Uhhhh yeah, I thought that was a bit about him having a tough match or getting beaten up backstage or something, not an actual literal death notice  Translation through Google: quote:[Obituary News] Notice of the passing of Yutaka Yoshie Yutaka Yoshie, who was participating in the Takasaki tournament held today, passed away on March 10, 2024. After Yutaka Yoshie returned to the waiting room after the match, his condition suddenly deteriorated and he was rushed to a hospital in Takasaki City, but he never returned home. We would like to remember Yutaka Yoshie's achievements during his lifetime and pray for his soul to rest in peace. All Japan Pro Wrestling loving hell.

I usually try to watch NOAH shows if they air live and aren't up against a New Japan show, but I missed this one:forkboy84 posted:Pro Wrestling NOAH Great Voyage in Nagoya Just listening to The Big Audio Nightmare and  apparently Fujita took Lee to a 30 minute draw in front of a dead crowd and made sure to hit a big powerbomb and be going for the pin as the time ran out. Jake Lee is the current #1 contender for the GHC Title

That's kind of weird that Judgement won't have English comms, given it's one of their big annual shows (right?)

What's that weird expression on Kenoh's face in the last photo? If I didn't know better I'd say he was... happy?

forkboy84 posted:It's Nakajima. Seeing as he's not even booked for the Carnival I'd not be shocked if he was done with All Japan now so he felt he had "protect himself" or whatever. Wrestlers remain the biggest marks. I had assumed he was in AJPW for long enough to eventually FINALLY lose to Miyahara but... nope, 15 years and Miyahara has still never once beaten Nakajima in a singles match!

The absolute best value for money deal you can get for Japanese wrestling is Wrestle Universe which includes a number of promotions for 1298 YEN a month (incredible value) but primarily: NOAH - The "serious" promotion, #2 behind New Japan in Japan, has its issues particularly around some baffling booking decisions at times but overall delivers very good quality and hard-hitting wrestling. DDT - The "goofy" promotion that does a ton of comedy, but usually has far more serious matches at the top of the card with some truly excellent wrestlers. This is where you will have seen stuff like wrestling a blow-up doll. TJPW - DDT's sister promotion, the second biggest women's wrestling promotion in Japan behind Stardom (which itself is arguably the 2nd biggest wrestling promotion in all of Japan) - does a mixture of comedy and serious, has some great characters, excellent wrestlers, and some of the best loving theme songs going. NOAH's big shows regularly have English commentary. DDT will also often do English commentary, though their teams mix up and range from great (anytime Chris Brookes and Baliyan Akki get together is a treat) to serviceable to not very good. TJPW sometimes but not often does English commentary. Both DDT and TJPW will often get live English translations going on Twitter, though I don't recall the specific addresses sorry - the guy who used to do TJPW regularly, Mr. Haku, moved on to other things though he does do live commentary on some of Chris Brookes' "Baka-Gaijin" Shows that also air on Wrestle Kingdom. Others can tell you more about the other promotions on the service, like Sendai Girls and Ganbare Pro, but the point is that WU is astonishingly good value for money. There's also All Japan, which was THE promotion in the 1990s and still exists today albeit with entirely different owners and is far, far smaller than its heyday. However it gets regularly talked up for the quality of its matches, and you can get a membership account there for their streaming service for (I think) 900 yen a month.

forkboy's write-up just reminded me of a couple years back when DDT did one of their empty Tokyo Dome matches, and it was teams from NOAH, DDT and TJPW wrestling throughout the building for a cash prize. When it finally got down to the last two teams and they were going at it, a representative from Tokyo Dome came over to congratulate the GM on a wonderful show and then gave him the bill for hiring the venue. The GM didn't have the money to pay it so he gave the guy the cash prize and then ran away as the show went off the air while the wrestlers were still fighting for it

Rossy Ogawa is such a clown, he's only doing untold damage to the women's wrestling scene by splitting Stardom, and it's all probably part of a backdoor operation for WWE to get into Japan anyway. Bah! Fie on you, Rossy Ogawa! Rossy Ogawa's new promotion will be part of Wrestle Universe. The man's a genius! A visionary! Plaudits for Rossy Ogawa! Medals!

Is it still going? I just turned it on and they immediately turned off the lights, perhaps because they don't want me to know they're there?

Spoiler from the latest New Japan Road to Dontaku Show, seems like a pretty big deal maybe! Jake Lee just came striding down to the ring and beat the poo poo out of Tetsuya Naito during his match against Drilla Moloney, wearing his Good Looking Guys t-shirt while Charlton noted he is a NOAH guy.
