Was quite surprised to see Hartley Jackson getting the win, fun match.

I know Dan is now head coach of the All Japan sponsored amateur wrestling team so I always dig seeing him in this environment

I only just remembered Minoru Tanaka was meant to be in this one instead of Daisuke Nakamura, missed that change

Some real fun grappling in this match

I didn't even see what happened, went to put the kettle on and it was over. A shoot head kick or something?

Why has Kendo Kashin stolen Sakuraba's look, except to remind us of someone better?

The arm bar from the man himself should always finish the match

lmao Fujiwara doing DDT spots

Kashin stealing merch and taking it to the ring is great even if the match wasn't

Is it still going? I just turned it on and they immediately turned off the lights, perhaps because they don't want me to know they're there?

Red dude is getting his rear end beat!

Edit: Haha as I posted that he did a sick suplex that landed blue guy on his neck.. and blue guy IMMEDIATELY turned it into an armbar.

HE JUST DID IT AGAIN! :pusheen:

I had completely missed that Kenta Kobashi's Fortune Dream 9 show already had another match announced

Masato Tanaka & Unagi Sayaka vs Naruki Doi & Risa Sera on top of the already announced Daimonji So vs Go Shiozaki

And now on top of that we get Chihiro Hashimoto & Yuu vs Meiko Satomura & Takumi Iroha. God Kobashi is such a good booker, at least for these once a year shows

The Central Asian (Uzbek? I forget) Olympic silver winning wrestler that was originally among the names announced has vanished. Instead, have Santino Marella?

The IWGP Heavyweight champion is facing an MMA fighter. Inokiism will never die

Tbf I'm interested, apparently he was good at this poo poo but I dunno if he can still go after his injuries.

Edit: It would have been funny if he went as Boris Alexiev.

He's technically not even done a sport outside of MMA before; that changes in a week, he has his first bare-knuckle boxing fight next Saturday against Ben Rothwell in BKFC

I should say for anyone who hasn't noticed, we've got a dedicated Champion Carnival thread this year, started by apophenium: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4058574

If you've not been watching live then let me tell you, you gotta catch Kento vs Ren Ayabe. Great match

Smile. Win. Yay!

First time i'm taking a good look at that bloodsport card and it's goddamn insane. Abe vs Iizuka looks far and away the best looking match (Sato vs H. Suzuki could be a close second) but Shrek vs Rampage might bring the show to a screeching halt for how lovely it is, Barnett coming out like Inoki screaming BULLSHIT

Keen for more Maya Fukuda, she's pretty much the only GLEATer that didn't embarass themselves during the MMA showcases and actually looked pretty comfortable out there

I still can't get over Santino Marella vs Kazushi Sakuraba. And that's even knowing he went to Battlarts in the mid-00s and got to face guys like junji.com & Yuki Ishikawa
