TJPW posted a highlight video on their YouTube channel for a bowling fan event they did.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCaNKmqvlP0

1. We are blessed today with casual outfits

2. It is very, very clear who has bowled before, and who has never been in a bowling alley their entire life. The rabbit managed to gutter ball both sides on the same throw, which is certainly something.

Lucky! Did he mention how bad Miyu was at bowling? Because Kaya looked like she knew what she was doing, so Miyu must have been bad to bring the team average down that much.

I know many disagree with my transparency, but I think if more companies were transparent, it would be a better business.
Sukeban is pulling SAKI, Yuu and Yukihi from the March 24 show.
My very reputable helper in Japan had agreed to fees and schedules with the wrestlers since they had visas to enter the US.
Sukeban informed me that the visas the wrestlers have are only good for Sukeban shows. Sukeban said it could be ‘career-threatening’ for the wrestlers if they entered the US with improper visas.
Agreed!
The wrestlers were unaware they were not able to wrestle in the US for other companies since other Sukeban wrestlers have been able to.
I hold no hard feelings toward the wrestlers. They did not know.
Not sure where to go from here.
I don’t have supreme amount of finances to bring in anyone I want at anytime I want.
I will do my best to fill out the card.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
He was an idiot for tweeting the first thing and I think the most recent tweet is even more stupid and actually removes his initial argument about trying to do everything above board. His show is also currently booked for a city that actively enforces a city code provision banning all pro wrestling so he probably should be trying to get another venue elsewhere (heard somewhere he’s talking to the city but like the actual code is super explicit in banning it; this isn’t some 1950s law pretending pro wrestling is real).

It also may well hurt other places if that provision is right - perhaps they were booking Sukeban wrestlers under the table with the implicit permission of them and now won’t be able to as they’ll be more protective of their investments (and future chance of endorsing more) - or perhaps it’s weird legal poo poo where Sukeban has to legally employ them for US dates with money going to them first and this wasn’t that: immigration law gets stupid all over the world.

It’s just a silly situation all the way around - doing a show clearly fishing for fly-ins the week before a Mania weekend with Stardom (well what remains) and TJPW shows: exposing other promotions for using tourist visas (let’s be honest well over 50% of international wrestlers working the US on the indies are doing so questionably) and then possibly loving around the fans and wrestlers they do get by running a show in a place that will shut them down for simply trying.

An explanation I saw on reddit from when the tag titles were vacant.

quote:

I'll put it in spoilers then since it is rumors and gossip, so someone can choose whether or not they want to read it.

People may or may not be aware of Hikari's super fan (I'll avoid their name) if they're active on twitter, said super fan being self-admittedly a little... unbalanced. Hikari, though, struck up a friendship with said fan (a woman) who did things like drive her home from shows, talked with her on LINE, etc. Recently, said fan wanted to hang out but Hikari turned her down saying that she wasn't feeling well only for the fan to see that she was hanging out with other people that day.

So the fan, now pissed, decided to start spilling the beans on twitter. According to the fan, Hikari also leaked stuff like certain collaborations months in advance and was sharing screenshots of the UUG group chat on LINE. So now a fan had information that would allow her to then directly contact the other UUG members if she wanted (no idea if she ever did), leak it, and so on.

The hanging out with a fan thing is "bad" but probably would have just gotten Hikari a reprimand. The other stuff is way worse. Hikari's "illness" is probably a cover for a suspension and there's probably a not at all insignificant chance that she could be fired. Nao seemed pretty unhappy and talked about focusing on only herself going forward which is a weird reaction to have to someone supposedly being sick.

Grain of salt and all that, but from what I read, and some of what I saw on Twitter is this: allegedly

Hikari befriends a fan. This isn't an issue, as more than a few of the TJPW roster started out as fans that became friendly with the wrestlers.

Hikari becomes good friends with this fan, going as far as hanging out with them on her off time, and in one instance, letting that fan drive her home after a match one night. Maybe a little bit of an issue, especially with the accepting a ride home part, but ok.

Hikari has a bit of a falling out with said friend; friend wanted to hang out with Hikari, Hikari declines, saying that she's too sick to hang out. Friend then finds out from social media that Hikari had actually blew her off and was hanging out with other people.

Turns out, this "friend" is actually kind of an unhinged lunatic, and starts posting on Twitter screenshots of the conversations that they were having with Hikari.

In those screenshots, it allegedly appears that Hikari was telling this person about upcoming plans for both TJPW and Up Up Girls, including screenshots of the Up Up Girls group chats (and I don't believe it was chats with just UUP (p), but with members of the other UUG groups). As you can imagine, this is a big, big problem if there was a chance that Hikari gave someone (accidentally or not) contact information of other members in UUG or TJPW.

Idols already have stalker issues in general, and a few members of TJPW have already had issues with stalkers harassing them (I think the last time was that one dude who kept threatening to kill Wakana), and CyberFight put out a release about legal action against people that harass any of their staff that one time because both Nao and Kamiyu were getting harassed by I think some other crazy guy.

So if true, Hikari hosed up big time, and should be glad she wasn't outright fired.

If you saw in the press conference TJPW had when they announced the tag belts were getting vacated, Nao didn't look like someone who was sad or frustrated that her first belt had to be given up due to her partner getting hurt, her demeanor and the things she said looked like someone who knew what happened as was very unhappy about it.

This also probably explains why Uta already has her idol outfit, and has been performing with UUG (p) in both UUG shows and at some TJPW shows well ahead of her in-ring debut.
