    Sweets Makabe. Love interest of all housewives. King of backroom politics

    Nah. He's the Japanese version of a bad businessman

    possible Japanese wrestlers in future

    Makabe doesn't sell because he is injured. He just refuses to sell because he is a bit of a dick. Mutoh wrestles approximately 5 matches per year and does the bare minimum.

    General Puro Discussion Thread

    Who knows? Sponsors, Yakuza money? Mama Misawa? Apparently some sources are saying that it won't be demolished until 2018 instead, which is when NOAH's lease ends. But some sources say 2017. They might have to move since real-estate/office space in Tokyo is super expensive. All Japan uprooted...

    possible Japanese wrestlers in future

    I'm going to run them through with reasons why they are unlikely. Hiroshi Tanahashi - About as unlikely as Okada. Dude does not want to leave Japan and does not want to work for WWE. The biggest name in Japanese wrestling for the past decade. Hiroyoshi Tenzan- 44 years old and approaching...

    @Roadster NOAH's traditional home, the Differ Ariake, which hosted its home arena, office and dojo. Is closing around June 2017. Mainly due to the building no longer making money, it being run down and the owners don't see a profit in renovating it. Another promotion taking a hit like this.

    Heels Have All the Titles?

    It's quite common in WWE (or western wrestling as a whole for that matter). Gallant good guy chasing the villain tends to be a better and easier story to tell.

    General Puro Discussion Thread

    TBF their new president said his first order of business was to make the company start "making money again". That's a pretty big indicator of how bad it was for them. They will need at least six months before we can see any type of change as stable. Some of those K-Dojo guys are solid as heck...

    They don't have it easy right now. They are downsizing pretty hard. They only ran 5 shows in December, and will only run 4 shows in January and just another 4 in February. So it isn't surprising that a lot of their roster is taking outside bookings now. All Japan showed that it isn't over...

    Are You A Wrestling Fan or WWE/F Fan?

    Started as a WWE fan. Quickly branched out, now I hardly watch any WWE at all. My promotion of preference is All Japan. But I watch mostly anything quite frankly.

    KAI is (finally) going freelance from Wrestle-1 at the end of the year. Good. He was shortshafted by that company for its entire run so far. I hope he heads into freelancing guns blazing

    WWE announces 2 day tournament to crown UK Champion

    If a weekly show does come out of this the talent who signed deals will probably come out of this for the better. Still not sure about WWE feeling that they need to knock up regional territories to fight off other TV wrestling ventures. That's not cool

    Wrestling Challenge 2017

    It's a variety show of a scene. There are companies for every taste. There are high level hardcore companies, comedy companies. Companies that present themselves a bit more straight forward than WWE (less wacky angles), and even companies that hold their shows at strip clubs. There's something...

    Wrestling Challenge 2017

    BTW. A suggestion. Can we please avoid posting videos directly in the thread? The thread could risk turning into lag city otherwise. If you want to link to a match you can embed the link directly into text instead.

    WWE announces 2 day tournament to crown UK Champion

    Depends on how you look at things. Do you want wrestling to be a oligopoly, where only WWE and a few select others set what you can and cannot do in wrestling, and what you can and cannot watch?
