Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

I hope they bring the giant panda to make TSC throw a fit.

I think they posted a video of Andreza waking up and getting ready to wrestle like a week ago

Ospreay/ZSJ was everything it needed to be and then some. Holy fukk, that restored the feeling for me.

Crazy that it has been 4 years since Windy Man's cup win.

I'm watching DDT's show from last night just now and I hear a helicopter sound effect. I have such a washed oldhead brain that anytime I've heard a helicopter in anything since '97 - I subconsciously think:

"He's in The Philipines? He has a mansion?"

Well, shyt. As soon as I read that I heard the beat in my head, so I guess I'm status too.

Match was fire.

I'm waiting on the moment that ZSJ pulls up to Dynamite with Suzuki, Taichi and Desperado to confront Danielson, Regal and the mandem

Late pass, but this Suzuki v Hiromu match.

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH.

It was like the chop version of Ibushi and Taichi's kick match from the G1. There must have been legit a couple of hundred chops over the course of 10 minutes.

Suzuki the GOAT

Kevin Kelly said like 120 something chops

Found out about this weird promotion, Colega Pro. Only mentioned once in this thread.

There's nothing carny about BASARA, 2AW, Colega Pro, ChocoPro, etc

Don't know about carny, but I'm astonished at the fact they do almost daily shows with like 5 people in attendance at this average sized arena by puro standards.
Seems like they own it, but the fact they have a big ass screen, multi-camera work and crazy lightning makes this whole thing suspicious. Who is funding this? Some Japanese money mark? Cause I don't see how they are making money with this operation. Seems like the Bodyguard was involved at some point. Still can't believe he dropped off AJPW for these rinky dink promotions.

Also found this article about how sloppy is their shop: THE RISE & FALL OF COLEGA PRO WRESTLING

Whole thing is perplexing to me.

Maybe each.

Those dudes were going HAM.

Edit: Kevin Kelly claimed there were 219 chops on commentary just now

When someone gets a link to zsj vs shingo please @ me

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

The finals are ZSJ and Naito. I'm interested.

They bring extra hate when they wrestle.

Sorry Naito but it’s about to be Zack Sabre Time once again

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

That last match

Spoiler

My guy ZSJ - the only Englishman who consistently delivers when the pressure is on in the finals of a major tournament

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

Spoiler: Cup result

 

[MenacingMonk]

I didn’t even watch any of the NJC. I’m sure there was quite a few good matches. Gotta check the finals.

Spoiler

ZSJ getting his props.
