WU is such an insane value. The price went up recently (to 1298 yen), but I don't think I've seen anyone complain, because with how weak the yen is, the price it went up to in USD is still basically the same price as the original price (which was 900 yen, so then and now it's still under $9) people were paying back when they made the changeover from the original site to Wrestle Universe, and on top of that, the announcement of the price increase came with an announcement that they were adding content from Michinoku, Zero1, and Sendai Girls, and Ganbare Pro content will continue to be available on Wrestle Universe (Ganbare Pro announced recently that they were leaving the CyberFight company to become independent, so there were questions as to what would happen with their content).

There's also a bunch of totally random other stuff on there if you want to poke around (like GCW shows, or AEW matches that have CyberFight wrestlers in them that have Japanese commentary added, or Gatoh Move shows). I think some of the really weird stuff (like Kota Ibushi fighting room by room through a condemned apartment building) haven't quite made it over from the old site though.

I like WU because it's really easy to just watch the live shows when they're being streamed live.

My favorite thing about the price increase is getting to be a Gold Card member, which currently doesn't do anything but I like looking at the pretty gold card on my profile.

DeepL translates it as a retirement announcement.

She's seemingly doing recreational sumo training if her recent tweets are anything to go by.

Good choice, brother E. Stardom-world puts shows up on a ~3 day delay i don't remember if anyone mentioned that

3 days for house shows and some of the PPVs but also sometimes they'll put a whole show up immediately but it will not have subtitles. I still have no idea what the decision process is for these but whatever. Also I think they might be trying to set up some tech to run live streams of house shows but nothing is confirmed yet

I'm going to ignore the weird posts before and after my last post and just say thanks for the breakdowns on Wrestling Universe & Stardom, I think I'll sub to both probably since I recently stopped subbing to all other streaming services.

I've got both because I'm a maniac.

Stardom is an absurdly good in ring product but they don't make following them easy. They may be trying to fix this because they trialled a live house show the other day that was filmed from about 50kms from the ring. Bushiroad have put almost all resources (and as discussed itt recently Japanese wrestling isnt in great shape) into roster and touring

But they have a murderers row of the best women wrestlers on earth as things stand right now. Especially young talent. I doubt any promotion on earth has a better roster under 25

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
Just to correct a few things: by the end Rossy was the booker of Stardom and Bushiroad handled the business side - including the appearances of wrestlers in other promotions. While I suspect Rossy was influential I don’t think he was that significant - especially since historically he’s someone that always talked about wanting to run the US. It’s worth noting that President Harada left in December and this stuff started after President Okada came in so that is more likely to be the person you blame.

In a poster with a monster and a legend, the most unhinged looking one is as always, Hyper Misao.

I really wish they would sell the posters as posters on the store and not just in person or as a collection in book form.

I haven't had a chance to watch all the Cinderella qualifying matches but the last 3 matches on that show (Giulia/Syuri/Konami vs Momo/Stephanie/Fukigen, Poi's return match, and the 3 way tag) were all fantastic. Poi looked really good. Not fully back to how she was yet but great nonetheless. Sareee and Hash were fuckin awesome.

Edit: attendance of 1555 for those who keep track
