TJPW is so goddamn good at character development that it completely makes up for how basic almost all of the wrestling is.

it would be cool if Goto carried to Momo to the ring. And they did a sweet stereo warrior pose.

Jungle can't be YOSHI-HASHI, man, come on that's too painful.

Speaking of painful but expected, I've heard confirmation that Meiko is definitely on board with NXT Japan.

I guess it's a day for badly kept secrets to come out

The main event of the TJPW WM Week show in America will be Su Yung vs Yuka Sakazaki for the PoP Championship. The last match they had was a really fun brawl/comedy match

Someone made a recap of the Hyper Misao story in TJPW and it's actually really good, especially if you weren't following all the shows or you're a new viewer. Check it out!

The tournament itself was pretty fun, and nothing beats the ending where Miyu tells everyone if they dance well enough, maybe Koda will buy them all a meal, and then starts dancing like a huge loving dork

Isn't That Right, Chairman?



If this isn't the right thread for this, I apologize, but I wasn't sure where else it would fit.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kayfabe/kayfabe

Lita, Gail Kim, and Christy Hemme are kickstarting a TV show about women's wrestling inspired by real life stories.

quote:

KAYfABE is a one hour professional wrestling show that is 50 percent story and 50 percent in ring action. It is an edgy, racy, cinematic television series about a female led professional wrestling start up. This show is a dramatization and collection of female stories inspired by real life events.

AND YES, this is still at its core, a wrestling show with world-class, in-ring action!

But, in this unique narrative, we take you behind the curtain, into the locker room and outside of the arena. So what does that even mean? What are you watching? Why are these stories worth a poo poo!?

Because we present them with no filter! You get drama, passion, humor, love, anger, frustration and real life challenges. Plus, we address the 800-pound elephant in the room, and in the current landscape of the world... abuse of power, manipulation, injury, addiction, inequality and the euphoric high of pursing your life’s passion that clouds every drat decision.

Seems pretty interesting to me, and it looks like they've got a solid team behind it. Jimmy Jacobs and Chavo Guerrero are both involved, and there are some notable TV names attached. I hope this gets off the ground and they manage to meet their goal, I'm really interested in it.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I actually really want to see that and it sounds like they've actually put a lot of thought and planning into it. A promotion creatively driven by women with decades of experience in the business dealing with stories and problems women have had to deal with in a cinematic style is a very interesting evolution from what we've seen with Lucha Underground, GLOW, and AEW.

But that Kickstarter aspect seems troubling for it ever to actually happen.

David Sahadi is/was a longtime TNA guy and Alisha Edwards, Kim, and Jacobs were all there last I checked. I imagine if they're going Kickstarter no one is throwing them anything but I imagine there's somedegree of wrestler/creative association there.

It is a tiny bit suspicious that they have 2 backers at the $10k level but more power to them if it really is just some money marks rather than someone already involved with it putting in money to make it look better.

Every successful Kickstarter I’ve been privy to the inner workings of (non-physical goods, mainly for theater spaces) has had high rolling donors lined up already to seed the launch or act as matching backers to encourage other donors.

Unless Kagetsu has a husband somewhere she's trying to start a family with, I expect her retirement to last less than two full calendar years at worst. Realistically, I see her either joining a smaller indie within 8 months, joining NXT Japan, or working with a company like DDT/TJPW, AEW, Impact, or ROH.

I don’t know her personal situation and this maybe entirely baseless but I’m gonna hazard a guess that it’s not a husband.

I’m more certain she’s not gonna wrestle for a while. If at all.

Isn't Daniel Bryan's? Or Sheamus? Or Edge? If she gets good rest she can still pump out a couple good matches while she's still under 30. I don't know the full gravity of her situation either and I know she tried to retire before, but there's that :tinfoil: theory around that Bushi Road is the one that pushed her into retirement.
