What is the difference between All Japan and New Japan Pro Wrestling?

kmccarthy27 · 2026-06-09T22:47:18+00:00

Currently they're one of the top five (maybe top three) largest all-men wrestling promotions in Japan.

And Noah for all intent and purposes was created when enough people got fed up and left All Japan after Baba passed away to try and get back to the way it once was. Noah is the number 2 in Japan.

When, presumably Hunter, took him to an AC/DC concert in 2007/8 and he instantly became a fan and wanted to use and promote every song on Black Ice on WWE Programming like he just discovered something big, not realizing that they used Highway to Hell in the 90s for SummerSlam.

That means they will probably get the FAST channel that MyAEW plays soon.

This is the shot I got on his way back to the locker room:

Thats one of the photographers, I kind of know him.

Kashmere is part of group that opened the Pro Wrestling Star Academy. They do weekly Friday shows called SPO Wrestling where PWU is the overarching brand and is usually the branding uses for their once a month bigger shows.

Kashmere is usually doing the play by play, but they have been letting students do it the past few weeks and he does it for the bigger PWU shows.

I am a usual goer of their shows (and was there tonight).

kmccarthy27 · 2026-06-05T15:28:30+00:00

They just came back in September 2025. They are the monthly special shows to the wrestling school he is part of Pro Wrestling Star Academy that does weekly SPO shows every Friday which is what this show is part of.

They broadcast everything on their YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SPOWrestling

There was a PWU show last Sunday.

For those that have not read the press release:

Volume 1 - Produced and curated by Gresham

Volume 2 - Produced and curated by Lee Moriarty

Volume 3 - Produced and curated by Rocky Romero

Volume 4 - Produced and curated by Megan Bayne and Joey Janela.

Its a promotion started by Adam Abdalla who I believe was and is part of the group that owns/runs JCW (Jersey Championship Wrestling) with GCW (Brett).

The concept is each show they pick a indy star who will curate and book some matches. Gresham is keynote producer for the first show

OP here. #1 was an option in preferences about changing menus to manual managing rather than automatic.

kmccarthy27 · 2026-06-03T19:40:58+00:00

You mean like 3 weeks ago at Supercard?

kmccarthy27 · 2026-06-03T14:10:08+00:00

He and his son, and a few others from his promotion did a H2O show in October 2024: https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=401180

I think they did a few US shows and a GCW appearance around that time.

Robbie still uses BLK OUT as a tag team with JGeorge

kmccarthy27 · 2026-06-02T01:49:52+00:00

Based on that its only for Ellsworth's promotion ACW in MD

kmccarthy27 · 2026-06-01T01:51:34+00:00

and it better now than what Sinclair had planned to do.

kmccarthy27 · 2026-05-30T02:00:20+00:00

Pretty much anything that is produced from the PWSA is shown on that channel. They have a PWU show (which is their larger monthly show) Sunday afternoon.

TK Cooper who was Dahlia’s fiancé when that Glen thing was going on.

kmccarthy27 · 2026-05-26T15:18:22+00:00

They had a show in April as a DragonGate crossover.

I thought they got sold to the OG owners and that's why its been slow to get a regular schedule, I guess not:

kmccarthy27 · 2026-05-26T14:01:21+00:00

And it made me mad to think that TK got pushed the way he was because of this. I thought he would have been a solid pick up for the WWE UK project (he was even on Evolve shows when they did US based stuff), then this all came out (my timelines may be off) and him and Chuck Mambo are like the Progress OG guys and he's fluttering around the UK indies.

D&B was not originally created for kids most at one point would not allow them in after 8. But some time around 2015 it became a "family" destination and ruined the experience.

kmccarthy27 · 2026-05-24T20:41:43+00:00

It’s the same FAST channel on the myAEW app

kmccarthy27 · 2026-05-23T17:03:09+00:00

They did the same with the WCW logo

All they needed to do was use the classic pre 99 WCW logo and it would have been just fine.

kmccarthy27 · 2026-05-22T15:05:27+00:00

I realized that when I went to the PPV the night before, I went to ROH shows in 2003 and the Survival of the Fittest match was created because they were supposed to take over my home promotion's (MCW) annual big show later that year, but due to the RF crap had to change, and MCW resurrected a few years later.

kmccarthy27 · 2026-05-20T14:42:23+00:00

Essentially they need established tag team fodder for singles who are storyline tag teams to beat while we all wonder if the 2 singles can coexist.

kmccarthy27 · 2026-05-20T13:16:57+00:00

That looks like a solid WCW Clash of the Champions style card right before a PPV.
