the san jose show as i noted in the op will be streamed on world but geolocked to japanese ips. the legal way to watch outside of japan is ppv. all regular domestic shows are on world, collab shows like the 2022-2023 x NOAH shows are the exception.

the one i thought was bullshit was doing the STRONG korakuens as PPVs.

Both English and Japanese pages at the same time makes me think a fun joke. Njpw are adorably incompetent at times but that incompetent idk

The house are great and I mean that without irony. No wrestlers in njpw make me laugh as much.

Where's the fookin toilet?

I guess based on last night's Rampage the Continental Crown is all three titles. Eddie can allegedly defend them individually as well but I guess this makes it simpler.

So has there been any word on Cactus Jack Perry being let go from AEW or more like it was a perfect excuse to have him go on an excursion to NJPW, what with him filing for trademarks for a lot of his former gimmicks.

Yes, it's angle for an excursion away from AEW.

The question is if he's only on Strong shows, does indies as well, or is going to Japan.

Shota's beating Moxley for the title at Wrestle Kingdom in 2025, you can take that to the bank! The bank won't know what to do with it, but that's not my problem.

While they only put 3500 tickets on sale apparently it looks like the Chicago show has sold most or all of those according to Dave so it looks like having an actual big match to promote before tickets go on sale actually helps sell tickets!
