Fuck Shun Skywalker. Man betrayed his own kind

Mike Bailey officially added

This is starting to shape up as good as the first one they did. Bailey being added makes me hope Michinoku Pro lets Hayato Fujita or NOAH lets Kenoh join because Bailey against one of them will be sweet. It will be a lot of stiff kicks, but sweet nonetheless

Jordan looks like a guy you see on a list. And you know what list.

Three way ladder match for ASJF 2023!​

Philly Cheesesteak cup?

All Star Junior Festival 2023 USA August 19 tickets
Watch live on NJPW World PPV!
The All Star Junior Festival has the second match added to its lineup, and in the true spirit of the Festival it’s a… unique one. A ladder match will determine the winner of the first ever Philly Cheesesteak Cup, with three unique teams taking to the ring.

Of the trio of teams, DOUKI and Low Rider are the only dup to have teamed up together on the Mexican indie scene. Then there’s the spectacular prospect of both Blake Christian with Master Wato, and Rocky Romero with Hiromu Takahashi, but with neither of these combinations exactly similar in terms of character, can they even work well enough together to climb the ladder to success and… sandwiches? Find out August 19!​
