no and there's no words if that's ever going to change. Which is a shame because I really took a liking to the new sleazy indie noah.

Is the AJPW archive dying too?

Yes. I'm currently grabbing as much of the Joshi stuff as I can, and then I hope to move onto the shoot style promotions. If someone could grab the shoot style stuff, it'd help a lot in preserving this older content that isn't going to be on a streaming service.

Mutoh's having knee surgery to have artificial joints replace his broken-rear end real ones. So he's going to do one more moonsault in an eight-man tag at Korakuen.

Kobashi started using the lariat as a finish in 1996 but still did dozens of moonsaults a year for a while and is now pretty much a cripple. Mutoh started using the shining wizard in 2001 but still did moonsaults regularly and now he will need to become a cyborg. Misawa was the old partner cop who got shot a week before his retirement about to retire because of his bad neck but still took a backdrop driver in that tag match.

The ratio of restaurants to people in Japan is pretty close to 1:1.

coconono posted:

And he has relied on a style that focuses on personality and submissions rather than bumps or top rope moves. Hmmmm.

A similar example is Tenryu's very simplistic style based around taunts and small strikes allowing him to be awesome at a point in his career where most guys would be jokes or retired.

This. It’s well worth checking out Tenryu’s matches with Muto and Kojima from when he was 51 and 52, because he absolutely shines and he makes his opponents look amazing too.

Even working a smart style like Tenryu, he's still in very rough shape at this point. I don't think you can do a hard Japanese style for all those years and come out without having your body broken.

Sounds like he's saying he wants to be in either WWE or NJPW.

There are also rumours swirling around that *potential spoilers for the last NOAH show* Kenoh making this longer so it's not obvious by the length may quit.

Ishimori leaving NOAH doesn't surprise me, and I expect after a few years he'll be back.

I am really surprised that Kenoh dropped the title on his 4th defense. I figured they'd run it up to at least 10 before swapping out.

The ones that have been streamed free on Abema have been streamed free on DDT Universe as well so far. That might change because this is a Sumo Hall show and not Tokyo Joshi Pro in Shinkiba but I'm going to assume not. I'm subscribed to DDT so I still have to choose.

I just watched this show and was quite surprised at Kenoh losing.

Go Shiozaki vs Kaito Kiyomiya was brutal as hell and the main of Kenoh vs Sugiura was drat stiff as well.
I could do with fewer tag matches though. That tag title match with Yone/Quiet Storm felt like it lasted two hours, it was so slow paced and boring.

I still can't get over Sugiura having open heart surgery in June and coming back to wrestling in October. That is some insane poo poo.
