2023 Puroresu General Discussion


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Few days ago IGF and Ganryujima teamed up to produce INOKI BOM-BA-YE 2022. Former K-1 producer Sadaharu Tanikawa served as the producer. RIZIN CEO Nobuyuki Sakakibara was the card's  "supervisor." Naoya Ogawa is the GM.

Ganryujima rules matches for MMA have that no cage, no ropes ring style and moat. IGF added the poles. There are some differences as in what fighters can't do in that ring when matchmaking under Ganryujima rules, so restrictions on the floor, maybe DQ out of bounds.

There were other types of combat sports matches on the card, Kickboxing and regular MMA. There were no traditional Pro Wrestling matches on the card like the old first IGF used to book. The UWF rules which main evented the show had the special no head strikes rules and used an NJPW ref in ring with Tanahashi on commentary.

The next IGF show is in spring.

The 51st year of AJPW.

Suzuki took a cutter bump.

Hokuto Omori bowed to Minoru Suzuki who was teaming with Naruki Doi. He left with those guys. Suzuki is bit of a face with the handshakes.

They announced the dates for 4 big shows:

Tokyo Ota Ward General Gymnasium March 21 and June 17

Tokyo National Yoyogi Stadium Second Gymnasium Friday, Sept 8th and Dec 31

Shotaro Ashino returns on jan 22nd.

Kaz is challenging for the Junior title next.

Wada refused to count for Kono.

Spoiler

And T.Nomura beat Kono with the sleeperhold. The 5 crowns are formed again.

The AJPW show above was 1,055 Fans.

Another AJPW show today. See if anyone gets signed, if not oh well more saved money.

Should be noted that Naruki Doi is a freelancer.

Spoiler

Today is 5 crowns battle.  

The president of AJPW may be able to reject Electric Current Bombing match, doesn't matter because Onita does what he wants to do.

Anyway they're treating AJP 2023 as new AJPW.  Not lot of dudes who do martial arts kicks for 2023 AJPW.

AJPW

Onita showed up. And attacked Yoshitatsu.

Nosawa and kashin are the new All asia tag champs.

5 crown battle

Spoiler

Kento won.

The next challengers for the Triple Crown are Yuma then maybe Nagata. So the Tokyo Sports articles about Suwama was bs.

Murder Ibushi is best Ibushi. You rarely see it for how hard he hits. Best Murder Ibushi moment was vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi in the NJPW G1 Climax 2018 final, the best match in NJPW G1 Climax history and one of the best wrestling matches ever. ****.

ÀJPW

Onita wants to break AJP's no Deathmatch traditions. Onita's Deathmatches are less like modern BJW and more FMW kinda. Shouldn't have to worry about getting scars too much.

There been some ideological breaks in the past, those few different style fights, the gimmicks matches in the Mutoh era, the deathmatch done before and more.

NJPW

Zack Sabre is blonde. I'm not sure yet what they're gonna do with the ex Suzuki Gun guys, NJPW army for now before if they decide to join the other units.

Suzuki has own new 3 man unit with no name in AJPW.

According to VOW, the whole reason SZG was broken up was because so many of them weren't under contract. They were simply on handshake deals, and Bushiroad doesn't want another JONAH or Karl Anderson situation to happen.

Miyahara and Nomura beat the piss out of each other this afternoon. The two are a special and delicious blend and I’d happily show any non wrestling fan a match like this. I always feel like Kento is flying under the general radar, but he really is a damn master of his craft.

NJPW

Okada is the successor to Inoki. He wore black gear and did Inoki's move again to honor Inoki at WK 17. 

Lot of stuff happened at this years NYD. The info is in the WK 17 thread.

NJPW vs NOAH again. I think they should steal the defunct Survivor Series match type WWE used to do.

 

AJP

The Electric current explosion match is on, that match type breaks some of Baba's traditions and preferences, but AJPW was also one of the promotions to do new things in the past.
