If they did actually get someone from New Japan it should be Goto. Or bring back Kojima to All Japan.

Wato doesn't deserve to go over Super Crazy.

I assume he's basically retired. His last match on a regular show was August 2018 on a DDT Korakuen. Before that, 2017 RWTL, before that the 2015 Summer Explosion tour where he did 5 of the 6 dates. Everything else has been on retirement shows or charity shows or tribute shows, about 10 of them in that 6 year timespan. he's just quietly gone off by the looks of things, don't think there was any confirmation.

Kojima would be great but I'm not sure if Goto winning the current Triple Crown would be funny, sad or funny/sad at the same time

What an odd distribution of colours. Kongoh have red of course, but so does most of PdMdJ and Fujita, while Green has three people and Saito is the only guy repping light blue

I love that NOAH has light sticks, just one more step towards the kpopification of pro wrestling. Next, photocards to collect with each event.

Light sticks are a good short-term replacement for streamers but I want streamers back in NOAH when it's safe to scream "NAITO" at matches in Japan again.

I'm not really sure why GLEAT would book Miyagi to get squashed like that. Izuchi & Iizuka losing like that, they were impressive in defeat. Watanabe losing to Nakano? Ehhhh, it's his first match back but I'm iffy on it & it did at least establish liver shots as legit in worked shoots. Honestly, Miyagi should have won that, Big Hash is a pro wrestler. Miyagi at least theoretically trains for these matches as part of her regular job. If the only way you can get outsiders is by having your talent all get jobbed out then maybe just run Korakuen Hall instead of TDC.

It's been cool poo poo so far but I'm just worried that eventually people stop caring because well, why be invested in a bunch of losers?

At least run more Lidet UWF shows/matches so they can get some wins before the big shows?

I think Soma shouldn't be losing to Nakano (stick Nakano in this match and have Funaki or Tanaka be the guy to take out Soma in his comeback) but I really wouldn't buy Miyagi beating Chihiro especially how they've established Chihiro as a monster with her killing Maya on the first show.

There's a difference between not beating Chihiro and straight up getting squashed. That was as pure a squash as it gets.
