That poster has Naoya Nomura. I can hope that he’s healthy and back in action next year.

" Insidious" Yuma wants to become the third or fourth most important in AJP... Kento and Suwama are 1 and 2. Discussed individuality and Insidiousness in wrestlers (Jake Lee) and progressing.

Yeah, I noticed that too.  Perhaps just a nice gesture on All Japan's part, power of positive thinking and all that, but yes, definitely intriguing that he's on the poster.

The Giant Baba Show is a Memorial Show yes? Not a variety show hosted by Hologram Baba with Tenzan and Kojima  doing a Donnie & Marie medley?

Inoki would do that instead, Hologram Inoki while real Inoki is alive.

[Ryan]

He'd wrestle the Hologram and beat his younger self.

Delightful

Would he give them the honor of a Toukon Slap?

Towa Iwasaki and SUGI are leaving Zero1.

[Control]

I’ve read some Twitter chatter that everyone is leaving Z1 except Otani and Tanaka. 
 

 

[DragonZombie]

Zero 1 roster is smaller now with around 10 people.  I think their owners will focus on turning Zero 1 even smaller while focusing on OSU more, all the bigger names for OSU.

Did not realize Yuji Hino turned up in DDT.

[S.K.o.S.]

This is from an Ice Ribbon show in October of this year. Just curious, anyone got any insight on what the rules of this match were?  It appears to be a 10-on-1 Ironwoman handicap match with a title on the line, and the champion gets pinned 8 times, but the final result is a time limit draw and she retains the title?

All I can get from the Ice Ribbon english Twitter account is that it was announced as Risa Sera vs. X in a 60 minute ironwoman hardcore match, so the 10-person team was a surprise.

[DragonZombie]

Risa did something similar and it ended in draw in 2016 and she lost most of the match as well.

That gimmick match is more about Risa going the distance with individuals instead of picking up wins.
