Trying to book my way to that U-T vs Riiita final of my dreams

Daiki really said "what if Destino but legs"

What is with all the NOAH jrs apparently sniffing each other? Miya-chan acting all grown up when you're the 28 year old sunshine kid is such a choice.

Galeno is such a sweet boy. Sweet boy who can break things. Is that the All Rebellion vibe?

Galeno is heavier and taller than Morishima and heavier than Takayama but 2 inches shorter. Just for reference.

I feel like Kotoge headbutting Sugiura is his way of saying things will be okay.

Sullen and singular in the celebration of self. Daisuke Sasaki enters the ring in celebration of 20 years a wrestler at his quite perfect, Charismania X Mania X Mania show, yesterday in the Korakuen Hall. Based on an exceptional photo by @/(twitter)bushiron_24 #ddtpro #wrestlesky

AMAKUSA please just fight Daisuke Sasaki one more time. Explain nothing. Tell him you're here to save his eternal soul or something I don't care. He said one almost nice thing and now I need you to wrestle again. Extra points if you hide glitter powder in your robes.

It's Here! I wrote a career retrospective on Nanae Takahashi who retired back in May this year. A deep dive into the 28 years of her career that's filled with great matches and a sprinkle of controversy. Inject yourself with some PASSION: essenceofpuro.substack.com/p/inject-som...

Matsufusa won the biggest Osaka tournament, finally beating the guy he debuted against 5 years ago. That's my idiot dragon boy and I'm so happy.

Okay Fuda. You are so ready for this.

Yoshiki Kato costume facts: his whistle is the one he used as a cop. He likes Taro Okamoto and his tights are inspired by his designs. He thinks long boots are coolest and prefers his on the calf.

Kasai Jun and Ito Ryuji won the 2009 Tokyo Sports Match of the Year Award for their "Razor cross board + α deathmatch" in Korakuen Hall - a remarkable feat for a smaller promotion and for a deathmatch. BJW just put the match up for free on their youtube channel!

Ngl the comparisons between wandering around Matsumoto this time last year and struggling to walk the 30 minutes to my doctor's this year are messing with me. I'll get back to Japan somehow but the struggling is feeling a bit endless this morning.

Uptown and Hokuto-gun partnership will end with a fight over Kuma. Mark my words.

Jiro doth protest too much

Watched Matsufusa v Aran and yeah my boy is back

Tigers Mask recently spent a day as a police chief and had to restore order by drop kicking Black Buffalo whilst wearing full police chief uniform. He did it beautifully obviously.

The card is almost complete. Six days until Resurgence Day.

I've also realised he finally has a finisher that doesn't destroy his knees. My boy is growing up.

Endo I am crying. That was beautiful. KENTA resorting to having to slap Endo down and that being the thing that Endo had to overcome to beat the top guy of this company. 😭

Lmao of course the man who no sold chugging alcohol gel doesn't tap

Ahem. Masa.

Oh that was a perfect bit of storytelling. Getting right to the desperation phase with them matching each other but Kaito having the edge, and then disrupting because you should never forget that Daga is a heel. Beautiful.

I'm unreasonably annoyed about that match. I wasn't expecting that Marufuji would (or should) win, and I wanted the tiebreaker, but it just felt so much to me like Ricky had only done the tournament so he could get the Marufuji match. There was effort and respect there I didn't see elsewhere.

Ryuya is using flower symbolism and naming his new moves after things related to dragons. We back.

Sharon does an amazing job of writing about Ryoya's growth and D'Courage's bonds. Definitely give it a read!

That feeling when you watch a wrestler and just think 'yep, that's my idiot'

*New article* At Kobe World 2025 a new Brave Gate champion was crowned. For Ryoya Tanaka, the journey to find his courage was a career-long story. @orchidbabydoll.bsky.social tells the story of finding self-worth that led to that day. www.sixtyminutedraw.com/courage #田中良弥 #dragongate #wrestlesky

Watching 4 minutes of Matsufusa v Tigers Mask has cured the pain from my dental work and left me too excited to sleep. I regret nothing.

You can start watching the first round now! Personally love every minute of Tigers Mask and Matsufusa's preview, but I would. 😁 youtu.be/4czJD0B_CZ8?...

The Flu Game(s) I reviewed N-1 Victory Days 3, 4, and 5. While battling illness. So check it out! bigjuicecontentarchives.substack.com/p/global-hon...

It occurs to me (and I'm doing this to deal with fear) that Kenoh beating Fujita in the N1 Final would be some good long-term payback. And Kenoh beating KENTA for the belt would double down on that.

Daiki just throwing people at Sahara is the kind of wrestling I could watch all day

Endo did a variation of the shooting star press today. Seeing as how his SSP was called the Burning Star Press for a while, I will be calling this one the Damning Star Press.

Big news for the 4-5 people who still care! My pro wrestling newsletter is back! I've moved it over to my fledgling Patreon. It was the power of Hirata's win that made me write again:

i've never seen anyone attempt a LuBubu (Lu Bu x Labubu), so i took the dark deed upon myself

Sho Mizuno in Osaka Pro!

ISHIN seemingly casually dropped that he's known Kato for a decade and, to my knowledge, did not follow this up with actual information. So now I'm stewing in whether this was actually a reveal or some other thing where I don't have actual or language-specific context. Fun.

J, we will fall out
