Yeah, I absolutely get where Moon is coming from because I don't understand why or how Fale can be a Trump guy but he's a huge Trump guy.

I hope NJPW comes through Indy because I absolutely wanna ask him. But not like in the gotcha fuckface kinda way because he big.

I legit want to know out of morbid curiosity. Like, I know non-americans take an interest in our politics because we effect a lot of poo poo and we are really messy and funny, the desperate housewives of statecraft but like, why pick a team? And team Trump? Just gawk and laugh, don't touch the poop Fale.

American politics and pop culture is pretty big internationally, and just speaking from Australia I definitely know people who are huge fans of Trump. So it doesn’t shock me at all that Fale’s a trump guy, there’s plenty of them outside of the states.

his twitter likes are basically all rightwing hacks. Its pretty wild. Its been a while since I was following his podcast appearances but I remember him being super into USA, making a lot of remarks about standards of living differences. Could also be him heeling it since to an outsider, its a freebie. Fair play in nationalist tropes, I suppose.

Australian is like the last bastion for the Richard Spencers and Milo's. When America gets sick of them they head over there for some paid speaking engagements.

Not to say all Australians are right wingers. A lot of the people I became friends with over there are full on Marxists.

Anyway, one funny moment when I was living over there was a bunch of my friends talking about some ridiculous poo poo Trump did, and my girlfriend asking why they always have to bring up Trump. And my friend said, "because your country elected him to be President."

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
New Japan is going to look like late 80s WWF for a while: everyone will be so jacked that they can't really do anything in ring

Seriously its remarkable just how BIG everyone is: Ospreay has apparently spent all of lockdown lifting heavy things and is now 230lbs which is, well, bigger than most modern wrestlers and probably not far off where lots of people were in the past.

WTL is evidence of NJPWs comfort as the top promotion in Japan. The fact they can do good crowds with no effort and all the stars off finishing up cycles before WK has basically made the tour one booked on autopilot.

The Suzuki gun v Suzuki gun matches have been a highlight of the last two years. Outside of that it's quite meh. I was one of the only people watching last year and I wouldn't if I didn't live in the same time zone as Japan (more or less). Any American watching it live is dedicated as hell

from da blog posted:

As always, I want to be closer to Taichi, who has been working hard for 5 years, and go up to the ring together. We decided to refrain from appearing in consideration of the safety of everyone involved.

We apologize to all the fans who are looking forward to it, but I believe that NEW JAPAN CUP without Divas will convey your feelings even if you can't go to the venue, and I will continue to send ale with you.

I will reconsider the future while watching the situation.

also moon, WTL can have fun stuff but gedo clearly cares the least about tag wrestling in general, which is why like Guerillas of Destiny has held the belt six times and gives it up to whatever combo from one of the factions gedo feels like the belts should be on for a few months before he gives it back to GoD



e: so wait shes... back with taichi??? as it should be?????

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Maybe it’s a swerve and she’s gonna come out managing taguchi after telling taichi she can’t be with him cuz of the virus.
