Shota is getting the green light push because he's their best prospect since Okada. If he sucked it wouldn't matter if he was Red Shoes kid, he'd probably end up being the next Yuyiro.

You put some damn respec on the Roid Gawd's name!

I was a Kitamura fan when he was announced as a Dojo student. But his case was always one of potential, Umino has natural talent.

Speaking of Young Lions, Kanemitsu return to the ring this morning. I thought breh retired.

That's still hope of a Big K return

If Kenny does stay with NJPW, it seems clear he's turning on Ibushi at some point next year and we're getting him and Ibushi at the Dome in 2020.

What does Asuka winning the E women’s title, as well as the first women’s RR, do for her if she ever returned to Japan to wrestle?

It wouldn't make her more of a draw or anything. They don't care about the WWE in Japan.

That's a very good question. I know very little about Joshi but it's a different aninal conpared to male puro. I have a hard tine seeing Asuka's run as something that could help them turn things around in any significant way. She could create her own promotion or take over one when she returns though she'll get the financial backing to do whatever she wants, most likely.

Who is our resident Joshi expert?

Choshu at the Dojo



Hopefully he's teaching these younglings that matches could be amazing without having to last 40 fukking minutes

I'm no expert but I'm not sure if WWE's women's division is seen like the mens division yet. I would think it would do more for an up and comer in NXT like Bianca Belair than someone established like Io, Sane or Asuka.


Who IS the Joshi expert though? We dont talk about it much.
