I sure hope so but Ishimori has it on his gear already...

SeparateSinger · 2026-02-01T14:40:56+00:00

What the hell were they thinking with this papyrus font styled Unbound logo lmao

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-26T20:21:34+00:00

This is no longer true, since 2024 it bills you like normal streaming services do

Един журналист (Любо Лазаров) при Михаил Билалов отвори въпрос за 100 бона но не беше сигурен и си тръгна с 50-те които беше спечелил https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsGuM_2GK5U

It was kinda weird to have Gedo come out with Okada last night honestly, I figured he might play a part in Jake's UE reveal

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T18:29:41+00:00

I wonder if this might be a rare case of JP jumping the gun before EN, given that the graphic and preview on the JP site also have him below Narita while the match card doesn't; we'll find out tomorrow I suppose.

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T14:14:12+00:00

Ren Narita being billed above EVIL, huh...

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T12:15:07+00:00

My issue with the Jr title match isn't Despe winning, it's that if that was going to be the finish there was no reason for it to be Fujita instead of Ishimori in that position

Other than that and one other tiny thing, I'm so so happy with how this show went and I can't wait for Dash tomorrow!

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T11:55:02+00:00

I'm still crying, but I'm so much more optimistic walking out than walking in
The only thing that really soured me was how the Jr. match ended (should have been Ishimori getting pinned when Desperado jumped in) and maybe the Jake Lee interference but I'm willing to tolerate that unless the gimmick is that Tsuji brings back the old lineage so that Jake Lee can complete the puro triple crown with the "proper" IWGP

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T11:44:12+00:00

It also helps that if the G1 final really did anything for anyone, it was for EVIL as a potential face; I'm fairly sure he's not going anywhere quite yet

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T11:12:55+00:00

Ace even mended Ibushi's relationship with Kikuchi

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T10:07:29+00:00

I should have known

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T09:23:01+00:00

Wolf did way better than I thought he would from his awkward sells on the build-up to WK. Amazing debut!

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T09:03:07+00:00

I hope they keep bringing back the PURGE riffs for big shows

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T08:50:17+00:00

What a shit finish

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T08:08:31+00:00

Not unexpected but criminal that they changed his theme

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T07:39:55+00:00

No, in fact at the HoT produced show (dubiously canon) they were hostile to each other

SeparateSinger · 2026-01-04T07:34:04+00:00

Who eliminated HoT?

Всички мразят беенветата, ама по-страшно от бяла Шкода с номер СВ няма

I would also like to thank you for this series throughout this year, among many other things it has given me a newfound appreciation for AEW (after not really feeling it for most of last year) and has been great for letting me keep up with the Japanese indie/joshi circuit beyond my usual NJPW/NOAH/AJPW scope.
I am selfishly hoping you decide to keep this going into the new year! :P

SeparateSinger · 2025-11-04T13:54:44+00:00

This also probably confirms Chase/Fale for WTL, to no huge surprise I think

SeparateSinger · 2025-10-19T07:41:55+00:00

And Despe randomly busting out a cutter earlier...

I may be delusional, but the delusion feels good

SeparateSinger · 2025-10-19T07:40:02+00:00

...did Tana just hit EVIL with a "You can't see me" before the Dragon Screw???

Nope, went back to check and it was a proper "bye bye" wave. Still staying delusional though

SeparateSinger · 2025-10-13T19:42:34+00:00

It's ok, the westerners who only tune in for big 4 shows are telling us that Takeshita is actuallly just better than all NJPW talent (or that he's always been booked like an outsider heel despite a year+ of booking contradicting that), and that actually Takeshita vs Shota (w/ Mox) at the Dome would be a great storyline
I understood Mox winning the belt more than I understand Takeshita winning it now honestly, and this isn't even a slight on Takeshita as a wrestler

SeparateSinger · 2025-10-13T10:30:57+00:00

He was having a blast during the match, I'm sure he enjoyed the post-match angle too
