I may have posted my endearing Valletta story before but anyway - I bought a Gianni Valletta shirt at an AJPW Korakuen and he was extremely thankful and surprised to the point that he was fumbling his pen when he was trying to sign it. He also held the shirt up to me to check the size and told me "it looks so perfect". Then when it was time to pay I only had ¥10k and he had to go over to the staff to get change which made Joe Doering start singing "big man needs to get some change" over and over again very loudly to embarrass him.

If you wanted a bigger reason to watch Final Gate, Marufuji vs Ichikawa is now hair against mask. Also Maru has only a 5 count outside the ring, Ichikawa has 20, and for a pinfall he needs just a 2 count. Stakes don't get higher.

That just reminds me about how the first time it happened, Stardom posted something real broad and diplomatic like "Hey when you come to our shows, be sure to be respectful of the people around you!" and dude's response was to melt down online for several days and demand Sonny be fired for calling him out like that, while simultaneously insisting he hadn't done anything wrong, and that if he had done anything wrong it was okay because he bought a ticket

God, they really are high on Strong Machine J. Dude just went to a time limit draw with Ben-K in his first ever singles match. Meanwhile Susumu Yokosuka's low-effort Natural Vibes dance is once again a highlight.

It's far from perfect, neither he or Larry Dallas are PBP guys and they have stepped on each other from time to time but I really appreciate getting translations of promos on the fly and would quite like to see Jae given a second chance, with someone like Lenny Leonard beside him. When you consider it's the dude's first time commentating, I don't think he did at all bad. Oh, and it seems like we're having a huge shifting of groups. Toryumon, Dragon Gate, RED, with a couple of names like Mochizuki & Gamma making clear they are staying neutral (but Mochi encourages his Dojo boys to get involved) forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 13:38 on Dec 18, 2019 |

I remember the first time I watched Doi Darts & nobody explained the concept and I'm just staring and going "this is wrestling?" From that perspective alone, Jae is a great addition.
