Fucking hell
That’s potentially another blow to Nomura’s career. No CC for him this year either.

9. Triple Crown: Yuji Nagata (c) vs. Shuji Ishikawa
Pretty fun-looking show.Wonder if Suzuki can get anything out of the Saitos? I’m not a big Soya fan, but that tag title match has the potential to be great. The TC match could be real mediocre, but I’m intrigued. I wonder if Nagata can take Shuji’s big moves.
X in match 2 is one of the Xs for the Carnival. Because of the presence of Tenzan, there’s speculation that it will be Kojima.

Rather have Yuma Aoyagi as GHC champion.
Yuma (or Nomura) should dethrone Nagata. Kento can’t be TC champ forever, and he could bring some superstar charisma to NOAH. But I’d be happy either way!
I expect Kenoh-Soya might get AJ’s tag belts, which is too bad, since Nomura-Yuma deserve a longer reign, but could at least lead to some good matches.

Yeah, fuck this shit.

Hear me out: Kento Miyahara, GHC Champion.

Are any of the Shining Force games after 2 worth playing?

On the one hand, I don’t think Onita would bring anything to the CC.
On the other hand, eh, why not?

The most visibly angry reaction I’ve seen from a award-losing nominee was Burt Reynolds when he missed out for BOOGIE NIGHTS.
While I think that the Academy is fully capable of being racist, I was a bit disappointed by how many people claimed that only racism could explain Angela Bassett’s loss. She was great, but in a small part of a pretty middling movie.
If the award had been for hottest actress or best arms, she’d have won in a landslide.
(Angela Bassett deserves all the awards, but hard to see this, in particular, as a snub)

Muto and Okada interview
https://article.auone.jp/detail/1/6/12/22_12_r_20230310_1678398271776047?page=2
Muto confirmed The Rock could had been Muto's final opponent. But the Rock costs too much.
Muto wants to revive Pro Wrestling Masters cards, lots of active wrestlers are older now and could participate.
Lol, so Rock could have been Muto’s last opponent to the same extent he could be my first.

Interestingly, Pluto is starting to show the Gizmoplex eps. Santo in the Treasure of Dracula and Robot Wars have shown today and Beyond Atlantis is on deck.
Yes, now that the annual pass has expired, they’ve licensed season 13 to Pluto. Good idea: hard to get new eyes on the product otherwise.
I thought the riffs were really good this season, so it’s worth a watch. MUNCHIE might be my favourite.

AJPW CC 2023
Two blocks this year with mysterious X's
Block A
Yuma Aoyagi, Kento Miyahara, Yoshitatsu, Ryuki Honda, T-Hawk, Jun Saito, Cyrus, X
Block B
Suwama, Shuji Ishikawa, Shotaro Ashino, Naoya Nomura, Hokuto Omori, Rei Saito, Yuma Anzai, X
Pretty underwhelming. I wouldn’t put the Saitos in myself, but I can see why the company wants to do so.
At the very least, there should be a string of very good Nomura matches. I’m curious to see how well he and Ashino work together.
The online speculation is that NOAH guys will be announced as the Xs: possibly Nakajima and Soya, since they’re in the six-man tag at the retirement show. And they’d be better than some options, for sure, though I’m not high on Soya.
I’m hoping either Ashino or Nomura get the win.

Sigh. Another month and still no Z upgrade.
THE CONFESSION also remains OOP. Costa-Gavras, like Bertrand Tavernier, is a major director who has not been well-served on bluray.

TARGETS is a nice choice, and a good cover.
