Horangi Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 SANADA off the All Together show, replaced by Taichi. I think this will be the first time the former Dangerous Tekkers members face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Kaito is the GHC HW Champion again. 3 time GHC HW Champion. Lot of other interesting things happened on the Wrestle Magic sumo hall show. They brought back the GHC Martial arts rule for this show too, but in tag format. The Marigold ladies won. Kenoh vs. Minoru Suzuki is set. The N-1 is coming back this year.

dragonzombie Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 4,583 Fans for the first UJPW show at the Tokyo Nippon Budokan Kitto got a win over the mouse. Jake Lee pinned Naito, and Jake Lee challenged Naito to a singles match. Kaito pinned future NJPW star Uemura in the 6 man main event. Gabe Kidd attacked Kaito and challenged Kaito, Kaito accepted. So they will face each others in NOAH in a GHC Heavyweight Championship match. They propped up NOAH abit. The next UJPW show is next month, and taking place in Sapporo on june 15th. The links to the upcoming event were weirdly taken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) Kaito and Kenoh's new unit is named All Rebellion. Kenoh wants to destroy the old NOAH. Alejandro and the mysterious black-masked "Cristobal" are also members . They're gonna try to change NOAH, and the unit is a revolutionary one like those old AJPW units. They will war against the Bullet Club War Dogs. https://www.noah.co.jp/news/5736/ Edited May 9 by dragonzombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I will spoilerize the CC results, though I think it’s unnecessary Spoiler Kento wins! Only his second CC victory, though he’s been in many finals. Not sure what they do with Kento vs Anzai. Seems too early to end Anzai’s reign without hurting him, and too soon to have him beat Kento. But also a 60 minute draw sounds bad too.

dragonzombie Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) From the CyberFight Press Conference Yasuo Okamoto has been appointed as the new president of CyberFight. He is also the Representative Director. Takagi is now EVP. The other structures for the respective promotions are the same. They're gonna strengthen their relationship with WWE. Seems WWE and NOAH, if you looked at social media tags. Keiji Muto is the new scouting advisor for NOAH. Both Eita and Ulka Sasaki joined NOAH. Masahiro Chono working with DDT to bring the Safety Task Force Project. CyberFight Inc.'s new structure will begin on June 1st Amusing to see people from the west crying about WWE involvement. But whatever. Edited May 16 by dragonzombie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I forgot that Ryota Hama was alive. I must not have watched a match of his since he was in All Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 What company's besides New Japan are offering the best stuff? I'm thinking about getting back into puro after a too many year layoff. Like when I was watching Ryota Hama was still a current name, and now enough time has passed that people have forgotten his existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when I was watching Ryota Hama was still a current name, and now enough time has passed that people have forgotten his existence. I'd recommend trying Wrestle Universe for a month, since it comes with DDT, Noah, TJPW, and Ganbare, plus they have added Michinoku Pro, Sendai Girls, and Zero One recently as well. That way you get a nice sampler of what else is out there, outside of All Japan and Big Japan. I personally love DDT because of their mix of comedy and serious, but if that's not for you, maybe Noah might be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I used to sub to Wrestle Universe a long time ago, but I think at the time it was just DDT and TJPW. That'll probably be my solution. I'm going to Japan in October so I'm hoping to get a feel for the promotions and catch a show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a really good mix of groups for what they offer and the service has been rock solid for the last couple of years. It's 1298 yen a month now, but even if the yen ever strengthens back to 100 yen = $1 USD, I'd still think it was worth it for the variety they offer and how well the service works.

Curt McGirt Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Man, what I hated about getting a Chromecast was that I couldn't use my laptop to put the wrestling on the TV. It had to be through the phone, but it was so complex to do it I just gave up and there it sits, an unused present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) AJPW deserves a lot of criticism for its recent booking (and other choices), but on the next big show there are two title matches featuring guys who debuted less than three years ago (TC/tag) and one featuring a dude with about five years of experience (Honda). Pushing new guys is usually a good move—hope Aoyagi doesn’t get lost in the shuffle. Edited May 21 by Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 All Rebellion wear silver gears. Silver Kenoh. Ryohei Oiwa later joined All Rebellion, but then he betrayed them after. Rivalry started between Ryohei and Kaito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.M.B. Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Sorry if this is forbidden talk but where does one go to acquire older, offline puroresu these days? Like 2005-2010 era stuff, Dragon Gate and whatnot. I feel like IVP’s stock has gone way down since last I checked a few years ago, some shows I know I’ve seen listed before are missing (like the Yoshihito vs. Tanaka Zero-One show from 2007ish). Is Jeff Lynch the main guy for that still? Looks like I haven’t gotten an email from him in 3 years, hope he’s still going strong. Any help is appreciated.

dragonzombie Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Another Pro Wrestling NOAH Show ended, One Night Dream 2 Kenoh defeated M.Suzuki in the main. In the GLG vs LIJ tag match, Shingo pinned Tadasuke. Naito spat on Jake Lee. Tomohiro Ishii won. From twitter @njpw_ryoheioiwa “As I said in the ring yesterday, NOAH is where I belong!" The next NOAH Nippon Budokan show is on 13 07.
