WWE buying NOAH or AJPW would genuinely bum me out a bit, to think of the Baba/Jumbo/Misawa/Kobashi/Hansen/Funks and so on legacies being in the hands of Vince


However if that led to classic AJ/NOAH content on the Network

MiSu is done with NJ right? Perfect timing to become the head trainer at the WWE NXT Japan Dojo






Of course leading to HHH vs Minoru Suzuki at NXT Takeover Tokyo

Current All Japan doesn't own their library before 2011 (or 2013, can't remember) edit: shyt, they can't show stuff before 2017 on their own streaming service.

I'd be fine if somehow those two promotions merged tbh. Being NXT Japan or whatever. Their current states already take a hit on their past legacies, not sure a WWE takeover (don't ask me how) will do more harm to their legacies. It would most likely kill them as promotions eventually but again, their current versions aren't what we remember them to be anyway, those promotions died a long time ago tbh

EDIT: there's a whole thread on the Stadom purchase.

Started an art project that I came up with a while back today, based around Puro wrestlers. The idea actually kinda came from this thread

Knocked off the Okada piece this afternoon. It came out better than I hoped.

Already planned out the LIJ piece for next weekend. I'll get round to posting them when I've done a few

Yeah imma just go ahead and need every great Shibata match. This cat is VIOLENT brehs.

Just got done watching his match vs Okada at Sakura Genesis 2017. Dude was hitting Okada with some shots that left me like


..... and then the disrespect

Dude is dominating and Okada is kneeled over just and Shibata is doing some head scrapes, just fukkin with him. Well I guess he wanted to wake this dude up, so he kneels down, blows on his hand, and slaps the fukk out of the back of Okada's head.....




If he would have spit on him afterwards I would have lost my shyt.

Oh and I'm already tired of Okada winning in 2017

GOATsuyori Shibata Apart from the whole 'near death' thing, that match was flawless.

Despite being a complete fukking lunatic, his return at the G1 provoked one of the most genuine emotional reactions I've ever seen from an wrestling crowd.





Also - look up his matches with Ishii and Suzuki

Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (Astronauts) vs. Shigehiro Irie & Yuji Okabayashi - BJW Saikyo Tag League 9/25/19
Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura vs. Shigehiro Irie & Yuji Okabayashi

outstanding tag match, just non stop hard hitting action. With Strong BJ seemingly taking a hiatus, Abe and Nomura are my new favorite tag team, those two are fukking gold together. @Ace of the Metropolitan I bet you haven't seen Irie have an awesome match in a while, just let Strong BJ show you the way

Kento dominance continues. I have no idea what Uncle Jun plan is?

Waiting for the young guys to be ready. No point giving this big title switch rub to the old heads and the young guys aren't ready to actually head the company yet. Just keep the ship steady with Kento and continue the young guys come up.

Third time probably gonna be the charm for Nomura.
