That's literally the only Tozawa pairing I'm interested in nowadays.

Uhaa should open a school of selling.

Holy smokes, man! What a stellar match it was.

I'm staying away only because I'm planning on watching the full show.


1. Daisuke Sasaki Vs Kota Umeda
2. Yasu Urano & Shunma Katsumata Vs MIKAMI & Keisuke Ishii
3. Saki Akai Vs Shoko Nakajima
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Suguru Miyatake Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
5. HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao
6. Gorgeous Matsuno, Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi, Masa Takanashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga

DDT 3/15 Gorgeous Night is shaping really well. Umeda vs. Sasaki is the one I'm probably most hyped for. Supposedly it's a charity show to celebrate the reconstruction of Fukushima.

Can't recommend this match enough. Snuck up on me ccompletely and went straight up into the top tier of my fav matches in 2015.
A ten minute wonder with a lot of mat work, like 80% of the match takes place on the mat with wrestling and submission holds.

First singles match I've seen of Hideki Suzuki, but if this is what he is capable off I'm thrilled.

 

[Bort]

7 min 17 seconds, it's my Top 5 of the year. Watched it three times already, I've been in awe for days now. Shoot style FTW.

Jimmy Kagetora & Jimmy Kanda vs. Super Shisa & Syachihoko Boy was really entertaining. Great opener.

Kai finally achieved his dream and became the Ace of Wrestle-1 last week. Good on him.

I'm kinda coming around on W-1 a bit. I like the stuff going on in the ring and their upper card talent is solid (Sanada, Soya, Kai). But it is still such a Mutoh vanity project at times.

 

[Bort]

I like KAI but I adore Hideki, I hope he wins the title and defends it against Funaki.

All Japan 2/7 has two excellent matches: Ishii/Aoki and Zeus/Go.

BiggestJapan gone from YouTube. KingsRoadJapan too. MuttonAndTheHam as well. And dozens of other great puro channels. Fucking Japs.

KingsRoad:why:

At least we still got RealHero on DM and Pro Wrestling AARK on YT.

 

[Bort]

AARK got a 6 month suspension. Again. One more strike and he's gone too. It's all channels from the same guy anyway.

I've been witnessing the great and long-running channels getting whacked for YEARS now, but this last round of slayings is just too much. We're being catapulted back to the stone age again.

 

[Roadster]

Why the fuck does Japan care? It's pirated shows that got Dragon Gate to open 2 more foreign divisions and NJPW a show on AXS.

Those cunts did it. I don't understand the mentality behind it. It's not like we're gonna spend money on Japanese satellites now. In fact, all those channels introduced puroresu to many people who became fans and spent a lot of money via merch, DVDs and digitals.

No Idea but I wonder if it's because that they think potential customers can view this content for free instead of paying for it...

Anyway, I'm sure some new channels/backups will pop up in the coming weeks.
