CHOCOPRO #183: TWO MATCHES FOR THE ROAD
WATCH LIVE ON YOUTUBE HERE
Time: 10am (JST) / 1am (GMT) / 5pm (PST) / 8pm (EST)

Below is Super Fan Dogglesnake's match guide for tonight from Reddit. Found HERE

quote:

Cherry Returns! (Maybe)

Choun Shiryu & Cherry VS Chie Koishikawa & Tokiko �Otoki� Kirihara

The Interim Super Asia Champion (and ChocoPro's Dragon) Choun Shiryu returns to action! While on paper he will be pairing up with the violent Fortune Teller Cherry (who is a real fortune teller, mind you)...and in the past, they have tagged together (especially in Gatoh Move)...it wouldn't surprise me if she is replaced by a mysterious stranger known as Che Lee. That other combatant, just like Cherry, has a knack for ground work and striking. She came to aid Sayuri in the past when Choun Shiryu was unable to make it for a show! She is also very entertaining and skilled, so regardless of who shows up to assist the Dragon, it will be a great match. I've heard there is even black leather wearing Rabbit that is sometimes associated with Cherry! Can you imagine? Anyhow, Choun Shiryu will definitely be in the match at least...and he is the champ for a reason! The Dragon's style is flashy and stylistically pleasing to the eye, with him treating every match like it is a fight scene from a Kung Fu film. Choun has a history of fighting against Cherry as much as he has along side her, but this tension usually creates an interesting synergy when the bell rings. Expect these two veterans to show the Fourth Generation the wrath of a seasoned wrestler!

They will be taking on two members of the Fourth Generation: �Too Much Energy� Chie Koishikawa, the Frantic Fencer (who does lightning quick knuckle chops!), and �Iron Body� and Comaneci enthusiast Tokiko �Otoki� Kirihara...the Super Rookie (who does powerful kickboxing strikes)! Chie is better known for her pairing with the icy Hagane Shinno in EGG TART, while Otoki usually teams with Antonio Honda in Black Comaneci or Sayaka in Othello. (Speaking of which, enjoy the day off, MVP!) Chie has been expanding her stretch muffler variants and working on new ways to deliver her flash strikes, while Otoki has been increasing her Comaneci influenced pins and submissions...and still dishes out ungodly heavy blows! �Golden� Otoki can even put the Ace on his back! Between Chie's rapid growth and Otoki's fierce determination, the Veterans will not have an easy go of this bout. The Fourth Generation is a collection of rising stars and isn't to be underestimated! (Even the one that is in GLEAT, now...) Expect some fast exchanges and surprising submissions!

The Ace's Revenge

Baliyan Akki VS Shin Suzuki

Baliyan Akki is the Zephyr of Ichigaya, but luckily he seems to have been cured of his curse from last season. This breezy combo striker is going to be at the pinnacle of Ichigaya...and someday, the world itself! That is the destiny of this multi-talented star in the making. He's known for his commentary (on ChocoPro, TJPW, and occasionally NOAH!) as much as his incredible technique...and he's been appearing for DDT, AJPW, MichiPro & GanPro! Finally, the Winds of Change seem to be behind Baliyan Akki once again. The Ace never forgets, though. He seeks to right the ship entirely, and to do so means correcting the mistakes of the last season...beginning with his Draw to Shin Suzuki! Akki's toolkit available is immense, he has a fantastic level of technical skill, a surprising mastery of high flying, and an overwhelming �elite� presence! Akki is among the top of the promotion for good reason! What does the future hold for Akki? He is through the Blizzard, it is time to claim his destiny. This is merely the first step!

Shin Suzuki returns once again! Shin has been a good fit for the promotion so far. (Some people just get the unique presentation of ChocoPro instantly.) The bearer of the Black Heart emoji teaches children at the Heat Up dojo, where he also wrestles. His warm personality meshes well with the general vibe of Ichigaya...and honestly, dealing with kids comes in handy in this den of goblins and hooligans! Much like many of the recurring guests for the online promotion, he has appeared across a wide variety of the Japanese independent scene. In his few appearances, his unique personality and athletic prowess endeared him to the audience quickly. (Wrestling as a Fake version of another character is always a good crowd pleaser!) However, this teacher is going to need to take special care when handling his opponent this time...because Akki is gunning for him. While Shin's relaxed nature can be disarming, he had better be on guard...because he is being hunted by a Wolf! Lucky for him that he is no slouch when it comes to pro-wrestling, this match should be a barn burner.

Destiny calls to Baliyan Akki. The hard road is only beginning!

As a project I've been going back and watching the pre-covid/chocopro Gatoh Move Experiences on Fite.tv https://www.fite.tv/vl/p/gatoh-move/

Here's my notes on Episode 1 of Gatoh Move Experience:

Gatoh Move Japan Tour #399 12/30/2018

Matches
Riho vs An Chamu 4 stars
Riho is very smooth and An Chamu is very charismatic. Riho's style works great at this level of intimacy.

Saki vs Mei Suruga 4 stars
The crowd is electric for Mei's 65th match and 7 months out from her debut. Definitely the funniest of the matches.

Baliyan Akki, Emi Skaura, Masahiro Takanashi vs Mitsuru Konno, Sawasdee Kamen, Sayaka Obihiro. 2 stars
If you've seen an Ichigaya Emi multiman you've seen this one

Tea
An Chamu self-depricates and wins Sakura's most photogenic
Riho promotes her hoodie
Mei practices her English
Saki had 165 matches in Tokyo this year, her 6th. Pitches her towel. Emi praises her Karouken Hall main event. It took 12 years for Emi to reach that acheivement. Saki receives the brave fight award.
Mitsuru promises to clean up Ichigaya of the three evils Akki, Takanashi and Emi
Obi asks for a Bollywood tag team with Akki
Sawasdee wins the Hero award for watching his matches back in front of others
Akki says Gatoh Move is his family, Emi forces Akki to say it again in English
Emi tries to name everyone in the audience because they're family but it becomes clear that she's just naming wrestlers and fighters

Cake comes out for Saki's 6th anniversary

Emi forces Saki to book the next show, because as a top act she'll have to book cards in the near future (which she is! Saki just formed her own promotion out of the ashes of AWG)
Takanashi is thanking everyone individually when the photos are being taken so he has to be dragged back
Everyone goes around the room thanking the audience
