This show is intense from the beginning with the pencil/otoki match. I was expecting more comedy from that match and while there was comedy, they really went hard in their match.Up to Makoto/Mitsuru vs Ryo/Hanako tag and this shows been full of bangers so far.

She often brings some to Dropkick after the restaurant closes. It's good.

I know she's retired but they should get Aoi to be the all-times referee whenever possible from now on. Her enthusiasm was so awesome.

I don't know if Aoi Kizuki does it but Gatoh Move does have some retired ex-wrestlers that referee/ring announce every so often: if you go back to the shows that had fans you'll see Seina (Riho's older sister) show up every so often as a referee years after she retired.

Really good match between Mei and Saki and I think I see some heel tactics from Mei in pulling the hair and in not letting Apple Mutilation go so quickly, though regardless of all that, she's been putting on some great matches this season.

Mei's frustrations starting to boil over will be a great story when they have her finally explode.

It's amazing she only has two years in because she does not look out of place with all of these wrestlers who have 8 years or more experience.

There was this run from mid 2018 to mid 2019 (starting with Mei actually: Yunamon debuted first but it took her a bit longer to find her feet I think) where there was just this continual, constant flow of Joshi rookies who debuted, were almost immediately great and it ruled: you had Mei in Gatoh Move, Utami Hayashishita in Stardom, the three Marvelous rookies, Suzu Suzuki in Ice Ribbon; probably some others I've forgotten. Its worth searched on their YouTube channel to watch some of her early matches: they have a load of them on there including some very early stuff (her debut against Emi is up plus a lot of other matches they had, her second match was against Mitsu and that's there; matches against Riho and Command Bolshoi from the first couple of months as well plus they put up a pre-debut Exhibition Match that's really interesting since its weeks after she started TRAINING). That's actually a thing about Mei: the gap between her starting with Darejo and debuting in Gatoh Move was nothing, it was a couple of months at most between her starting to train and her debut match. Was a really interesting time to follow: following rookies from day 1 is one of the best bits of Joshi and that run was great because there were just so many at the same time.

Mei overslept and was three hours late to the SummerSlam watch party. This did not bother Emi.

What bothered Emi is that Mei had eaten the leftover soup she was hoping to reheat today.

SOUP UPDATE: Mei did not eat Emi's soup, she put it away nicely. Emi then spilled it all over the inside of the fridge.

Also they gave Mei a Red Bull and you can probably guess what happened.

there's a ChocoPro show tomorrow at 8pm JST/12 midday BST/7am EDT (announced yesterday when they released that they were talking about a show that they'd never announced a date or time for) that's going to be the first ChocoPro ring show, and therefore the first ChocoPro show not to be in Ichigaya Chocolate Square. It will also feature the ChocoPro debut of Chie Koishikawa.

Card is:

Emi Sakura + Lulu Pencil vs Sayaka Obihiro + Chie Koishikawa
Yuna Mizumori vs Hagane Shinno
Chris Brookes + Mitsuru Konno vs Mei Suruga + Baliyan Akki

Chie has more energy than Mei, which is amazing. They were joking that the only two people who can outshine Mei are Chie and Aoi and I think that is a fair assessment.

Akki said he was probably fine to wrestle today, but pulling Mitsuru gave them an opportunity to rest his shoulder as well.

He mentioned that this is a particularly expensive show to put on (presumably renting HEAT UP's ring), so if y'all typically give them money they could use an extra donation. I didn't need the signed photo so I just sent them the 2750 yen they asked for on paypal.

That reminds me, now that I finally have money I can support them on Patreon.

Ahh I’m horribly behind, didn’t even have the chance to watch Lulu vs Honda yet and won’t be able to watch today’s show until much much much later.

I really enjoyed the main event and being in a big ring works to Lulu Pencil's advantage.

She thrives being in a hold and the Chocolate Square mat makes it just a little too easy to escape.
