Looks like he's a member of a JPop group which may explain why the crowd was so loving hot for the main event, I'm guessing a lot of his fans were there? Or maybe because the match was drat good!

For any of the casual AJPW watchers, Friday's VOD show was pretty fun, but like house show fun rather than essential viewing. It was nice seeing Omori again. And for Jiro's match, someone in the crowd had a cardboard Jiro where you could could pull a tab on the back & it opened his shirt, it was very cool. I need to gif that later.

The almost complete lack of crossover between the fanbases of men's & women's promotions is fascinating. Stardom having NJPW in their top 10 & that's it.

Also BJW fans being the least interest of male promotion fans in New Japan checks out.

That is possibly stardom fans that were originally njpw fans? The women promotions are extremely segregated with the big men's promotions at least getting some crossover.

It's really fascinating data.

I always like to reflect that 2 of the best women of their generation, Hikaru Shida & Tsukasa Fujimoto, got their start in wrestling after training to play wrestlers for some TV project & deciding to stick with it. We also got incredible weirdo Miyako Matsumoto out of that so all in all not bad.

I hope the DDT is even half as good as Fujimoto

Fun fact: Shoko started training in stuntwork after/during that cameo because she enjoyed it so much, and that's where she met the bird girl. Also why Kaya Toribami's moves are much wilder than traditional tjpw trainees (or even lucha-based trainees), she was training to be a stunt-woman before picking wrestling

Yamashita being carried away in cuffs wearing full gear makes me giggle every time I see it

We also don't see Yamashita defeated in her fight so I can only assume she kept beating the Just For Men Your Beard is Weird Spokesman down till she got surrounded by cops with guns and said,"Yeah... that seems like the right number of guns :clint:" and surrendered.

Also, & I appreciate this is a long shot, but does anyone know what the gently caress the deal with the ZERO1/REAL ZERO1 thing? Because the Zero1 website didn't have any info on their Sunday Korakuen show. And having eventually found the card, well, none of the REAL ZERO1 guys is on it, despite it being the 23rd Anniversary.

New Japan start the New Japan Cup, with a slightly underwhelming field, Dragongate also being their tag tournament Rey de Parejas, although before that they have a couple of Osaka shows, one with title matches & the other with old units brought back for the one night. NOAH's tag league is also ongoing. The closest we have to an All Japan show this week is a AJPW vs DDT match in DDT which looks like it should be fun. New Period & Inoue will be good value. There's also ZERO1's Anniversary Show, which doesn't feature Masato Tanaka or any other members of Real ZERO1, which has me quite confused, but Shoki Kitamura is back from injury so that's great.

Man, the guy running All Japan seems like a loving moron. The company is hotter than it has been since I dunno, a decade? When did the guys who jumped from NOAH jump back? 2015? Man, it is hilarious in hindsight that Kanemaru came back just in time turn on NOAH & join Suzukigun and then follow them to New Japan.

I think this is a bogus report. Monthly Puroresu has a pretty terrible record and this was “I want to believe it because it’s funny” but doesn’t really make sense. We shall see!

Yeah, I did see they were the original source. Still bad that it's vaguely plausible though, like, the company drove out 2 guys who were involved in the behind-the-scenes mechanisms of the company in Menso-re & Ishikawa, (Menso-re was involved in the dojo & I think someone said booking venues? But maybe I have that mixed up with something else I heard), just so he could use Actwres girlZ like he used cheerleaders at the basketball team he owned?

There are so few good English languages resources for Japanese wrestling news. Far too many people who just rely on Google translate & DeepL & can't see why that's a bad idea.
