2021 Puroresu General Discussion

[Control]

All Japan has pushed back their big Ota ward show to June.

[Spontaneous]

It feels like April 2020, when everything was pushed back or cancelled.

I'm enjoying the no fans DDT Tag League. Afraid it'll get axed too.

Awww, poor Ganbare Pro...

[Spontaneous]

I actually just watched my first Ganbare Pro show the other day! Bad Communication 2021. It was ok. I wasn't sure what to expect, I do not know what their deal is. Too bad they aren't on the main show but Cyberfight really loaded it up.

I thought they were starting a seedy Ganbare women's division, but I'm not sure they are following through.  I would be SOO into it.

[Doragon]

There will also be woman related stuff (Joshi) for FMW-E, Onita expressed desire in training women. The show will be available in Japanese, Chinese, English for the whole world to see. They also have their money backer to help.

 

[Doragon]

Ganbare has HARUKAZE and Yuna Manase signed. Their women division is smaller and not about women titles.

I'm not sure who will be X in that TJPW 10 women tag match.

[Jiji]

Yeah, I watch for Yuna tbh. 

[Doragon]

There will be another Ganbare☆Joshi show in June. They already ran 1 show this year and 1 last year.

[Control]

 

[Doragon]

I guess they could sign more guys, but Lidet will probably just hire and train rookies over time.

[Doragon]

Suwama vs Go 2013. I watched it years ago.

AJPW:

Purple Haze is getting a new member, Junior Class?

 

[Control]

Could be Akira Francesco, or someone like Alejandro or Baliyan Akki. Just thinking of guys they regularly use.

Is Ikuto Hidaka with Noah now?
 

[Doragon]

With NOAH and Ganbare, freelancer.

[Doragon]

Kento may no longer be labeled Ace..he is now "Fighting Salesman" instead. Very Tajiri, Jake Lee style absurdness.
