Those Days Episode Eight Drops Tomorrow!

Dragongate have a show in Korakuen on Wednesday which is one of the most stacked cards they've put in that building in many a year. The best version of the main event is a MOTYC and there's a shit load of potential on the undercard. Good time to get on the Dragongate Network

Small writeup I did over at @pwtorch.bsky.social www.pwtorch.com/site/2025/09...

I'm in my absolute element here with this Oiwa vs. Uemura match. God if you're depressed about the state of modern wrestling, will this thing ever cheer you up. Intensity, a feeling of competition and a care for details. Bless these two.

Had a lot of fun doing this. Seems like I was the high vote on: Kosei (3) Jacky (5) Akira (6) Momo (10) Moriarty (27)

🚨 VOW's 2025 30 Under 30 list is here! 🚨 Check out the definitive 30 under 30 list in pro wrestling! In this post, we outline the project, introduce our panel, and highlight every wrestler who received votes but didn't make the top 30. www.voicesofwrestling.com/2025/06/04/t...

RIP Sabu youtu.be/V3pbWYsuVII?...

Some changes Spencer Torkelson has made: - Stands MUCH further back in the box (3rd greatest depth among right handed hitters) - Slowed his swing down - Drastically opened up his stance - Cut down his swing and miss on breaking pitches (small sample)

THOSE DAYS: A MICHINOKU PRO RETROSPECTIVE launches tomorrow on the Open the Voice Gate feed. We’ll cover the improbable rise and devastating collapse of a promotion that influenced wrestling on a global scale. Subscribe now to listen to Episode 1 tomorrow!

You know, when you actually look at the state of the Giants roster, the idea of Bryce Eldridge pulling a Jackson Merrill this spring doesn't seem that farfetched.

On February 15, 2025, wrestling lost one of its greatest innovators. This is the story of Gran Hamada, one of wrestling's greatest underdogs. Drop everything you're doing & read this amazing tribute and obituary from @openvoicegate.bsky.social's Case Lowe. www.voicesofwrestling.com/2025/02/15/t...

The plan for 2025 is to watch each and every Dragongate show that hits the network. There were ~80 shows uploaded last year which if repeated will be doable. Match recommendations will be broken down into 3 categories: Good, Great & MOTYC. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

POV: your best friend is the most important champion in wrestling.

The G in IWGP stands for Goto!

📻 NEW RADIO VOICE The Marlins are hiring Jack McMullen as their play-by-play announcer, sources tell Fish On First. McMullen was previously calling games for Triple-A Indianapolis (Pirates affiliate) and serving as Just Baseball's director of podcasting.

Excellent main event at Korakuen today. Fujita putting Zack’s teachings to use with Zack watching from the balcony was one of those special camera NJPW shots. Pe was also great in his role on offense and defense alike. Excited to see them square off again!

Really enjoyed the Nagata/Takuya vs Abe/Iwamoto tag on the Baba Memorial show.

During his time in America, Osamu Nishimura ventured to Philadelphia to wrestle in Extreme Championship Wrestling. His run included matches with greats like Chris Benoit and Shane Douglas (not in the video) and an underappreciated gem against Sabu in a high school gym. youtu.be/Yhy_4NYhsz8?...

Who’s got a favorite Naohiro Hoshikawa match?

Thank you for making the accordion cool. RIP Garth

Jun Akiyama will face NOAH rookie Daiki Odashima at Fortune Dream 10 on April 16th!

Starlyn Caba, acquired by the Marlins from the Phillies in the Jesus Luzardo deal, might be the best defensive shortstop prospect in the Minors. The MLB Pipeline scouting report: atmlb.com/3P5nzXg

Doctor, is there something I can take?

Fortune Dream 10 will take place on April 16th at Korakuen Hall.

Band’s new single is up. Especially happy with the Petty cover on the b-side. open.spotify.com/album/3s4rMZ...

2023 expanded reissue of Moondance is ridiculous. One of the best sounding records I have.

Hello, Bluesky. Just discovered that I have an excellent mono copy of Younger Than Yesterday from 1967.
