Raku's fat tits on (VOD)

Fumirin

if no live misao shenanigans no vod watch

*fumbles at the finish line*

sasuga, the 3rd world country of america cannot provide adequate streaming capabilities

why dont they have a 5G modem for backup?

It's over.

>>18238660
unironically this
>captcha: AN0NS

They actually had a guy from CyberFight out in Texas for almost a month and he visited this venue. Did they even bother to do a test stream?

(VOD) confirmed, post lesbian players

For all the money the money mark spent advertising he couldn't have given some slob $50 to do some network speed tests at the venue beforehand? KWAB

I blame Tony Khan.

I look forward to seeing the confidence inspiring games of Shino Suzuki

Forney, Texas looks like a dump

>>18238684
kwabsune's first show had a 2 or 3 hour unannounced delay (they did announce it once they were well into the delay)

I reckon 1,500

Wow. What a buzzkill.

We are live!

Akira Takahashi is the senior CyberFight guy they had on the ground in Texas for weeks, so he should be the one forced to commit seppuku

APOLOGIZE

>>18238744
no way those retards could do any better

>>18238741
Clean your monitor, ya slob.

>>18238684
They dont do that for their own shows in japan

why did you fuckers lie about attendance? 4,000 my ass

>>18238744
WE MISS YOU GOAT

>>18238767
that's why the show isn't airing live, they're trying to SUPRESS our girls but Wakana will DROPKICK this OPRESSION

we don't get to witness nambar's final show ever

>>18238767
Nobody ever said it would be 4000

>>18238767
They aren't going to acknowledge you. I already tried.

IT'S UP!!!

>>18238795
Nobody ever said it would be 4000 or 6000

Still a big crowd compared to Houston and based on what fans there are saying, the crowd is hot for the most simplest of moves. I think the Suzume match opened up btw.

Shoko feet (VOD)

>>18238794
No, they said 2400, which was also obviously not gonna be true.

>>18238817
>the crowd is hot for the most simplest of moves.
just like sukeban shows. hmmm

>>18238817
Yo, tell that bitch to your right to shave her legs.

I skipped church for this y'all I'm going to hell

>>18238701
Didn't he eventually end up having to let the Marvelous crew handle things? And then when he "ran a show" in Japan, it was basically Marvelous with Kitsune branding.

Moka match right now

>>18238744
I've seen their shows. It wouldn't have been any better.

>>18238839
Speaking of Marvelous, Koda needs to try and book a Mio vs. Uta match.

This venue looks like Ota Ward, sort of.

>>18238825
Nobody said that either. The 2400 number is around the max possible with the setup they're using

Starlink Mini costs $100 for the kit and $50 a month for 400mbps up/down

>>18238854
I would love Mio in a friendly ring, but Marvelous has thrown in with Marigold and thus they are undesirable now

>This is one of the weirder crowds I’ve ever been in bc everyone is popping for *everything*.
kek based it must the yall in aftermath. everyone is still high on hanger winning the big one.

>>18238887
yeah it sounds like they're happy to see some real wrestling after hours of horrible american garbage

>>18238887
No, it means that there are a lot of non wrestling fans in attendance. Which means they either marketed it to non fans very effectively or gave out a ton of comps like Sukeban

>>18238865
People said 1900 sold

>>18238874
Anon, that's for a single user.

>>18238909
i dont think youve ever been to a wrestling show before if you think non wrestling fans would react to everything

>>18238927
Yeah, because about that number is what the orignal setup was and they sold out all the seats originally allocated

>>18238940
You're clueless on this one. "Wrestling fans" sit on their hands until someone does enough flips to activate a THIS IS AWESOME chant.

>>18238899
Namba said they enjoyed the games. Do you not trust Namba's word?

>>18238940
Wrong. Sukeban comp most of their audience and they go ballistic for every half assed dropkick and body slam

Casual/lapsed wrestling fans-those that don't really follow a product anymore but, remember it from when they did and thought it would be cool to go to that wrestling show they saw advertised and got free tix for will pop for everything.

>>18238952
have you been to a wrestling show before? im a fellow texas resident. texas crowds are some of the best crowds though ive only been to aew shows. i cant speak for other companies. the crowd at all in was amazing so some of those fans definitely went to go see the tjpw show today.

>>18238973
You're confusing non wrestling fans with plants

>>18238989
So you've never been to an actual wrestling show.

>>18238996
You don't plant several hundred people. They give tickets out to influencers and people involved in the local fashion scene, people who've probably never seen wrestling in their life

>>18239015
the seattle crowd when i went to go see wrestledream was great too. ive seen a couple shows in japan but japanese crowds are different so no point in comparing. what about you? what shows have you seen?

>>18239050
I've been watching wrestling for more than five years so a lot more than you.

>>18239058
https://x.com/KristenAshly/status/1944463003543638308
Crowd is popping hard for Misao on the bike

>>18239058
>>18239100
gotta give the people what they want

>>18239100
based

Just came back home and was ready to chill with some TJPW...so the whole live is not happening?

>>18239116
>literal female screams
Female Icon

oil-sama has scuppered their future plans with this failure

>>18238934
the venue OBS laptop restreams to a WrestleUniverse server

at least the arena looks packed, nice

>>18239170
It's a small venue in Forney for fuck's sake. I don't expect Bucksnort, TN to have highband net nor Forney either

>>18239063
>refuses to tell me which shows you went to see live
either you havent seen any or you are scared to tell me

>standing ovation from the crowd who absolutely went nuts for this match
sasuga

>>18239277
That jew nose is cute. I want to stick my tongue her asshole

>>18238887
Why wouldn't tjpw fans pop for tjpw wrestlers doing tjpw moves? Dropkicks can be a high spot. Look at Shino, who does a shockingly good standing dropkick instead of the running one everybody else does.

She's not Okada or Orton, but it's all relative.

This crowd will likely also pop for body slams and cross bodies.

>>18239432
who won though? im assuming misao and shoko lost both of their matches going into ssp.

>>18239615
the bright pink video on the screen should give you a hint anon. and yeah misao lost too

>>18239647
Since when do they play the entrance video when the match ends?

>>18239602
There's popping and then there's losing your mind as if it's the first time you've ever seen the move done before. The crowd for the other 2 shows wasn't going crazy for everything

>>18239647
eeheeheeheehee daydream is losing at ssp confirmed

>>18239729
The position before I piston fuck Pom

Thank you for drawing the house, Maki Itoh!

>>18239729
Shortbus (2006)

>>18239028
And told to ham it up for the camera

>>18239700
Well obviously. Kyokyo only just won the belts and has barely defended them. Daydream did the video to build up the match by going to that priest. Regardless of who won in Texas, Kyokyo is likely retaining. And also didn't Miu lose in Houston to Shoko and Misao? And she took the pin and not Vert.

>>18239647
I thought Koda was not involved with the booking or is that just when the players are booked for separate shows?

>>18239770
*Oil-sama and Rawhide Kobayashi

>>18239788
rika shouldnt win any belt anyways until she fixes her attitude

>>18239791
It's a TJPW show and he's the booker, of course he booked it

say what you want about the atrocious way lauderdale promotes shows, you can at least watch them

>>18239791
there is no way koda has no say in the booking, especially a week before a big show. Can you imagine if the oil-sama guy was like "yeah, we'd like out local talent to go over yuki arai" or something

this show has yet another raku/misao match, you shouldn't even need to ask if he booked it

>>18239821
Kek I like how this meme caught on but yea idk why he books them together so much.

You guys don't even care to wait a few hours to watch the show. All you want to do is argue about who won and why.
Weird behavior, honestly.

>>18239170
They need to do show in near a top media market and fly in destination in the US to make sure the infrastructure is there so a broadcast can be done like that. But some of those cities that have smaller venues that they fit the budget and the size they need may not be in the best neighborhoods, such as the old ECW Arena. So they may want to try more of a tourist destination city like Las Vegas, Orlando, or Miami the next go round. There a lot of spaces they can use due to the amount of conventions that take place in and around those cities.

>>18238625 (OP)
Is that a statue of the DragonGate Abuse Monkey?

2000+

>>18238831
You should've gone to the vigil mass the night before so you wouldn't be in this predicament.

Did we ever find out why Maki randomly dropped a valentines-eque set in the middle of summer

Just got out.

Completely full. 2,000 easily.

Show of the year from a match quality standpoint. Better than Ittenyon. Undercard was so-so but the top three matches were all phenomenal. It will be extremely difficult for anyone to top Miu vs. Shoko. Stardom PPV level main event.

>>18239975
wtf. ill wait for the official announcement. it did look packed there but it didnt look 2k packed

>>18240024
Yes.

>>18239975
told you guys a lot of the fans came from the all in show. theres no other way they couldve pulled off 2000+ on their own. thats why the crowd was rowdy.

>Stardom PPV level main event.
oh brother

>>18240048
Meant that Shoko vs. Miu was Stardom PPV main event level.

The actual main event was way better than I expected. Lots of crowd brawling.

Misao tag match was great.

Do not skip this VOD. Crowd was hot throughout. It was a lot of AEW fans so there were a lot of "this is awesome" and "fight forever" chants.

Fucking shame they couldn't get the streaming to work. There was no cell service in the building and the wifi was shit so I'm not surprised.

>>18239975
Take that, Sukeban

>>18240092
>Meant that Shoko vs. Miu was Stardom PPV main event level.
I understand what you meant and you're a huge faggot for saying it

This show will easily blow away SSP in attendance (as is tradition, they will fail to draw under 1000 at Ota Ward).

TJPW PPV in America next!

I wonder if any of the girls were inspired by what they saw at All In and will incorporate it into their own work

I could see Wakana trying to do a Buckshot Lariat. It's simple and unnecessarily flashy, the way she likes it.

>>18240115
>they will fail to draw under 1000 at Ota Ward
so they'll do over 1000? nice

>>18240115
Their big shows always draw more than that. Even the relatively soft GP 25 had more than that

>>18240092
once again proving my point the tag match should go last being the best build match but it won't ofc

>>18240115
If they announce 2,500 I'd believe it. Every single seat they had set up was full. Can't say if it was heavily papered to fill out the top but I don't think so.

>>18240092
>Misao tag match was great.
misao and having great matches
name a more iconic duo

>>18240124
She can't even do one flip she's been practicing for 2 years, if she tried to do a buckshot she'd blow both her knees out

>>18240124
Wakana should do a Bonzai Drop on my dick.

>>18240092
>It was a lot of AEW fans so there were a lot of "this is awesome" and "fight forever" chants.
again i told you guys. aew crowds are the best and coming off of the high that was all in, they were hyped up.

>>18240092
Any "Both these guys" chants?

>>18240141
Surely the biggest star goes last

Now, eventually with all these international shows and a growing fanbase with foreign money, do we get to a point where they're booking for the foreign fans. I think it would be a mistake.

There's a reason Ishii was never HW champ

the lone aew console warrior trying to spin TJPW's success as aew's when aew can't even sell out shows is absurd

>>18240136
They did Korakuen numbers for Wrestle Princess last year.

>>18240194
No.

https://x.com/t346fire/status/1944488634889236787

crowd was packed and loud af. cheggout the clips.

>>18240180
>guy who has never seen anything but aew claims aew is the best, while talking about a tjpw crowd

it's not one or the other

>>18240201
no one is doing that but its dumb to think that the big turnout wasnt because of all in.

>>18240201
AEW at its nadir of attendance could sneeze and still accidentally outdraw 99% of tjpw shows. That's not a knock on tjpw, but it's a different product and a different thing entirely. They're not really worth comparing, even if people still are weird and want to do so.

But tens of thousands of people traveled to the area for AEW. Some spillover was going to happen. It's not a big deal. Hopefully some people walk away satisfied and looking for more TJPW.

>>18240239
It was because of TJPW

I'm driving back to the hotel so I'll be back in an hour to answer questions/reply if anyone is interested.

(Yes, I know that nobody is and you all hope I die in a crash)

>>18240245
what were the attendances for the defy/prestige collab shows?

>>18240245
It was because Oil-Sama saw a slam dunk opportunity to run shows around All In. Praise be to Oil-Sama and his love of friendly girls and business acumen.

>>18240261
IIRC they were mostly full. Building was packed, as someone who was there for all 3 shows. But Washington Hall is a much smaller building

>>18240257
no meeto?

>>18240257
that's only kamiyu seeing you spend more money at the maki merch table

>>18240240
this. its not even a console war thing. its just facts. yea there were non wrestling fans like this >>18240221 person but id say 99% of the fans were still wrestling fans. just like when i went to japan i overheard someone say it was their first time seeing tjpw but 99% of everyone there were still tjpw fans.

>>18240276
well since you didnt answer my question, the answer was 389 and 400. the houston shows did more around 500. dallas doing 2k is an anomaly because of all in. its that simple.

>>18240295
>but id say 99% of the fans were still wrestling fans
wrestling fans who've gone to plenty of wrestling shows were remarking on how unusual the crowd was. it was a lot less than 99%

>>18240180
I wonder if they will do shows during Forbidden Door and All Out weeks after how successful this week was for the company

>>18240158
Confidence inspiring games and Shino Suzuki

>>18240221
these are the "people" that need to be gatekept

>>18240092
good bait

>>18240318
probably the fans that had just gone to the houston shows. one had 415 and the other had 2k. the former is the first time theyve experienced such a big ass crowd especially for a joshi event. still, a lot of the rest came from the all in show.

>>18240318
probably the fans that had just gone to the houston shows. one had 415 and the other had 2k. the latter is the first time theyve experienced such a big ass crowd especially for a joshi event. still, a lot of the rest came from the all in show.

>>18240240
would TJPW even make money on this trip? I guess they are running 3 shows but it'd cost a lot to even get 15-20 talents out there. I'm surprised they didn't rely on more local american/fringe AEW talent.

>>18240330
forbidden door is in the uk this year but i would say its harder to do indie shows over there. they had to team up with eve last year during all in week and they only sent a few tjpw wrestlers.

>>18240400
if tokyo story are footing the bill for flights/visas/hotels/venue fees then yes

>>18240400
oil-sama will make sure them make money. Also yeah, all in was probably the main draw, but considering a lot of the people probably just knew about maki itoh and still decided to check the show

>>18240400
>I'm surprised they didn't rely on AEW talent.
that wouldve cost them more money. yuka and billie were as low as they could go.

>>18240221
That's a shill trying to connect to the zoomer crowd.

>>18240318
TJPW is incredibly easy to market to the crowd outside of Japan that likes anime and that kind of stuff. I'd argue even easier than Stardom because of the greater focus TJPW has on the girls having big and cute personalities and the more relaxed and fun atmosphere.

>>18240400
Probably. The girls most likely made a killing on merch, especially as the prices are probably jacked up compared to what they'd be in Japan.

>>18240425
not really because you are comparing cost of booking for the show vs. flying someone out. Floor tickets were ~80 usd though so they made bank on that show.

>>18240437
it's an autistic weeb tranny

THE NUMBER IS IN
>2,540人(超満員札止め)

>>18240473
>it's real
holy shit

>>18240473
thank you all in-sama for drawing the house

>>18240473
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
Thats a Tjpw record right of all time? Whats funny is that they drew more during All In week than they did during Wrestlemania week. Never thought that would happen. Remember when people doubted anyone would go to Forney?

>>18240498
The Bushiroad has become an overgrown friendly field

2,540 is fucking ridiculous kek. and zero coverage from any of the so called wrestling journalists

>>18240330
>>18240404
Not to mention last year there was overlap between All In and the Tokyo Princess Cup, hence only being able to send a few people who thusly could not enter the tournament even though they only missed one show (since I guess in kayfabe what if Mahiro made it to the finals?)

I don't think TJPW will send anybody to England for Forbidden Door during a busy summer period for them again. Last year they sent Miyu, Raku, Mahiro, and Himawari (and Aja) and this year they are all expected to be around for the TPC (except Mahiro who was already eliminated). And the EVE people haven't promoted anything of the sort.

>>18240511
>Thats a Tjpw record right of all time?
By a lot. Their previous high was this year's Ittenyon at 1483.

>>18240511
>Thats a Tjpw record right of all time?
GP 24 was 2,349 so yea

>>18240532
No? It was GP24

>>18240511
>they drew more during All In week than they did during Wrestlemania week
heres my console war comment. wwe fans are just wwe fans. aew fans are wrestling fans. that simple. shoot they popped for syuri when she came out. miyu got multiple chants in her roh match.

>>18240511
Yeah beats out their previous best of 2349

>>18240532
No it wasn't you idiot, their previous ALL TIME high was Grand Princess 2024 at Sumo Hall which was 2349. Learn to read

>>18240564
They drew more because there's way more shows at WM weekend whereas there wasn't a glut of them here. Also Oil-sama just flat out has a better understanding of how to promote things than GCW or CyberFight it seems. Seemed to know to work with local promotions, target fans who might not be into wrestling but do like anime and cute Japanese stuff and the like.

I hope oil sama gets a blowie from Maki for destroying NXT like this. He deserves it

>>18240330
This Texas run seems like it was bankrolled by an enthusiastic rich oil guy who is both Japanese and who likes wrestling. The PR guy who did the AMA said he'd like to do this once a year.

I'd think doing shows like this probably only makes sense for Mania and All In weeks, but then again the Seattle weekend seemed to do well for them. I guess they just need somebody, either Defy Wrestling or Oil-Sama or GCW, to foot the bill.

All Out in Toronto is selling really well and the city has the international flavor and traveling wrestling community that would make it work, but it's probably too late to book something for that

>>18240595
All Out is on the same day as Wrestle Princess

>>18240532
Chinny is that you? Only person I can think of who makes such weird inaccurate claims

>>18240425
I wonder if they give them a friend/family discount. Takeshita was at the Seattle shows just hanging out because it was DDT, and so his prices for meeto were DDT prices instead of "star who is actually on TV" prices. No way he'd be charging 30 bucks in any other context. It was an excuse to work with his bros and hang out with them while also helping them draw.

>>18240448
This is the same as what Sukeban is trying to do, except they want to own all the IP and force them into uncomfortable costumes and gimmicks instead of letting them showcase themselves and what they do best.

And prices are higher and the dollar is stronger. Even the Japanese uncles who were mad about the meeto rules understood that it's much more expensive here than what they pay at home.

>>18240511
Mania weekend has too many options to slice up the stragglers, All In weekend is untested with less indie shows at the same area and most promoters are conservative when it comes to risk aversion

Total attendance for the Texas tour is 3,370, which is a higher total than any month of shows they've done before. Including the Japan shows they've done the total for this month so far is 4,060

>>18240625
doxxing again gay friend?

>>18240631
takeshita has a dual contract

>>18240670
would past cyberfights not count? they were doing close to 5k on those

>>18240676
triple contract. aew, njpw, ddt. he's making bank

>>18240473
STOP THE COUNT!!!

>>18240720
I'd count that as a joint show so not really TJPW roster by itself. You'd have to split it 3 ways if you were being really generous to TJPW

>>18240720
Those were joint shows between 4 promotions, and most people were there for NOAH/DDT

>>18240729
he unironically makes very little with njpw and ddt. he will get a bigger contract once his aew deal is up also.

>>18240754
i think njpw just quietly have very big plans for him. rumors running around about him winning G1 or being in the main event of tokyo dome next year. DDT get nothing out of him at this point though

>>18240775
he only signed a year with njpw so its still little pay

>>18240281
I met everybody between the two nights in Houston. I didn't even stick around to see the chaos. They might legitimately be there until 8:00 or 9:00 pm.

Regarding crowd makeup, I'd roughly guess 85-15 wrestling fan to non-fan. Maybe 90-10. They wouldn't have drawn that crowd without AEW. Just what it is.

>>18240473
Legit.

Going to eat and then I'll share some thoughts on matches.

>mizuki and itoh constantly going viral DID draw
/tjpw/ btfo

>>18240216
More than NXTiny I'm hearing

>>18240955
it didn't though. on the ground marketing and piggybacking off of all in did

>>18240473
>Super Full House No Vacancy
What the hell, it even sold out?! People couldn't even buy tickets on the day if they wanted to. Holy crap, they should have opened up the other 2 seconds floor sections

>going viral for 3 years
Don’t draw
>oil baron advertising shows
Draw
Hmm I wonder why they drew this time must be thanks to tde_gif surely

>>18240955
afraid so. maybe if tony signed itoh he could have sold out a show too.

>>18241037
I think they didn't have time to with probably super strong tickets sales over the weekend

APOLOGIZE TO AEW AND VIRAL TWITTER POSTS RIGHT NOW!!!

>do nothing
>win

some fucker gave arai like 15 labubu

thank you ref for drawing the house

>>18241037
They can probably see if there was more demand via the ticket site. If so, they'd open up more. Most places do this. I didn't see anybody complain about not getting in.

>>18240994
https://x.com/WrestleTix/status/1944096571798192302#m
More than 3 times what NXT sold. Their max setup was 772

>>18241113
he wasnt at the dallas show. rumors swirling that he got sent to the emergency room. theres an on going investigation as to the reason for this.

Imagine the attendance once they send the real draws like Rika, Mifu & Himawari to the U.S.

>>18241142
I'm sorry you have to hear it like this, but he died. Cause of death was pepper spray poisoning.

>>18241152
Now that the tour is over and went off amazingly, I wonder if anybody who stayed behind is upset.

Imagine the melty if Kamiyu hadn't been booked last minute. My god, i wish she hadn't, for entertainment and unhinged posts alone.

From the Top of the J-POP charts to outdrawing NXT, Uehara Wakana can't be stopped!

>>18241154
pepper spray? wow. well none of our girls use such a deadly device so they are safe.

He led an amazing life

>>18241167
>kamiyu
you'd think she'd actually be doing a lot of tourist shit given her bitching over not being initially chosen. so far it seems like she only went to the ranch to film some dogs and animals shitting and then went back to her hotel room while everyone else had fun

>>18241196
He got to smell Pom and that's all anyone could ever wish for

>>18240653
Sukeban is also not a real promotion, it's basically just a weird and fetishy art project disguised as a pro wrestling promotion.

>>18240330
Nah. These shows only work when it's a huge weekend event like wrestlemania or all in. You can plan in advance and work with other promotions who also book shows. GCW is the only promotion that books around every ppv from aew or wwe.

imagine the meeto

>>18241262
Their Miami skate park event where they drew 1500 was actually 1500 but filled with comps. I know because a friend of mine literally went only because he got a free ticket. And they had no signing event and only like film poster merch for $50 to sell. Zero chance any of their shows make money

remember when miyu wrestled for conway west?

Why is/are the owner/s of Sukeban dumb?

>>18241447
You are talking about a promotion that decided that wrestling matches don't have enough soundboard wacky sound effects and will play BOING noises over the speakers when someone goes for a dive. It's a promotion meant for one person, its financier Olympia Le Tan, and nobody else. Wrestling fan or otherwise

>>18241482
Hold on they might be on to something. Imagine if we got some Hans Zimmer every time Misao went for the I AM A HERO

>>18241057
They shoot look like mail-order-brides living an existence that flip-flops from "miserable" to "oddly comfortable".

>>18241128
>cheapest ticket available is 66 buckaroos

how many bongs?

yeah, good luck being an uncle and taking a pic like this in japanese meeto and greeto

>>18241639
Listen man I got to make a heart hand shape with Miu after waiting 3000 hours in line and will carry that joy through the next week at least. Stop making me jealous and let me have something

>>18241636
show's over but because of shitty internet it's going to be (VOD) anyway

>>18241636
based on the thread. the show is already finished

>>18240908
Alright.

>Monkey v. Eats
Good opener. About what you'd expect. Kamiyu had her working boots on. Wakana looked really good too throughout the match, at least the best she's looked on this tour. Wakana tapped.

>Moka v. that chick I've never heard of
One of the most basic matches I've ever seen live. It was like something you'd see from two people who have been working in front of live crowds for a month. The black chick got the heat on Moka forever and then Moka made a comeback and pinned her.

>Shino/Misao v. Pom/Raku
Good stuff. Lots of comedy immediately. Pom brought out the gacha machine and she and Raku bought a bunch of capsules and peppered Shino with them who sold them like death. Raku got run over with the machine. Misao got her bike and did the runover spot. She also got the spray reversed into her eyes. Pom gave me a double high five. Second half of the match in the ring was really good. Raku pinned Shino.

>Arai v. Maya World
This was pretty disappointing actually. I thought this would be better than it was. Kind of a weird vibe because I think Maya is from Dallas and there was a big contingent cheering for her and booing the shit out of Arai which I think might have thrown her off a bit. Not a bad match, but nothing to really talk about. Arai won with her kick.

>>18241639
Oh god that AEW tranny was all over All In as well.

We need to gatekeep harder.

Their success this week not being domestic is double-edged in the long run. It means feds start copying with a more popular version of sukeban, and start throwing money at teej players for exclusivity, Happens every time. Nick Khan was at a Sukeban show probably for this reason. He likes to have his eyes on everything

>>18241636
31 bongs if they're releasing it to the normal VOD timeline. The venue had fuck all WiFi and nobody could even get a phone signal in there, was super far from Dallas, generally terrible choice. I can only imagine they might have approached evolution numbers if they had been closer. The fact they sold it out is an immense showing from the girls just being utterly dimes weeb magnets even if it was in the middle of fucking nowhere

>>18241663
I fucking hate this website. Sorry about the pic.

>Shoko v. Miu
Legitimate TJPW match of the year contender. I think it's probably the best singles match of the year so far. It went close to half an hour. Started out with some good mat/chain wrestling and eventually spilled to the outside with dives. It was back and forth for the last ten or so minutes and was just awesome. They countered each other's finishers and had a ton of great near falls at the end. Miu pinned Shoko. The crowd dynamic was nuts. Both got equal cheers coming out but as the match went on Shoko become the massive underdog babyface and people were absolutely booing the hell out of Miu. She cut off Shoko's comeback a couple times and the crowd was furious. The look on Miu's face was priceless. No way she's ever gotten boos like that in her career. Just awesome. Watch this match when it goes up.

>Vert/Miyu v. Yuka/Billie
Really great match. It went over 20 minutes, close to 25 I think. Very AEW/indie style so if that's your thing you'll like it. A bit of finisher spam and kick outs at the end. Some really awesome back and forth striking between Miyu and Yuka. Vert and Billie were great too. Some crazy high spots including a vertical suplex on the stage. Vert ate the pin.

>Mizuki v. Maki
Zero chance these two were going to be able to follow the previous two matches with Itoh in the ring, but she had her working boots on and it ended up being pretty good. I was surprised that the crowd seemed very split, Itoh wasn't nearly as over as she seemed to be on the Houston shows. A lot of crowd brawling early. Mizuki hit the top rope foot stomp with Maki across the second rope. Cross body to the floor. There were some good near falls at the end but Mizuki hit the bridging suplex to win. I thought for sure she was going to break out Whirling Candy but it didn't happen.

>>18241705
>It went close to half an hour.
it went 16 minutes according to the results page

>>18241639
No wonder the Arisu/Aria megafan flew all the way from Japan, she got more skinship than she would have from 10 years of JP meetos

>Maya World
https://youtu.be/R6Kkn0RuQns

You kidding, right.
Itoh can't hold the whirling candy.

>>18241705
I didn't take a ton of pics but I'll upload a few.

Also, if they do this next year you need to go. Start saving money now. If it doesn't end up happening, well at least you saved back some money. This would have been worth flying in from overseas for. Best week of my life.

Me and Miu

>>18241753
tjpwstacies look like that?

>>18241699
Hmm the venue not having wifi checks out that wrestilng events have been ran there but not streamed.

>>18241639
WOULD for both of them

>>18241663
>>Arai v. Maya World
>This was pretty disappointing actually.
sums up arai matches in a nutshell

>>18241773
maybe on planet troon

>>18241152
Mahiro would unironically probably get over pretty well since her gimmick of being a bullied loser is universally funny.

>>18240109
What's the problem with saying that the match was "Stardom level" if their matches are actually at a higher level, denying that is denying reality...

>>18241447
Well they're NYC artfag hipsters so probably.

>>18241753
>that arm hair

>>18241800
stardom is worse than tjpw

>>18241796
When she came to the UK, she started pulling on HIMAWARI's hair and they crowd started chanting YOU SICK FUCK YOU SICK FUCK. She'd probably be over in the US too yeah

>>18241736
Seriously? Felt way longer than that, goddamn.

>>18241769
that's a nigga

>>18241769
Her febbarit is Pom just like me so I think we should date

>>18241663
>>18241705
Funny that Arai and Miu had to deal with boos. Especially Miu, who is super popular stateside and is workrate-y the way US indie fans enjoy. But Shoko is undeniable. And she's small so people are going to root for her over the big pink monster.

It's funny because in Japan it'd be Miu as the junior and thus the underdog, where here it's different and bigger = power.

>>18241750
Someone is gonna find where you were sitting and post your face dox.

>>18241853
Really don't care. I'm amazed you guys weren't able to figure it out in Houston.

>>18241152
I bet Toga and Haru get culture shock with how the meeto works overseas. But also draw out the rest of the TJPW stacies in the process.

>>18241845
What's her twitter?

>>18241828
i wonder what do the players smells like?

>>18241699
>super far from Dallas
22 miles ain't the boonies.

I'll find you but not post it.

i did, i just didn't care enough to post about it

>>18240473
I'm gonna need Brandon Thurston to confirm this with a public request. We don't need another ticket controversy.

>>18240473
goddamn I love the girls

>>18241912
based, just DMd her a pic of my hog

>>18241924
Hey look, it's me.

>>18241924
eeeehhhhhh scotto-san?

nobody cares

>>18241989
Cowboy hat Misao is super over with me. Yeehaw!

>>18241989
YUCK misaofans look like that?

>>18241773
Why is it Arai's fault they keep having her going up against black chicks who can't actually work and just want to twerk or whatever?

>>18241981
its really gets to a point with the attention whoring

>>18241940
Vertvixen can stay

>>18242034
>gets to

This is apparently Peps.

>>18241705
>I thought for sure she was going to break out Whirling Candy but it didn't happen.
Would you actually trust Itoh to be able to base and spin properly for it? Mizuki was never really working with anyone these shows he'd be able to.

>>18241893
It was 45 minutes drive, without traffic, and if you could drive you had to get a cab. Parking was also awful, that venue just doesn't have enough spots for 2500 people

>>18242086
according to the voices in your head?

>>18242032
In Vegas they had Arai work with Arisu. First time, foreign land, best foot forward. Then they kept giving her these foreigners who regardless of quality is just not setting her up for success.

They didn't even do this with Wakana, whose first US opponent was Kamiyu.

>>18242086
The fuck? No it's not, he's German and broke and doesn't go to live wrestling. Last one he went to over the past 5 years was maybe all in 2 at wembley

Namba attracting her main demographic.

>>18242173
Peps certainly doesn't watch or attend tjpw shows, or else his takes would be less shit.

>>18242172
koda doesn't understand his own wrestlers

>>18242219
He just wanted to give to singles wins to Arai

Maki Itoh & Mizuki ushered in the TJPW Attitude Era with their viral social media posts.

>>18242291
then he should've booked her against pom or raku or shino instead

>>18241940
very cool shot of our tojo gals and also verto

I really hope someone signs Vert soon. She busted her ass these shows.

arai fans having another meltdown because she delivered yet again another mid performance

>>18242521
>meltdown
where?

>>18242508
Selfishly I hope not for a while because I want to keep seeing her in a promotion I actually watch instead of getting added to one of the two US toychests

>>18242552
this

>>18242364
He can book these matches on any japanese shows no point in doing them on shows where he can book gaijin jobbers

>>18242552
you keep vert but lose miyu

teej is too mainstream now. i shan't be watching any longer.

>>18242617
Deal

>>18242622
this

>>18242622
i will only watch ice ribbon and pure-j once tjpw gets mainstream

>>18242613
american fans want to see actual tjpw matches though. this tour was mostly matches you'd see on the undercard of a house show and fans loved them

>>18242622
I'm making the switch to Diana

Next >>18242734

>>18242086
yannik is a pathetically skinny and frail child that is somehow already balding despite being a literal child

>>18242508
This is prob just an ass joke but she's the champ of Dustin Rhodes' indie fed and had worked ROH a bit lately. I'm sure if she wanted to give up the shoot job she would.
