He's 'chief archer' for the traveling Cirque du Soleil production 'KA'. I still can't fathom trusting him to do anything physical that might involve grace.

Seriously, though. Glad the company is back to having a good champ.

To put into perspective the last time I properly dealt with Chikara, I'm still upset at him for stealing Archie's girlfriend.
Mark-ness aside, good for him. He's been with that company forever, about time they gave him the title.

What's the word on Chikara showing up on Powerbomb.tv? I'm willing to give it a chance again whenever that actually happens.

At the very least, there's a joint show they did with Beyond called Clan Wars that's up on there. Otherwise, no idea, since Chikara has its own streaming service.

But yeah, this development is a good thing because while it's agreed that this has been a good season for the promotion, their title picture has turned off a lot of people. They gave it to a guy who is talented enough, but not right for being the top heel and tried to make up for it by having him go over all the top faces over sixteen months.

Also, King of Trios is in a couple weeks and this is happening.

I do not understand why Yakuza has become so deeply intertwined with Japanese wrestling, but outside of Majima simply existing, it's my favorite weird quirk in a weirdly-quirky-as-gently caress series.

Puro is a big part of Jspanese sports culture and the actual Yakuza has had their fingers in that pie quite a bit over the years.

Plus Yakuza is a beat 'em up and Japanese beat 'em ups initigrate wrestling moves a lot.

The best part is that cutscene happens after you see this for the first time.

The Yakuza games rule because you an stab a guy through the heart with a sword and then throw them off a bridge and then they'll pop back up after the fight, say sorry and give you a can of coke.

Then you can go sing Karaoke and watch softcore porn in a basement.

Then a dude in his underwear will pop by and beg you to go buy him an energy drink because he accidentally didn't jerk off and now he can't get it up anymore.

The games absolutely rule and I can't wait for the PC releases to catch up to the ones with the New Japan guys.

My favorite was in 2 (?) where you stumble upon a group of dudes being adult babies with hookers and they pressure Kiryu to baby it up with them. After you beat their diapered asses Kiryu gives a stern admonishing that you shouldn't push your fetishes on others.

I personally like how Kiryu does everything sternly faced, be it beating people up, karaoke, dealing with his superiors, disco dancing, car chase shootouts, arcade games, etc.

Also, him agreeing to get a kid something from a vending machine because his mother wouldn't because unbeknownst to both he and the kid it was a porno mag was great too.
