BAEST MODE!!!
I just watch a few hyped matches from NOAH, AJPW and death matches. I think I watched a little Zero One out of morbid curiosity before Real Hero went down. There's some much free lucha available that it's just not worth it to pay for the smaller puro groups on top of New Japan.

ajpw and dragon gate are both worth keeping track of and i've paid for ajpw's subscription service since it began. ajpw.tv's the non new japan streaming service i'd most recommend as it's affordable, the product's enjoyable and they steam basically every show of consequence.

dragon gate had a fantastic show in ota ward gym a couple weeks ago and is actually more interesting to me right now than they have been in a couple years since the departures. unfortunately their service is expensive by wrestling standards and shows disappear after a week.

never been able to get into ddt though i'll try to watch their two big arena shows every year.

just to clarify on this the initial broadcast is up for a week and then roughly a month afterwards the tv broadcast goes up on the archives. it's some weird poo poo.

I used to follow DG, All Japan, and DDT when the RH Archive was a thing but now it's gone and everyone has a streaming service that I don't have the money for and I've been a sad boy ever since.

I'm thinking about waking up to watch DDT's Peter Pan, a 6am start time isn't outside the realm of possibility for me and it's the big DDT show.

So I signed up for DDT Universe, but I've got little familiarity with the company aside from knowing the name of their championships and some of the more famous gif'd moments in their history. So what do I need to know about storywise? Which matches should I be looking out for (aside from the stuff involving the Strong Hearts, I know about them)? And how often exactly do they run these free streamed shows?

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Even if you have a comprehensive understanding of what's going on in DDT, you still really have no idea what's going on in DDT. Just enjoy the ride, there.

Seems like they do a free show 2-3 times a month.

If you want, I could find a list of some of the best and/or craziest events on the service so you can binge a bit.

10 PM Pacific sounds like a good time to watch a show... Also gives me a good excuse to check out DDT's service.

Strong Hearts is the coolest unit going and two of their main guys looked unsalvageable just six months ago.

A royal rumble gimmick except each entry is just a weapon added to a 1v1 match. :allears:

DDT's streaming service is completely making GBS threads the bed and it's getting worse just as the match I tuned in for is coming on :sigh:

What I could see of Takeshita/CIMA looked fun but that buffering is an absolute no go.

Yeah, I woke up to watch it and just got a big useless ERROR message so ended up giving up. Bummer.

My understanding(limited only to children's TV shows involving rubber suits) is that women rarely ever push for divorce, even in the face of violence.

I don't know what Taka's personal situation is like so I'm not going speculate or judge.
