what the fukk are you talking about? :heh: Tanahashi and Okada have been backstage before for WWE events. A lot of wrestlers get those seats when invited by WWE and they can go hangout backstage.

I'm talking about it being weird to me that top stars from NJ were just hanging out watching the show in the audience and how weird that would be the other way around you fukk :pacspit:

Daisuke Sekimoto vs Ryuichi Kawakami - Big Japan 3/31/18
Daisuke Sekimoto vs. Ryuichi Kawakami (BJW - Osaka Surprise 35)

18 minutes of two dudes doing a bunch of fighting spirit and VERY stiff strikes. At this point I'm kind of numb to these type of matches when they are this long but for some reason this one clicked for me more than others, probably because Kawakami is so good at strikes and Daisuke keeps the action flowing and doesn't let it go down.


Hideki Suzuki vs. Kazuki Hashimoto - Big Japan 4/5/18

Hideki Suzuki vs. Kazuki Hashimoto (BJW - Ikkitousen Strong Climb 2018 - Day 6)
OF COURSE Kazuki doesn't even let Suzuki come out to the ring before cheap shotting him, and OF COURSE Hideki beats the fukk out of Kazuki for such blatant disrespect :pachaha: This lasted 6 minutes and is more of an angle given the post match stuff, but the few it lasted it was dope. CAN'T WAIT for what they have in store :ohlawd:

Daichi Hashimoto vs. Yasufumi Nakanoue - Big Japan 4/5/18
Daichi Hashimoto vs. Yasufumi Nakanoue (BJW - Ikkitousen Strong Climb 2018 - Day 6)

:whoo: their February match was ok but it was highly elevated by that Korakuen MAGIC. This one is even better imo, Korakuen is not nuclear like their title match but they are very much into everything they do and they continue to be fully behind Nakanoue. Daichi does a much better job working on top than in their previous encounter and Nakanoue doesn't have to rely on selling his arm like last time so his comeback has less issues. Final couple of minutes are fukking FIRE my brehs. I mean, the only thing this match has going against it is that it's clearly edited in two or three sequences, but even though the cuts are very noticeable they don't take away anything from how good this match was. High recommendation from me, you can make the a case this was the best match of the whole tourney and that's saying something.

The Meltz:

Katsuya Kitamura, 32, the 2017 Wrestling Observer Rookie of the Year and a wrestler considered the Japanese version of Brock Lesnar, may no longer be with the company.

Kitamura has been out of action for five weeks. His last match was on 3/4 in Tsukuba, teaming with Manabu Nakanishi, losing to Tomohiro Ishii & Toru Yano. He apparently suffered a concussion in that match and hasn’t wrestled since.

There are reports that he’s out of action with a concussion and his career is over. Those within the company have said that the concussion is a cover reason and it was another as yet undisclosed reason why he is not expected back.
