Archibald Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 On 3/1/2021 at 7:51 PM, D.Z said: IWGP HW was linked to Showa Era to up, the title's youngest and oldest winners and most defenses and reigns and shortest and longest reigns are closed forever. I'm not sure now who, but one of wrestling podcasters has said some time ago that it feels like NJPW has been transforming after Naito defeated Okada and became double champ. Obviously COVID and injuries made things difficult, but when you now look at last year you can kinda see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 It actually looks really good to me. Great final show, with a bunch of ex-partners squaring off. 4/18 is a nice looking little show as well. Will try to do my annual review this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I think Tenryu Project will run two shows a month, first one this year in Shin Kiba, 6 matches. Tenryu said something about Inoki being sick and hopes Inoki will get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Yoshitatsu with Nishimura did special New Japan style training together, they did old New Japan stuff like Hindu squats and push-ups that repeat endlessly several times as many times and rolls, towel pull, bridge, abdominal muscles that step on the abdomen, neck push, etc along with avoiding spears. For hours. Yoshitatsu mentioned NJPW, Inoki and Baba and creating the Royal Road-Strong Style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 1. So they just did that for shits and grins? 2. Has anybody ever used a pool cue in a wrestling match? 3. There's something once you see it in that photo you won't be able to unsee it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Just kayfabe stuff before the actual match with some old real exercise training. In the Muto era they used to do these pre-match stuff where wrestler learns new moves or new style, Sanada learned and tighten his Dragon moves from Fujinami in their own dojo spar years ago. Should be noted unlike the rest in the past, Yoshitatsu is meant to be wacky in both promo and direction wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) In case if anyone was wondering..Jake Lee's trainers were Keiji Mutoh, Atsushi Aoki, Kenichi Yamamoto (UWFI guy), Taiyo Kea, Masakatsu Funaki. AJPW updated their roster page, Nomura is still listed. http://www.all-japan.co.jp/選手一覧 In Covid news, the state of emergency is extended to March 21 for Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba prefectures. May have to wait for summer for normalcy Edited March 6, 2021 by D.Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also look what Zeus did I really hope that JIN being done doesn't mean that we're not getting more Ayato Yoshida in All Japan, because there's no where near enough 2AW that makes the internet for me to get enough of him.

Control Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I feel the same way, but, like, dude’s only appeared once in AJ this year. Not going to count on more appearances, though maybe he’d be easier to book if the 2AW belt was off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Ayato Yoshida is still listed on the updated freelance section of AJPW wrestlers. So we may have to wait and see.

Kang Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Suwama has been appointed as AJPW's new managing director, he wants to improve the fight content. He also eventually wants to run Sumo hall, Budokan, Tokyo dome in the future, but first order of business is to increase running upward 4000 or 5000 for attendance in medium sized buildings.
