I'm at least relieved to find out that Tom Lister isn't competing for the Triple Crown in 2015 and that their Zeus is some Osaka Pro guy.

I'm glad that he's at least doing something out of the Osaka Pro guys who aren't Harada/Kotoge. Seems everyone else kind of just stuck to Kuuga's company and indies so small they aren't getting reported.

I'm sure only like three people care, but Akebono has won the Champion Carnival and will be facing Shiozaki for the Triple Crown title on 5/21, but not before defending the tag titles against Shiozaki and Miyahara on 5/6

I don't think so. It was actually Konnan of all people, who taught Bret the Sharpshooter. Choshu's experience when he did the excursion deal was with George Cannon's office in Windsor/Detroit.

I mean, Takagi is obviously a good promoter but the real reason DDT is successful is that it's genuinely different from the dozens of other small Tokyo-based promotions and has a loyal fanbase that it cultivated over the last 15 years. Not sure how much he can do to "turn things around".

I don't think he would attempt a springboard moonsault given what happened last time. In fact, I don't think he's even working. I think he probably retired. Bottom line: I don't think he can walk well enough to participate in any physical strenuous activities, of which professional wrestling is included.
