I'm trying to get in to TJPW and I have 2 questions:

2) Why does someone have Old MacDonald as an entrance theme?

I don't think they've given a date for the end of the Japanese bracket, but the finals themselves are at Revolution on the 7th. Presumably the bracket would end on the 1st if they're airing a round each Monday.

AEW would be dumb to let someone they are booking in a tournament final to take a booking in Japan three days before for a litany of reasons - the main one being that its not exactly a rather wide time window for her to work that show, get a COVID test, get her results and then get on a plane. And that's ignoring the fact that the US could bring in further restrictions in the next few weeks: and if I was in AEWs shoes I'd be working on the assumption that they will. And that's ignoring that they probably have their own procedures they have to follow: I doubt PAC is flying in the day before his Dynamite appearances for example.

For what its worth Ryo Mizunami isn't on the card for the next SEAdLINNNG show and I believe she's been on every SEAd show since last January.

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.
There's three girls I know of on the JP side that should theoretically be booked for matches but are absent so maybe they're all "pulling out" of bookings as an anti-spoiler.

Hana Kimura memorial show on May 23rd at Korakuen Hall organised by Kyoko. The notes app stuff basically says that after repeated discussions with Bushiroad, they've accepted that they made mistakes with their handling of Hana and they'll try their best to protect their athletes going forward. She doesn't want money from them for the event but she wants photos/videos of Hana and the use of Stardom athletes for the event

I appreciate the confidence Stardom has to give Utami a gimmick where she carries a rose to the ring to give to a female audience member because sometime she has to really search.

It depends if you were to only drop in for major shows (like I do), in which case they have eight Korakuen shows this year and Wrestle Princess. If you're looking to do the other stuff it probably averages to once a week. They're rarely on the long side, especially now. Wrestle Princess went long last year but it didn't feel like it

if you're UK based the shows will either be in the middle of the night or they'll be early morning. So their last big show (Positive Chain) was at 11:30AM Japan Standard Time, which is 2:30AM GMT. Wrestle Princess (basically their Wrestlemania) was 3PM, which is 6AM GMT. For their touring shows they tend to double book with DDT, so you'll get the TJPW show at 12PM followed by the DDT show at 5:30PM

My usual tactic is not to watch live but to watch the next morning.

EDIT:

It is, which is sucky. Thankfully Wrestle Universe are pretty good at getting their livestreams turned into VOD fairly fast. There's more of a delay when the shows aren't airing live though.

for a while they were doing a bunch of shows that were good for uk times but lately it's been all mega late, which is a shame.

re: the scheduling, they do roughly one show a week but they usually take the week before a big show off, or they do something insane like this week where they're running saturday and sunday.

They run once or twice a month in Shinkiba and have no championships and usually don't have any long running stories (though they have a feud with Sendai Girls going on right now and a story about one of their roster being a loose cannon) so it's easy just to jump in at any show and enjoy it. I've mainly been following to watch the development of the rookies who started around the time I started watching them.

They've got a niconico channel and they're running live shows as PPV for the duration of the pandemic. They're one of the less accessible promotions right now because very few of those PPVs are being archived by pirates.

MARVELOUS is basically Chigusa Nagayo's Gatoh Move/Ice Ribbon. There's a lot of cuteness and the personal touch connection with the fans, but the emphasis is on good to great wrestling over characters.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QeOs48QYeo

It's largely about her trainees, workrate matches, and presents itself as a successor to the AJW/Gaea style.

Warning: traces of those promotions' training attitudes still exist in MARVELOUS, while mild I've seen occasional things on dojo streams that make me go "hmm".

While matches are mostly on NicoNico, there's still a lot of stuff on Youtube, especially during the Covid era:

Marvelous Youtube

Notably for modern Joshi it has a noticeable female following.
