British cuisine, so good we had to conquer half the world just to find something more than oats, boiled meat, onions and mint to eat

Although actually I think plenty British peasant food is nice. But also it's funny hearing my mam who was born in the early '50s talk about how she never even saw garlic until she went to France as an au pair. Literally the most basic ingredient and it wasn't common here lol

More names for Bloodsport Bushido

Assume everyone knows the top names. Modzmanashvili is an Uzbek wrestler who won silver at Heavyweight in the London Olympics, but was then stripped of the medal for doping. Mike O'Hearn was on American Gladiators?

He was legendary Battle Dome competitor, Mike O'Dell! And also he's like a Tiktok fitness meme that's crossed over with Karate Combat League or something.

Both of Dragongate's tag league blocks were won by unaffiliated teams, tag champs are outsiders, singles champs are on their technically-an-unit two man island. drat this is a weak unit landscape, there's got to be an imminent full shakeup right? Maybe? Please?

With Jason joining Z-Brats, Natural Vibes is imploding, which will lead to a lot of unaffiliated guys floating around out there so something should be coming up soon. I expect that Jacky probably ends up in the Mante/HYO unit since they already teased that a couple months ago. Where everyone else ends up who knows.

Has there ever been more than one heel faction in DG at any point in time? I'm going to miss Natural Vibes v3. I even have a shirt of them...

I'm torn about this, Susumu losing the Yokosuka name was the stip for him in challenging KAI for the Dream Gate, so it's weird to me that they're walking back on it.

So kinda. You might have an affiliated heel group that hasn’t joined the heel group. Most famously cmax and m2k were heel at the same time.

It’s pretty clear that they wanted to have him be a Mochizuki for M3K and Junior. This guy name changes so often that I’m pretty numb to this at this point.

I guess I was invested in Susumu's Dream Gate challenge because losing the Yokosuka name meant losing another thing that would remind him of K-ness as they were longtime tag partners... oops lol

Really great Korakuen show for Dragongate. All the RdP tournament matches whipped, and every match was fun. Lots of interesting set-up for Dead or Alive next month. Mante put up his title against Gianni Valletta after the later unmasked Ultimo in his match. Really intense and energetic brawl between Z-Brats and Natural Vibes that set up the DoA cage match with Jacky, Jason, Kzy, Shun, and Hyo. Also lots of unit shake-up moves starting to develop for all those kinda not into the current unit landscape.

Also real smart of Dragongate, sending men over 40 to fight Kaito. It's his one weakness!

It's funny, he left NOAH because he was going to university IIRC, & now he's wrestling in Europe on top of all over Japan.

He's a really good junior, he probably won't wow you with flashiness, but Yoshioka is a really good wrestler.
