Corgis love bread. And Puro


Well I'm sure after a wonderful GLEAT card we all feel good & ready for a nice break from wrestling but haha, no, the busy as gently caress period continues & really only slows down on Thursday & Friday. Actually, that's slightly misleading. It's not the busiest week, but almost everything is worth watching. All Japan's New Year Wars double shot feels a bit weaker this year, or at least night 1 does. And obviously there's no Triple Crown match, with Jake Lee hurt & stripped. Abby Kobayashi is demanding on social media AJPW name him interim champ which is hilarious. King of Freedoms match looks potentially great, Gake No Fuchi insanity is back & this time with Prominence, another Takuya Nomura title match in Big Japan & then the start of their Strong Climb Tournament which is always worth checking in on. NOAH give us 2 bangers on 1/1 with the GHC National & Heavyweight Title matches & then we have the 2 Korakuens AND THEN the U-CUP which...far as I can tell the 4 teams are NOAH hometeam, Kongo, LPdMdJ & Stinger & there's a variety of matches over 2 nights. Seems intriguing at least. Oh, & Wrestle Kingdom. First half of both nights looks pretty skippable to me. I don't know how they are doing a repeat of one of my favourite matches of 2021 & yet I am totally cool on it, like I know Okada vs Takagi will rule but the build to it was loving non-existent. Same with night 2, Okada OR Takagi vs Ospreay will be loving phenomenal as a match but where's the build? New Japan was real good at this poo poo not that long ago.

Yamamaura was a really promising young guy in DG whose career was sidelined by injury & he became a DJ while still hanging with Stronghearts. It rules getting to see him even do a little bit like that.

(Also, be a Dragon Gate person, it's cool)

I definitely didn't edit this because I totally got his name wrong like a dope

i only follow 3.5 promotions now (new japan, dragongate, aew, and sorta stardom) but dragongate's definitely been the best booked this year

I'm not really sure why GLEAT would book Miyagi to get squashed like that. Izuchi & Iizuka losing like that, they were impressive in defeat. Watanabe losing to Nakano? Ehhhh, it's his first match back but I'm iffy on it & it did at least establish liver shots as legit in worked shoots. Honestly, Miyagi should have won that, Big Hash is a pro wrestler. Miyagi at least theoretically trains for these matches as part of her regular job. If the only way you can get outsiders is by having your talent all get jobbed out then maybe just run Korakuen Hall instead of TDC.
Until recently Miyagi was the only woman actually under contract (I think they only JUST signed a 2nd), and she wins most of her matches. GLEAT's been trying to push toward signing more women lately, so if I had to guess, I'd say they're trying to book Miyagi to entice more outsiders so it doesn't look like they'll just job out if they come in.

I really should but there's only so much time in the day
DG's schedule is pretty light in the winter and there aren't any PPVs until March, so it's a good time to dip in. All you really need to know is who the factions are, and then it's easy to understand who's who from there and get into their individual personalities. The heel faction R.E.D currently has every title, except for the trios titles which are involved in legitimately one of the best storylines in wrestling right now.

The top 1% of ducks have control of 99.9% of the bread.
You know, it's not every day you can report that you saw Stan Hansen lariat Robocop and then electrify his elbow in a man's anus and use said electrified anus elbow to win a match.

Thanks to the BJW/DDT Trios Shuffle, I can say that this is a thing that definitely happened and I was not having a stroke.

Considering the issues between Ishimori and NOAH, I wonder if there's any chance they'll set up a singles match with HAYATA for the junior belt, HAYATA's only two defences away from breaking Ishimori's all time record.

Of course, if NOAH want him to break Ishimori's record for reign length as well I may have to start watching the VODs and skipping his matches, it'll be painful to watch another 7 months of HAYATA single matches

I must be the only person on SA who isn't a HAYATA hater. Like, he's not good, he shouldn't be Champion, clearly, but I can watch him.

Obviously he should lose to Haoh but that's because Kongo need all the belts as best faction

HAYATA is fine when he's in tags with YO-HEY or Ogawa, but when literally everbody on the junior roster with the exception of Nosawa is better than him then he shouldn't have spent the last 6 months as singles champion. He's a loving black hole of excitement.

And he keeps having time limit draws. Like, who the gently caress is that for?

Catching up with the top of yesterday's All Japan show before this morning's, and watching Sekimoto hit the Deadlift German on Kuma Arashi was seriously impressive. Like obviously the dude is strong, just look at him, but Jesus he's like half the size of Arashi. Get Abby out of the way, give all the belts to Sekimoto.

Especially since Okabayashi beat Nomura yesterday, both members of Strong BJ need big gold

It should be noted that both Naya and Okada were pulled due to being close contacts. The Okada/Koroku match is cancelled and Koroku is taking Naya's match in the 6-man.

Fair, I didn't bother with a GDT since it's a smaller show, you'd think for their actual 25th anniversary event at the end of the month it'd be bigger, but it's just the start of Tag League
