This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

That’s a great video. Mitsuru was definitely my favorite when i started watching chocopro, she brought the edge in the matches that made it clear it was more than just a comedy wrestling show.

I think this might interest people that post in this thread so I thought I’d share it.

Sendai Girls have been uploading a load of random older matches for the last week (right when Meiko was announced as being signed for WWE) including this one where Mei teams with Meiko against Team 200KGs (Sendai Girls ace Chihiro Hashimoto and freelancer and former TJPW wrestler Yuu; named because of their collective desire to bulk up to a combined weight of 200kgs) which never aired anywhere before. It’s not outstanding but it’s fun: what you’d expect from a house show main event. Good example of how she works in a more traditional promotion: there was a match in 2019 where MeikoMei faced Sareee and Yuu that’s very good if you can find that.

It's a shame Mei Suruga never got brought back in TJPW, she was so good in her one match and seeing her regularly in a promotion like TJPW would have done great things for her profile.

So many good little character moments in that match and the janken tournament.

From OZ Academy's April 2019 Korakuen Hall show if you can track it down, Sakura Hirota & Command Bolshoi vs Gabai Ji-chan & Aja Kong. Aja joins in on his shtick and it's really good seeing goofy Aja.

This show was like the day after Shida got announced for AEW and she dropped the title to Ozaki in the main event and after the match Ozaki cut this really snide "enjoy America" promo and Shida got mad and threw her kendo stick and it almost hit me in the face.

Sounds like you should be watching Pro Wrestling BASARA then, as that's his home promotion.

(And more importantly Fuminori Abe's. Speaking of Abe, Gatoh Move feels the only indie he doesn't work. Should sort that out.)

Oh, he did actually work for them last year, tagging with Rin Rin vs Emi and Masa.

There has been some new faces in the ChocoChat after the AEW announcement, and it is fun to see them all go down the exact same path we all did:

1. This looks low rent as hell, are they in someone's living room?
2. This is profoundly silly
3. This is the greatest promotion in the world

I feel like a month or two ago I couldn't stomach the low-budget production but after watching that free TJPW show on youtube I don't even care. It's better than the one RevPro show I watched.

Yeah, so far for me, ChocoPro's magic is that it's not explicitly a comedy promotion, but they keep things light-hearted and let silliness and comedy flow naturally.

The DIY low budget aspect is actually a huge reason I enjoy chocopro. It emphasizes that they’re doing this because they enjoy it, and it helps tell the personal stories they’re telling.

I legit thought it was because of the pandemic

it sucks they're no longer making tape now that they're separate from DDT

I was hoping it'd be a TJPW or NOAH type deal, officially separate but still producing stuff to watch

oh well there's still 3 years worth of events to watch on Wrestle Universe

Edit: cagematch says they're putting stuff on NicoNico but that's hard to call easily accessible

Some of their stuff also makes SamuraiTV which generally makes it easier to find on various foreign tube sites. Like BASARA 146: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1nv411e7vy

I will say it's a fairly non-essential show, Abe is in a squash. But there's a match between 2 guys with Ryu in their name for the rights to the name Ryu so.
