And after the main event loving Yoshitatsu the undercard dork comes out to challenge Suwama I'm assuming. And I just realised old rear end Suwama is approaching the 1 year anniversary of his title win. Which is bewildering.

Sometimes watching All Japan feels as frustrating as watching WWE.

Yoshida not being in the Carnival still has me bewildered.

I believe he's still 2AW Champion and I suspect they don't want him dropping a bunch of falls while he's their champ: and considering how he was always placed in AJPW that's what he would have done.

I mean, it's 2AW. As much as I enjoy 2AW, it's very indie. They gain more with Yoshida getting eyes on on him in the Carnival. I dunno, just a bit of a daft concern to me.

At this point AJPW is barely above an indie.

Think I might give Wrestle Universe a shot this month. I'm falling off with New Japan a bit and oddly finding Ibushi not all that exciting as champ. Plus, if Scurll is actually back... gross.

I'm assuming there's no easy way to use Wrestle Universe on a TV or Fire Stick other than in a browser? Is the experience okay?

The Stardom website, especially after the "upgrade" kinda sucked in that regard and it logged me out pretty regularly which is very annoying for a TV user.

It's been perfectly fine for me. There have been some issues with the stream (especially during Kawasaki Strong) but I think that was mainly caused by unexpected demand and they put the matches up on youtube afterwards as a make good.

Catching up with DDT's show from yesterday, and that Heavymetalweight title match is an absolute trip. Didn't realise that it was a Saki Akai photobook until I checked out DDTpro_eng, she's changed so much in 15 years. It also continues to tickle me the intermingling between DisasterBox and All Out, both with Sauna Club as well Akito/Hirata holding the 6-man titles while representing different stables.

e: and now All Out are disbanding, rendering half of this post moot, what excellent timing

The first time I saw Yuki Ueno I decided that Ibushi remembered he really liked wrestling for DDT so he went back to the past, cloned himself, and brought the clone to the future to wrestle for DDT.

They used to have a bunch of novelty titles, so much I think they had a 12 person unification match. "Gay World Anal Champion" is an all-timer.
