I just realized I'm not grossed out by Nick Gage having his blood drained by thumbtack jack and being revived in the back of a helicopter like Joseph Joestar with deej as Jotaro, but I am grossed out by lollipops and tampons

US media ratings standards made you this way.

In Europe people stick crotch lollipops in other people's mouths freely in the streets.

the future of gross wrestling spots is a wrestler reverse birthing another wrestler while the crowd chants and claps THIS IS WRESTLING, Jim Cornette finally dies and the prophecy is fulfilled.

Kayfabe, yes, in as much as addressing why it's considered excessively gross and getting the attention it is. I mean, the shoot side is a gimmicked bit of cotton being stuck in someone's mouth which is as controversial as Mr. Socko.

I'm watching Ice Ribbon Ribbonmania 2018 now and the real most disgusting thing in wrestling is Maya Yukihi talking with her mouth full of cookies on commentary.

Selected shows and they haven't done them for a while. The guy who does the English translations told my friend that they've lost a few production staff or something so they aren't doing them right now.

This would kick rear end. It sounds like the improvements are going to be pretty substantial and I'm a-ok with a price upgrade. It'd be great to have full shows up instead of match by match, or at least all matches at once, but not necessary.

If it's the match I'm thinking of, it's vinegar (but like, a flavored vinegar you're supposed to drink, it just doesn't taste good) and they have to take a swig every time they say an English word

It might have been. It was Hyper Misao vs the Kaiju.

On another note, it's something else to see Yuki and the Kaiju team up for the 1/3/18 show (Reika/Miyu main event) only to see them later in the year on different tag teams. Wonder what the story is there.

Yuka and Shoko were regular partners. They had a shuffle tag tournament with the winners getting the vacant tag titles last year and Yuka got paired up with Mizuki to build a match between Mizuki and Maki Itoh.

Then after Mizuki and Itoh made up, Shoko challenged Yuka/Mizuki with Mizuki's former tag team partner Riho as her partner.

(the other team on that 1/4 show was Mizuki/Riho just to add to the story)

I'm gonna see Bakuretsu Sisters vs. Miyu and Reika on Sunday and I'm convincing myself the sisters are going to win!! This cannot possibly backfire!!

(In my defense Miyu and Reika have not been a super winning tag team in the past and Nodoka has pinned Miyu clean)

It's a good article but is there a reason he only interviewed the male heads of women's promotions? There was an interview with Meiko today that touched on similar issues wrt drawing a female audience.

Rossy's comments about how women won't pay to see women are obviously a self-fulfilling prophecy and the Stardom crowd is far more gender imbalanced than at other wrestling shows. I'd put it at 95-5 men to women at best. Meiko said Sendai gets 60-40 or 70-30 in her interview.

each match opens with english subbed promos from the competitors so its pretty straight forward from there. Also matches with post-match in ring promos are subbed as well. There really isn't much to it other than Oedo Tai are rowdy heels, JAN are the badass tweeners, Queens Quest are haughty heels, and STARS are all the innocent babyfaces.

I watched his "Brief Guide to the Stardom Roster" video and I think I'm already in love with Tam Nakano.

I'm not sure what Tam's relationship is with Onita but one of her early matches is an explosion death match and it makes her even more wonderful.

If you get a chance, watch the Tam's life special where she spends christmas with Kris Wolf.
