Him going to NXT will end up either with him getting buried/released cause he refuses to tone down his style or if he does tone it down he'll end up like KENTA.

One thing I'll say about this has been ajpw playing all this out as a weird worked shoot from the get go. Including using tospo to promote the story. That said if he shows up at sakura genesis/nxt/aew id not be completely shocked either. It's just idk ajpw has tried to be too clever by half through a lot of this

I was hoping they were building to another match between him and Kento but oh well. Thought he had a lot of juice at the beginning doing the Toukon poo poo with the Inoki kicks and whatnot, holding the title hostage kinda, but it did start to peter out. So it goes! Excited for what the Champion Carnival will bring.

forkboy84 posted:As a follow-up to that This was machine translated and the nuance was kinda lost lol I think it's a work. Using Tokyo Sports was very on the nose here. Perhaps he'll sneak into the CC last minute or something. I do wanna say the finish to the match was very sudden? I guess the lesson is to never play with your food and to never gently caress around with someone who uses the jumping knee in AJPW.

I expect NV to further spiral with the SMJ stuff that's been happening for the last month now too.

A pretty quiet week again, but this time at least a handful of the shows we are getting are significant. Saturday is lead by Sakura Genesis, with 5 title matches & a Jon Moxley appearance. Unfortunately those title matches involve 2 different members of House of Torture & Chase Owens, but the all LIJ Heavyweight title clash with Naito & Tsuji has potential to be great. Sunday has a weird (in a good way) DDT show with Shinya Aoki vs Chihiro Hashimoto and Zack Sabre Jr turns up to tag with Chris Brookes, & in NOAH there's the delayed GHC Tag Title match. Wednesday has the finals of the Rey de Parejas tournament, which has been very good again this year, albeit nothing has quite hit the heights of Kanda & Mochizuki from last year. Still a weird thought 13 months on, Yasushi Kanda putting on the best matches of his career 24 years in? Thursday has All Japan doing another New Age ChronicleZ show featuring wrestler in the biz for less than a decade, headlined by a clash of Triple Crown & Junior Heavyweight champions, which across Tokyo in Korakuen NOAH give us the best match they can, Kaito vs Kenoh. Every time these two clash it gives off powerful "little brother, big brother" energy, and everytime it's a ****+ match. Should be a treat, definitely the one match I'm looking forward to more than most. 6/4/2023, Saturday 1pm JST/3pm AEDT/5am BST/12am EDT/9pm PDT Gatoh Move ChocoPro #364 Ichigaya Chocolate Square, Tokyo Card TBA Uploaded to Youtube later 5pm JST/7pm AEDT/9am BST/4am EDT/1am PDT New Japan Sakura Genesis Ryogoku Kokugikan, Tokyo Ayato Yoshida, Chicharito Shoki & Takuro Niki vs Oleg Boltin, Tomohiro Ishii & Toru Yano El Desperado & Ryusuke Taguchi vs TMDK (Kosei Fujita & Zack Sabre Jr) Bullet Club (David Finlay & Gedo) vs LIJ (BUSHI & Hiromu Takahashi) Just 5 Guys (DOUKI, SANADA & Yuya Uemura) vs United Empire (Callum Newman, Great O-Khan & Jeff Cobb) IWGP Junior Heayvweight Tag Team Titles: Bullet Club War Dogs (Clark Connors & Drilla Moloney)(c) vs Catch 22 (Francesco Akira & TJP) vs Intergalactic Jet Setters (Kevin Knight & KUSHIDA) IWGP Tag Team Titles: Fucksake (Chase Owens & KENTA)(c) vs Bishamon (Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI) IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title: SHO(c) vs YOH House of Torture (Jack Perry & Ren Narita) vs Jox Moxley & Shota Umino NEVER Openweight Title: EVIL(c) vs Shingo Takagi IWGP World Heavyweight Title: Tetsuya Naito(c) vs Yota Tsuji Live on NJPW World Pro Wrestling NOAH Sunny Voyage Night 19 Shimizu Marine Building, Shimizu Takashi Sugiura vs Yu Owada Junta Miyawaki vs Shuhei Taniguchi Daga & Yoshinari Ogawa vs Hajime Ohara & Shuji Kondo GLG (Jake Lee & Tadasuke) vs Team NOAH (Atsushi Kotoge & Go Shiozaki) Daiki Inaba & Masa Kitamiya vs El Hijo del Dr Wagner Jr & Ulka Sasaki Alejandro, Naomichi Marufuji & Ninja Mack vs Kenoh & Los Golpeadores (Alpha Wolf & Dragon Bane) GLG (Anthony Greene, Jack Morris & YO-HEY) vs HAYATA, Kaito Kiyomiya & Ryohei Oiwa Uploaded later to Wrestle Universe 6pm JST/8pm AEDT/10am BST/5am EDT/2am PDT Dragongate Rey de Parejas Night 12 Act City, Hamamatsu Big Hug (Hyo & Luis Mante) vs BxB Hulk & Daiki Yanagiuchi Masaaki Mochizuki vs Ryu Fuda Don Fujii, Genki Horiguchi & Yasushi Kanda vs Mondai Ryu, Punch Tominaga & Takashi Yoshida Natural Vibes (Jacky Funky Kamei & U-T) vs Z-Brats (ISHIN & Jason Lee) D'courage (Dragon Dia, Madoka Kikuta & Ryoya Tanaka) vs Kagetora, Naruki Doi & Susumu Mochizuki Rey de Parejas A Block: Natural Vibes (BIG BOSS Shimizu & Strong Machine J) vs Z-Brats (Gianni Valletta & KAI) Tournament matches uploaded to Youtube Also shows from Ice Ribbon, Actwres girlZ, Marvelous, & Osaka Pro 7/4/2023, Sunday 11:30am JST/1:30pm AEDT/3:30am BST/10:30pm EDT/7:30pm PDT DDT April Fool 2024 Korakuen Hall, Tokyo Akito, Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi vs X Ilusion & Munetatsu Nakamura vs Yuni & Yuya Koroku Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Kazumi Sumi vs HARASHIMA, Takeshi Masada & Yoshitatsu vs Hideki Okatani, Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya D GENERATIONS Cup 2024 Final: Rukiya vs To-y Chihiro Hashimoto vs Shinya Aoki KO-D Tag Team Titles: Burning (Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino)(c) vs Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga 37KAMIINA (MAO & Yuki Ueno) vs Chris Brookes & Zack Sabre Jr DDT Extreme Title Good Luck!!

I'm glad anyone else finds it useful, and as always, if there's a promotion I don't cover regularly that someone wants me to, just say and I'll do what I can. Like if there's a secret fan of Ice Ribbon dojo shows or Actwres girlZ. It'd be a proper ball ache to do this without the fantastic Puwota website. Watching the Ota All Japan show at last and this undercard has been a joy and a breeze. A lot of fun, especially the opener and the Carnival preview battle royale. Of course it's now time for that to slow down dramatically with the setup for an Onita match, and Onita match and the clean-up from an Onita match

Weird thing for today https://x.com/alljapan_pw/status/1776179595391156229 The LEC corporation, sponsors of basically every Japanese wrestling company, god bless Gekiochi-Kun, are promoting a Jiu Jitsu event today. Of interest to this thread, Ryo Inoue is facing off Hikaru Sato & perhaps weirdest of all, Punch Tominaga of Dragongate is up against Shinya Aoki, The Grand Master of Flying Submissions & MMA fighter with a record of 48-11 & 1 NC. Good luck Punch, hope he doesn't rip a limb off.

I think Punch is a belted jiu jitsu player fwiw. Him and YAMATO got deep into that in the last few years (ofc yammy did pancrase exhibitions pre dg under his shoot name). He will get wrecked in this for sure but not as bad as what gleat does to their kids on their shows.
