Ah fuck. Add 'Didn't go see Senjo at Shinjuku Face' to the ever-growing list of regrets

No High Speed tonight as I had a late finish with an early start tomorrow (do *not* call 9am meetings if you want to stay on my good side) - its coming this week though. Meanwhile why not check out that match from yesterday I gushed about? I just watched it back & its as good as I thought

Starting a new weekly pro-wrestling match pack series with a pure focus on Joshi Puroresu (女子プロレス) called "Joshi Puro Explorer". If you are interested in getting into Joshi, this is a good place to start. There's 1 match per weekday and I will reveal the bonus match on Friday. #WrestleSky 🤼‍♀️🇯🇵

Get Nyla Rose back on AEW TV already for fuck's sake.

Actually up to speed with the Cinderella (for now) - I will put some thoughts further down for anyone who doesn't want spoiling I've not been doing brackets etc as I've honestly not been paying attention. Its certainly not how I would've liked everything to go, but thats just personal bias.

I see you Koda #tjpw

Alrighty, so welcome back to High Speed History, not the first time we've seen this matchup but something a little different this time around - Kid defends against the newly returned (from acting in a stage play) Natsupoi in the main event at Korakuen Hall 1st Feb 2022, here we go #Stardom

Seem to have temporarily fixed migraines but cutting wildly back on caffeine intake (who would've guessed? 🙄 ) Also its Friday & I pulled Narita Brian from a freebie ticket, so life's pretty good In that spirit, SLK vs Poi, High Speed, tonight!

Sorry folks no High Speed tonight, got a headache so its more slow dark room. Back soon as I can muster.

More Anne + Rian minutes please #Stardom

Its a day ending in y so I guess Windsor gets another unwarranted title shot for 'reasons' Getting silly now

I'm pretty much to the point of not understanding young people anymore, and tbh, I can think of at least a few examples where if I had the chance I'd throw a zoomer into a fight against a bear & a tiger. Not that I would fancy their chances IRL, but hey this is High Speed, so who knows? #Stardom

Did you know Japan had more bear attack casualties in 2025 than any year since records began? Guidance says depending on the type of bear & situation you should either act defensively or aggressively to survive an encounter Which one will SLK choose in this weeks High Speed History? #Stardom

Well, if I remember anything from my NFL watching days its that a whole load of people are probably not working today, & heck, if you're gonna do that then Monday is the best day to do it Monday is *also* the best day for High Speed History, doncha know. This week, Fuzzy Peach collides! #Stardom

For those who didn't see it Stardom put out a fairly lengthy statement around what happened with Kamitani's injury & the processes that were run through, etc. Working in that she faked an injury to beat Tam at DQ24 is great & shows someone's paying attention to details #Stardom

Hazuki pls I need you to stop larping & just lock in for like, a week - the white belt is right there #Stardom

She's freeeeeeee Look TF out world #Stardom

Every now & again I find myself thinking back to this spot & wishing I could've been in the room to see it. I probably would've been thrown out for jumping out of my seat, but it would've been worth it. I love Murata's reaction, he's seen a lot but he couldn't help but mark out like everyone else

Well here we are and it's February already. Time flies, although sometimes the days can drag & you can end up wishing your life away, but then you turn around & another month has gone. You know what doesn't drag? High speed. You know what happens when time passes? You look back at history #Stardom

It's Monday, yours truly is tired & nearly forgot about this, but I *didn't*, and thus welcome back to High Speed History This week - Poi faces Starlight Kid once again, but with a twist, as SLK is going through a goth phase. Will her new attitude be enough to finally capture the title? #Stardom

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

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
