NJPW: Cool, here, have a four hour show main evented by SANADA vs EVIL. The main event actually managed to get a million viewers which was better than I think anyone expected, as was the news that NJPW's revenue is now almost at pre-pandemic levels. Will be going to Royal Quest III tomorrow. Bit of a downer in that the show was announced too late and held too soon after the AEW/RevPro shows to do a decent gate seemingly, and my read of the main event is that they're doing the match while they can before both guys leave the company / my wrestling viewing life but should be good graps. They've said they'll continue to do UK shows so upside is that hopefully next time it'll be a smaller venue and I can afford better seats. Initially thought it would be my first time seeing Eddie but then remembered I already had at All In but it consisted of someone pointing to the other side of an arena asking me if I could see him with me repeating that I couldn't, before saying that I could just to get them to stop asking, then seeing a light next to him that identified the area I should be looking at which was my entertainment for the next minute or two. Quite a few Rev Pro guys on the card but I'm not complaining because apparently I'm useless at appreciating up and coming talent (thought nothing of Gabe on the card last year, now he's one of my favourites) and having experience of shelling out for trans-continental flights it seems a financial miracle that it's worthwhile to fly half the roster over for a show like this.

dragonzombie Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 From Tokyo Sports Kinya Okada (30) and Yasutaka Yano (23), former rookie members of Pro Wrestling Noah, were arrested on suspicion of forcible indecency. One groped a woman in her 20s from Sendai in the early hours of April 16th. Their contracts were terminated months ago, on June 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostinube Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Lol. BUSHI and Titan just handled H.O.T.on their own better than SANADA and J5Gs did throughout the whole SANADA/EVIL angle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Suwama won the 6 man tags. Nakajima showed up in AJPW in the crowd. He tossed bouquet of flowers for Kento at Kento after the Triple Crown match. Yuma cuts eerie heel like promos. His thing is being insidious. Onwards to the 52nd year of AJPW.

Control Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Nakajima showed up at the All Japan Pro Wrestling office 56 mins ago.. Mr.Nakajima wants the Triple Crown and he decided that he will take over AJP. He will appeal for the challenge for the Triple Crown on the AJP 11.5 Sapporo tournament or card. His words translated by machine “I will overtake All Japan Pro-Wrestling, and I, Katsuhiko Nakajima, will change the entire landscape of the pro-wrestling world…!!”" The videos are on the AJPW twitter.

dragonzombie Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 That just makes it better. The challenge was accepted. For the Triple Crown, Yuma Aoyagi (c) vs Katsuhiko Nakajima, on 11.5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 They're doing the Fighting Spirit Style vs Royal Road ideologies battle. I'm not sure if Nakajima wins. But if he does, I wonder if he signs with AJPW next year? Or does he stay freelance? Sidney Shota Stephens was raised and trained in Japan. He appeared in AJPW back in 2020 under a different name. He mainly wrestles for Hokuto Pro Wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
