    Meating a Cheetah

    I thought this was about the dumb Dutch family who left their car inside a safari park and ended up chased by Cheetahs. Can one be both pleasently and negatively surprised in the same thread? :idk:

    New Impact Championship Belts

    They look like they were made by the same company that made the old ROH belt. Quality work all in all. It is hard to make a belt that stands out without being tacky these days seemingly but these guys pulled it off

    NHL fans?

    I'm very much a filthy casual when it comes to hockey. But I'll try to keep up with the NHL next year if/when Elias Pettersson moves over to Vancouver full time. Kid is an absolute stud. Won the pre-play offs scoring and point league in the SHL as a 19 year old and set the new rookie scoring...

    What Brock makes per match....

    Works limited dates per year. Makes the rest of the roster looks like geeks on the regular. Not that big a mover and shaker for ratings and such. GOTTA RE-SIGN WITH A NEW DEAL! :psycho: Top tier worker that Brock

    Motoko Baba, who helped found the company alongside her late husband Shohei "Giant" Baba and who ran the company as president after her husbands passing until the sale to Muto in 2002 has passed away.

    All Japan - The House Baba built

    The Champion Carnival kicked off yesterday at the Sendai Sun Plaza hall in front of 1290 fans. A much better venue than the Saitama one and the crowd came over much stronger on the mics so it is good to see AJPW learned from the Saitama show. I would not say no to more major shows in Sendai...

    All Japan - The House Baba built

    AJPW just wrapped up their show in the Saitama Super Arena Community hall an hour ago, drawing 2257 fans. Two belts changed hands, with Dylan James and Ryoji Sai beating the Big Guns to win the world tag belts. Cutting the BG's reign off at the first hurdle (continuing the trend of world tag...

    AJPW TV is now up and running. You can find it at www.ajpw.tv It has a English translation of the site built in (basically built in google translate similar to njpw world) so even if translations are not perfect it is understandable. The site is simple to navigate as well. Content wise it...

    The drive is dead/dying. They got hit with a series of copyright strikes because people kept tagging their gifs and such or even @ing the companies. The project lives on now as PuroresuDream

    All Japan - The House Baba built

    AJPW TV, All Japan's new streaming service launches on March 19 (this upcoming Monday) and the focus will be on the current day product (no news on classical content, which is logical since it is locked up in ownership red tape). The big Saitama show on 3/25 is confirmed to stream live on AJPW...

    All Japan - The House Baba built

    They are certainly trying out running more shows in 2-5 thousand seater stadiums this year. Some shows will pay off real well and some will do just around 1500 most likely. But this is the year to experiment since there won't be a sumo hall show this year due to the building being closed for...

    Tana vs Taichi stinks of upset to me. It would also play into Tanahashi's ongoing feud with Suzuki-Gun

    AJP ran their final show of the 2018 Junior Battle of Glory today in Osaka, packing out the smaller Edion Arena (Edion Arena 2) with 845 fans in attendance. Some highlights and newsbits: Shuji Kondo won the tournament. The Wrestle-1 representative beat last year's winner Koji Iwamoto to seal...

    Could Kazuchika Okada as the longest reigning champ be bad for business?

    Toa Henare is from New Zealand and recently graduated. But he doesn't have a rugby background that I can see. Then there is the third son of Haku/Meng as well but he is obviously Tongan American

    Could Kazuchika Okada as the longest reigning champ be bad for business?

    Kitamura comes from a amateur wrestling and body building background (was banned from amateur wrestling because of taking steroids). Bad Luck Fale however comes from New Zealand and has a background in rugby (got into university in Japan on a rugby scholarship and then went pro in the Japanese...
