BANG! TV is part of Dory Funk Jr's microscopic Florida indy/school. I think the "TV" part is there to trick students into thinking it's legit.

-There were lots of rumors and drama floating around 10+ years ago about their business/personal relationship with trainee Adam Windsor.
-Marti hated Giant Baba, and when Baba died she got Dory to say some negative things.
-Marti in general seems like a nasty piece of business; makes Dory tough to work with.
-This (new to me, seems emblematic of the Z-list indy scene): http://wrestlingnewscenter.blogspot.com/2012/01/dory-funk-jr-being-sued.html

One time I asked the ivpvideos guy why so many of his older bootlegs called Dory jr. "some guy", and apparently Dory's wife started threatening literally anyone using Dory's name, possibly including reviewers but definitely including people selling legit VHS release of WWF shows on eBay.

Tanahashi has talent but in most cases needs to be carried. I'd honestly say the same thing about Styles because I'm not a fan of spotfests, but in AJ's case at least he has said spotfests. When Tanahashi has an off night he's very bland because his offense isn't particularly great.

I would not expect much for Styles vs Tanahashi.

Tanahashi didn't have a strong 'big match' performance until December 2006. In January 2006 he was in a weird limbo between being an effective underdog and being an effective headliner, and his moveset was part of the problem.

I'm still amazed by Styles' transformation.

I love the names DDT gives their matches. Is this the longest name they've ever given a match or has there been a longer one?

Takagi needs to put her girls through school somehow.

It's a big win-win for both, as DDT gets a big organization backing them and a great outlet through AbemaTV. CyberAgent gets affordable content for their service and easy collaborations with wrestling.

For those who are unaware: AbemaTV is a mobile app that is a free-to-use streaming app that has channels that broadcast a variety of content, such as music shows, news, old school anime etc. They're collaborating with TV Asahi (yes, the company that has a stake in NJPW) for producing original content for their platform. It's mostly viewable through smart devices and computers, which has made it popular amongst the younger demographics.

I would assume their copyright laws aren't as harsh as they are in the US, plus their legal system isn't as prone to garbage lawsuits. So maybe companies will accept smaller dollar amounts for song rights?

Japanese song use rights have to be weird. I haven't researched it at all but I have heard things which are turbo expensive in the US (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson) casually used on Japanese variety shows. And it's not "oh it's cheaper because it's foreign" I'm sure.

The Japanese Music Copyright organization JASRAC has a blanket fee where 1.5% of broadcast revenue paid allows you to use everything they have under their control, including any foreign artists. Since DDT is now affiliated with AbemaTV, they don't have to shell out any money as they are already covered by their parent company.

That's just the Sumo Hall show from August. If you want to throw some money at AJPW, go for it; it's a decent card with two MOTY contenders in the Strong BJ/KAImura tag, and Miyahara/Ishikawa II.
