If your primary outlet in 2018 is ROH, I fully support someone ignoring your advice.

Daniels ruled almost completely, aside from that time he booked himself to be ROH champ for like a month, and even then it was only because he only let himself have it very briefly

chris daniels's gimmick is fascism and last year he kept selling his loving comics at ROH's merch tables while the wrestlers who actually mattered were in the autograph section and it was frankly depressing, can't believe someone wouldn't want to learn from that

Within the spirit of the weekend, the SHIMMER twitter account is tweeting tanks to various alumni. Most interesting is that they've acknowledged Portia as a former booker and producer. I think most SHIMMER fans knew but this is them going on record:

Why would Portia Perez be interesting for Shimmer to bring up? Was she not on any shows or was there a bad relationship? I don't know the connection.

I think he's specifically referring to her being on the booking "team" at SHIMMER, which isn't really news. She hasn't been to the last several tapings, but Kevin Harvey has actively talked about how the SHIMMER booking team has consisted of some variation of himself, Dave Prazak, Portia and Alison Danger in the past. They were even Skyping her in for a few shows after she retired. As far as I know, Portia and Prazak still have a good relationship, but she's no longer attending shows and has seemingly moved on from wrestling altogether.

I don't think Danger is that actively involved either. Despite the nominal split between RISE and SHIMMER, I'm still seeing a lot of Kevin. Also, Mercedes is really running roughshod over the back. I see a product removed from fun and I hope something happens where they can recapture that.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And I'm not afraid to die.

My favorite Ray story is her always showing up to the SHIMMER after parties still wearing her mask (Leon as well) and laying into Pink Flash Kira who wasn't wearing hers. The next night, Kira was wearing her mask to a bar in Berwyn. It was ridiculous, but I always had a lot of love for her demanding that level of respect for wrestling traditions.

One of my favorite stories. I feel like that is part of the reason Courtney Rush keeps something to cover her face to protect the Rosemary gimmick in public.

Please do not say Impact is a big stage. While they are still on a TV station in the US, I can't imagine that would last for much longer considering they only pulled in 98,000 viewers last week.

Here are a couple of pictures of Hiroyo Matsumoto from the Koenji Fes 2018 exhibition match. She wrestled Itsuki Aoki, who I didn't know. The ring was set up in a tiny park across from Koenji Station, and there were a couple of other exhibition matches before and afterwards but were not joshi. (Apparently one of those matches had a dude taking a suplex onto the crosswalk, but I wasn't around for that!) I took video, but my phone is being a pain at the moment. It was a fun match all in all!

Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago...

The May 3 2018 Korakuen show, for sure - especially Hyper Misao vs. Jun Kasai and Miyu Yamashita vs. Rika Tatsumi. All Miyu's title defenses have been good, really. Speaking of Miyu, her match with Meiko Satomura in August 2017 is a must-see, too.

One of my low-key favorites this year was (the former) Nodoka Oneesan vs. Miyu Yamashita from the Princess Cup tournament but admittedly I'm biased because I really, really like Nodoka and seeing her get a Cinderella run in the tournament was downright heartwarming.

Got a group to watch this one and it was a blast. Hyper Misao is rapidly becoming a favorite among my friends.

The backstory on that one is earnestly touching. tldr: Misao was severely depressed and barely left her room after graduating college, with no idea what to do with her life, until one day she randomly saw Kasai wrestling at one of DDT's street wrestling shows and he inspired her to become a wrestler. She asked for the match to show him how far she'd come since then.

She says she mostly lived off of cheap convenience store creme puffs as a shut-in - that's why her stipulation for their match was that falls didn't count until you'd eaten a whole bag of them.

GEORGE W BUSHI

The best moment of that match for me was that stipulation immediately being forgotten when Misao attacked Kasai, then it coming back when Kasai tried to pin her near the end and the referee giving him a bag of cream puffs.

In tragic news, Maki Ito only finished third in the general election.

How did Ito lose when she had such a sizable lead in the elections?

GEORGE W BUSHI

Probably the electorate being increased by 7000 voters after Peter Pan. The reaction when she was announced as the leader on Majimanji was audible confusion so the DDT fans who don't watch TJPW probably swung it.

You could vote once if you have a DDT Universe subscription, and then once again for every DDT show you attended, but not any of the sub-promotions like TJPW. So she got a strong lead early on from all the foreigners and TJPW fans, who only had one vote each, and the gap closing was inevitable, especially with an influx of Peter Pan voters. Or it's all worked.
