When you've mastered the art of delegation #Stardom

Monday means High Speed, Natsupoi, & this week Monday means *legally distinct & definitely not to be confused with other wrestlers* Fukigen Death - 1st time in the series! Because of course Rossy would never do something like create a copy without acknowledging the original, right..? #Stardom

How I'll sleep tonight / how I'll wake up tomorrow #Stardom

Ok so I'm not saying everything is coincidence, but I think this must be like the 4th/5th time when I'm doing something on this account & there's some odd crossing of fate So with that said, it's High Speed time, with the RECENTLY MARRIED (?!) Natsupoi defending for the 1st time vs SLK! #Stardom

Some people will be like "hehe, I'm evil 😜" Meanwhile Haru, ripping a rookie's arm out of the socket: #tjpw (📸 @star_kirinS2)

Firmly in wait & see mode on Maki. She'll sell some tickets & merch if nothing else but its still a bit of an odd fit. Maybe even more than others who have walked the same path. I will say though, credit where it is due for taking on a new challenge. Would've been easy to keep running in place.

Ah darn Enjoy 'em while you've got 'em

Hey ho, it's the Monday after the weekend that was, it's a new year, resolutions & all that, but here we're still continuing the usual bits & pieces Mondays mean High Speed, & this week we get to take a look at AZM, now up to v5, defending the belt against the high speed fairy, Natsupoi #Stardom

Alright well now I'm just annoyed as New Years Dash '25 absolutely stunk, even without the title matches this seems much more like it Maybe it's me, I attended 4 NJPW shows across 24-25, 3 of them had people get injured, 2 of which resulted in stoppages & the other forced a future cancellation 😭

Well, I can't say that I'm a fan of everything that happened on the Ittenyon show, but my goodness that main was SUPERB All the love to both of them as I had what I *thought* were high expectations, but they blew straight past them Strongest recommend, go out of your way to see Miu-Suzume #tjpw

Alright, let's see what they cooked up for Kamitani's entrance #NJWK20

Ngl I was hoping we'd see Ishii walking out to Taichi's theme. Maybe even do some backing vocals? #NJWK20

Chrissy bringing his boys along to WK is such a nice touch - Akki goes from Ichigaya to the Dome! They could do worse than having these 4 reform Schadenfreude... Forgot the hashtag, whoops #NJWK20

And so, here we are – less than 24 hours away from WK20, & we are finishing off our series looking back at the previous shows. This one will be a little bit different for me as I was at this one, though I haven’t re-watched, aside from the women’s match One last time, it’s Tales from the Kingdom!

Kind of figured Schadenfreude wouldn't last with Masada leaving & Masa being (sadly) out I do slightly wonder if Chris B is going to NJPW for a bit. He's a DDT fan through & through but tbf you could argue he's done everything he can. Maybe a year away like an excursion will benefit everyone.

Alright so, briefly - thought Dream Queendom was good, albeit a bit throwaway/inconsequential - at least for now. Is it possible we'll get a Cosmic Angels breakup? Sure, albeit I imagine they'll be a bit loath to do it with the merch they shift. But fans tend to follow the wrestlers #Stardom

Oh hell, I was looking around for Shadow of the Colossus things yesterday & I found the site that does all the deluxe statues of everything - now I'm in several thousand imaginary debt for all the things I want (+ have no room for) They have a *loyalty* program, which is just crazy to me.

Righto, last one of the year, it's been a bit up & down the last few months (much like the history of the belt itself) but there are reasons to be cheerful going into 2026 This week, AZM continues her 1st reign with a defence against Kaori Yoneyama - never before seen! #Stardom

Breaking your attendance record twice in the same year is kind of crazy tbh, they're clearly doing something right I have thoughts, I'll prob give it a day or two though. High Speed back tomorrow #Stardom

Well, we’re in the home stretch now. 1 week from today, at this time, it will all be over, WK20 will have come & gone. But, until we get there, we still have 2 more eps of Tales from the Kingdom to get through. WK18, let’s go!

How I'm heading into 2026.

Maybe I'll just make this into a Shino reactions account #tjpw

The fan voted top 3 of Tanahashi's career are free to watch on NJPW World until Jan 4 #NJPW 🥉3位 2015/8/14「G1 CLIMAX 25」A Block Match 🆚AJ Styles watch.njpwworld.com/player/47625/s…

It's Tuesday, it's late, but it's all good, 'cause it's High Speed History This week, v2 for AZM against Gokigen Death - ~CLOWN WARNING!~ for those who are sensitive to that kind of thing #Stardom

Well, I guess we know who Sareee is facing at Grand Princess Uranage this, you filthy casual #tjpw

Oopsy, was travelling yesterday and got motion sick on the train for the first time in like, uh...a very long time. So had to sleep that off. High Speed coming later.

Well those are some really unexpected WK participants, what the heck

Hey hey, Tales from the Kingdom, volume 17, crowds are back, a big star from the past is back, let’s get hype!

Can't believe I waited this long to get around to watching In The Mood For Love. One of those early 2000s films where I was torrenting everything in sight & just never got around to actually watching it, unfortunately. Maggie Cheung, my goodness. I just do not have the words.

Haven't touched LinkedIn for months, first thing I see upon entering is a post praising J*** P*** for being a 'disrupter in the boxing world' Just nuke it. The whole thing.

Oh hey guys, #STARDOM put all the Saya Kamitani world title matches back up on their YouTube . You should watch too #AEW fans youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Kamitani 👏 Can't say she's ever been a personal fave, albeit good bordering great sometimes, but the sheer amount of hustle & the cultural impact (I know, sounds ridiculous, but its true) can't be understated She didn't just win, she cleared Tanahashi in his retirement year. I mean come on.

Ohh my lord there's only 4 working days left until Christmas (for me, anyway) That puts me in a good mood, rare thing for a Monday, & so let's keep the good vibes going It's High Speed History, it's AZM's first title defence, & what do you know, it's Eternal Foes with SLK up to challenge #Stardom

It finally occurred to ol’ stupid head over here that the easiest way to get caught up is to do so when you’re not trying to review 2 night events, so what I’m probably going to do is finish the series off by doing WK19 the week of WK20. But, before we get there, more Tales from the Kingdom!

I did legit start writing up WK16 yesterday but then my internet went out for some reason. Should hopefully still have it done today though. In the meantime I watched City on Fire since it had a new 4k transfer recently. Some parts could've been stripped out but still a fun watch.

A million fics all launched at once (Never noticed how jacked Saori is, my goodness) #Stardom

God, it's hard to keep coming up with Monday puns. I might just have to move this around to give myself a chance for new material. Screw it - Monday, High Speed History, 3 Way, Yay! #Stardom

Well, this is going to be an interesting one as I don’t think I ever actually watched this show. No crowd? No problem! (not technically true, there is a crowd but there is quite a problem) WK15, Tales from the Kingdom, here we go!

🧵 Free Sareee match thread w/ links cos y not 🤼‍♀️🇯🇵 - vs Chihiro Hashimoto (II, IV, VI, VII) - vs Syuri (II & III) - vs Meiko Satomura (IV) - vs Giulia (II) - w/ Natsupoi vs Takumi Iroha & AZM (1) - vs Bozilla (II) - vs Arisa Nakajima (IV) - w/ Mayu Iwatani vs Hash & VENY (1) - vs Suzu Suzuki (I & II)

It's Monday, & you know what that means - well, it means a lot of things to be honest - but round these parts that means its High Speed History! Last time, new girl on the block Riho nabbed the title - now it's time for v1 against the former champ! #Stardom

Alright we got a lot to get through with this one as we’re going across 2 nights, new faces, major happenings, it’s all going down Tales from the Kingdom, starto!

P🌍M #tjpw

I require Akira to snap + beat the crap out of Bozilla for being a meanie, please & thank you

19 days til yours truly finishes up for the holidays & oh boy am I counting those days down (every half day gets me 2.5% closer to freedom!) Still, putting that aside, even though it's Monday, there's a reason to be cheerful - High Speed History! This week - DeathRihoDeathKidDeath! #Stardom

And here I thought we were going to get caught up by now. Tsh. Still, we're gradually getting closer, & we've got a pretty good one on tap this week (even being a week behind) with WK13 - lucky for some (?) – let’s take a look

Ok so full disclosure, when I mapped this whole WK series out I completely forget WK14 is 2 nights. Whoops. Kinda throws things out when you're meant to do 1 show a week (not that I've been especially good at keeping to the schedule anyway) Both nights coming before the weekend, WK13 coming...now!

Alright so I'm still working on WK13 but there was a pre-PPV feed of the educational video for fans on what to do, how to behave etc at the shows and I just have to get these out there because they're too good & deserve to run free on the internet somewhere without context

Congratulations 9-5ers you (and I) are officially 20% of the way through the week. Doesn't that feel good? Going quickly, isn't it? You know what else feels good & goes quickly? (careful now) - why it's High Speed, of course! This week, Hazuki has to fear the Kishikaisei vs Saki Kashima! #Stardom
