I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I had no idea Mizuki was a freelancer to begin with, but she's got a high ceiling, her corckscrew body press thing is awesome.

For anyone who doesn't know Mizuki, just picture Riho but a lot louder and more energetic.

Stardom had a dark match on 2020's WK, hopefully they bump it up to the main card this year

She was mainly freelance so she could do the one Gatoh Move match a year she does.

Also you forgot the part where Mizuki is a lot more evil than Riho.

To be fair even Mizuki herself probably forgot from time to time. It is kind of funny that she wasn't technically TJPW up until now, since she's easily the most over member on the roster domestically.

Himawari Unagi showed up in Stardom today, teaming with Tam and Mina. She's changed her ring name to Sayaka Unagi, which is an interesting choice since it's also the name of an idol who got kicked out of the group ZOC for underage drinking last year.

Suzu Suzuki lost the ICE x Infinity belt - like, literally lost it. She's still the champion, she just doesn't know where the belt is. Ice Ribbon are using the old ICE x 60 belt as a placeholder until they find or replace it.

I bought a shirt off Suzu at JTO and she told me "I have the same shirt". It made me laugh.

She said she lost the belt on the train so presumably it was after that show. Incidentally I spotted known enemy of Ice Ribbon, Giulia at Suidobashi train station after the show. Coincidence?

i attempted to purchase the original yokohama show that got postponed due to positive COVID tests. pia requires a japanese phone number and i couldn't get around it. honestly even if it was available i don't think i'd be able to do this one as it's not as compelling a card, it's running against kobe world,and most of the people i was planning on attempting to watch yokohama with via a rabbit.tv type deal have comparatively sane, normal, adult sleeping schedules (couldn't imagine personally). this one's at a comparatively less friendly start time

Yeah, 5am is far too early for me to buy a PPV knowing I will inevitably crash at some point during it. Plus I've already got the DG Network so seems a no brainer for me to pick that show. (Actually on that talk I should probably go to bed soon)

Yuki used to be more of a heel than she is now. She did a lot more cheating, eye-poking, etc.; she used to do a spot where she'd stop the match and freak out in English about the other wrestler "touch[ing her] loving hair." She still has some of that energy left but she's toned it down a lot. (I assume you mean Yuki Kamifuku, since Yuki Aino has an immensely powerful natural babyface aura.)

Sakisama and whoever she ropes into Neo Biishiki-gun with her are the main conventional heels of TJPW, but they used to have more cheater/chickenshit/"soft" heels than they do now; Hyper Misao is the only one left, really, and even she gets fewer affectionate boos than she used to. It does feel like Hikari wants to be more of a heel at least, but they probably won't let her go all the way as long as she's in Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling). Other than that, most of the heelishness in any given TJPW match is up to whoever feels a little rude today.

Next time they go back to the "Sakisama takes on a Neo Biishiki-gun protege" well, I hope they give her two henchmen for a change, so that NBG can pose a bigger threat/do more than threaten and/or hold down the tag belts.

Yeah I meant Yuki Kamifuku, she was pretty good. I've been watching Wrestle Princess and stopped after the Hyper Misao vs Saki Akai match

The one who's stood out the most for me so far was Yuna Manase who has some sick powerful lariats

Sakisama has in her employ a Black Jack ripoff named Yukio Saint Laurent (who is absolutely not DDT's Yukio Sakaguchi). He doesn't show up in TJPW very often; he played a bigger part in a storyline a couple years back where he helped Sakisama brainwash the now-retired Azusa Takigawa and turned her into the goth combat nun Azusa Christie.

Most of the TJPW roster has improved by leaps and bounds over the past couple years but Yuki Kamifuku is probably at the top of the list for most improved. I think that's a big part of why she started backing off on the cheaty stuff.

Yuna Manase recently left TJPW as a full-time member, which is unfortunate because she was one of the most experienced members of the roster by a lot, but the promotion she's affiliated with now is another DDT offshoot so she'll probably keep showing up like this every now and then.
