Watching New Japan and WWE ppvs on the same weekend really made me appreciate how much less bickering there is at the new japan announce desk. It makes it much more pleasant to listen to.

They sold more tickets than they did for both nights of the G1 Special in way less than half the time. Like way less than half the time, with WM being like two weeks away and close to clear across the country as a thing to contend with. Not bad. Kinda crazy that they're running a big US show and their major spring show literally on back to back Sundays. And a Korakuen show the Friday in-between.

Don screaming at Kevin "WHY DID YOU GIVE HIM THE CHAIR?!" was pretty great. Also Kevin's call of "YOU SON OF A BITCH -- PRICK" No wonder Taka only knows American swear words, he hung out with these two chucklefucks when he was in the USA in the 90s That said, this beats all the English announcing  what a loving goofball. best wrestler in the world, folks

I really love the backstage interview with the Bullet Club. Marty trying to go "WHAT THE HELL" at Cody and Cody just running him over before Marty can reveal Cody's betrayal to play a shoulder for the Bucks to cry on. What a slimy fucker.

Bucks flipping for Omega is a statement of loyalty. That'll probably keep the Tongans loosely allied to them. Elite gotta rack up some wins otherwise expect Bucks to jump to Cody's side. The All In thing has them all awkward. or its all a big work to get to Cody vs Omega at All In but this is more fun, honestly.

I’m sure they all are actual colleagues and friends outside of business but yeah I’m also guessing this leads to Kenny vs Cody at All In, barring New Japan doing it first.

 Cody Rhodes is a well-adjusted young man. (I wanna make a collage of all the times he's looked crazy, but I don't think there's enough room on my computer)

As a note those are like $12-$14 shipped from Amazon Japan with global priority. I mean it’s not cheap per se, but if you ever wanted one it’s not that crazy.

I suspect happenings in Japan are a bigger deal to a Japanese magazine than anything going on in WWE, regardless of who's involved.

As mentioned I guarantee it’s because it came in right before they went to press. That publication has done cover stories on both Asuka and Nakamura going to/being in WWE. It’s not priorities, it’s gotta be the deadlines.

So this Omega angle is leading to a romance right? Because I'm really hoping it will. If that is what they did, would Japan be cool with it? I don't know much about how their culture deals with same-sex couples.

I don't know much about how their culture deals with same-sex couples. People who actually live there can fill in the details but LGBTQ media is kinda weird there. Straight up romance is rare but their tv is littered with lots of implied same-sex romance references.
