YoshiTatsu blog on Kitamiya joining T2KX:

>Too bad! Just like I promised, the Chairman has arrived!

>In TEAM2000X, he now stands as the second most powerful man, right after our "Godfather," Takashi Sugiura.

>That’s right—
>**"The Chairman"**
>**Masa Kitamiya!**

>As you all know, the Chairman was born as a counter to the corruption, bribery, and cozy backroom dealings of the "Den of Evil" known as NOAH and the "Fraudulent Unit" Passion RATELS.

>Securing the current *Player's Union President* is a huge gain for TEAM2000X.

>And right away, he flexed his power—
>on 7.26 in Kyoto, after being ignored by NOAH no matter how loudly we demanded it,
>he *forced* a GHC Tag Title rematch to be made official *right in the ring*!

>That’s the power of the Players’ President

>NOAH must’ve finally realized they had no choice—because if they kept stalling, who knows what we would’ve done.
>They caved and officially announced the match the night before last.

>If they had defied the Players' President’s order,
>we were fully prepared to have TEAM2000X boycott all matches

>Smart move, NOAH

>The Chairman’s already pulled off a major power play—but as many of you know,
>he’s had a past filled with pain and struggle.

>Let’s unravel how he came to join TEAM2000X, scars and all.

>Whether you believe it or not... depends on your current condition!

>Read at your own risk!

the rest is behind a paywall

Now that Nakajima has the Inoki stuff back, I hope he goes somewhere else. Him in this goofy ass All Japan would be a breath of fresh air.

Goofy WCW promotion but anything to help my boy

>At DRAGONGATE’s August 5 Korakuen Hall show, Open the Dream Gate Champion Shun Skywalker suffered a shocking referee stoppage loss in a preview match against his first challenger, Madoka Kikuta (25), ahead of their title bout on the 17th at Ota Ward Gymnasium.

>Shun won the belt on July 13, but was betrayed by Kikuta and kicked out of the heel unit Z-Brats. Burning for revenge, Shun teamed with Hokuto in the night’s main event against Kikuta and ISHIN.

>Early in the bout, Kikuta blasted Shun with a chair, leaving him laid out. Hokuto was left alone 2-on-1, but Shun recovered and retaliated with a desperation face kick and his own chair shot, swinging momentum back.

>The back-and-forth battle spiraled into chaos when Kikuta introduced a hammer. He tried to sneak attack Shun, but Shun saw it coming, disarmed him, and countered. However, a lariat from Kikuta shut him down, and after continued punishment, the referee called for the stoppage at 19:06.

>Shun, who calls himself “Heaven,” lay spread out in the ring. Kikuta spat on him: “Pathetic. Shun Skywalker, you’re just another weakling. What’s so heavenly about you? Look at you on the ground while I stand above. Now you understand what I’ve been saying. Hell is right here.”

>Regaining consciousness as spit rained down, Shun grinned wickedly. “More. I like this. I don’t know what you’re trying to do—but spitting on Heaven like that, you’ll get what’s coming to you on August 17 in Ota Ward. Better apologize to the gods while you still can.”

>The showdown looms. Who will be the one to see hell?

AJPW and DragonGate should pool their resources, build a decent streaming service with both promotions that can compete with Wrestle Universe. Get Evolution on there, a couple of the six zillion smaller joshi feds. I think they'd have something.

NXT might be the worst wrestling show of all time that isn't 2000 Nitro

I miss this belt. New one isn't as good.

I suspect with how Nakajima left AJPW that's a huge reason why he's trapped in GLEAT now

>Evolution’s Suwama (48) clashed in a singles match with a female wrestler for the first time, taking another step forward as a veteran.

>In the opening match of the August 6 Shinkiba 1st RING show, part of the “Suwama Challenge” series, Suwama faced Shizuku Yuki (38). Normally, this series sees GM Shuji Ishikawa unilaterally selecting Suwama’s opponents, but this time, it was Suwama himself who made the call. Explaining why he chose Shizuku, he said, “Even though she passed the regular participation audition in April 2024, she’s been pathetic lately and it pissed me off. I was close to thinking she should just quit, so I wanted to see for myself today.”

>The match was entirely one-sided. Suwama landed harsh soccer ball kicks and elbows, and finally locked in a powerful sleeper hold, forcing the referee to stop the match at 8 minutes 23 seconds and declaring Suwama the winner.

>Afterwards, Suwama had stern words for Shizuku, who failed to make a mark during the match: “I’m sorry, but you should go on a journey. See the world and grow as a person. Pro wrestling is ultimately about how sincerely you face it.” He announced he would not consider her for regular participation, adding, “Up until now I couldn’t bring myself to punch a woman in the face, but today I overcame that,” expressing his sense of breakthrough in slightly alarming terms.

>Suwama had said he wants to face all the women on the roster in singles matches going forward, but out of four candidates, only Chika clearly raised her hand in the survey. ChiChi bluntly responded, “Are you stupid? You were the one who said mixed matches were banned,” shutting down the idea.

Funaki has a pleasant manner of speaking.

6'2" vs 6'5"

Why is there no discussion at all in here? Are all of these promotions really that fucking dead?

>>18481266
my theory is that while it is a place for all puro, there aren't that many posters, and:
>The NOAH fans only discuss NOAH
>The AJPW fans only discuss AJPW
>The DG fans only want to discuss DG
>The GLEAT fans only discuss GLEAT
>etc.

>>18481278
i agree. i personally follow mainly DDT and sometimes i watch other promotions when I have time but now G1 i also watch NJPW
I'd feel weird to comment on NOAH or AJPW business when I don't know much and watch them time to time.
