That's a good one.
I wonder in how much of a panic mode New Japan was for this show to become reality?
So many great matches you could do. Off the top of my head I would go with:
- Katsuhiko Nakajima vs. Kota Ibushi (Nakajima vs. Shibata would be the big one, if he was healthy)
- Go Shiozaki vs. Kazuchika Okada
- Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi
- Takashi Sugiura vs. Shingo Takagi
- Kenoh vs. Tetsuya Naito
- Yoshiki Inamura vs. Jeff Cobb
- Minoru Suzuki vs. Kazushi Sakuraba

Who was the last person WWE cut (rather than them leaving voluntarily) who later returned to the company and made TV? Because it's not happened for a good while, has it?
He was only released for like a month or so, but the most recent person to fit the description would have to be Samoa Joe.

I'm very happy that he can finally work in the U.S. again, but still a little bit disappointed that Tony Khan completely dropped the ball on signing one of the best wrestlers in the world.

WTF?
First time in years something of interest is happening in the WWE and it's on overseas house shows. This should be the main event of a PPV.
Hopefully someone fancams this.

Marco Ruas is wrestling? That's a name I didn't expect.
And please tell me Tito isn't the Tito I'm thinking of...
It's former NXT wrestler Arturo Ruas a.k.a. Adrian Jaoude. He's now wrestling as Tiger Ruas.
Tito is an Indie wrestler named Bad Dude Tito, he already wrested on previous editions of Bloodsport.

Just came back from the cinema and I absolutely loved it.
Might even be my favorite Daniel-Craig-Bond movie, but I also liked the supposedly "bad" movies, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
Re-watching the previous four movies before watching this one was definitely a good decision, though.

Lol, look at the egg on my face now. Thank god, I didn't bet all of my money on Kiyomiya.
Nakajima vs. Kenou would have been the one match, I would have ruled out categorically.
Nakajima is of course my favorite wrestler in NOAH, so I'm very content with the result. Hope he wins the big one!
I wonder where Kiyomiya goes from here. Looks almost like a heel turn is imminent.
That was some glorious Western style booking in the Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team match by the way.
N-1 Victory Finals spoilers inside.

They only have around 2.000 of 8.000 videos that were on the old Wrestle Universe up on the new Wrestle Universe so far, but they plan to re-upload everything to the new WU eventually.

it makes perfect storyline sense that The Elite, the Nightmare Factory, possibly even the Inner Circle and the Dark Order (Uno/Dos faction) might be expecting that he'd be on their side.
He will side with 2point0 and their son.

No Time To Die comes out this week. Here's hoping Daniel Craig's last James Bond film is more Casino Royale (2006)/Skyfall (2012) than Quantum of Solace (2008)/Spectre (2015).
I just re-watched both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace and interestingly enough I liked Casino Royale a lot less than I liked it initially and liked Quantum of Solace a lot more than I liked it on my first watch. I actually remember falling asleep in the cinema, when I first watched Quantum of Solace.
If you have a shoddy memory like myself, Quantum of Solace is a lot better, when you watch Casino Royale right before it. I can't be expected to remember everything that happened in a movie I watched two years prior to that.
This time around I thought QoS was a complete thrill ride.
I already got my tickets for No Time To Die for the upcoming Sunday.

I'm not sure who's winning the N-1.
Really? I'd bet all my money on Kiyomiya beating Nakajima in the finals, but obviously I've been wrong before.

ZSJ/Ibushi on Day 5 was excellent obviously, but don't skip past Takagi vs. Nagata. Shingo brought out the absolute best in Nagata.
The middle stretch was rough, though. Great O'Khan vs. Yujiro directly followed by Toru Yano vs. Tanga Loa, do they want their fans to fall asleep?

Watched my first DDT show, since the King of DDT tournament yesterday. This was a very good show with a lot of the things I like about DDT and only few of the things I dislike. Don't sleep on Takeshita vs. Brookes, one of the best wrestling matches I've seen this year.
I hope they start thinking about English commentary with the launch of the new Wrestle Universe in October. I think DDT would benefit even more of English commentary than NOAH.

I realized Muto/Kiyomiya would go to another time limit draw as soon as the match started. Clearly it's too much to ask of Muto to take a single loss and a draw would be enough for Kiyomiya to advance, so that's the way to go. Well, at least Muto didn't win.
Kenou vs. Mochizuki was the MOTN for me, but Nakajima vs. Sakuraba is well worth a watch, too.
Nice surprise to see Funaki knock out Fujita. Not that I hate Fujita, but Nakajima/Funaki sounds like a good semi-final match on paper.
The directions for both semi-finals and the finals seem obvious, but I don't mind.

Well, Family Guy did it.

I hope that all the Covid and Brexit bullshit is sorted out by then, because I want to be there whenever that match happens.

Muto vs Sugi NOAH. You will like this match and watch it.
Out of all the 30 Minute Time Limit Draws that happened in September 2021, this was certainly one of them.

So did Suzuki get a work VISA to stay here for several months, or did he move to the US?
Even if he doesn't have a Visa, who's going to tell Minoru Suzuki that he has to go back?

Holy shit, they also released Low Ki vs. Ninja Mack for free today. Those fools, I would have paid money for that probably.

Lots of new free wrestling on the interwebs lately:
New promotion out of Canada put out their first show in full on YouTube incl. Daniel Makabe vs. Nicole Matthews and Mike Bailey vs. Artemis Spencer in the Main Event.
ROH put up the first few matches from the second Wrestle Carnival show including Doug Williams vs. Dean Allmark in a ROH Pure Rules match.
From the same Wrestle Carnival show, but this one is on the SHIMMER YouTube channel, because it's for the Heart of SHIMMER Championship: Hyan (c) vs. Alex Windsor
GCW put up Jordan Oliver vs. Ricky Marvin for free. Ricky Marvin is still the man after all these years!
Another full show from Fight! Nation Wrestling with a great card. Chris Ridgeway vs. Warren Banks in the main event, also Callum Newman vs. Danny Black, The Young Guns (Ethan Allen & Luke Jacobs), Joe Lando, Giselle Shaw etc.

Theoretically the Main Event is KUSHIDA vs. Roderick Strong for the Cruiserweight Title
I think by law they are obligated to turn this into a three way match with some barely trained rookie.

The 2021 WWE Forever Purge - Part 3 of ?

Maybe they finally got rid of that old brass ring, because nobody was grabbing for it?
Now all you have to do is climb the beanstalk, defeat the giant, grab the golden egg, bring it back to Vince and maybe he will consider to put you in the main event for like a month to lose to either Goldberg or Roman Reigns.
