OZ Academy billing their main event as the most evil main event in Yokohama Buntai history is amazing and I'm way more hyped to be at this evil main event than the EVIL main event the next day.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
Marvelous, OZ Academy and Sendai Girls are all live streaming press conferences about "the future of women's wrestling" at 3pm JST on the 27th and unless all three of them independently came up with the same idea I guess that its the same thing.

First thought is that considering that the three promotions doing this are the GAEA legacy promotions that its GAEAISM related: Mayumi Ozaki and the other OZ Academy wrestlers were a notable absence from that show since, well, Ozaki is sort of important in the history of GAEA is that its linked to GAEAISM: the GAEA 25th anniversary show that was postponed to January earlier this year. I don't think you can rule out it being anything else though: if it was related to a show that's already announced wouldn't you call it a GAEAISM press conference rather than it being done by the three promotions independently.

If it is anything more its notable since Nagayo and Ozaki don't seem to have worked with each other since GAEA folded and from a quick look OZ Academy signed wrestlers haven't worked any Marvelous talent ever so it'd be two of the promotions that don't work with each other starting to work with each other.

It's clearly GAEA related but idk what. Maybe after CyberFight it could be them financially hurting and think pulling together and pooling their resources is the best option. I kinda hope not cos the three promotions have unique characteristics that I wouldn't want diluted.

e: maybe not GAEA related, Pure-J are involved which is the JWP successor promotion

TigerxEnemy was a tough boss fight in Yakuza Kiwami 2

Teams for this thing were chosen in an interesting way: the twelve most junior wrestlers in the field chose a partner from the twelve most senior wrestlers in the field with the least experienced wrestler picking first - other than Suzu Suzuki who as current ICExInfinity champion chose her partner last and ended up with Maya Yukihi who she defeated for the title a few weeks ago. In addition, other than defending champions Orange Sunrise who were allowed to remain a team, wrestlers were not allowed to pick a person that they'd teamed with previously in this tournament.

There's some disagreement over whether BANDE was chosen because its German for bond (Maika Ozaki says this is what it is) or as a shortened form for "boobs and enemy" (Ram Kaichou and fellow RebelxEnemy member Maya Yukihi claim that was their intention) which is a very Ice Ribbon disagreement to have. "Shishimai Potato" . Also the Syuri/Tae Honma team are apparently called "Favourite".

In entirely unrelated news: Yoshiko announced that she's releasing a cookbook next month!

SEAdLINNNG are doing Yoshiko vs. Sareee for the title on September 24th. I guess it's a pretty funny turnaround that Sareee quit SEAd because they wouldn't let her wrestle for WWE and now she's back at SEAd because she couldn't wrestle for WWE.

So the big announcement was almost all the joshi promotions banding together to form a new promotion ASSEMBLE. SEAdLINNNG and Stardom working together is very interesting for many reasons.

I wonder if it's the preamble to an online network to counter Tokyo Joshi Pro's presence on Wrestle Universe and market more broadly outside of Japan.

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.

Wait so are all of the companies being folded into this entirely or is it more like each of them will continue to run their own shows then occasionally have huge super cards under the assemble name?

Hearts which is apparently Yumiko Hotta's new promotion which she's either stealth announcing here or I must have missed.

Also if it's the Emi/Tsukka bad blood that prevented Gatoh Move from joining this then I can only imagine what happened that was worse than the Rossy/Nanae bad blood.

Emi apparently said on the ChocoPro stream today that she was invited to send a match in but felt that it wouldn't be right to do that since Gatoh Move aren't running shows in front of fans at the moment, nor are Gatoh Move wrestlers working other shows.

That's understandable. The fact that Emi is doing something in a walled garden at the moment doesn't mean she's unsupportive of people doing something else.

Itoh vs. Mizuki was the match I was most excited to see and drat if it didn't deliver. And in the undercard, I'm glad Mahiro is getting a real thing to do now in her teaming with Kamiyu. It's always fun to watch when a rookie gets to elevate their character and I like their genuine odd-couple friendship.
