Not the greatest New Japan Cup matches on tonight's show but so long as Chase Owens is done after tonight I'll be happy.

It's "only" been 15 minutes but I actually felt (provided TJP is winning, which is probably unlikely :sigh:) the match had reached what felt like a natural end there.

He probably has it translated live on his twitter, reasonjp

The alternate frontends for Twitter I use that actually shows the most recent tweets made (instead of... completely random ones????... that the official site does) continually give me "instance rate limited" messages now so I can't even use that old workaround. Luckily it seems Walker is using those to keep us up to date, it seems it was a representative from the same amateur wrestling place he trains in back in Kazakhstan?

Okay, found an alternate that actually shows tweets - from NJPW Global:

Shingo Takagi posted:

Let say it again. I've come to Yamanashi! Thank you for staying with me to the end. It's been a long time since I've held a mic here. Two years in fact. But I won, so indulge me. There will actually be one more Yamanashi event this year. Maybe in... summer, start of autumn? September time? That would be right around my 20 year anniversary. So let me produce a little- the Shingo Takagi 20th Anniversary card!

Well, I haven't told Tanahashi yet. So boss, what will it be, yes or 'hai?'

Anyway, Yamanashi we need to show out. In 2019 there were more people here, so in autumn for my 20th Anniversary I want us to be jam packed to the rafters.

But I think I need some hardware to really make that show pop. So when i win the NJC, I get to challenge Naito for the world title. And for the first time since 2021, I can come home with the World Heavyweight Championship!

And when I do, I want you to be loud! The Rampage Dragon is going to roar through Yamanashi this September!

There seem to be a bunch of these in Japan based on how often they show up on New Japan shows and I'm also kind of confused as to what they're used for when they're not hosting wrestling shows. Is is a sports hall/rec center type place? The roof is so loving high!

Shingo: Surprised Naito was still here. Man, Uemura, if I let my guard down for a second, or if I wasn’t in Yamanashi I would have had to tap. I just couldn’t give up in front of my home crowd. And that was just ROH d one. Next is Gabe. We couldn’t have that match in RevPro so… Gabe you’re angrier than me huh. You wanna go let’s go. Let’s tear the whole place apart. I saw what you and HENARE did
