They have some original songs, but their famous concerts with the Red Army Orchestra were all covers or Russian/Finnish folk songs. Which I guess would also be a cover.

In Excuse me sir, but there appears to be some booking on my NOAH show news, during a recent tag match KENTA hit his own partner with a chair and joined DISOBEY, aka the heel group. Rudo KENTA has the potential to be amazing.

gently caress yeah! So glad it happened before the UK Tour. I get to see heel-KENTA! Also, Chris Hero has just been confirmed for the UK NOAH tour as well (they're announcing one every week) so Claudio's probably going as well. If you're in the UK and love wrestling, you have no excuse not to go.

And since Hero is announced, Claudio is pretty much a lock to be there as well. I'd also be very shocked if Morishima wasn't there. They're announcing the roster one week at a time.

From WO: MVP's debut with New Japan Pro Wrestling on 2/20 in Sendai was actually covered today on the TMZ.com web site. The reason was they had to work through a lot of red tape because of MVP's conviction for kidnapping and armed robbery and difficulty getting him a Visa to work in Japan. TMZ said he's agreed to wrestle there for one year.

Very curious to see how he does. Good for him for checking a life long goal off the list too.

I haven't watched any of them and I *especially* don't watch current joshi. Nothing about Smash seems appealing to me.

SMASH is a really low budget Japanese indie romp that almost borders into art territory. Taijiri basically gets an idea, books it and doesn't care if it draws.

Watch it if you like:
-Taijiri
-random international stars
-Joshi

Its kinda lucha kinda euro in the matchwork style. You don't really see a lot of strong style stuff. So if you're expecting two bulls to go out there and chop each other down, you will be very disappointed.

It's more that he's using his connections to differentiate SMASH from the 15 other Tokyo-based indy groups that run the same small venues.

Press Conference for the IWGP tag title match in a couple weeks:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDizIWws3IA

Backstory: Bernard & Anderson are the champs. They're pissed because their opponents were voted best team of the year by Tokyo Sports despite not being together long or accomplishing anything.

I know it's 20 minutes but if you skip Nakanishi and the translations it's a breeze and really fun.

Karl Anderson's promo is awesome. It's formula 101 but he honestly seems pissed.

I'm sitting there with a list going through person by person and feeling out how long I'm going to have. So, like, Rikio and Ogawa were not going to be asked about if I sensed he wanted to wrap it up. But he was game and I went through everyone!

SMASH is making money from what I can tell. They're small shows, but they sell out and the tickets are abnormally expensive. I mean, obviously, it's probably a Yakuza front, but let's not split hairs.

Well you can say "probably a yakuza front" about a lot of things, that doesn't mean they sell out.

You can usually reach someone by IM or PM DarkLotus any time of day, it seems like.

NOSAWA, the omnipresent mediocrity, managed to do four crimes within the span of a minute.

He was drunk, and wanted a taxi ride to his hotel. Taxi driver didn't know how to get there (this is common for some reason) so NOSAWA argues with him, gets out, opens the driver's door, pulls the driver out, and starts driving for a little ways until the cops pull him over. So:

-Assault
-Drunk driving
-Stealing a taxi
-And he didn't have his driver's license

Now, let's see if he goes to jail before Jeff Hardy!
