Tournament takes place over three successive weeks. April 10th, 16th and 23rd each with a 10pm JST start time. First round matches are:

- Sanshiro Takagi vs Abdullah Kobayashi - BJW Dojo (and surrounding area)
- Hikaru Machida vs Worawutnoi Keatchaiyong - Enoshima Beach (never heard of these guys but they're hyping it as Kickboxing vs Muay Thai)
- Chris Brookes vs Onryo - Studio Flamme in a Coffin Match (Also apparently Onryo is invisble to everyone but Chris?)
- Suzu Suzuki vs Shunma Katsumata - Shibuya Kitaya Park

Now that is a diverse location list, I thought they might have blown their wad sending Shunma and MAO north to hang out with Chihiro in the snow

https://twitter.com/ddtproENG/status/1507339882997649414

Funniest part was either this or during the promo photos Onryo started strangling Chris and Shota thought he was just drunk and collapsed. He leads Chris offscreen and you hear a weak "the ghost was choking me Shota"

He won a cursed belt in FMW that killed him. He beat Goemon, handcuffed him to the cursed belt, and teamed with Goemon after it killed him and made him a ghost too. He's been wrestling and haunting the world ever since in various companies, never knowing rest

Asuka/Hino are good friends from when they were in Revengers together in ZERO1. They've tweeted out on at least two separate occasions that they stayed out getting drunk together until the first train. There's a pretty great match where they faced each other on ZERO1's YouTube somewhere too.

This is a really quiet week, which as someone who had developed an excessive backlog this is very good. The Stardom show looks insane but then you remember that the matches are all going to be sub-10 minutes. DDT have their train battle royal but honestly the thing I'm most excited for is Dragongate & the K-ness retirement show. Going by what Jae said it's not going to be a great match because K-ness is that hurt but it'll be emotional, & also there are a whole gently caress of a lot of real interesting things happening in DG right now & we're building towards Dead Or Alive & the traditional clusterfuck cagematch. It'll be cool, you should watch.

I don't know why but I laugh every time I see "Also Colega" at the tail end of your posts.

I picture it being delivered with the most deadpan tone possible, like :geno: "Also.. y'know... Colega's happening... I guess..."

Yeah, that's about it. "Also..." is basically "hey, maybe someone cares about this but I do not care enough to look up cards & deal with translating names". Although I don't even know if Colega are still on Youtube or what. Any hype around them died REALLY fast.

Dylan James was in trouble with the law for taking a girl from Japan back to New Zealand to get married who was a minor under Japanese law.

Joji Otani was arrested for sleeping with a high school girl

Ryouji Sai who runs the place is a COVID denialist and Naoki Tanizaki published a blog talking about the lack of safety procedures backstage including finding Momoka Hanazono suffering from serious COVID backstage at a show and having to rush her to a hospital.

It's a mess and I'm glad Bodyguard got out.

That is one of the weirdest little things. Even if they can't be bothered to break out a measuring tape, can't they just break out an old Wrestle-1 show because his height is definitely out there (160cm).

Anyway, Wrestle-1's dojo is something I definitely didn't appreciate when they existed but it sure has pumped out some fantastic talent in the few years they were around.

The other participants are pretty cool though. And Kento & Yoshitatsu always have really good chemistry, so there's that. I can't wait, week & a half until the first show in Osaka & we get Jake vs Ashino, Honda vs T-Hawk, Shuji vs Irie in some beef action, Kento vs Arashi, Suwama vs Aoyagi & Yoshitatsu vs Nomura. And Nomura just stiffing YT sounds cool.

That said, yes, any time I watch a B Block match & YT wins I will complain.
