Corgis love bread. And Puro


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.

The 4 person chain submission and lulu just wedging herself between Mei and Mitsuru were fantastic spots.

This was my first time seeing ASUKA in action, and I definitely agree that she is :coal: as gently caress.
Feel it is obligatory at this point to recommend ASUKA vs Akito 1 light tube deathmatch from last year.

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.

Is there more if a face mood than sleeping through most of a WWE show? I think not

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. Yoshitatsu seems to just be pressganging people into it, it's weird

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.

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.

Sounds like you should be watching Pro Wrestling BASARA then, as that's his home promotion.

(And more importantly Fuminori Abe's. Speaking of Abe, Gatoh Move feels the only indie he doesn't work. Should sort that out.)

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

I legit thought it was because of the pandemic

it sucks they're no longer making tape now that they're separate from DDT

I was hoping it'd be a TJPW or NOAH type deal, officially separate but still producing stuff to watch

oh well there's still 3 years worth of events to watch on Wrestle Universe

Edit: cagematch says they're putting stuff on NicoNico but that's hard to call easily accessible

Some of their stuff also makes SamuraiTV which generally makes it easier to find on various foreign tube sites. 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.

Dumb question, but I see titles on the line for ChocoPro now, are they going to be a long-running thing or just something for ChocoPro 100?

The titles are actually belts that go back to 2016. The Super Asia Title was only ever held by Riho & was vacated when she left, Asia Dream Tag Titles were won by Emi & Yonemama just before ChocoPro launched (the 2nd last Gatoh Move show with fans)

PURE-J title is the singles belt of the promotion PURE-J

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.

That's a great offer match. Where is it going to be available?

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)

This was the first Chocopro show I watched (hell, the first wrestling show I watched in years) and seeing a campatriot (AKARI) wrestle was the cherry on the sunday of fun wrestling. Consider me a fan now.

Which other Chocopro shows/matches are considered either essential or just plain fun?

ChocoPro #53, Mei Suruga vs Ryo Mizunami
#89 with Mizunami vs Yuna Mizumori and best of all ASUKA & Emi Sakura vs Best Bros
The Masa Takahashi Produce show from 13/7 is tremendous, Masa vs Abe, Neo Biishiki-gun vs Emi & Yuna, and Brookes & Sakaguchi vs Akki & Fujita

And that's without touching on the Brookes Lulupencil glory
