Yes, but imagine if she was working GanJo shows or something I was already going to watch. Extra effort on my part is a bridge too far

Unagi got an obscene number of streamers on that Ganpro show.

Now I'm curious if Suzuki got any and if it pissed him off that people were throwing stuff at him.

No streamers for Suzuki, best reaction we got from him was a big grin right before he stepped into the ring for Kaze ni Nare

Suzuki never gets them: I assume because he’s a New Japan guy and they have basically never done them.

Reportedly Stardom aren’t bringing them back which would be a massive shame: always think they add something. Faff to clean up though so I get why the promotions might not want the hassle

I have to say, at SSP '22 last night, after the show ended, I saw three guys carrying huge garbage bags full of streamer remnants. Even during the show, the TJPW women at ringside were having a difficult time stuffing all of it underneath the ring because there was so much of it.

I thought it was worth it but I was not one of those staff hauling it out!

This is precisely why Dragongate stopped save retirements. The company has to throw away several giant bags of streamers each show and they’re the one responsible, not the venues, so it makes life a lot easier for them.

It also feels like it doesn’t scale that well: if you are running Shinkiba and it’s 300 people then it’s more manageable but if you are doing 5,000 in Sumo Hall (which Stardom may well do in the next few years) then there’s more streamers to get rid of; especially including the ones that don’t make it to the ring. I know that NOAH went to no steamers except on Korakuen shows and I think that could be a good compromise if you wanted to keep the tradition going.

People allude to streamers having to be made or treated. Are there any reasons why? Also, are there any tutorials available?

Weird that she's doing US booking before doing any other Japan bookings but I'm here for it. Hope Tony gets her for an AEW appearance or two. Kyona deserves good things.

Hirage Kurumi wrestling a proper match for the first time since June 2021! (Also don't think I realised she has been wrestling for 12 years, of course she started when she was 10)

Just watched the Tam Natsupoi cage match and boy did the rules drag it down. There were some great moments but you needed to get a pinfall before being allowed to try and climb out. Which was just bad, because you end up with a lot of 3 counts that would never be 3 counts and that really distracted me. Shame, still a good match but let's never do that stip again

The fightful report on Jungle Kyona made reference to Sumie Sakai helping her get bookings so maybe there's something there?

I don't think any wrestler is flying in just for Deadlock, they're taking advantage of people coming in for American tours. I don't see why it's remarkable that they can book talent.

A couple of them have only flown in for Deadlock actually. Miyuki Takase and Yuu, I'm pretty sure.
