Season 6 starting on February 27th and Best Bros potentially dropping the belts might be an indication of the tournament, but we'll know on Monday anyway.

Akki managed to find the DVD copy of Emi Sakura vs. Riho (Riho's farewell match from Gatoh Move) that he talked about during the tournament preview talk with Mei Suruga.

(it's still premiering now, but it should be just a video once the match is over.

Hey, ChocoPro thread.

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.

Just a week after chie and lulu also debuted

Akki was also spitballing on the livestream this morning about potentially having the three apple queens show up as a regular unit in aew one day, with Mei and Yunamon as a dedicated tag and Emi as a solo leader. Probably not happening anytime soon, but I think that would be a great way to bring Emi back strong and introduce Mei in a spot that gives her some time to ease into aew.

With the potential of some people going over to AEW for a bit, I wonder about the future of chocopro/gatoh move.

I get the feeling chocopro will continue in some form no matter what, since all you need is a mat and a camera. Either it comes to America with Emi, or the folks remaining in Japan take the reigns while she’s gone. She could also theoretically still book it from afar, she just wouldn’t be able to appear herself.

I’m curious what would happen to her trainees if Emi took an extended trip to the US. Do you just have folks like Masa, hagane and Honda take over their training? I don’t know too much about wrestling training but it seems like it would be tough to switch trainers for an extended period.

shida was going back to japan every month to do makai before the pandemic and emi would be in the US considerably less often so i dont think its much to be concerned about really

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
Masa Takanashi being back from his injury would help as well since he always played a strong role in Gatoh Move; both in ring and behind the scenes.

I think it was January 2020 when they announced a big shakeup of roles within the promotion; I assume because Emi wanted a structure there when it looked like she might be working the US relatively often. Masa was always the number 2 but basically he was in charge of the shows when Emi wasn't around; Mei was put in charge of training (impressive since she'd debuted like less than two years before but she played a big role with the 2019 generation of rookies) and I think Yunamon and Mitsuru had roles as well but I can't fully remember and the pandemic made it all irrelevant anyway. If ChocoPro carries on long term (I wonder about that especially when they can run with fans again but who knows) its very unlikely that the three would be in the US permanently or for a very long time and to cover the gaps Masa, the rookies and their usual gang of outsiders could cover the gaps pretty well I think.

If chocopro does end once they can run regular shows again I hope they at least keep the janken tournaments. I’d also love if they kept live streaming their shows but I can understand why they might not want to do that if they’re trying to sell tickets.

ChocoPro looks like it's been a large success outside of just keeping the lights on (Emi was saying it's proved to be the solution to her eternal problem with Gatoh Move, and maybe even Ice Ribbon, how to remain small while getting big). I suspect that ChocoPro will become the Ichigaya show with no to small audiences and the in ring shows with audiences will be branded Gatoh Move.
