Have NJPW and Stardom merged streaming platforms yet, or are they still separate?

Don't they have separate deals with rival TV platforms?

It seems a risky move to me but I can understand why they did it. Makes for a good jumping-on point into NOAH, he'll get beaten by Kaito, and Go will probably win the N1.

According to Takagi, there was a lot of demand for the DDT show last night which is why the servers went down. Seems like a good thing.

I'm honestly curious if Wrestle Universe got a bump from the AEW women's tournament. That's pretty much why I signed up for TJPW.

Surprising nobody, Mutoh has officially joined NOAH's roster.

https://twitter.com/ddtpro_eng/status/1361194580771696643

Mutoh being signed for more time than Jun seems weird!

https://twitter.com/ddtpro_eng/status/1361196834090147842

Wow, can't believe Jun is burying the PC.

Akiyama vs. Haguchi on March 24th.


Ueno's Ibushi-isms are coming along nicely.

https://twitter.com/ddtpro_eng/status/1361204297271181315

Ueno's next defense is on the 14th, but no challenger yet. He might be doing an open challenge?

Kaito officially challenging Mutoh at Fukuoka.

lmao someone emailing Mutoh about showing up on Impact

KENOH being very rude.

https://twitter.com/ddtpro_eng/status/1361212088182468610

Summing it all up, DDT: Universal Title on the 14th, unknown challenger. KO-D On the 28th, Jun Akiyama(c) vs. Higuchi

NOAH: GHC tag on the 7th, Sakuraba and Sugiura (c) vs. Nakajima and Kitamiya, GHC National also on the 7th, KENOH(c) vs. Kendo Kashin, Keiji Muto(c) vs. Kaito Kiyomiya on the 14th.

The only thing is, they signed him to a 2 year deal, so what the hell is he gonna do when he drops the belt to Kaito next month if he does?

I'd also guess they want Go to win their equivalent of the G1 since he's never won one of those in any of the three big japanese promotions.

Japan as a whole has benefitted because Jun didn't go to WWE and sell AJPW.

It's been perfectly fine for me. There have been some issues with the stream (especially during Kawasaki Strong) but I think that was mainly caused by unexpected demand and they put the matches up on youtube afterwards as a make good.

Scrolling through wrestle universe, and for a very confused second Yuki Ueno looked VERY like Kota Ibushi.



The first time I saw Yuki Ueno I decided that Ibushi remembered he really liked wrestling for DDT so he went back to the past, cloned himself, and brought the clone to the future to wrestle for DDT.

I predict Mutoh will say "gently caress" or "motherfucker" at least 15 times in this match.

Maybe it's just me but I feel like maybe it would've been better to just have Go get kayfabe injured and have to vacate.

Middle of the match was fun but the callback at the start felt misplaced and the ending was a complete :psyduck: moment. Maybe I'd feel different if I had more knowledge/backstory but this seemed like a really weird decision for the promotion to make.

I found this after doing a little digging.

"When you are sad, happy, angry, or you want to focus on yourself. "Pissari" can be used in various situations. This is the secret word when talking to Okabayashi."

I don't think it helped at all.

I'm imagining a "human reverse mortgage" scenario where Onita sells tickets years in advance for his funeral, which would be capped off by his coffin exploding.

Not even satire, he would 100% do it if he got the idea.

In fairness to AEW, their baseball bat spot looked fine, it was everything else.

The only ones that were really bad were obviously the ending and the floor explosions. The rope ones were alright, though they could've been better.
