I've been liking what I've seen from Michiko Miyagi in the last few GLEAT shows, but her opponents are usually the exaggerated cartoonish joshi style that I'm not really into, while Miyagi seems a lot more tough and serious. Is her home promotion more like her style, or more like her opponents?

If you're referring to Sendai Girls, it's a mix of both (no Joshi promotion can survive on being fully tough and serious) but tends towards seriousness as far as I can remember. They often link up with Chigusa's Marvelous promotion which should be a indicator of where they lie on the post-Ice Ribbon scale.

GLEAT is her home promotion now.

She's originally from Sendai Girls where ironically she was the most cartoonish. She's getting booked there and Marvelous now as a top heel alongside Hibiki.

AWG is full cartoon. Perhaps the most Idol Joshi promotion to exist. They just had a series of extensive crossovers with ChocoPro.

She still does in Senjo and Marvelous. It was actually AWG which toned down her character which was weird because like fez_machine said, it's probably the most cartoonish promotion or at least vying for it with TJPW.

The dark match of Kawasaki Go was him and Taniguchi fighting for a spot in the N-1. It ended in a double count-out, began again in the ring, Kashin fought dirty and won.

There are SO many wrestlers I'd rather have in this tournament. Yone isn't doing anything. poo poo, bring someone in from DDT for five shows so we could see Hino and Kenoh whack each other around.

Because they're both members of M's Alliance and every faction has been split for the blocks, otherwise we could have had a repeat of the dope Kenoh/Katsu match from the last N-1. Maybe in the semis if NOAH decide to make the absolute worst move possible and have Mutoh beat Kiyomiya for a third time

He was just let go at the start of the pandemic when they let a few coaches go, like Serena Deeb & Ace Steel. I assume it was cost cutting

It did, thanks. I think what actually confused me was the Hard Hit website had 4 teams & the picture had 5 and my brain at 3am couldn't do the process of elimination to work out who was the 5th team. Just waiting for New Japan or Dragon Gate to announce cards for their next weeks shows or otherwise there's not much to happening except that exceedingly long Hard Hit show. Which does look fun. IIRC Sato appears in 5 matches on it

Watching the opening night of the Royal Road tournament. Second show better than the first. For GLEAT fans, Hikaru Sato vs Yoshitatsu is worked shootstyle, as the baffling YT is a shoot guy story continues. It's no SHO vs Takanori Ito but it's fun. Even Devil Murasaki vs TAJIRI was passable wrestling, helped by being short.

The VOW review has great things to say about Aoyagi vs Ashino so I'm excited for that. And Koji Doi vs Koji Iwamoto has the potential to be good

Dan Tamura is really growing his hair out. He needs to start slicking it back to go full sleaze
