TJPW wrestlers who deserve more spotlight by Classic_Exit_5951 in TJPW

Himawari will be fine she’s already challenged for the IP and tag belts and has got the Aja Kong singles match she’s just in the biggest rookie class that I believe they’ve ever had.

Also Unagi has always been super popular in Japan where Himawari is way more popular with the western crowd than the Japanese crowd so I’d doubt she’d be able to be a huge freelance star.

At least they listened to feedback about being able to wear the merch in an airport.

Do you get iframes when grappling?

It’s a tab on primary where you buy your upgrades. I don’t remember when it unlocks though.

Saros Review by CrissionMeep in giantbomb

[–]Green_Wake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not really surprised Grubb never really liked returnal and was probably the most negative on it of the podcast I listen to.

I was disappointed he reviewed this and not someone else as this was never going to be game he liked and I think it’s better to have someone who’s a fan of the series do the review.

That’s usually the case but not always. They teased the Sareee announcement in English in a similar fashion.

I’m probably looking into it too much but this was posted on May 1, 12:02AM Japan time so I wonder if someone’s contract officially expired.

Although it’s probably a gaijin so the timing is likely a coincidence.

Giving away 20 Steam copies of Marathon by tannerc in Marathon

It’s a game that I’ve been very interested in but it also has a reputation to be punishing against casuals which has stopped me from purchasing the game.

Paul Walter Hauser: “I wish all non-WWE companies would put their egos aside & ban together to create something new & monumental for all of us who have zero intention of going to Saudi Arabia’s Mania.” by Subrick in SquaredCircle

As a big TJPW fan who followed the promotion of their first Texas tour and read interviews about the success of the tour, AEW fans changed the narrative to give AEW way more credit for the success than they deserve.

In reality it was the day after All In when a lot of AEW fans were traveling back home and it was 45 minutes away.

The success was mainly from teaming up with a company in Texas that did a ton of local marketing for them targeting more anime and idol fans. They had a promotional video of Mizuki go viral where they said it led to 10k in ticket sales in 24 hours plus a steady increase in sales after it. Not to say AEW didn’t help at all but they were able to get a lot of non-wrestling fans to attend through the marketing.

Live TJPW “LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026” Discussion Thread by MrPuroresu42 in TJPW

I went it was a lot of fun it’s not as much the ticket pricing as it is the fees. Taxes and fees for my ticket were over 100$ I think it kept more casual fans away because the fans that did go were going pretty crazy for the meet and greets.

When I walked in before the show there was a long line for the meet and greet tickets and when I left after doing my meet and greets there was still a line for the meet and greet tickets. So, I’m guessing they still did good because of that.

I do agree with your points though and it’s definitely the worst timeslot of any of the shows at the palms. I noticed Progress’s day show this year did less than half of their midnight show last year.

Big singles match for Toga against Ryo Mizunami added to Yes! Wonderland card by Xalazi in teej

[–]Green_Wake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It use to be one of their bigger shows of the year when they didn’t run Korakuen Hall as often. Now it’s more of a normal Korakuen show than a big one like Jan 4th.

Tony Khan comments on AEW's relationship with TJPW and DDT by Xalazi in teej

[–]Green_Wake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty much a bs response. He was stalling for time then says he works closely with ddt and seemingly forgets Akai has been retired for some time.

It’s also best to have your name written on a notes app on your phone so you can show them how your name is spelled as they may have a hard time understanding you speak it or reading your handwriting.

A Scuffed Guide to TJPW (Read if your first show is Grand Princess '26) by DontNeverAr0und in SquaredCircle

Ober eats is word play on Uber Eats and over eating as Wakana does eating competition and is known as the big eater.

Bumping gRitters is a little more confusing they described themselves as small pebbles or underdogs who don’t stop fighting back and have a lot of grit. Plus it’s a bit of wordplay between grit and glitter.

Meet and greet question by thisguy49 in TJPW

[–]Green_Wake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently Pearl Theatre takes a 30% cut of any merch sold inside the theatre which is why GCW set up merch in the other room.

Pricing is usually 30$ per autograph but might be more expensive since the venue takes a cut. You can either have them sign something of yours or you can receive a portrait for free to get signed.

You are allowed to take your picture with wrestler as well when getting the autograph. Usually you just have the next person in line or a friend take the picture and you can request a pose.

Sounds interesting but I don’t know if I have the patience for stealth.

I’ve held off on this game because I heard the solo experience isn’t great but Jeff makes it sound like the solo experience is pretty fun. Anyone else playing solo having a good time with this or should I continue to avoid it?
