Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

1. Rene Dupree is still wrestling?

2. Wagner put his mask back on and isn't rocking the hot grandpa look? Wagner is one of those dudes like Andrade where you wonder why the fukk they were in a mask at all? Or is that Wagner Jr.'s son? If so, dude needs to hit the gym, his old ass dad is in much better shape.

Yuya Aoki vs Jake Lee - BJW Strong Climb Tournament 3/20/20
link in spoiler

Spoiler

"I've got something to prove" Aoki is when he's at it's best and him being the Jr. champ facing an outsider is a perfect place to get that type of performance out of him. I thought Yuya was fukking great in this, showing fire, defiance, good strikes and a sense of urgency. Lee was good but as always with him he just lacks presence. He's supposed to be the big name outsider for this tourney and he just feels like another dude on the roster. But still, this this was a fun match, worth 14 minutes of y'alls time

Daisuke Sekimoto vs Isami Kodaka - BJW Strong Climb Tournament 3/20/20

Spoiler

One minute in and I'm already in love with this match as Isami fights like hell to get out of a simple headlock this was fukking great. Minimalistic wrestling (as you can get it in 2020) at it's finest once again. Isami was fukking incredible here, the focused offense he had on Daisuke's arm during the whole match was beautiful to watch, the counters he made to avoid Sekimoto's strength were perfectly timed and done in the exact moment of the match that were needed. Daisuke's role in this is play the brute that can overcome Kodaka's intelligence just by being stronger. And when you combine a dude that can play the brute with such ease and a wrestler that can work so smart as Kodaka, you get a dope fukking match like this one @TheGodling @Scottie Drippin @TrueEpic08 @Legal @SubZeroDegrees @Ace of the Metropolitan

That's El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.

Rene Dupree winning titles in 2020

I mean, this is big, huge for NOAH

Just when you think NOAH might actually be going somewhere, they do this.

Like others, I could've sworn this dude quit wrestling altogether.

Apparently, Miho Abe has changed allegiances and now is Ryusuke Taguchi's valet

THE place to watch puro and All Japan. Some of the big matches have "testimonials" were Ditch explains the historical backround/importance. But even without those, he does an excellent job previewing every match.
