Zimbra Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 If this thread is accurate there is potentially a trove of unseen All Japan footage out there, presuming it hasn't been tossed or mouldered away in someone's basement. I can only assume @Matt D is already putting together a crew to take down the AJPW vault. 2

lostinube Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Kota Ibushi has started his own youtube channel. He doesn't really say much in it but the video has 13K views already.
DragonZombie Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) AJPW, I will update slowly Spoiler Onita won the All Asia tags back for AJPW. Suwama got pinned by Nagata. Yuma's brother retained the junior title. Doi beat him down and is next. Kento retained. They announced several matches. More NJPW guys (like Master Wato) are coming. On 18.03. it's AJPW vs. GLEAT. Edited February 4, 2023 by Red King
Horangi Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I don't know if this is the place, but when it is uploaded onto New Japan World, the Kyle Fletcher vs Robbie Eagles match from tonight's Tamashii show was a hell of a match. 2
Control Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Kento, the Aoyagi bros, Rising Hayato, Yuma Anzai, Ryo Inoue, and big ol’ Shuji Ishikawa apparently formed “All Japan New Era.” It would be nice to see Kenta tag with Shuji, etc. Mix things up a bit. N Nomura left out, since he ain’t AJPW. Hokuto Omori I guess left out to be with Doi? And the two-person Evolution remains.
DragonZombie Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Have to wait for awhile for what they meant about Nextream and those members of AJPW army coming together. Kento and Hayato were the only two Nextream members left. Yoshitatsu, Fuchi, T.Omori, Black Menso-re belong to the home army. While Hokuto Omori is too but he is allied with Suzuki and Doi.
lostinube Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 Nagata is Kento's next challenger. The hook is that Nagata needs the Triple Crown to hold a "Grand Slam" of the top singles and tag titles in NJPW, NOAH and AJPW which I think only Muto, Kojima and Takayama have done.

You forgot the first in Kensuke.
lostinube Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 Kensuke only won the All Asia tag belts in AJPW. Never got the World tag title. 1
Salads Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Every time I see Ren Narita I think about that breakout match he had with Ishii. Which in turn gets me thinking about how when I started watching New Japan the stocky gatekeeper dads for the up and comers were Tatsutoshi Goto and Hiro Saito. Ishii is too big of an upgrade to comprehend. Also, getting 3300 to show up for a YOH main event after running the same building the night before is a miracle. The big NJPW / NOAH show only got 5500!

It was thinking about that the other week, I miss Mr. Backdrop! Hiromu vs YOH was good, crowd was even hot for YOH and sounded like they were more behind him than Hiromu which shocked me. The Sapporo double-header had some great wrestling with Ospreay/Taichi being the pick of the bunch. Catch-22/Just 2 Guys & Hiromu/YOH round up the really good stuff, while Bishamon/TMDK was fun. Umino/Naito on the other hand...just long and disappointing.
DragonZombie Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Another deathmatch maybe for AJPW. Maybe against VM.
DragonZombie Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Kota Ibushi will establish his own new school, and his main battlefield will be Japan. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/fe034d08bad2bcfaa26d607618af9d5732965bdd 1
DragonZombie Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 Some think Shibata may leave NJPW. Shibata recently returned home (Japan) https://kakutolog.info/wrestling/njpw/26708/ The new NJPW academy https://www.njpw1972.com/142603
Control Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 Kodai Nozaki, the 5’7”, 280 lbs star of Kyushu Pro, is leaving the company to wrestle around the world. 1
DragonZombie Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 Tenryu doesn't need the neckbrace anymore since last year's Nov, and he can do more with his neck and body wise. Still has a screw in his neck. https://www-tokyo--sports-co-jp.translate.goog/articles/-/253290?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp I hate getting old, everyone is older or dying.
