>Can DOOM conquer the cursed summer?
>All Japan Pro Wrestling’s Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion Saito Jun (38) is fired up to overcome his seasonal struggle.
>Jun is staring down a brutal “midsummer tour.”
>First up is his V6 defense against Honda Ryuki at the July 21 show in Edion Arena Osaka's second stadium.
>If he wins, he’ll go on to face the winner of the same show’s number one contender match—Aoyagi Yuma vs Davey Boy Smith Jr.—in a V7 defense in early August.
>Jun is determined to win both matches:
>“First, I’m gonna crush Honda Ryuki. I’ve had it with him stealing my sweets all the time—it’s infuriating.
>And I’m winning again next, no matter who shows up.”
>But one concern remains: his aversion to summer.
>It’s said he doesn’t handle heat well, and this year’s sweltering weather has already cost him 5 kg.
>“How do you know my weight?” Jun laughed, then admitted:
>“Well, no point hiding it—I’m not good with summer.
>My brother’s the same. Back in our sumo days, Rei and I would just wilt together in the July Nagoya tournament…”
>Indeed, he struggled in that event, recording three straight losing records from 2013.
>Perhaps it’s the downside of carrying such an enormous frame.
>And this year, the stress is even worse thanks to Honda’s repeated “snack theft.”
>“Even when I’m trying to sneak in a treat during mountain training, I catch myself looking over my shoulder—like Honda might be there,” Jun said.
>“And then I dreamed he stole my manju. Unforgivable.” He was shaking with rage.
>Still, he’s fighting back:
>reportedly eating around 10 umeboshi a day—local specialties from his hometown of Kakuda—for nourishment and to spark his appetite.
>At the July 17 Korakuen show, Jun clashed fiercely with Honda in an 8-man tag.
>Will the power of plums help him finally overcome summer?

Why the fucking shit did they take the title off the based nigga?
Worth watching Noah main event or nah?
Kenoh has always been a transitional champion. This is probably just to quickly get the belt on Go and save the OZAWA match.
Ozawa is getting kicked out of his stable, turning face, then reclaiming the belt.

it really is too bad KENTA is so cooked

Yes it's always existed, but now it's even infecting the top card stuff. Usually in places like All Japan you'd just see it in the old man tag matches. Now they're just DDT lite.

There's never even been a reign where someone won and vacated it in less than a day like other titles. Kenoh will be the shortest reigning champion for the foreseeable future.

>【AJPW】Jun Saito achieves V6 with DOOM against Ryuki Honda—Next up is Yuma Aoyagi in Matsumoto: "It’s like I wandered into a world of cheese!"
>At AJPW’s Osaka show on the 21st, Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion Jun Saito (38) successfully defended his title for the sixth time, defeating Ryuki Honda (25).
>The match kicked off with intense action. Honda, who had repeatedly "stolen sweets" leading up to the match, had Saito fuming from the start. As soon as the bell rang, Saito charged and smashed Honda into the barricades outside the ring multiple times. But Honda, aiming for his first title, fought back with fierce lariats and a release German suplex on the apron.
>Neither man gave an inch as the match progressed, but in the closing stretch, Saito stopped Honda’s momentum with a slap and a lariat. He then hurled him with a Jackhammer, followed by a Dying Light kick to the face. Honda kicked out at two, but Saito finished it with the Days Gone—lifting Honda in a brainbuster position before slamming him down with a chokebomb.
>After the match, Saito took the mic and said to Honda, “Today’s match was incredibly intense. I was so blinded by rage after you stole my sweets, but that all blew away in today’s fiery match. You’re loud and full of energy, but you’re a straightforward wrestler who gives everything he's got. I’m glad we had this match. Let’s do it again sometime.”
>>18318910>Then came the customary sweet treat segment. Saito picked up a cheesecake, took a bite, and exclaimed, “Delicious. The richness of the cheese and the sweetness just soak into my body. It’s like I wandered into a world of cheese!” The crowd in Osaka roared with laughter. When Honda, looking frustrated, approached, Saito teasingly said, “I’m not giving you any!”>But then chants of “Give him some!” erupted from the audience. Saito relented, saying, “Sweets taste better when shared,” and handed Honda a piece of cheesecake. Honda smiled and exited the ring. Saito called out after him, “Don’t go stealing sweets anymore!”>That’s when Yuma Aoyagi appeared. Earlier that day, Aoyagi had defeated Davey Boy Smith Jr. in a number one contender’s match. He addressed Saito: “I know I’m just the challenger, but I have one request. Could I have my title shot in my hometown?”>Saito replied, “I’m really glad you came out here. But are you sure? If you lose to me in Matsumoto, you’re going to be humiliated in front of your hometown. Still, if you're okay with that, I’ll accept. Yuma Aoyagi—DOOM.”https://x.com/tospo_battle/status/1947276517928497512
>>18314638Should have just strapped Kojima up here desu. Doubt it would have changed much but they definitely waited too long. Could have lost it to Kawada and won it back to get his official coronation in 05.
>>18286507I don't get Naito's master plan here. Why RevPro of all places as his first post-NJPW appearance? Surely AEW or CMLL would let him appear.
>>18320612He wants to wrestle the most phoned in match of all time. Can't do that in the other two, especially AEW as he stank up the joint last time.

>>18324038>We would like to provide an update on the condition of Taishin Nagao, who is currently sidelined due to a traffic accident.>On May 31, Taishin Nagao sustained abdominal trauma in an accident involving the touring bus, resulting in traumatic shock. He remains in critical condition and is undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit.>Since mid-June, with permission from both the hospital and his parents, several roster members and staff have been able to visit Nagao. Additionally, the heartfelt messages and well wishes sent by fans have been delivered to his parents.>We are deeply grateful for the kindness shown by everyone, and we sincerely apologize for the concern caused to fans, colleagues, and his loved ones.>We will continue to provide updates regarding Nagao’s condition.
>>18324246Jesus. He's still in critical condition after all these months? The accident must have been horrific. Hoping he makes a full recovery.

>>18324500I mean, it was a bus. I think he's lucky that is still alive even if he's in critical conditions.
>>18325356Dude, it's written up there
>>18325624yeah i meant how did he get hit
>>18325718AJPW haven't released any details. The way they talk about the injuries being mostly in the abdomen though makes me wonder if he wasn't the one driving and it was caused by the steering wheel.
>>18325760or the bus crushed him in between another car?
The bus went into business for itself
Sanada to All Japan or the Ark please
>>18326968NOAH loves guys that can't go as well as they used to, so Sanada is a great fit
another title shot for Inamura tonight, a triple threat with Briggs
tomorrow's show from Shinkiba is free on AJPWtv

The state of NuJamal getting poached and carnied by Noah
>>18330616I like the new GHC but it looks weirdly flat here. Replica belt like.
>>18335647Arkbros......are we actually back?
NOAH's booking is too bad so it'll never happen.
But if anyone was going to try and topple New Japan, it's now. If they got their shit together this is the moment to do it. They won't, but still.
A babyface Ozawa, semi regular Naito, Go's return and big KENTA defenses? They have good stuff in the pipeline. Plus they have the production and money to look on par with New Japan.
A big problem though is Kaito has been irreversibly damaged over the years. I don't know what's going on with Yuma Anzai, but him jumping could be another bit of gas.
>>18339427Kaito has bounced back
>>18339427they could do everything right and still couldn't "topple" njpw. the gap in popularity is just too large and they're too firmly entrenched as "the" wrestling promotion
When are they announcing the We Dont Use That Word Here-1 lineup?
>>18339427The best NOAH can ever do is get ahead of Stardom.
>>18339444Trips of truth
New Japan is like WWE over there - no other promotion will ever defeat them in the eyes of the public
>>18339572The horny old men demographic is nigh impossible to beat.
>>18339427they should stop working with NJPW first
why does AJPW have heat with the other feds
>>18340287They do? Tell me more please.
>>18340287I don't think it's heat, they just wanna keep their distance and do their own thing
>>18342359Inoki's death hit me really hard. Getting old is hard enough but people dying you'd think would be around forever just feels weird.
>>18340287be more specific but the 31th aoyagi's lil' bro is listed as main event for Shunjuku Face 20th anniversary show alongside with DDT and NJPW guys
>>18339427One rough patch isn't enough to kill NJPW. Plus in Japan usually you're loyal to whatever promotion you like and watch it no matter how good or bad it is. Often times NJPW fans aren't watching NOAH and NOAH fans aren't watching NJPW.
>>18345449>here's how GLEAT can still win
>>18344593While that's true, I'm still surprised nobody's at least trying with how vulnerable NJPW is right now. And there's no light at the end of the tunnel for them either. They've just been kicking the can down the road.
Like NOAH will never be #1 but this is about as much of an opportunity as they'll ever get to really recover.
I guess the language barrier is a problem too. Is anyone capable of even bringing in new fans at all in Japan?
thoughts on the kennohroonie
>>18345449is he taking up the mantle of Inoki AND the Hulkster?
>"Ichiban!"—that shout still echoes in my ears…
>I pray for the peace of Hulk Hogan, who has ascended to heaven.

>Hulk Hogan has passed away.
>The memories of fighting you in a singles match, battling together as tag team partners, and teaming up in the NWO are still vivid in my mind!
>I sincerely pray for your soul to rest in peace.
>>18346428>Is anyone capable of even bringing in new fans at all in Japan?non-wrestling celebrities, which is why njpw are hyping up aaron wolf so much. kaisei takechi brought a lot of new fans to ddt, but the problem there is most of them only show up when he does, which right now is only a few times per year
>>18349187>I can't believe it.>I'm speechless. Hulk Hogan, a great wrestler and the greatest contributor in pro wrestling history.>My heartfelt condolences.>Hulk Hogan is forever my hero.
