Kento retained over Marufuji, Korakuen was sold out (1.6k) :ehh:



edit: more on the CIMA/OWE stuff @The Rainmaker

Big interview with the OWE Four in Weekly Pro this week.
There’s a lot to unpack in there.

They are building an arena to do the weekly shows in. Scheduled to be done in mid June. Won’t be the Shaolin Temple.

Priority is Shanghai, then Asia, but they want to accept any offers the schedule allows them to help promote the OWE name.
That includes Japan and potential appearances for DGE.

There’s some talk about the philosophical differences CIMA and Mr. Okamura had in the past. It’s mentioned that DGUSA was ended (left inactive?) because he wanted to focus and solidify business in Japan.

CIMA was named successor last year but it wasn’t announced because he still had things to accomplish as a wrestler.
Separating the companies became a topic after the first OWE show.

CIMA was going to go alone, but T & Lindaman asked if they could go. He tried to dissuade them because it’s a huge risk but in the end they decided to be crazy and go for it. Yamamura still has a ways to go, but once he is ready he will join the “band of dumbasses”

T-Hawk has no regrets towards Japan. It’s all or nothing to make this work so he has to be all in. Not that All In.
He seems excited and really motivated/stimulated.

Lindaman had his first solo plane ride on that trip to Australia last week. He’s didn’t bring a blanket and was cold. ....

CIMA apologized and really regrets the way things got announced and how he left without saying anything. With Dead or Alive, they didn’t want to make an announcement that would take attention away from the show.

He & T had to leave immediately because they had the Shaolin Temple show on 5/7. (The one that will be on Twitch this weekend). With KoG starting and needing to be the new start for DGE, the timing just didn’t work out to do a full press conference.

He gave his neck, knees, and his shoulder for DG, he’s prepared to give everything else he has for OWE.

Daisuke Sekimoto & Hideki Suzuki vs. Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura - BJW 5/13/18
https://rutube.ru/video/d9d717c9a99f145307370d9ab5ea8f60/?pl_type=user&pl_id=1067514

Really fun, short tag. Hideki worked most of it and you really come out of this wanting to see him face Abe - their mat exchanges were top notch - and Nomura in singles action, Sekimoto is mostly used as muscle and doesn't do much until the final sequence. The "hot tag" from Nomura was pretty dope, young kid was beating the shyt out of Suzuki and the crowd was really behind him. It kinda lacked a third act but the match was clearly made to set up Suzuki vs Nomura for June and not a lot more. Still, the action was really fun to watch. A typical Strong BJ "worth a watch" short match :ehh:
