I saw some coverage of the NOAH relaunch show and it sounded interesting, especially the main. Any idea when it’s airing/where to watch?

I'd recommend keeping an eye on the Puroresu Dreams Twitter. It's from at least one of the people behind the Real Hero Archive.

I don't pay too much attention but I'd maybe look at it to appear somewhere between 1 and 2 weeks but if I see it before then I will try remember to let you know.

The DDT/BJW shows are regular events. The only difference this year is them doing it on the same weekend (and I guess also DDT not using the Peter Pan name for the show and making it a combined show between their four brands)

DDT and BJW are offering a joint ticket for both shows iirc so it'd be nice if NOAH got in on that given how close they are with DDT.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
NAKAZAWA might not be the funniest or best wrestler in DDT but he was legitimately Kenny's first best friend in Japan and one of his closest friends in wrestling. Back when Kenny was still relatively new in Japan he had been on a DDT show I really wanted to see so I added him to MySpace and asked if he had the footage, he told me he'd ask NAKAZAWA if he could get it for him and sure enough, NAKAZAWA did since it was a show Kenny wanted to have a keepsake of too.

He speaks almost fluent English because he went to College in America for a while, pretty great dude like most of the DDT family.

Jiro "Ikemen" Kuroshio has announced he's leaving Wrestle-1 to go independent and that he wants to go to America and win the world championship of the biggest promotion.

That is pretty similar to what Taiji Ishimori and Shingo Takagi said though...

He has started following AEW fwiw

He's not incredible, but he can go, Nakazawa getting work because of Kenny is pretty far removed , say Hogan getting Brutus work (let's all he grateful for that)

Hopefully Kenny doesn't let Chasyn Rance within 50 feet of the company.

So unlike Ed Leslie, NAKAZAWA is pulling his weight. Until he gets tired and goes home. Not much stamina from having all those fireworks explode in his rear end.

nakazawa absolutely has a clause in his aew contract about no fireworks up the rear end, right?

Most definitely. I mean, if AEW allowed fireworks to be shot from asses, you can bet Ibushi would have signed with them over New Japan regardless of who offered better money.

Interesting. I deal with public sector bureaucracy a lot and it's very complex and lovely but in most circumstances you can navigate it with an attorney that's halfway competent and specializes in it.
