16th, for U.S. folks (just in case the last post messes you up and Kamiyu's promos haven't imprinted in your brain).

Great match, shin battle that I never expected and the idea of a shin kokeshi brings me much joy, unlike Baliyan's mid-leg splashes

That's JPWThoughts

Me: Well, that AEW main event was insane, but what I'd really like to see is an insane idol singer just leather the gently caress out of a clown.

Universe: I gotchu covered son.

Spoopy ring music to start again. Absolutely fine with that. Brookes and Akki back to hype us up. Pom is a nutter. Itoh-chan is going to murder her. "Pom Harajuku. She's.... bitch!"

1) Pom Harajuku vs Maki Itoh. Nice to have a superbly biased commentator in Brookes :). Fun start to this. Love the Pom drum spot. Love the Itoh playfulness with her offense. This is pretty good, but I think Pom still needs to season a bit more before she's great. We got the expected result, and that's fine. Decent match.

As always a delightful bitesize show.

Maki Itoh going for the shin was a fun little bit of business that added some spice to the match. Also the Pom de Justice is a move I always love to see, whether it hits or not.

TJPWThoughts

That is, in fact, JPW. Complete with circus opening. Pink vs Blue. Mahiro is one of the wrestlers I'm less familiar with.

1) Miyu Yamashita vs Mahiro Kiryu. Commentary on this show is so much fun. God, Miyu is just the coolest. Strong start from Mahiro, met by strong defense from Miyu. I really enjoyed Mahiro fighting out of a submission with strikes. Very aggressive and athletic match. God, that jumping corner kick from Miyu followed by the murderous spinning heel kick, such a beautiful sequence.

A short match, but really beautifully performed.

Quick little match but Mahiro at least got to look a bit cool with her hot start. I find her charming, with her white-collar day job and bonding with Kamiyu over attending the same college.

Mahiro bringing everything she had with every fibre of her being and just mildly troubling Yamashita who then proceeded to just obliterate her with that kick, so good.

Overall I think this managed to make Miyu look powerful without making Mahiro look weak. She wasn't weak, she just got hit by something unbeatable, and she fought like a lion before that.

Miyu's promo before the match summed it up really,"Doesn't matter who it is :clint:" and then she kicked the camera-man :hellyeah:

That's J-PW:

+ One note is that they need to get the theme a bit further under until the roster gets comfortable enough in English to be able to project over the music.

+ Brookes and Akki remain my (second) favorite announce team in english language professional wrestling.

+ Good open with Mahiro going for it and then a cool as hell hip toss + cobra clutch-y thing.

+ A strike exchange with Miyu is a MISTAKE

+ I am so glad there if proof Miyu can do the corner jump kick on separated turnbuckle pads. TJPW SEND HER TO AEW TO KILL [SOMEONE]

+ DEATH

+ In summation:

If things open up enough to bring AEW people to TJPW and TJPW people to AEW, let me just pitch something to you:

Miyu Yamashita vs Tay Conti.

Now that I have your attention, I think it would be fun to send three AEW women who could benefit from the experience to TJPW and bring three TJPW women who could benefit from the exposure to AEW

Proposal for going to TJPW:

1. Red Velvet
2. KiLynn King
3. Big Swole

They already function as a unit, and I want to see KiLynn throw around bees and clowns.

Proposal for coming to AEW:

1. Miyu Yamashita
2. Yuki Kamifuku
3. Hikari Noa

Mostly just because they're awesome and the world needs to see them.

I know it's only two weeks in, but unless I'm mistaken, every That's J-PW match so far has been a totally new matchup. It's cool how they're giving the domestic audience a reason to tune in, too.
