Here’s Zeus from today in his ring gear:
Wish more musclebound oafs could transition this gracefully out of their roid phase.

I'm trying to read JRR Tolkien's translation of Beowulf, and oh my god this is awful. Why did they make some of y'all read this in high school?
I’m told the Seamus Heaney translation is the only way to go.

I just got my notice of termination from work. 12 weeks to find something else, or I’ll be unemployed.

Damn! I thought that was a picture from twenty years ago.
Instagram filter giving him that youthful glow.

He looks good! He shrunk a lot during his time in AJPW. Now he looks like a junior.
If Big Guns reforms, they’ll need a new name.

Zeus is looking tiny these days

I’m intrigued by Arrow’s Coffin Joe boxset, but I’ve never heard if any of the films after the first two are worth the watch.

I notice Hokuto Omori is missing from the tag league. Wonder if it’s him and, say, Minoru Suzuki or Nakajima, playing the part of the mystery team.

Wow, what an angle!

Tom Baker in a walk, y’all are embarrassing.

Wonder where Yuji Hino ends up. Could be a good fit for NOAH. I’m imagining him bouncing around in AJPW, GLEAT, and BJW though.
-
Less interesting than the Nakajima news:
This highlights that, including Black Menso-Re, AJPW only has six juniors.
Anyway, no filler in the tournament, at least.

Weird, right?
There isn’t anything that’s “up” from NOAH but NJPW, and they certainly don’t need the extra dudes. I can always hope he decides to take a demotion and go to AJPW.

Well, it's just the flash pre-order for the Black Friday sale.... you can still just put it off until Thanksgiving. Either way they're coming for that pay check.
Apparently one of the releases is a 10 movie boxset. Quote from the newsletter:
WHAT DOES THAT MEEAEEAN~?
QuoteWe are proud to present our most ambitious, audacious, and all around home video first, in honor of ten years of Vinegar Syndrome, we proudly present: VINEGAR SYNDROME’S LOST PICTURE SHOW, a ten-film collection of long-thought lost American genre films, all restored from their best-known and surviving elements. This wide-ranging collection covers genres from exploitation to horror to “kids” films to underground vanity projects, and a couple movies so weird they defy description!
Included are: Oliver Drake’s forgotten proto-slasher, THE LAS VEGAS STRANGLER (aka No Tears For the Damned), Larry Crane's murder mystery/nudie, BEWARE THE BLACK WIDOW, Joe Sarno’s stirring seaside drama, DEEP INSIDE, Albert Zugsmith’s notorious bad-taste thriller, VIOLATED!, Walter Burn’s underground sexual freakout, BARBARA, James Newslow’s nuclear holocaust scare film, RED MIDNIGHT, Titus Moede’s ode to forgotten Americana, THE LAST OF THE AMERICAN HOBOES, Carlos Tobalina’s “erotic” morality tale, WHAT’S LOVE?, Charles Nizet’s sex and gore frenzy, THE SEX SERUM OF DR BLAKE (the original cut of Voodoo Heartbeat), and finally Donn Greer’s jaw dropping and unnerving, “kiddie film” and musical, THE RARE BLUE APES OF CANNIBAL ISLE (aka The Pirates of Cannibal Isle).
Vinegar Syndrome’s Lost Picture Show
The other preorders are:
D.A.R.Y.L.
The Prophecy Trilogy
Fatal Games
Also, here’s the description of the mystery titles:“As we’ve hopefully demonstrated in the past, we often save the weirdest and wildest, and most unexpected films as surprises, and this upcoming duo will be no different, including the world 4K UHD debut of a slimy epic from from one of the greatest genre filmmakers to ever live along with another never-on-disc treasure that will surely satiate those craving squirm inducing carnage.“

Kind of amazing that the Saito Bros have defended the GLEAT tag titles seven times.

Ok so I’ve been meaning to post but I’ve been busy as hell.
I’ve been a contract academic for fucking ever. At worst, this means teaching on a course-by-course basis for like $5 grand a pop. At best, I’ve gotten 10-month contracts with some benefits. It has been a bad gig but really I have no other talents to pay the bills.
Anyway, I got a fucking faculty job over the summer. I have a permanent position. No more applying for my job every four months. No more uncertainty. I have a good salary, and a pension plan, and spending accounts, and I’m now full-time member of a department.
So I bought a goddamn house.
I honestly never thought I’d have any of this stuff and I still haven’t wrapped my head around it.

I think I’ve only seen HAREM KEEPER OF THR OIL SHEIKS and it was pretty gross.
Still, I have a soft spot for sleaze.

AJPW "GIANT SERIES 2023 ~ HOKKAIDO EDITION", 05.11.2023 (Evening Show
Hotel Emisia Sapporo
- Takao Omori & Yoshitatsu vs. Hikaru Sato & Sidney Shota Stephens
- Dosanko Special Tag Match: Black Menso~re & Tomoya vs. Noriyuki Yoshida & Hokkai Kumagoro
- Jr. Premium Six Man Tag Match: Atsuki Aoyagi, El Lindaman & Fuminori Abe vs. Dan Tamura, Rising HAYATO & Jonathan Gresham
- Minoru Suzuki & Hokuto Omori vs. Suwama & Ryo Inoue
- Jun Saito & Rei Saito vs. Shuji Ishikawa & Ren Ayabe
- Kento Miyahara & T-Hawk vs. Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai
- Triple Crown: Yuma Aoyagi (c) vs. Katsuhiko Nakajima
Though I get the reasoning, it’s a shame to end Yuma’s reign with such an obvious kill shot. They’re not going to introduce Nakajima into AJPW with a loss, but it’s crap for him to walk into a TC match and unseat Yuma with no preamble.
