Man, SamuraiTV did the 2/1 BJW show rotten, it's 30 minutes less than normal, barely even worth bothering with the opening part of the card. I'm 40 minutes in & it's the co-main event. Which hopefully means Okabayashi vs Kamitani is relatively unedited

Jake Lee was always one of my favorites from Day 1. Never understood the misgivings about his stuff. Good on him for looking for greener pastures if he knew he wasn't going to be booked very well. That El Lindaman main event posted a few days back for the G-Rex title was pretty boss. Guess they have a new follower.

Weekly schedule time. I may have made some errors because my hands are really cold right now & I want to be in a room that isn't this one to actually warm up, so no time for checking it all. The standout show of the week is New Japan vs NOAH, which should be fun if inessential. Other than that? NOAH have another in the long line of Keiji Mutoh retirement series, this time with Sting & Darby Allin on Muta's side. New Japan start the New Beginning tour & I got to write Just 4 Guys a lot & every time I did it made me smile so that's promising. I'm far more excited for the All Japan show though, personally speaking. Kento & Nomura vs Nomura & Aoyagi is exactly what I want from All Japan & I have high expectations. It's 4 of the best wrestlers in the world. I mean, poo poo, one side has my #1 & #9 wrestlers of 2022, the other has my #3 & a guy who would have made it if he had more matches (he had only 21 & a few of those were places like Capture & Real Blood produce shows that are hard to find) 21/1/2023, Saturday 12pm JST/2pm AEST/3am GMT/10pm EST/7pm PST Gatoh Move ChocoPro #287 Singapore Alexis Lee vs Mei Suruga Andruew Tang, Da Butcherman & Dr

I personally thought it was quite funny that the Dragon Gate rookie that people are hyping for WON Rookie of the Year (who I admittedly have not seen a match from; I'm not a Dragon Gate person) didn't place in the top 20 of the Rookie of the Year vote: finishing behind the comedian that worked a single match (Fuwa-chan), a distinctly average Stardom rookie (Miyu Amasaki), a part-time wrestler/porn star (Chanyota) and a rookie from Secret Base that probably has been seen by less than 100 people total. Indeed the top Dragon system rookie on this was... the guy that dropped out and went to DDT instead. This clearly must mean that they actually aren't that good and are being vigorously overhyped...
