Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

[Jmare007]

Zeus first defense will be on 8/26 against...Shuji Ishikawa that same show will have Nomura & Aoyagi defending against Omori & Kodaka.

The Korakuen show on 8/18 will be headlined by Kento & Yoshytatsu challenging Suwama & Shuji. That show will also have Nomura challenging The Bodyguard for his All Asia belt, young bull going for the All Asia domination

-----------------------------

Big Japan's Tag League will have 4 Korakuen shows, including the Finals. Opening day will be at that magical place and we are gonna get Hideki Suzuki & Daisuke Sekimoto vs. Takuya Nomura & Fuminori Abe Kazuki Hashimoto will most likely win the Jr. belt at that show too, facing Shinobu once again.

Korakuen will also have Hideki & Daisuke vs Kazuki and Aoki the disrespect from that match and the grumpiness will be off the motherfukking charts.

The tourney will be very spread out and run through different tours (it's gonna last more than 2 months). They also switched things up for the semis, as the Death and Strong blocks will be paired against each other to decided the finalists. The winners get the tag titles.

Also, Death Vegas will be held earlier than usual, as the Sumo Hall show will take place in November.

Can't fukking wait brehs

 

[Jmare007]

Sami Callihan won the KO-D title


So long DDT, I'll go back when you book interesting shyt again.

 

[stro]

I'm genuinely baffled at how Sami Callihan has become such a hot commodity. He fukking sucks.

This shyt happened at a US indy show. How DDT cosign this?

Edit: Irie is touring with them til the 9th. Hopefully, we get the belt back.

DDT has fallen off since last year. But this shyt right here is terrible.

Callihan got the belt, Takeshyta is injured, and my dawg Endo is stuck in mid-card jail.

Breh still got three years left

About BJW Tag League.

I watch Hideki/Sekimoto vs Takuya/Abe May matchup this morning.

Abe is such as punk. Hideki decides to be a dikk and teach that c*nt a lesson.

Takuya is a great babyface, too and Sekimoto is Sekimoto.

Hope we keep that same energy in the league.

Takuya is a great babyface, too.

Breh, Abe/Nomura vs Kazuki/Aoki is gonna be a c*nt off for the ages might be the only match that dead Yokohama crowd reacts to.

 

[Jmare007]

Stay down

Match was fun, but it was clipped to shyt (only 7 of 12 minutes shown)

Hideki's defense against Uto was decent too.

Sekimoto/Fujita vs Okami 7/21/08 is worth a watch though
Daisuke Sekimoto & Kazuyuki Fujita vs. Okami (Daichi Hashimoto & Hideyoshi Kamitani)

Daichi has beef with Fujita since his horrible days in IGF and the young breh did not forget. Fujita is an a$$hole and hard to work with as always, so for every stiff as fukk shot Daichi throws at him, he no sells it and fires back with even more brutality. Kamitani shows great fire and holds the match together for a while. But eventually it all leads to young Hashimoto wanting to show Fujita he's no pushover anymore, and boy does he show him, landing a spin kick that busts Fujita open from then on the match kinda stumbles it's way to the end, but it had a lot of fun shyt to make it worth your time

 

[MenacingMonk]

I read NJ sold a little over 2k tickets for LBC; not sure if it's legit. I guess it's not bad for first week. I copped mine at the BO. They actually had a variety of tickets; last time they only sold the high bleachers.

Time Bomb out 9-12 months according to Meltzer

Hiromu Takahashi's Expected To Be Out 9-12 Months Following Injury At NJPW G1 Special - WrestlingInc.com

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that New Japan doctors have given Takahashi a nine to twelve-month recovery time before he is able to make an in-ring return. Doctors weren't able to find any nerve damage which is a positive sign, all it will take is waiting for the bones to heal in Takahashi's case.

Takahashi can be athletic and start training once again in six months. Due to the aggressive style he works, doctors added an extra three months of training before the Los Ingobernables de Japon member can make a return to the ring.

Irie got the KO-D title back. Sami's reign lasted 8 days, I have no clue what was the point of that or who could benefit from it but it's whatever I guess.

Also,

Sami winning it in an indy show against one of his students is one thing(though I havent seen the match) but to go to Japan to drop it a week later is some Heavymetalweight type shyt

 

[Jmare007]

Takuya Nomura & Fuminori Abe vs. Ryota Nakatsu & Ryuichi Sekine - BASARA 8/11/18
Leonid Agutin

This match could be simply summarized as "4 c*nts trying to out strike each other" best pairing was Nakatsu constantly wanting to prove a point by defying Takuya...it did not go well for him one cotdamn time

That last slap had me

Fun encounter, can't wait for Abe and Nomura in the tag league.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Checking out some DDT since it's been a minute and I want to catch up with the King of DDT. I just found out that Sami won the belt and lost it within a week. DDT is a fukking mystery when it comes down to booking I swear
