Is the Sunday card outside Tokyo? Maybe they want to get two houses for the match and this was the way the order venues lined up.

Lmao what the gently caress was that!!???? I figured the Showcase shows would be New Blood but without limiting it to people new to wrestling but that is certainly not the direction I'd figure they'd go promoting it. What ever this is I'm in, especially if we get more skits like that. Lol

Oh poo poo. That's stacked.

Oh no, it's an early start in Korakuen, 11:30, which means bedtime in the UK. Suppose I can buy it & hope that it is still available as a VOD or that someone uploads it later. Because the amount of great stuff they've put up on YouTube for free I do want to pay it back.

On that, if you don't read the MOTYC thread, go back a couple pages to where I linked a bunch of Sendai Girls & watch the Team 200kg vs Reiwa Ultima Powers from 27/2. It's tremendous

Inaba is a TAKA trainee, part of the first JTO class along with Maika of Stardom, KANON of DDT (not to be confused with Sendai Girl's Kanon), & Hayato Tamura of GLEAT most notably. Probably the easiest match featuring her to find is from TakaTaichiMania 3 this January where she tagged Aoi against a freelancer team of Maya Yukihi & Yuu Yamagata. She has also appeared on both Stardom New Blood shows so far (teaming with Aoi against Hanan & Saya Iida at 1 & against Hanan & Hina at 2). I'd say if you want a taster, I have 2 matches at ***½, the Hanan & Hina match from New Blood 2, & Aoi & Inaba vs Prominence team of Suzu Suzuki & Akane Fujita from 6/5 JTO TakaTaichiMania 2.5.

Yurika Oka is a Sendai Girls trainee, debuted in 2019 like Inaba, she has appeared for a handful of other promotions like GLEAT & Marvelous & SEAdLINNNG in that time. I've given 2 of her matches ***¾ this year, the 10/4 Marvelous show where she faced off with Ai Houzan against Maria & Makoto in the recent tag league they had, & then on the 15/4 Korakuen Anniversary Show she again tagged with Ai against Best Friends.

I can link these if you need that but I've got a bus to catch fairly soon so won't just do it now.

Are TJPW shirt sizes at the show in US or Japanese sizing? I don't want Maki making fun of me for my shirt choice again.

I'm.. I'm not that kind of simp.

Great news! The TJPW wrestlers' individual shirts are handled by the wrestlers themselves and therefore have no guaranteed consistent brand/sizing. (That said, they're most likely to be Japanese sizing.)

For shirts put out by the promotion itself, though, I assume they're the same as the ones DDT uses, and in that case, they're in Japanese sizing, so go up one from your US size.

Not really. There was only really one spot and in most ladder matches anywhere there's much more dangerous stuff being done.

Match was great; although it was incredibly apparent that with the exception of AZM and Koguma everyone else hated doing the thing (Kamitani shouted "I HATE THIS CAGE" as she was escaping and it seemed genuine). Better than the first cage match which was saddled by the rules (basically you had to pin your opponent and then immediately escape to win, and if you were stopped from escaping then you lost your chance unless you pinned your opponent again) and I get the impression that if it was straight escape rules it would be a lot better.

The trios title three-way elimination match was also very good I thought: something that Stardom have gotten very good at doing and which other Joshi promotions can't really do because they have smaller rosters. Undercard was fun from what I saw: missed the opener where I assume Waka lost.

Other developments: the Spooky Skeleton killed Tall Saya and Rossy again but they were OK to appear on the show; they're running the bigger arena in Nagoya for a mid-5 Star big show in August. Guess they'll wait to announce 5 Star blocks until the show in early July after the qualifying tournament is done.

Hazuki seemed to enjoy herself and part of the story of the match was that Mayu and Utami got peer pressured into the match by their more eager partners so them immediately trying to escape the cage after the bell rang was great. I like how they had 2 completely different cage matches. Match one was a lot of this

The portraits for Summer Sun Princess went up for presale on the 30th, and some of them (Yuki Arai first, unsurprisingly, then Hikari Noa, Suzume, and Mei Suruga !) sold out super quickly so I panicked and preordered a few portraits just in case. People really excited about MeiBee Surprise I suppose!
