WSU got bought by AIW and their previous twitter person decided to go into shitfests using the WSU twitter handle. So it got deleted and rebuilt. Hence the 300000000 requests for followers you see.

Now follow them or I'll hit you sticks.

I will gladly follow them, once they stop spamming for follows. :cool:

Oh and sidenote but Sakura Hirota got married about a week or so ago apparently.

I wasn't sure who that was, so I Googled her name, but the first link didn't have a picture. So then I clicked on pictures and it looks like there is another Sakura Hirota who does porn! Now I'm fired. :(

Main event will probably be awesome, but the card overall is pretty darn weak, at least as far as wrestlers I know.

If you have sent me messages and emails please bear with me I've been inundated with messages of support and enquiries for booking and learning to train, I promise I will get round to you all, this is just amazing, thank-you everybody for your kind words and support, it has taken us a bit by surprise and we are grateful to everyone who took time to watch the documentary and give thoughts on it and for not slagging us ;) I can say from all of us a huge thank-you you have made us feel very humble. We were a bit dubious letting our home life be watched by so many and was anticipating the reaction from the UK and watching it ourselves was very frightening, nerve racking and very emotional, but who was to know how well it was to be received I am overwhelmed :)and as for a series.........lol you will have to wait and see :)

That wacky BLOW promotion signed Jillian Hall to their roster, and the "special invited guest", according to their website, is the dude who made Wrestlicious. This is a silly promotion.

Oh, and Shine 2 is tonight on iPPV at WWNLive.com, if you're in the mood for some cheap rasslin.

On FlameingBlack's recommendation I bought the Ice Ribbon Korakuen Hall show from May 5th from IVP. I'm only 3 matches in, but it's worth the $1.50 so far.

For those who don't know, Ice Ribbon is a joshi promotion in Japan that has a solid roster and has a good mix of comedy and athleticism. They don't use a lot of older joshi legends like some of the other feds. It's a good watch!

I bought this Stardom download from our friend over at IVP Videos, and while it wasn't wall-to-wall great wrestling, it was fine enough.

The one thing to note is Sarita is on tour with the promotion right now, and she tears it up. She pretty much only does spot->spot->spot->spot with next to nothing called in the ring, but I had forgotten how awesome an athlete she is, what with her foray into TNA.

So basically, Stardom is a pretty fun looking promotion.

I haven't seen any Shimmer from back when Mschif was champion for like 2 years. Did she ever have a really highly regarded match? I've always seen her as a decent wrestler, but behind a lot of the other Shimmer regulars, so I'm curious what someone who kept up with the product back then thinks.

Is it known if there's going to be a way to watch Stardom's big show next week? I kinda want to know how much I should gnash my teeth and rend my garments over Act's new everything (Just when I find out about a rad person, they go and get rid of all the rad parts :mad:)

There's a good chance IVP gets his mitts on it, being he's gotten much smaller Stardom shows. At least I HOPE he does. :sweatdrop:

I definitely can't make myself watch the video, so I'll just ask this - people were speculating when the video first dropped that Act's initial few strikes seemed legit, like she was throwing real punches. This isn't a value judgment about whether that justified what Yoshiko did, but I'm curious if that seems like the case to most of you who watched it.
