Seemed they were doing well with some non death match stuff for a while, but went quiet lately. Anything of interest there? Nomura hits people really hard. Hideki Suzuki has a (not entirely unearned) reparation for working in a (boring) fashion that seems disdainful of his opponent and audience, but that can work really well when he wants to work hard. And yeah, Sekimoto and Okabayashi are prime beef.

Black tights young boys Kato and Hyodo bring some fire and clubbering. Okabayashi has been on fire on his run to the title. The death side has been down. Takahashi's kind of boring, and Isami is too scrawny to be world champion. Nomura's cool.
Pete Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 So has DDT's NYC show gone online yet? Curious to see if it translates as well on-screen as it did live.
lostinube Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 It's on the DDT Universe site but I don't have a sub. Don't know if it's available anywhere else.
Control Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 I really wanna know if that Zeus v Bodyguard singles match made tape.

Pete Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 OK, this DDT match sounds amazing. Quote Akito beat (Antonio) Honda on 5/25 in Kitazawa in a Yogi Yogi death match, where in the ring there were two indie wrestlers (Trans-Am Hiroshi and Konaka) meditating. If either Yogi was touched, they would go berserk and attack the person who touched them before going back to meditating. As @DEAN immediately jumps online to look up his new favorite wrestler...
DEAN Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I like that Minoru Tanaka wrestled in DDT a while back as Trans Am Tanaka.
Beech27 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Not putting this in the Super Juniors thread as an act of wishful thinking. Also: Stronghearts is hitting Big Japan next on their old time territory style tour, while Nomura is challenging Okabayashi for the heavyweight title.
Tromatagon Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Apparently Atsushi Aoki has died from a motorcycle accident. 1

Ryan Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Trans-Am Hiroshi. He's gone through many looks. He was doing an American gimmick for awhile. I'm sure there's a timeline for the whole weird gimmick.
Drock Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 That’s awful about Aoki. I was really into NOAH 11-12 years ago and he was my favorite of the “young boys” who went on to graduate to a featured wrestler. Had a lot of really fun matches as a plucky underdog that I now want to go back and watch. Damn, RIP.
matwarz Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 So sad. Aoki was a super solid hand I got to watch several times in Japan. He was clearly about to have a good run as jr. champ and a firm hand in guiding AJPW’s increasingly bright future. Next Korakuen will be an emotional one
