I'm really glad I convinced my friend to go watch Gatoh Move when he was over in Japan for Wrestle Kingdom. Despite my envy. I really appreciate how they don't really feel like a traditional pro wrestling company. Chris Brookes goofing on Mei for being so short never stops being funny. But mostly I just really value what Emi is doing as far as training people who would not traditionally get into wrestling, like Lulupencil. It's unique.

"You look like a tall can right?" is the sort of burn Chris Brookes will never recover from. Ideally when he returns to Britain the crowds will chant "TALL CAN" at him any time he wrestles.

Are we sure that's not a heel turn? Sounds to me like she's trying to steal Mei's best bro

Well, it implies he'll be around All Japan enough to be in a group with Yoshitatsu, Yusuke Okada and IIRC Seigo Tachibana. But no, it's not a particularly important group.

I've honestly found it much harder to be invested after the crowds went, far more than any other promotion I can think of.

Alas, it was a lesser Fujita No way to describe BJW Death Match Champion Minoru Fujita. Honestly love seeing the weird and wonderful of Japanese indies that show up from time to time. IMO LuluPencil should join Tokyo Gurentai. This had been the first Gatoh Move I've seen in ages entirely got the main event. (Tho first time Minoru turned up in ChocoPro I got my Minoru's confused and was expecting Minoru Tanaka) it's good content

Just seen the card for Christmas Day Gatoh Move Tag Team Match (20 Min Time Limit) Obihiro Sayaka & Emi Sakura VS Chie Kishikawa & Chris Brookes Christmas Death Match (20 Min Time Limit) Lulupencil VS Antonio Honda Main Event "BestBros" Baliyan Akki & Mei Suruga VS Yuan Mizumori & Hikaru Sato Sato in GatohMove rules. Last time he wrestled for them at Chocolate Square was 2017. I need to watch his recent match vs ASUKA from YMZ's recent return (also ASUKA please come back to Gatoh Move too)

Boy am I glad Gatoh Move are here today because it's either watch this or sit as my dad watches Grateful Dead videos on Youtube. Chris Brookes has a relatable energy level. And he's made another hole in the ceiling. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Dec 25, 2020 |

New Year Death Match from today's show early contender for match of 2021. Just sheer joy watching either very hungover or very tired Emi Sakura & Antonio Honda losing his mind over a mandarin. Exactly what you want. Akki howling with laughter just makes it so much better.

Oh, he did actually work for them last year, tagging with Rin Rin vs Emi and Masa.

Like BASARA 146: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1nv411e7vy I will say it's a fairly non-essential show, Abe is in a squash. But there's a match between 2 guys with Ryu in their name for the rights to the name Ryu so.

The titles are actually belts that go back to 2016.

https://youtu.be/GSrH4TuKq1I This is the one light tube match between Asuka and Akito and it's one of the most ingeniously worked matches I've seen. Of promotions that make tape she mainly wrestles for Diana (shows uploaded to their YouTube), Ganbare (shows uploaded to DDT/Wrestle Universe) & SEAdLINNNG where she is the current champ and has a cool Tag Team/stable too.

In case anyone missed the Puro thread for some reason, Gatoh Move have a match on the Michinoku Pro Korakuen show which happens next Friday. It is the rare Michi Pro to make tape, on the 12th June, so if you want a chance to see Best Bros vs Emi and Yuna at the mecca of Japanese wrestling, you can.

It's showing on SamuraiTV so it will end up on Youtube or Daily Motion or BilliBilli, probably within 24 hours of airing. I'll post the link, because I love to see the 2 Michi shows that make air every year (watch the Great Space War, it's the best loving lunacy)
