DIETRICH HIVE

The longevity of the Paradox lads is insane. YAMATO had (by far) the best world title run of his career in his 40s (one of the best in wrestling at the time). Susumu can still put on BITW level big tags. Doi still moves this fast & crisp in his 27TH career year. Really enjoyed the title match today.

It has to be a typo but there's something so hilariously funny that the highest rated WWE-affiliated match of all time couldn't beat Mark Davis double cheeked up on a Wednesday

Or we just push Kzy that works too

Next 6-12 months is gonna be very very interesting. Seems like the closest case since the exodus where a few of these 2020s guys are gonna have to get rocketed and they're gonna have to get rocketed quickly. The good news is that the talent is absolutely there.

Has Shun been rewatching the Tam retirement lmdaoooo

People are MISSING OUT HEAVY if they've not seen any of Flamita's DG work since coming back in 2024. An incredible wrestler barely in the prime years of his career (HE'S 31!!!) who constantly competes for the best in any given match he's in. Incredible wrestler.

WHERE WAS STUFF LIKE THIS WHEN MY BOYS HAD THE TWIN GATES?! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

“It’s difficult for the veteran group to find their place” when Utami has 1 year more experience and is 2 years younger than their top star and draw is pretty hilarious

I love MJF when he's on the ball because the details are fantastic. Wearing Surfer Sting colours, the side-headlock taking it home again, having Darby's Deathlock ropebreak - Coffin Drop spot from the title reign countered. Everything from the rivalry and more is referenced.

Real friendship has triumphed at AEW DON

Mic work is equally as important as in-ring in most cases. Great or bad/lack of comfort in delivering promos can elevate or crash a run so easily. Stat probs the most recent example. Love that woman, incredible wrestler. The difference was noticeable 1 week into having a champ good at live promos.

My gimmick of the year battle between top salesman/HR nightmare/novice rapper and apparent dance machine Jiro Shimbashi vs Andrade being a babe magnet who wins everything

Really happy for 204kg. So well deserved. Just wish these two teams had much better booking in the lead up to this. If this was a heel team on a 6 month run of dominance with another promotion's titles beating a well-booked double champ Twin team, it just looks infinitely better than it does atm.

August schedule is out, it's busy and has no tour name, PLEASE finally gimme my Rey de Parejas 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

QTP with 4 games in your backlog

I'm not super up-in-arms like some over the Triangle switch. Everyone wins the Triangle Gate. I could probably be a Triangle Gate winner if I put enough effort into it. They'll give the guy a cute match in Korakuen for his retirement road, probably back to previous champs, and it'll be hunky dory.

I’d love a rematch for the Twin at World and not just because 204kg probably got screwed out of an All-Asia run. It’s also for the fact that few companies could flex that they gave their most important tag of the year to a bunch of 2020s debuts (Kamei counts). The vet in the match is 6 years in lmao

I got no real opinion on the Mox stuff other than at best he's the 2nd best Death Rider this year cos PAC's been exceptional

We're winning King of Chop this year 😤

They should do the Darby/PAC 5 tiebreaker on one of these bad boys for ✨Shark Week✨

He discovered the Owarai Gate I'm dying

Rewatched the tag, I thought yesterday was one of Kato's career best performances. Was even pretty solid on the selling in the middle. If he can work on making that better and they do a real David vs Goliath type in a rematch, that atm is where I'd go for the World tag. It could be brilliant.

Another multiman tag you shouldn't miss. Everyone here debuted within the last 7 years and a few within the last 1-2. DG is investing in its young talent and it's a great sign for their future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg-h...

My Yoshiki Kato stocks from debut thriving

My Kazuma Kimura stocks are gonna go to the moon in a year or two. He was AWESOME with YAMATO today.

Use him to get GARGIS #SilverbackAndABloodhound #PuttingTheGBackIntoTheG1 #TheRealMainEvent

Had 204kg as potential World challengers lmao so I'm guessing they get the All-Asia back, drop it properly in AJPW, get a claim to challenge for the Twin while they're at it. I hope they get a big Twin match anyway, they've more than earned it

Done a little #experiment and WWE's rosters being cleared by most Japanese feds in a yen down economy is genuinely hilarious

April a legit incredible month for big tag wrestling. Best in a WHILE. Both KOB tags, Twin Gate defence, Sead tag, Aoki produce tag, both Bucks vs DCF tags, two big ASGQ tags, Calaveras vs Villanos. What an awesome month

Kofi Kingston is one of my favourite WWE wrestlers of all time so like? yes please lmfao

Twin Gate tag from the weekend is up on Youtube. If people missed JackyRiiita's 2025, they missed an easy TTOTY level year. This tag is right back to that quality. Well worth watching. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dere...

THE UJPW CARD IS ACTUALLY SICK LMFAO

Not one but two Kazuma Kimura main events?? 😤😤😤

King

I need the wrestling gods to protect Susumu, he's 2 and a half years away from making a 30 year career where he wrestled in every single month of it. Longer than I've been alive and he's still really really good!

Okay lowkey might have to do that mask list

I’m not like someone who bugs out about awards much anymore but it’s still wild to me this has never won Best Move

ADORED the ending to the cage match. A direct tribute from 2023. Same chair spot, same super blaster spot. The difference from both is Shun tied Mante to the floor and didn't look back at him once it was done. This time, he turned to face Homare and let him get near the top before he took his hair.

Basically short: It’s risky but risky and completely new is way better than boring. Good call.

It's a big ask of a guy 1 year in, but if they need to pivot and take a risk, you gotta go with the most popular guy who's shown enough promise that he can learn on the job. It's ballsy, but if DG gives Homare the belt and sticks the landing on doing so, it could turn around their year completely.

I don't call a ton right with big DG but if there's one thing I'm gonna hit the mark on every time it's when Shun gets into the final 2 in a cage match lmfao

I saw the gear. Gaja it is OVER for you 🫵

Curse Gaora for delayed streams so will be late on the cage match but PSYPATRA TAKE MY ENERGY ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ✨✨✨

Homare got matching zubaz hometown gear with Shun. I’m sorry Gajadokuro but #itsover for you

Uhaa Nation vs Akihiro Sahara Uhaa Nation vs Ben-K (& team) Uhaa Nation vs Kazuma Kimura Uhaa Nation vs Big Boss (he can have my knee God gave us two for a reason) Uhaa Nation vs U-T Uhaa Nation vs Big Match Jack Uhaa Nation vs Riiita Uhaa vs 204kg Uhaa vs Kzy Uhaa vs Flamita come back to us

Why're the releases being called "departures", they're not flying out of Heathrow on the 11 o'clock to bloody Malaga they got sacked 😭😭😭

Gonna lock in my OG prediction of Kato losing and Cielo doing the Dia Inferno unmasking. I think it’s time for babyface moments in the cage. Time for a nice big babyface title run again. I don’t wanna break up Psypatra so I’m rooting for a heel loss. Use the cage to cement a face turn.
