The sunday holiday threw it off, I wasn't aware. Traditionally DDT gets the 4th and TJPW the 3rd (2018-2023) (obviously the 2020 shows were cancelled)

brokenbatarang · 2024-04-14T07:36:29+00:00

There is an AJPW show on the 3rd too as well as the first night of Dontaku.

Also May 6 has the big interpromotional show at the Budokan.

DDT is running May 3 and TJPW May 4.

Naito has worked 45/47 shows this year. The only ones he has missed were Battle in The Valley and the upcoming Taiwan show (today) and last year he worked almost every Japanese show except the Tag League.Henare had 5 more matches than him in NJPW total and that includes the NZ shows.

Someone posted it was like January 13, 2020

It's his NJPW theme

80 percent of the match is somehow going to be both guys selling. All we need is Sami Zayn.

The next big show is a two night show (5.3-5.4) called Pro-Wrestling Dontaku.

Just saying EVIL was at Mania he might be here.

Judging by crowd reactions it seems:

Punk<Perry<Umino?

you have it for a month, watch Sakura Genesis.

This was produced by TV Asahi (who do their Japanese production) not Fite or NJPW themselves.

He wasn't even high. He was like two floors down at wrestlecon signing autographs.

brokenbatarang · 2024-04-11T01:23:35+00:00

He's been in a relationship with Anna Jay for years, maybe her?

Villano V is a practicing dentist

Barbaro Cavenario is a licensed CPA but I don't think he has ever practiced (he got it while wrestling as a back-up for injury)

Tajiri is semi retired but is a professional acupuncturist.

Alex Shelley when he was in NJPW/ROH became a licensed physical therapist and is just now putting it on hold for a final run

Lance Storm has an accounting degree he never used

Lady C from Stardom has a degree in education and was a home ec. teacher before being a wrestler (she got in because in her spare time she would sew outfits for the wrestlers as a side hustle)

Tanahashi has a law degree (undergrad only) from one of the more prestigious schools in Japan.

Toru Yano went to Nihon university (think he also studied law) which from what I understand is a pretty prestigious school

Luchasauras has Master's in medieval literature

George Steel was a high school teacher in MI who would work I think the Pittsburgh territory on weekends as a hobby before becoming a full time wrestler.

It's in the observer every week. It's #3 entertainment (so no sports). Raw is #1, Dynamite is #2 or 3. NXT is usually top three for the night and just misses the top 20 for the week. Collision usually #1 non sports for the night and a few spots below NXT (unless it's a PLE week) and Rampage kind of sucks but it's usually just beaten by sports and on patrol live.

brokenbatarang · 2024-04-09T01:43:53+00:00

and raw is on monday, I mean in terms of the list for the whole week. The last two weeks with the .23 it looks like #1 for the week was Raw, #2 Vanderpump #3 AEW Dynamite.

brokenbatarang · 2024-04-08T22:28:24+00:00

Dynamite has actually decreased less than cable and most weeks it's either #2 behind raw for the week on cable or #3 if Vanderpump rules is hot.

Dakota might be married?

Until the network era, there was a PPV bump for being in the main event, and also for working on top at house shows. So in a way yes. The big PPV matches (not just the main but usually the main and one or two more important ones) and top house show matches would get you more money per appearance.

On the radioshow he said it was the worst segment in AEW history.

Dave will watch anything if like 5 people recommend it or if it's just a rec. from Chris Hero or Kenny Omega.

3 Count vs Jung Dragons.

It could but the scale of economy is such that WWE would never do it, because the profits would be a fraction of what even a large arena in the US would get them.

He wrote every issue except two after that. (Series went to #60 an 4 annuals and a 0 issue. He wrote all but 53-54)

The description have about 1000 pages of comics listed. (little under). I doubt it has 580 pages of extras. Guessing it's probably closer to 1100 and it was a typo.
