A unit disbands match being 3 vs 4 is a weird choice

It's 100% on me for not knowing much Japanese but I have no idea why Miyagi is back. She lost to Unagi and quit GLEAT, went to Ice Ribbon for a couple of months, and is now back repping GLEAT again and picking up the feud with Unagi.

4 vs 3 seems a tad unfair for this unit dissolution match, but suppose one of the 4 is Check Shimatani

I'm pretty sure Miyagi leaving was a work, with the idea being she got pissed off having to carry around this small teenager. At least that's how I read it

60 Seconds lasted longer than I thought but it was an inevitability, BULK still need to win the tag belts back from the Saitos

I was looking at my MOTYC spreasheet and Kento has nearly lapped the field. It's him at 15, Yuma at 11, then nothing until Okada with 7

loving love that guy. I thought his selling was tremendous & really made Ito look good.

At the same time lol at Ito losing in his first defence, to an outsider. Goddammit GLEAT, incapable of getting behind one of their non-STRONGHEARTS guys.

When I saw the GLEAT MMA logo on screen I panicked but sounds like it's just one match?

Also Hiromu, Atsuki &...was that Jun Tonsho? Against Kaz Hayashi, CIMA & Minoru Tanaka sounds fun

OH AND KOTA IBUSHI

GLEAT Ver.MEGA is a silly name though. Just called it Ver.7

So yeah, if you didn't watch GLEAT Ver.7, it was good & after the last match they played a VT which was a tease of a guy shadowboxing & then they just showed us it was Kota Ibushi & he's on the 4th August GLEAT Ver.MEGA

What's even better is you can still tweet fine, you just can't read anything anyone else says. Somehow making it even more shouting into the void than it used to be.

It is amazing how little Elon seems to understand how people use the website he spent tens of billions on.

If he just shut the thing down the second he bought it he'd at least saved a little money on bills and rent, doing it this way just seems daft.

Highly recommend checking this show out, it's the most interesting Kobe card they've had in a while.

That Omori/Tanizaki vs GoA match was real goddamn weird, it seemed like they were doing a legit injury thing with Honda then it got a bit too slapstick for my liking with Masao failing to drag his dead weight to the corner for a tag. Then after that they do a stretcher job for Honda, the whole thing is just off

These All Japan vs 2AW matches seem sweet though, Kento vs Ayato and Omori vs Kengo will bang

e2: Wasn't feeling Atsuki vs Linda as much as I thought, but Inoue as the first challenger should be tasty

e3: Oh poo poo, Omori challenging for the Triple Crown

Decided to check out VAMOSTAR for the first time with their June 1st show. It was cool seeing Koji Doi again even if it were against Joji Otani and got to see my boy Yusuke Kodama in a threeway with Daimonji So, who has a great look but seems pretty limited in ring. And KONO is in the main event teaming with Kohei Sato and not doing the Voodoo Murders gimmick, everything's coming up Millhouse

Brackets for King of Gate 2023, with some alterations:

1) Strong Machine J aggravated his shoulder again. He's off the Korakuen this week but his 1st round match against Kanda is still undecided, so it might not be that severe.
2) Diamante has pulled out of KoG, and Susumu gets a 2nd round Bye. This could either be because of that gnarly arm bump when Shun dragged him down from the cage, or just kayfabe as he reinvents himself as The Most Handsome Man.

My pick is Minoura this year. Ben-K is a good bet too but I don't think he needs the win for a title shot. Minoura needs to earn his because his last two title shots were him forcing himself into the main event, and it hasn't done him any favors.
