You can tell Brookes and Akai are friends because he's beating the utter poo poo out of her!

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
I was at the DDT show! Very fun, y'all were right.

- Thank you for warning me about the Pheromones stuff, that was rough
- I did not expect Korakuen Hall to be the size of a small high school's gym. That said, it meant my seat was terrific. Pictures!







And approximately two seconds before disaster:



- My four favorites of the show: Yuni (lil' Jeff Hardy!), Kazuki Hirata (my poor boy), Maki Itoh (as advertised), and Saki Akai (moves like a baby deer, actually met her at the concession stand before the show)

On the negative side, you had the misfortune to see Pheromones when in a couple of weeks they'll be no more and we'll all be safe at last.
On the positive side, you had the fortune to see (and meet!) Saki Akai when soon she'll be retired!

Also on the positive side, you got to go to a cool show! Glad you had fun :)

Huh, wonder what he's gonna do. I like his smile and I liked his match with Kento. Best of luck to him.

Does his departure raise or lower the average NOAH wrestler's age?

is it better to be the young ace of a promotion that constantly shits on you or simply a great young wrestler clawing through the shuffle without specifically being shat on

tbh I'd prefer the latter, but hey, I'm not Kaito

I mean God, I thought on this more. AXIZ got back together 4 months ago. Probably their best match this run was vs Soya & Kenoh in their return match, and the only other memorable matches back this run were the All Together Again match with Kojima & Hokuto Omori, and another Soya Kenoh match in June.

Just seems such a waste but that's the NOAH MO these days

A Bad Translation of Nakajima's Tweet posted:

I'm sorry for surprising everyone with my sudden announcement. Nothing has been decided yet, but I hope you understand that I've decided on this turning point. The last two games I'm graduating, expressing my thoughts to NOAH, who has been indebted to me for a long time.

It's a lovely translation so I'm not sure if he's actually saying he's felt indebted to NOAH or if he thinks NOAH should feel indebted to him? Or if he's saying either thing at all?

He'll show up in a less insanely booked promotion. I'm, predictably, hoping All Japan but I wouldn't be stunned if it was Nooj. Though if it's as a member of HoT I may have to set myself on fire in protest. (OK, not really, I'm not that dumb)

It's 100% because of this, yes. See also we had Yusuke Okada coming in for a one shot recently, another victim of Tajiri, who is now safely ensconced in Kyushu Pro, though we are grateful to him for Francesco Akira.

Do note that talent will say they want to work the US as cover for jumping to another promotion and do a couple of dates in the US before returning. See Taiji Ishimori

It's weird, he's clearly very good at it. Maybe they are finally streamlining the production of the Cyberfight companies? I can only guess.
