>>17962059
So Owashi did not retire but he's no longer a full-time wrestler,

>>17961199
>Chris Brookes
dammit why

>>17963122
I'm neutral about him but who else you'd had put in his place tagging with Hiromu vs Ueno and Aoyagi? It's not a bad choice, him and Ueno are good and can work together with outsiders on both sides.

Jun needs to lose NOW. As an aside Nomura in All Japan is dimes.

Lots of crossover show nowadays

>[AJPW] Jun Saito Fed Up with Hideki Suzuki’s Verbal Attacks: “The Guy’s Just Too Much—That’s All I Can Say”

>All Japan Pro Wrestling’s Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion Jun Saito (38) is feeling thrown off his rhythm ahead of his fifth title defense against the “most eccentric man in the ring,” Hideki Suzuki (45), set for June 18 at Tokyo’s Korakuen Hall.

>On June 9, Jun and Suzuki appeared together at a press conference in Tokyo.
>Jun declared his determination: “I will *definitely* defend. Jun Saito never stops. Hideki Suzuki—DOOM.”
>Then, switching gears, he added, “On a personal note, today, June 9, marks exactly four years since my debut—so I’m celebrating.”
>He pulled a kusa mochi (mugwort rice cake) from his pocket and began munching away.

>Jun’s trademark “press conference snack time” has become a familiar sight.
>But Suzuki jabbed: “Four years? That’s kind of a weird milestone.”
>Jun ignored him, then pulled out a tiramisu and continued eating while the Q&A began—only for Suzuki to cut in:
>“Nope. We’re not doing Q&A until you’re done eating. Talking with your mouth full is rude. Finish your food first. If a manners coach saw this, they’d be furious.”
>And so, the entire room was made to silently watch Jun’s munch session.

https://x.com/tospo_battle/status/1932042633544917343

>>17967255
>Then Suzuki added, “I like sweets too, but I mostly stick to eclairs. If you *really* love sweets, you commit to one. Sampling a bunch? That’s cheating, if you ask me.”

>After finishing his tiramisu, Jun shot back: “Anyone who loves sweets eats *all* kinds. I mean, I love red bean paste the most.”

>Still clearly thrown off, Jun couldn’t keep the flow of the presser on his usual terms.
>“Well… it *is* Hideki Suzuki sitting next to me, so I guess this kind of thing was bound to happen.
>Honestly, the guy’s just *too much*. That’s all I can say,” he said, warily eyeing his eccentric challenger.

>As for Suzuki, he declared, “June 18 will be the day Hideki Suzuki becomes Triple Crown Champion.”
>He added, “When I challenged before as a freelancer, it was about building a track record.
>Of course that’s still important—but now that I’m part of the roster, I want to raise the quality of All Japan Pro Wrestling.
>To do that, I feel the best way is to lead from the top, and that’s why I’m taking on this challenge.”

>Can Jun handle an opponent who refuses to play by the rules?

who is the final card

>>17977528
WWE

>>17977528
Is there supposed to be a final card?

>>17977528
I expect only a few matches to be confirmed, like last year. The Monday Magic gimmick is that it's unpredictable and you don't know what matches will be featured.

I do like that the Hardcore title from years past finally fits the name though.

>>17977942
I think during the promo revealing the other cards he said so.

>>17977528
Buh buh buh based. Resubbed for Wrestle Magic season.

>>17977942

Hello Brookes. You're losing that belt soon faggo. Hopefully with a career ending neck injury.

because it's just a shinjuku face show. though it's very concerning that there is a lot of crossover shows nowadays

Do they just not have steroids in Mexico? I saw him on that Eslop show on youtube and Wagner had lost so much muscle compared to what he was looking like in Japan.

at home he probably has more limited time and equipment

Ohara is about to get his teaching license. wonder if he'll stop wrestling

Better WWE jobbers than the absolute no name faggots that were on monday magic

apparently Anzai didn't say he was taking time off but that he was going to do stuff outside of AJPW for a while, some of the comments were speculating he might be in the N1

>>18031918
>...Yuma Anzai (26) announced the disbanding of the new-generation unit “ELPIDA” and his own absence from upcoming shows.

>That day, the four members of ELPIDA—Anzai, Ryuki Honda, Ren Ayabe, and Rising HAYATO—faced the “Hokuto Army” (Hokuto Omori, Kumaarashi, Takahana-shi, and TAROS) in the third match. The bout turned into a chaotic eight-man brawl but Ayabe sealed the victory with Death Roulette on Kumaarashi.

>After the match, Ayabe took the mic and declared, “I’ve made a decision. As of today, I’m leaving ELPIDA. Right now, more than teaming with these four, I just can’t help but feel it’s more exciting to stand across from them in the ring.” He then stepped down and exited the arena. Amid the stunned crowd, Honda followed: “Fighting is more fun, huh? I’d been thinking the same thing. In that case, I’m leaving ELPIDA too.”

>Next came HAYATO, who said, “When I lost the Asia Tag the other day, I thought, ‘I’ve still got a long way to go. My future lies ahead.’ I had fun with everyone, but I’ve been relying on them too much—so from now on, I’ll go forward on my own. Thank you for everything,” and departed.

>Left alone, Anzai said, “ELPIDA started as a team to ‘change the era of AJPW’ and to ‘fire things up.’ Whether we’re side by side or standing across from each other, that mission doesn’t change. The one who’s going to fire up this promotion the most… is me, Yuma Anzai. So please, keep watching All Japan Pro Wrestling—and keep watching me. Thank you all for ELPIDA.” The crowd responded with applause.

>Backstage, Anzai formally announced, “ELPIDA is over, for now,” marking the end of the unit he founded in June of last year. He went on to say, “With today’s disbanding of ELPIDA, I’ve made one decision. To hype up myself even more, and to energize AJPW even more—I’m going to go fight ‘outside’ the ring for a while. During that time, I’ll be taking a brief hiatus.”

>What exactly is this battle “outside” the ring that Anzai refers to…?

ELPIDA was a horrible faction because you had three very low energy guys (for different reasons: Anzai plays it cool, Ayabe super awkward, Hayato tries to be soft and kind of feminine) and then Honda is just a ball of activity with no one to play off of it.

WWE is buying TNA. NOAH is next.

>>18038927
i don't think CA would give it up. it's a draw for ABEMA and WU

>>18038927
NJPW is more likely to sell out, remember the rock and cube

>>18039029
WWE is also on ABEMA, they don't and won't have to give that part up

>>18039055
He was seething about Karl Anderson talking about how wrestlers approached Rock backstage.

>>18039055
Bushiroad has really become cutthroat about their profit margins. I could absolutely see them selling out NJPW if the offer was decent. But I think overall, Bushiroad is doing pretty good because of the other slop they sell, right?

>>18039069
QRD on Karl's comments?

>>18039104
Everything looks to be trending up this year for Bushiroad. It is forecasted to be about 14% increases in revenue after they were down the last year based on how they are doing so far this year. Gross profit could be up to potentially around 18% based on how things are trending now after it was down around 9~% last year. This is mostly thanks to their TCGs doing well again. Although from what I've read it seems like wrestling is also doing better this year. (Probably because of the fact they didn't have to give out a ton of raises to Stardom girls like they did last year to prevent an exodus and Okada's contract freeing up money)

>>18039528
NJPW (& Stardom) only make up something like 15% of the total revenue and it isn't super profitable. TCG and Digital stuff make up the rest. It isn't impossible they could consider selling, but I don't really see a reason they would unless they get a really good offer. Buying companies in Japan is a difficult task unless you yourself are a Japanese company so that is an additional added barrier to entry.

The Saito reign of terror rolls on. Surely after this number at Korakuen they have squeezed the remaining juice of this run.

came across this match on my feed. some nice kicks

>>18042506
this match was nasty

look who i just met!

>Pro Wrestling Evolution’s “rampaging president” Suwama (48) has sharply criticized AJPW, where he still serves as part-time executive director.

>Having stepped down from his full-time executive role at the end of last year, Suwama now only appears in the ring on a limited basis, about once or twice a month. With the Champion Carnival running from April to May, the June 18 Korakuen Hall event marked his first match in nearly two months—and he went full rampage. In a ten-man tag match against the faction he left in March, *Baka no Jidai* (“The Age of Fools”), Suwama exploded: “Those guys are out of line! They’re ruining what All Japan Pro Wrestling is all about!” He went on, “I came back after a while and nothing’s changed—hell, it’s even worse. You might as well tear the whole thing down and start over!”

>The next day on June 19, speaking to press at Evolution’s Shinkiba event, Suwama doubled down: “Coming back after a while, it felt like the fighting style had gotten all light and poppy. I snapped. Maybe that’s what people want these days, but not me.” He pointed to *Baka no Jidai* as the cause: “Of course they’re to blame. Only one thing to do—crush ’em.”

>What really sticks in his craw, though, is Hideki Suzuki—his former World Tag Team Championship partner. “That bastard’s lost all his fangs,” Suwama scoffed. “Back when he was freelancing, he had real edge.” Suzuki had just wrestled a grueling match against Jun Saito for the Triple Crown the night before, electrifying the crowd even in defeat. But Suwama wasn’t having it: “Sure, it was a hell of a match, but that wasn’t the gloomy Hideki Suzuki I knew. On top of that, he was *popular*—you could hear fans calling out ‘Hideki~’ and all that. What the hell’s up with that?! Hideki Suzuki being popular? That’s just wrong!”

>Jealousy? Maybe—but Suwama insisted otherwise. “Hideki Suzuki *shouldn’t* be popular. Am I saying something crazy here? No. If anything’s crazy, it’s the world around me. And I’m the one who’s gotta set it straight.”

>Whatever the reason, one thing’s for sure: Suwama’s fire is real. Trouble may be brewing.

>NOOOOOOOOOOO STOP BEING POPULAR, HIDEKI-KUN

Jun vs Honda for the title 7/21 in Osaka

>After the match, while an interview was underway, I asked a question.

>Kobashi: “Do they do ‘thank you’ chants in soccer or baseball too?”
>Cameraman: “Never heard of it.” (He also checked with the other media folks around—same answer: nope.)

>If it really was the first time, then that’s an incredible milestone.
>For a crowd to chant in Japanese—especially something like “arigatou”—that’s unbelievable.

>Watching the “thank you” chant again in the post-match VTR, it still moves me.
>If his opponent hadn’t been Samoa Joe, maybe that chant never would have happened.

>Whether you’ve seen the match before or not—go watch it.

>>18046282
to a person who doesn't follow ajpw but wants to start to at some point, why are you saying that?

>>18046517
For me it's because they were doing so well after Nakajima came and went - probably the best they looked in a decade. Attendance was up because people were buying into Super Rookie Anzai becoming Triple Crown champion and seeing how the company was producing an array of talent, rather than just "give it to Miyahara" yet again. I say this as someone who thinks Kento is great, but they needed more than just him beating monsters. Then for whatever reason, the company took the belt off of Anzai too early and gave it to people like Bulldog Jr. while focusing too much on the Saito Brothers.
>tldr - they were doing well but have made weird decision after weird decision since the Fall last year

I agree with mostly everything. Although at this point i'd rather see Honda with the belt than Saito. The main thing that I have a gripe with is how comedy filled the undercard has become. Honda is decent worker even if he has a WOAT look and is goofy.

>>18048015
Also regarding recent booking everything has kinda been a failure.
>Yuma Aoyagi, Jun Saito, and Davey Boy's runs have all sucked back to back.
>Ayabe is a failure

I think the bloom is off the Saitos at this point and they don't really have many more stories to tell unless you want the fat one to win the world title belt.

>[Weekly Pro Wrestling mobile] Big Japan announces that Daisuke Sekimoto will leave the company at the end of June and become a freelancer.

>>18061969
doesn't Sekimoto have a broken freakin neck right now

>>18062302
>Daisuke Sekimoto was diagnosed with a traumatic cervical spine injury, but without paralysis or muscle weakness. The grade of the cervical spine injury is considered low and is similar to a concussion
>After discussion between the doctor, Sekimoto himself and BJW president Eiji Tosaka, it has been decided that an additional examination will be conducted in two weeks to check the degree of the recovery of the cervical spine and a decision will be made at that time.

I guess he left to become freelancer because he can manage his schedule and wrestler whenever he can (and wants).

>>18061969
BJW dying before Ice Ribbon is a bit wild

>>18061969
Apparently he'll still wrestle shows for BJW but as an independent

>>18062753
Calling Ice Ribbon alive is bold. They just drew UNDER 300 people to a korakuen show. They lost tons of regulars recently and seem to rely super heavily on free lancers. Surely they are done soon.

>>18062753
uncle spending power is greater than auntie/faggot spending power, letting joshi feds make more than puro feds on chekis and stuff like that. That's my guess.

June 23, 1988
The day when a wrestler named Suzuki Minoru was born into the Japanese professional wrestling world.
Later he became Minoru Suzuki.
It's been 37 years since then.
I wonder if I've become a little stronger.
I want to become stronger...I live my life thinking about that every single day.
My other birthday.

I'm going to make a calendar for July but won't have it ready until late tonight so I'll put a new thread up with it in the morning. If anybody wants to make new before that, go for it I'll just put calendar in the replies.

So long as I'm mentioning it: if anybody has anything to add lmk. Particularly if you know where Gleat lists what they'll stream on YouTube or if Samurai has a schedule of what they'll show live.
