This is absolutely perfect to show new people or throw on for my friends who like TJPW when I host a watch but don't keep up otherwise. Breezy match but they put the work into it, can't wait for the next one.

That's JPWThoughts

Insane music to start, I love it. Very much enjoy Akki and Brookes as hosts. Noa and Shiori have fun confident energy. Miu and Mirai talk poo poo in a fun way. It's all a bit scruffy and has Saturday morning TV energy but I'm cool with it.

1) Miu Watanabe and Mirai Maiumi vs Hikari Noa and Sena Shiori. We get the L O V E! Betrayal from Space Rangers at the start. People feel not quite on their rhythm in the opening moments, but they warm up quickly. Mirai is having so much fun thumping the hell out of Shiori. And then Miu just Knightfalls her. They're setting up the speed vs strength thing very well. Jesus, Noa has dropkicks for days. And now we get Up Up Girl on Up Up Girl violence and a HELL of a giant swing. Strong Miu hits the teardrop on Shiori for the pin. Really good fun.

This was great. Cute, short concept, bitesize wrestling.

A fun 20 minutes, I appreciate that they put up a big Wrestle Universe sign to disguise the fact they were just using the Ice Ribbon Dojo again, that's top quality production value right there. Chris and Akki did well on commentary, they had an easy comraderie and seemed to switch off between colour and pbp cleanly. Always appreciate the effort the wrestlers put in to communicate with us in English as much as they can, hoping we see some Hyper Misao down the track so we can see whether the later start helps her out, I remember at the 2nd Chris Brookes show she was real quiet during her interview which I put down to tiredness. Match was fun, highlight for me was Miu's backbreaker stretch which had Sena's head reaching the floor she was arched back so far. Looking forward to the next one.

TJPW almost never has commentary in any language in the first place and I usually go for Japanese when it does, but I sincerely loved Chris and Akki constantly and credibly putting over everyone for their devastating moves even though the biggest person in the ring is 5'4"

Noice. That was such a breeze to watch and it's a great way to make sure dumb morons who don't know this roster (i.e, me) get to know them better.

Big same, just subbed to Wrestle Universe, and between this and the Chris Brookes Produce shows I'm super glad they've made it more accessible to us fools.

You'll also occasionally get English commentary shows, more usually Noah than TJPW or DDT but the new year TJPW show had full English commentary.

On the other hand, the first episode was clearly a winner. I'm glad Akki and I have similar reactions to fully committed dropkicks.

Yep, they're holding them all exclusively for this show in the Ice Ribbon dojo (the same spot AEW used for the Japan half of their recent women's tournament).

Actually as far as I know the matchups for this week, at least, are completely new.

Iirc it was Chris and the NOAH commentary team in January, so most likely them again. Maybe Mr. Haku, who runs ddtpro_eng and did the commentary for the Chris Brookes Produce shows
