remaining with WWE. He has also continued to actively voice his opinions toward the industry, but what he said this time on the podcast “Phenomenally Retro” had impact.

>Last April, WWE acquired the Mexican lucha libre promotion AAA. AAA, now under the WWE umbrella, appointed Mark Calaway, better known as The Undertaker, as general producer, and has achieved great success by fusing lucha with American pro wrestling. Its leading star El Grande Americano was shown repeatedly in the stands cheering during a broadcast of Mexico’s match at the soccer World Cup, proving his current popularity.

>Citing that Mexican success story, AJ said, “I’d like them to do something in Japan too. It would be great if WWE could find a way to enter Japan in the same sort of form as AAA. It’s not about changing what they do. It’s not about trying to change the culture. It’s just adding our own color to it.” He then went a step further: “It wouldn’t be Japanese wrestlers coming to WWE. WWE would buy a Japanese promotion.”

>>20808355
>Why does he hope for that? He said it is in order to revitalize the Japanese pro wrestling world: “With WWE’s help, I think Japanese pro wrestling could regain its former glory. I want it to return to a situation where matches are being held at Tokyo Dome.” He further stated, “I don’t mean holding an event like WrestleMania in Japan. I mean returning to a state like the early 1990s, or around that time, when promotions were filling Tokyo Dome. Well, that depends on the wrestlers, though.”

>In the 1990s, various promotions held major events at Tokyo Dome. Led by New Japan Pro-Wrestling, All Japan Pro Wrestling, SWS, the Fujiwara-gumi, and All Japan Women’s Pro-Wrestling all advanced there, and AJ argues that if WWE became involved, the scene could return to the kind of boom where Tokyo Dome-scale events could be held regularly.

>Of course, this is only AJ’s personal opinion. However, because he is a legend who knows the Japanese pro wrestling world well, overseas pro wrestling media picked up his comments all at once. Information like this has surfaced under the radar many times before, but it has never come to fruition. What, then, is the true intent behind AJ’s remarks?

>[DRAGONGATE] YAMATO Already in an Ominous Mood Before His September 6 “Reunion” with Takagi Shingo: “There Are Long-Standing Grudges...”

>YAMATO (44) of DRAGONGATE expressed his expectations for his reunion with Takagi Shingo (43, New Japan Pro-Wrestling), their first in two years.

>YAMATO, who marks the 20th anniversary of his debut this year, will have a homecoming match at the September 6 Iwate show. At the July 13 Shinjuku show, it was announced that Takagi will compete at that event. The two are close allies and rivals who have fought numerous fierce battles, including matches for the top Open the Dream Gate Championship. They have continued to interact across promotional lines at key moments, such as when YAMATO competed at Takagi’s 20th anniversary show in Yamanashi in September 2024.

>Speaking to this paper, YAMATO said, “I’m one year older, but he’s one year senior to me in career, so it’s a distorted relationship. I don’t know if he felt the same way, but for a long time in the past, there was a lot of ‘you bastard’ between us.” Even so, in Yamanashi two years ago, he apparently sensed changes in both of their feelings: “I thought, no matter where he goes, Takagi Shingo is Takagi Shingo. I said he’s younger than me, but when I look at him as a senior, he has a huge back,” he said, pleased by Takagi’s success fighting at the top level in another promotion.

>The match card has not yet been announced, but YAMATO himself hopes to team with him for the first time in two years. However, he also revealed his complicated feelings: “There are long-standing grudges, so I don’t know what my emotions will do.” Given that there was also the incident in May 2016 when Takagi expelled him from the unit “VerserK,” he did not seem calm: “It’s not just things in the ring. I have plenty of private grudges too. I might lose track of who my opponent is...” Will the gears of history begin moving once again?

I’ll be honest - was never a Yamato fan. Preferred Doi and Yoshino as top guys.

>>20815521
I've never really felt Doi as an ace type wrestler. He always felt awkward to me whenever they let him be Dream Gate champ. For me it's Yoshino or Mochizuki
