- 1:22[UNKNOWN]: Oh my god say it is episode number 312.
- 1:25[UNKNOWN]: This week please rejoin by returning guest.
- 1:28[UNKNOWN]: It's Paul from the Apple Flow show.
- 1:29[UNKNOWN]: Hi Paul.
- 1:31[UNKNOWN]: Hello John.
- 1:31[UNKNOWN]: How are you doing?
- 1:32[UNKNOWN]: It's been.
- 1:34[UNKNOWN]: It hasn't been being that long to be honest, but you know it feels like it's been a long time.
- 1:40[UNKNOWN]: It's been like two or three months I think right because the last one you're going to come on you're like you through your back out or something.
- 1:45[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, that's true.
- 1:46[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's true.
- 1:47[UNKNOWN]: That that's probably I'm thinking it hasn't but yeah, no, I was on for the half year half year half year was on and then yeah, I fucked up my back and I had to skip a show unfortunately.
- 1:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:59[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, it'll work out, okay, though.
- 2:01[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I think it's like your first one since end of June and now it's like the start of September.
- 2:06[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, like two months.
- 2:07[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, you're back here.
- 2:09[UNKNOWN]: You had a fun adventure with a hornet in your room.
- 2:11[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but yeah, so yeah, we we got massively late on recording the show because that was a giant S hornet in my room that me and a friend had to take care of and we eventually did and then
- 2:23[UNKNOWN]: The friend also kind of got possessed by the spirit of the hornet and all of the kind of hung around for a while too.
- 2:29[UNKNOWN]: That's right.
- 2:31[UNKNOWN]: And you just got back them all into, yes, we talk about it on this on the new Emerald Flow Show.
- 2:37[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 2:39[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, so I don't have to repeat all that since it's on the new episode of the Emerald Flow Show.
- 2:43[UNKNOWN]: People can listen to it on that, but I'm correct, man.
- 2:45[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, you seem like you seem like you enjoyed this show.
- 2:47[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
- 2:49[UNKNOWN]: Like I said, as I mentioned on that show, I was a bit of a, I feel like I'm a bit of a low man on the main event.
- 2:57[UNKNOWN]: What's not going to be my top 10 either?
- 2:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, like it's, it's in my top five right now, but it's not going to make my, like, top three, yeah.
- 3:05[UNKNOWN]: It's not gonna be my top 10, because I get a four and a half, but this is a really, really deep year for me so far.
- 3:11[UNKNOWN]: So you need to be fourth, three quarters to make my top 10.
- 3:14[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 3:15[UNKNOWN]: And for a media other thing as well, it wasn't even my favorite all in main event.
- 3:22[UNKNOWN]: Like it's probably my second favorite, but then it's in like, Swarthus, my still my number one.
- 3:29[UNKNOWN]: I think I would have this my favorite all in Maine.
- 3:31[UNKNOWN]: I think I like it better than Dielsen's where I was kind of low on Dielsen's So I didn't even I didn't even have this matches my favorite match on the show that I like Mercedes and Dad was a really good one Yeah, same rating four and a half but I like that mine a little teensy bit more You only match on the show.
- 3:47[UNKNOWN]: It's only lost four matches into the whole show.
- 3:49[UNKNOWN]: I thought they all caught a three-way Which really fucking stupid
- 3:53[UNKNOWN]: I talked about last week, all right, that was my problem with that match in general where I was just like any combination of these free guys in a one or one I would have preferred to this freeway
- 4:17[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they seem to do that kind of thing a lot, but yeah, but yeah, it's just like why you could have done a much cooler match than this kind of thing.
- 4:27[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I guess we'll see, I've never been to an ADW stadium show.
- 4:30[UNKNOWN]: I just realized I've been to a bunch of the paperbrews, but only in our readers because they ran the one in Texas last year and I didn't go to that.
- 4:36[UNKNOWN]: So I mean, I will say it is worth it.
- 4:39[UNKNOWN]: It is worth it to actually go to like a big stadium.
- 4:41[UNKNOWN]: So show because the atmosphere still like pretty damn awesome.
- 4:45[UNKNOWN]: I will say that.
- 4:49[UNKNOWN]: Uh, but yeah, so we got to say, I mean, I don't think there's a rumor they're going to run it in somewhere in North America next year.
- 4:55[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if it actually did actually state it where yeah.
- 4:57[UNKNOWN]: I mean, they're not probably not going to run a Vembley show next year because they generally have announced that like at the end of the previous show.
- 5:08[UNKNOWN]: And this time around the only announced like a couple of shows in February.
- 5:12[UNKNOWN]: So I do have a feeling that they're not going to run Vembley again next year.
- 5:16[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so I wonder where they'll run and I'm like a North America stadium show.
- 5:21[UNKNOWN]: I guess what to say.
- 5:21[UNKNOWN]: I mean, if it's anywhere close, I would probably try to go just to go.
- 5:26[UNKNOWN]: But I don't know how much I would travel for that.
- 5:29[UNKNOWN]: So like if it's West Coast dude, I could probably do that.
- 5:31[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I know.
- 5:32[UNKNOWN]: Or if it's like, I don't know, like, I don't know, fucking Alabama somehow or something.
- 5:36[UNKNOWN]: Oh, if you can run it and like the fucking,
- 5:38[UNKNOWN]: like uh... what's the name of the tracks stadium it's uh... yeah i would i would i would you don't do it don't go to florid don't could jack some of those not yeah i would not go to florida for that maybe like
- 5:54[UNKNOWN]: Like, anywhere in Northease for sure, maybe like Atlanta, I think Atlanta is like the farther south I would go.
- 6:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's fair.
- 6:01[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's fair.
- 6:02[UNKNOWN]: Chicago is easy too, if they ran Chicago.
- 6:05[UNKNOWN]: Um, they were like Midwest or whatever, but yeah, I wouldn't go much farther than that probably.
- 6:09[UNKNOWN]: So Toronto, Toronto is easy.
- 6:12[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 6:13[UNKNOWN]: But, but, yeah, I guess we'll say.
- 6:15[UNKNOWN]: For now, we'll see, we'll see how that one goes just in, you know, general.
- 6:21[UNKNOWN]: Um, the other big news though, this is more about a Japanese state of the show.
- 6:26[UNKNOWN]: We finally, this is, this happened like, I think early this morning, our time, finally got rest of the kingdom ticket info.
- 6:32[UNKNOWN]: Could I feel, it's been, it was way later, later than last year, like last year, we're just already kind of late.
- 6:37[UNKNOWN]: They sent out the team new Japan email.
- 6:38[UNKNOWN]: I think like August 21st and now it's like September 7th, September 7th, it's recording this and they finally put out that inspiration.
- 6:46[UNKNOWN]: So I pulled up now.
- 6:48[UNKNOWN]: I was very curious what it would be like.
- 6:50[UNKNOWN]: Obviously, I feel like this is interesting to a lot of our listenership at least.
- 6:55[UNKNOWN]: Because obviously last year, they did, it was a ton of hatching retirement.
- 7:00[UNKNOWN]: So they did jack-up prices, especially a ring side, but really have all the sections.
- 7:06[UNKNOWN]: So I was curious what the prices would look like for this year compared to last year.
- 7:10[UNKNOWN]: So I dug up my email from last year to be able to compare them.
- 7:14[UNKNOWN]: And for the most part, the premium seats are down in price this year, the ring side is about your way like a lot, right?
- 7:21[UNKNOWN]: Like I saw, I saw you post that graphic and it's like holy shit.
- 7:25[UNKNOWN]: That's a lot less money like that.
- 7:28[UNKNOWN]: So royal royal seats, which is the very ring side.
- 7:31[UNKNOWN]: First row this year is 230,000 yen, which would be because the dollar's gone down again.
- 7:36[UNKNOWN]: So probably around
- 7:38[UNKNOWN]: $1400, I think, something like that.
- 7:40[UNKNOWN]: $1500.
- 7:42[UNKNOWN]: Last year, in 2026, for the time, this past year, the tonneye's retirement, it was one million yen.
- 7:47[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 7:48[UNKNOWN]: So it's down, it's down like 77% like 770,000 yen.
- 7:50[UNKNOWN]: So down a lot from last year.
- 7:51[UNKNOWN]: Second row is down, this past year is 350,000 yen.
- 7:53[UNKNOWN]: This next year is 150,000 yen.
- 7:54[UNKNOWN]: So that's even that one's down 200,000 yen.
- 7:56[UNKNOWN]: So those are two ones that are
- 8:07[UNKNOWN]: Now, for the Rose 3-7 last year, it seemed they seemed to go back and forth.
- 8:12[UNKNOWN]: One year, they'll have a third-row specific category, and one year, they won't.
- 8:16[UNKNOWN]: Because the year I went three years ago, the NATO, over Sonata, I bought third-row, like they had a specific third-row category.
- 8:24[UNKNOWN]: The following year in 2025, they got rid of the third-row category, and they just had one, first-row second-row, then Royal Seas, but I think it was Rose 3-7.
- 8:33[UNKNOWN]: for Tana Hashi, that Hanan's retirement show this past year, they brought the third rose Pacific category back, and it was 200,000 yen.
- 8:41[UNKNOWN]: Now, for next year, they got rid of it again, so now it's back to just be, so it's back to just being world first, for a second, and then generic royal, we can get anywhere from third through row three through seven.
- 8:51[UNKNOWN]: So it's not a perfect comparison.
- 8:53[UNKNOWN]: Last year, if you wanted third row, it would be 200,000 yen, and then the generic royal seat, rose fourth through seven, I believe, would be 100,000 yen.
- 9:01[UNKNOWN]: This year, it's rose three through seven, and it's 90,000 yen.
- 9:05[UNKNOWN]: So it's 10,000 in less than it was this past year and it also includes third row now.
- 9:11[UNKNOWN]: Now for me, I think that's actually not good because I wouldn't want to pay.
- 9:15[UNKNOWN]: Like if they had a specific section that was either, that was even just rose three and four, I would consider paying 90,000 in just like $500,000.
- 9:23[UNKNOWN]: That to me would be very, very tempting.
- 9:26[UNKNOWN]: I would not want to risk paying 90,000 the end of being in row six or seven.
- 9:30[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 9:31[UNKNOWN]: Like that's a rip off.
- 9:32[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 9:33[UNKNOWN]: So that I'm not going to do that.
- 9:34[UNKNOWN]: If they kept the third row section and maybe even even though even if they want to do like third row three and four and made it like 90,000, 100,000,000 that would have been tempting.
- 9:43[UNKNOWN]: 200,000,000 last year was way too much.
- 9:44[UNKNOWN]: I wasn't going to do that for third row.
- 9:46[UNKNOWN]: But if they'd done that, like I think that your I did third row for the night though when in the title I think it was like 90,000 yen maybe it was a hundred thousand it was something around there Maybe even 80,000 but it was something in that range and I did the third row that year But like again, that was specifically third row like guaranteed third row I'm not gonna pay 90,000 yen to get anywhere from row three through seven round like you don't even find out with the team New Japan fan club you don't even find out to you get there and pick up the ticket So that's the other annoying thing.
- 10:13[UNKNOWN]: You know you don't they don't give your actual seat number eight
- 10:16[UNKNOWN]: Um, so that's all the brings side.
- 10:18[UNKNOWN]: The arena seats, which are your, um, your floor seats, everything was sides.
- 10:23[UNKNOWN]: It's a very first few rows.
- 10:24[UNKNOWN]: It's a very, I think it's like it's another first seven rows.
- 10:26[UNKNOWN]: So Rida A, which is what you and I had last time.
- 10:29[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 10:29[UNKNOWN]: It was 30,000 firing in last time.
- 10:31[UNKNOWN]: This time is 28,000 firing in.
- 10:33[UNKNOWN]: So a modest little, uh, decrease of 2,000 yen.
- 10:37[UNKNOWN]: Obviously, it doesn't make a huge difference, especially with the exchange rate.
- 10:40[UNKNOWN]: But that's probably what I'm going to do again.
- 10:41[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to do a Rida A again.
- 10:42[UNKNOWN]: because I think we had a great interview we had.
- 10:44[UNKNOWN]: Oh no, we had amazing, we had an amazing view.
- 10:46[UNKNOWN]: Like I think we were like basically and like the perfect location following everything essentially.
- 10:53[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 10:55[UNKNOWN]: I think, for someone just actually just asked if they just called where we got last time.
- 10:59[UNKNOWN]: I think it was like row of 13 or something, right?
- 11:02[UNKNOWN]: Uh, wait, I think I might have it right next time.
- 11:05[UNKNOWN]: Oh, no.
- 11:07[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, wait, where's the kingdom?
- 11:10[UNKNOWN]: That's a proper part, it is this one, the correct one.
- 11:16[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, let me just.
- 11:18[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, we had rows 11, I think.
- 11:23[UNKNOWN]: 11, okay.
- 11:24[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and then we, I, I will see five and row 11.
- 11:27[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 11:28[UNKNOWN]: okay yeah so that that sounds right we're alive so um but yeah i mean so that's that price we're like kind of in like a corner and like one of the post was ahead of us but wasn't like blocking your view or anything was it?
- 11:40[UNKNOWN]: No we could see perfectly and we had like every we had all of the losers walking out right next year's
- 11:46[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but the ramp to go back to was right next to us.
- 11:48[UNKNOWN]: That was really cool of you.
- 11:50[UNKNOWN]: So that's what I'm going to do again.
- 11:51[UNKNOWN]: And this time I'll pay $2,000,000, so that's cool.
- 11:55[UNKNOWN]: There's $28,000, $5,000,000,000.
- 11:57[UNKNOWN]: The other two arena sections are actually up a teensy bed.
- 12:01[UNKNOWN]: So arena B this year is $21,500,000.
- 12:03[UNKNOWN]: And last year, it's $1,000,000 more than last year.
- 12:08[UNKNOWN]: and I read a C is 15,500, yeah, that's the section they added last year.
- 12:11[UNKNOWN]: They added it and it never was, I read a C before, and that's 2,000 and more than that was this past year.
- 12:16[UNKNOWN]: So this past year was 13,500, yeah.
- 12:20[UNKNOWN]: All these stand sections, the first four stand,
- 12:24[UNKNOWN]: And then the the nosebleed second floor A and B, our price exactly the same as last year.
- 12:29[UNKNOWN]: First floor stand is still 13,000 five every year, second floor A is still 9,500 and second floor B is still 75 every year.
- 12:36[UNKNOWN]: I believe they get increased them to last year.
- 12:40[UNKNOWN]: So they just kept the increase basically.
- 12:42[UNKNOWN]: What is this section?
- 12:46[UNKNOWN]: 55 sheets.
- 12:47[UNKNOWN]: What do I have to fuck that is?
- 12:49[UNKNOWN]: Isn't that tickets?
- 12:51[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, it was, it says 55 sheet seed, second four stand, 5500 again.
- 12:56[UNKNOWN]: I don't know what that is.
- 12:59[UNKNOWN]: Huh.
- 13:00[UNKNOWN]: But anyway, the balcony stand, which are those boxes in between the first four and second four stands, where you get like, you're sort of like basically going to private box, like baseball game, those run up exactly 1,000 yen, it's not a huge increase, it depends if you either get one with food and drink included for 30,000 yen, or you can get one with no food if you're included for a 16,000 fiber yen.
- 13:23[UNKNOWN]: Um, and then all the group seats, all the wacky group boxes they have are all the same prices last year, so no change there.
- 13:31[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, that's your, those are your seats for, uh, for us opinion them.
- 13:37[UNKNOWN]: That's where your team, second place is looking like they're going to go with arena again.
- 13:40[UNKNOWN]: That's what I'm going to request them to presale that for timing.
- 13:43[UNKNOWN]: Actually, that's not a good point.
- 13:44[UNKNOWN]: People are looking to go.
- 13:46[UNKNOWN]: Oh, oh, they have a lot of photos of these boxes those like those private boxes look pretty cool I seriously thought about it But you I feel like you're kind of high up in the first force hand, but you got like a whole couch It's kind of cool again.
- 13:58[UNKNOWN]: I mean wasn't that the recommendation from the bebbler to basically let go for those I don't know.
- 14:03[UNKNOWN]: He's was the balcony stand.
- 14:05[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah.
- 14:05[UNKNOWN]: He's supposed to bulk in his stand.
- 14:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's true.
- 14:07[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah What you were kind of which my friend did it.
- 14:09[UNKNOWN]: He didn't like it that much.
- 14:10[UNKNOWN]: He said he was really he felt like he was really happy But yeah
- 14:14[UNKNOWN]: Okay, so here's the ticket release stage.
- 14:16[UNKNOWN]: We've a list of things we're planning to go.
- 14:17[UNKNOWN]: This is important.
- 14:20[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if America, I'm extremely American ones are going to announce their own fan club pre-sales and shit, but for Japan.
- 14:26[UNKNOWN]: The reception period for the Team New Japan Japanese fan club is this Friday, September 11th, Friday, September 11th, until Thursday, September 17th.
- 14:38[UNKNOWN]: So you can get your application at any time during those six days.
- 14:42[UNKNOWN]: They don't have it on here, but the announcement, but the actual lot of results is usually about a week later.
- 14:48[UNKNOWN]: There's a special loss in pre-sale, which I think anyone can sign up for with a loss in web membership.
- 14:54[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if you can.
- 14:55[UNKNOWN]: Then I'm from America though.
- 14:56[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if you might date a Japanese phone number or something.
- 14:58[UNKNOWN]: But that's from October 7th and October 12th.
- 15:02[UNKNOWN]: Now if you use something like buy sumo tickets, they definitely do have access to that pre-sale.
- 15:06[UNKNOWN]: Because I know they buy people tickets through that all the time and some of the time.
- 15:10[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, you can do by streamer tickets for that and then the general on sale just everybody can buy it easily on Lawson ticket that starts when's the October 14th So there you're rustling the dates again.
- 15:22[UNKNOWN]: It is 9-11 for the start of the team New Japan members of Van's lottery October 7th for the Lawson pre-sale and October 14th for the general on sale date
- 15:40[UNKNOWN]: You know, I just have one thing to say.
- 15:42[UNKNOWN]: Sir, a second risk-a-king them ticket.
- 15:45[UNKNOWN]: Is it yours?
- 15:47[UNKNOWN]: That's okay to take it as hit the towers.
- 15:50[UNKNOWN]: Yes, the twenty-fifth anniversary.
- 15:52[UNKNOWN]: You're a sugy.
- 15:53[UNKNOWN]: Oh, God.
- 15:54[UNKNOWN]: It is the 25th anniversary.
- 15:56[UNKNOWN]: Oh, God.
- 15:57[UNKNOWN]: He's America so much.
- 15:59[UNKNOWN]: He hates America so much.
- 16:00[UNKNOWN]: You schedule the rest looking to freestyle on the twenty-fifth anniversary.
- 16:04[UNKNOWN]: Oh, man, a kid born that day isn't actually not even just illegal at all, but an actual like front cortex developed the dolls actually.
- 16:13[UNKNOWN]: Yes, they're 25, they rent a car with restrictions to the US, but don't you dare say they're cute.
- 16:19[UNKNOWN]: Otherwise, you might get canceled on the internet.
- 16:21[UNKNOWN]: Yes, absolutely.
- 16:25[UNKNOWN]: Apparently saying, saying, Rhinko Nasi, look cute in her little fucking outfit for the hypermuse out thing got me almost canceled.
- 16:34[UNKNOWN]: And I think 20.
- 16:35[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's an easy question of a late get there, Don.
- 16:38[UNKNOWN]: So question of a late get back.
- 16:41[UNKNOWN]: I also like this 50 year old Japanese YouTuber now, so I don't know that might be a question what age gap in the other direction, but she looks so good for 50, I think it's Mido trolley TV is a name of her channel, and yeah, I don't know how this woman she spends all of her time, like, guzzling alcohol on these videos, and like her skin still looks perfect, like what is her skin regimen?
- 17:06[UNKNOWN]: to be 50 years old and drinking like seven beers on every stream and then why you're skinned so looks like that.
- 17:12[UNKNOWN]: I don't understand that.
- 17:13[UNKNOWN]: I mean okay like I'm not 50 yet but I have been kind of been told the same thing but like people a bit younger than me where they were like okay like the first woman that ever told me that I thought it was kind of creepy and then I had multiple woman tell me that so I guess I kind of under the same thing it's already
- 17:34[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't think, I don't, nobody ever thinks I look my age either, which is funny because, you know, I get like, I, there was a year or two ago, I had like an Uber driver asked me, you know, what college I want to go and I'm like, but yeah, so, but yeah, I don't, I think it's, I think also just dressed like a fucking teenager still problem.
- 17:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, no, yeah.
- 17:58[UNKNOWN]: But like I don't think I don't think I really look my age and I think a big part of it maybe you're the same way and maybe this woman's the same way I don't really go out in the sun like ever
- 18:08[UNKNOWN]: So that I think that has a lot of you.
- 18:11[UNKNOWN]: Like sun being like, you know, like tanning, especially can really like age you.
- 18:16[UNKNOWN]: So because I'm already naturally so pale that like, you know, there's really no point.
- 18:21[UNKNOWN]: I mean, going to effort to get tanned, like I just get burned.
- 18:24[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I mean, I don't really do any tanning.
- 18:27[UNKNOWN]: So I think that probably helps my skin say okay.
- 18:29[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I can actually get a tan, but I've also again, because I'm like,
- 18:36[UNKNOWN]: Seacoast, right?
- 18:38[UNKNOWN]: I have actually been taught to properly apply sunscreen every time I actually go out and it's remotely sunny.
- 18:45[UNKNOWN]: So I think that actually helps on on that and for me.
- 18:49[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 18:50[UNKNOWN]: Well, I don't know how we got on this.
- 18:52[UNKNOWN]: Oh, we're on birthday devices somehow.
- 18:54[UNKNOWN]: Somehow we got to 25-year-olds.
- 18:56[UNKNOWN]: Yes, 25-year-olds are 9-11, OK?
- 18:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, because it's night 11.
- 19:00[UNKNOWN]: Because of 9-year-olds.
- 19:03[UNKNOWN]: News of hand, putting other things on 9-11.
- 19:04[UNKNOWN]: All right, before I get to this show, the only thing I want to mention to is if you happen to be going to Colossal County East in the Poconotes this week.
- 19:12[UNKNOWN]: which I know at least one listener who is planning to go, I have two panels so you can come see me do a two-hour panel on Japanese travel.
- 19:23[UNKNOWN]: Thursday, two o'clock in events too, I believe it is.
- 19:27[UNKNOWN]: So Gaffer, going to Clause of County is you want to know everything there is to know about traveling to Japan.
- 19:32[UNKNOWN]: come to that panel on Thursday at 2 o'clock and then Friday at midnight.
- 19:36[UNKNOWN]: You can come to my panel which I can't remember the name of now and something about Japanese music videos after dark.
- 19:43[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so weird while in the end.
- 19:44[UNKNOWN]: So it's an 18-plus panel.
- 19:46[UNKNOWN]: I play some very, very weird videos.
- 19:49[UNKNOWN]: Some, uh, one, a during gray video that like, actually, I have no idea how it was ever made, like why this video was created.
- 19:56[UNKNOWN]: This video is created only two years after 9-11.
- 19:59[UNKNOWN]: Interestingly,
- 20:02[UNKNOWN]: but yeah it's like it's practically a snuff film that music but I don't know why the fuck it was created it was it's a very weird music video so that urns the 18 plus pretty much by itself not see on top the only one that there's a lot of other videos supercar b just like one of
- 20:18[UNKNOWN]: one of the most infamous Japanese music videos ever I always played out on as my last video.
- 20:22[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it's a good time.
- 20:23[UNKNOWN]: Especially show up like wasted.
- 20:25[UNKNOWN]: I'm sure you'll have a really good time watching these music videos.
- 20:28[UNKNOWN]: So that's Midnight and Panel Room 5, I want to say.
- 20:33[UNKNOWN]: I could have that wrong note, so check your online schedule, it's definitely Friday at Midnight.
- 20:37[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, so good late night panel.
- 20:40[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, so we're going to Klausokani's
- 20:43[UNKNOWN]: Instead of listening to me talk on your iPhone or whatever and Spotify, you can be there in the room while I'm talking.
- 20:50[UNKNOWN]: It's very, very big difference.
- 20:53[UNKNOWN]: All right, let's get to some professional wrestling events.
- 20:57[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, this, this week shows, there's a lot of shows that just kind of happens.
- 21:02[UNKNOWN]: So, yes, I would take that long.
- 21:05[UNKNOWN]: Um, but we'll talk about some stuff that's coming up to, especially with Stardom.
- 21:09[UNKNOWN]: So, start with Stardom.
- 21:10[UNKNOWN]: They are under core control, this past Sunday, uh, or yesterday, September 6th from Quark and Hall.
- 21:16[UNKNOWN]: Somehow did 1,000 through to 27 people with this fucking card?
- 21:21[UNKNOWN]: I was like, I expected them to do like, I don't know, 1100 tops.
- 21:25[UNKNOWN]: So the fact that they even got more than 300 people in here with the nothing card of nothing card.
- 21:31[UNKNOWN]: It's such a nothing card.
- 21:33[UNKNOWN]: Like, I didn't even know what the card was before I watched the show.
- 21:37[UNKNOWN]: And then I was like, okay, like, this is...
- 21:41[UNKNOWN]: this card is awful and no that isn't actually great number to draw with that much of just actually nothing on there.
- 21:48[UNKNOWN]: I guess Apple really wanted to watch the like of what ceremony for the Dream Star Grand Prix.
- 21:54[UNKNOWN]: Hmm, that might have been the big draw actually.
- 21:56[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but that was a very start of the show like that was literally open of the show I don't think I know they could have laughed.
- 22:02[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but yeah, I mean like the um because a ton of people are banged up And we're on the show and then a bunch of people are Mexico.
- 22:09[UNKNOWN]: We're on the show.
- 22:09[UNKNOWN]: So there were a lot of people
- 22:12[UNKNOWN]: Um, so yeah, definitely I a definitely a light show here.
- 22:15[UNKNOWN]: So let's go through those award real quick.
- 22:16[UNKNOWN]: So the they did a lot of best bouts for the each block and also the tournament.
- 22:23[UNKNOWN]: The red block A best bout was Mike Aversus Azumi, which was from night three in Osaka.
- 22:29[UNKNOWN]: That one I gave four stars my my own personal best bout for red A was a psych occur rubber says Rina from night two in Tokyo Hashi, which I gave four in a quarter.
- 22:39[UNKNOWN]: Um, Red Bee Best Fowl, this was the only one I was like, what are you guys smoking?
- 22:44[UNKNOWN]: Uh, May Sierra and Rini Amashita from Night 1 and Oda.
- 22:48[UNKNOWN]: I only give that three and a half.
- 22:49[UNKNOWN]: I think I was, I think most people are higher in that mess than I was though.
- 22:52[UNKNOWN]: So maybe it was fine.
- 22:54[UNKNOWN]: Uh, but yeah, my personal best fowl was also a May Sierra Vowl from Red Bee.
- 22:57[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it was May versus your Tommy Ashishita from Night 14 and Hamilton.
- 23:02[UNKNOWN]: That one I went four and a half stars on.
- 23:04[UNKNOWN]: So that was my favorite match from Red Bee.
- 23:07[UNKNOWN]: uh, blue a, their best bat was Hena versus Hanako from Night A, Newt Sonomia, um, this one I was super close on.
- 23:14[UNKNOWN]: I gave that one four stars.
- 23:16[UNKNOWN]: My personal blue a best bat was Hena versus me on a sake.
- 23:20[UNKNOWN]: That one I went four stars on as well.
- 23:21[UNKNOWN]: That was from night 13 in Kyoto.
- 23:23[UNKNOWN]: So this was a, this was a closest mess because I was second, that was my second play with that blue a best bat.
- 23:28[UNKNOWN]: And the next two I grew with them on.
- 23:30[UNKNOWN]: So Blue Bee Best Fout, they had his mobile want to know, he was just a side count of tiny, night and night in Corican, which I gave four and a half.
- 23:36[UNKNOWN]: And this is the one we agreed on in the blocks.
- 23:38[UNKNOWN]: It was third place, some third place on my list overall, behind the final and the other, the other Matt say list here, which was the tournament best fout.
- 23:46[UNKNOWN]: Renewers his canami, the quarter final match from night 13 in Corican, I gave it four and a half.
- 23:52[UNKNOWN]: And it was also my best
- 23:57[UNKNOWN]: with the same rating.
- 23:58[UNKNOWN]: So, yes, those two, I was in agreement on the Blue Bee and the overall tournament best bow.
- 24:03[UNKNOWN]: I also feel like the Momo Watanabe, where it's like a psychomotani, was going to win best match of that block anyway, because I feel like that feels like so purposely designed for those two to get that award so that they're included in that award ceremony.
- 24:26[UNKNOWN]: right yeah yeah well it's good then they went on an amazing match I guess no I mean of course that that's probably like that's probably like the professional pride of those two to actually be like no no like we know we're gonna win this award anyway so we actually want to go in and actually like actually put up a good match but it also very much felt like oh yeah no like this is like designed for you to actually be present at this award ceremony because we need you to be here
- 25:05[UNKNOWN]: I guess so.
- 25:06[UNKNOWN]: They won't.
- 25:06[UNKNOWN]: They want to give her something.
- 25:07[UNKNOWN]: I guess because she got so over the tournament on like technique.
- 25:10[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 25:12[UNKNOWN]: Fighting spirit award went to Saita.
- 25:14[UNKNOWN]: That one makes sense.
- 25:15[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 25:16[UNKNOWN]: She has a lot of fighting spirit.
- 25:17[UNKNOWN]: She's very tiny and fights everybody bigger than her.
- 25:21[UNKNOWN]: Outstanding achievement went to Amisore.
- 25:23[UNKNOWN]: I could see it.
- 25:24[UNKNOWN]: I mean, she had a good tournament.
- 25:25[UNKNOWN]: And she again seems to be getting pretty over now.
- 25:27[UNKNOWN]: So I get by the one they want her in that
- 25:30[UNKNOWN]: in the award ceremony.
- 25:32[UNKNOWN]: And then obviously second place Charlie Kitten winner Rita.
- 25:35[UNKNOWN]: So there you go.
- 25:36[UNKNOWN]: Here's your those are your five star awards for this year.
- 25:40[UNKNOWN]: The opening contest was speaking of Rina Marwaka, the two of them, defeating Natsupoi and Anakania in 1917.
- 25:49[UNKNOWN]: arena pinning on it with the pink devil.
- 25:51[UNKNOWN]: I was expecting bead for you to be there to attack on it because she attacked her on the last show and now they're wrestling next week this week.
- 26:00[UNKNOWN]: I mean at the Yokama Buddha County show, but she just wasn't here for some reasons.
- 26:04[UNKNOWN]: No, yeah.
- 26:04[UNKNOWN]: I don't even know like she's not she wasn't under the show at all.
- 26:07[UNKNOWN]: Like that was kind of weird.
- 26:09[UNKNOWN]: Okay, maybe start them to skip at some time off to just do whatever the fuck.
- 26:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 26:15[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, maybe these fucking crowds sure do love them to somewhere rockin' out.
- 26:20[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 26:20[UNKNOWN]: Like she got another big reaction coming out.
- 26:23[UNKNOWN]: The crowd made sure to show us a bunch of rocket towels too.
- 26:26[UNKNOWN]: That will mean that the camera, I mean, make sure to show us a bunch of rocket towels in the crowd along with Reno ones, obviously.
- 26:33[UNKNOWN]: uh... i'd like to play like patting whenever chaining for rena over her that was funny i did work together some cheers to so she knew what she was doing
- 26:42[UNKNOWN]: Uh, but then rena after a hand shake, but it was just a trick, so she could spit her face, of course.
- 26:48[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, and I got some very close near falls off a rena with flash pen attempts towards the end.
- 26:53[UNKNOWN]: Before she of course ate the pig devil.
- 26:55[UNKNOWN]: Uh, fun little over three and a half stars.
- 26:57[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, enjoy that.
- 26:58[UNKNOWN]: Like rena is going to be such a massive baby face whenever she actually turns.
- 27:06[UNKNOWN]: Like she was already super over in like a not heal way when I went when like I was over in Japan like early in the year But like now it's very much just like like yes rena still those like a lot of like healers stuff and everything
- 27:27[UNKNOWN]: But that's not how the crowd reacts to her.
- 27:30[UNKNOWN]: The crowd does not react to her as he in any way, shape or form.
- 27:35[UNKNOWN]: Like they're just cheating for her, just doing the most like decently things you've ever seen in a wrestling ring.
- 27:42[UNKNOWN]: Like she could probably like, okay, I think there's a realistic chance where Rina could just take out a gun and shoot her opponent in the head and the crowd would still cheer for her.
- 27:55[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it'd be a 50, 50 or less.
- 27:57[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like, yeah, absolutely.
- 27:59[UNKNOWN]: So whenever she actually does like the formal turn, like that's just going to like, catapult her to like the actual like straight top of the promotion right there.
- 28:10[UNKNOWN]: Match number two, Machito, Kikyo for Asawa, and Riyon, defeating Sayahida, Matoi Hamabe, and Uta-Miyashishida.
- 28:18[UNKNOWN]: It was Kikyo submitting Matoi in 1443.
- 28:23[UNKNOWN]: First of all, I don't know if you saw this, but yet the day before this, there was a event with the each-over-spec-goondam, where originally they were told.
- 28:35[UNKNOWN]: you know, like it was like a talk show basically like a signing.
- 28:38[UNKNOWN]: If you guys sell out this event, then we'll make you an official unit.
- 28:42[UNKNOWN]: That's where Tarot caught a told them.
- 28:43[UNKNOWN]: They sort of the event way ahead of time and Tarot goes up there and's like, look, obviously, market yields a big star and should sell out this event.
- 28:51[UNKNOWN]: So that's not impressive enough.
- 28:52[UNKNOWN]: Now you need to get one million views on TikTok and then I will make you a actual unit.
- 29:00[UNKNOWN]: So that is their new challenge.
- 29:02[UNKNOWN]: First of all, Tarot, what's the fuck man?
- 29:04[UNKNOWN]: You're going to say who's supposed to be to heal them this thing.
- 29:07[UNKNOWN]: You're baiting switching.
- 29:08[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 29:09[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 29:12[UNKNOWN]: So they just immediately launched TikToks and started doing cute dances, of course.
- 29:15[UNKNOWN]: So they're going to get there.
- 29:16[UNKNOWN]: They're going to get there.
- 29:17[UNKNOWN]: They're going to get there.
- 29:18[UNKNOWN]: Um, I liked their wacky pyramid pose in this match, but it did get broken up pretty correct by your time.
- 29:24[UNKNOWN]: I think, uh, there was a funny moment, too, the, uh, ethos doing the second, how I know what, in the corner, and it gets briefly interrupted by Eda trying to power bomb out of there.
- 29:35[UNKNOWN]: But then her friends come in, he's going to run, and just kind of push them back into the corner.
- 29:40[UNKNOWN]: And, you know, just looks down and just goes, Eda and Chad, like nothing happened.
- 29:44[UNKNOWN]: That was very funny.
- 29:46[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yes, Kiko got the one over and over twice the admissions in ankle lock, uh, another very fun match here at three and a half star match.
- 29:52[UNKNOWN]: Nothing like essential again, but good.
- 29:54[UNKNOWN]: Not a good match.
- 29:57[UNKNOWN]: Really thoughts on this one.
- 29:59[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, no, basically the same thing, but it's just like, you know, it was really fun and everything.
- 30:05[UNKNOWN]: I'm just like, I.
- 30:08[UNKNOWN]: get why they're kind of teasing everything out of like the E2 and everything, but like it's been six months, right?
- 30:15[UNKNOWN]: More than six months at this point, they should just kind of get off the pot and just make them on official faction, like it's kind of getting
- 30:28[UNKNOWN]: Like you should just do it, that's basically my mom, I may take away with this.
- 30:33[UNKNOWN]: They have been around for so long now, which is it's kind of getting to the point where it's getting kind of weird that they aren't in a visual faction yet.
- 30:41[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I guess they just think this is a good way to keep.
- 30:44[UNKNOWN]: Interesting, up in Machito, I guess, yeah, but I don't know, I guess we'll say yeah, the three way Madison X, Iosacara pinfooky again in six minutes and 14 seconds.
- 30:57[UNKNOWN]: He and I was also involved.
- 30:59[UNKNOWN]: There's some good action with soccer and Hena in between the normal, uh, spooky game comedy spots.
- 31:05[UNKNOWN]: So and I went through in a court on the whole thing and we had a little generous, but I like I also like
- 31:10[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, just perfectly acceptable, like lower cut match just didn't waste your time either right like six minutes.
- 31:17[UNKNOWN]: It's just the perfect time you don't want this to like always say it's welcome to be quite honest.
- 31:23[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the next match is one of the two matches on a chart actually like really recommend what was a tag team match with
- 31:39[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, this is just a step above everything else on the shoulder to this point, uh, Shuring your match it to had a great showdown that called back to their also, uh, either BGB women's telemence, they have back in June.
- 31:50[UNKNOWN]: And then Kiyoka, once again, fucking shows she should have been the five star because she had a great exchange for the O.K., leading up to O.K., you put it over the airway crash.
- 31:59[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, I won three and three quarters on this.
- 32:00[UNKNOWN]: I thought was really good.
- 32:02[UNKNOWN]: And again, I just really wish we got more Kiyoka
- 32:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, kind of feel the same for you about this.
- 32:08[UNKNOWN]: I was like, I mean, my thing actually going into this match was like, I didn't have like super high expectations on this just.
- 32:16[UNKNOWN]: based on how the show had gone up until this point.
- 32:20[UNKNOWN]: And in this definite way, I exceeded my expectations where, by the end of it, I was really into it.
- 32:27[UNKNOWN]: I kind of did actually flirt with four stars for this, and then eventually I was just like, it don't think it quite got there for me, but it actually got like surprisingly close to it for like,
- 32:40[UNKNOWN]: You know, what very much is like the very definition of just like a midcard match, and I was like, yeah, no, like little to the know that this was probably like the most I would actually get into a match on the show.
- 32:55[UNKNOWN]: Uh, then we had a six man tag.
- 33:09[UNKNOWN]: Um, the entrance for lady and how to go carrying walk out and the shoulders together was pretty funny because it was like heard I think six anniversary since the debut.
- 33:18[UNKNOWN]: So she got to be a giant for the day I guess, but
- 33:22[UNKNOWN]: They're holding it up there.
- 33:23[UNKNOWN]: I don't know how high that would have been.
- 33:24[UNKNOWN]: Probably like I don't know like a six foot six person or something.
- 33:29[UNKNOWN]: Because they're obviously way you see an honk or a quite tall Fuwa had new gear, or they think her anime persona on the front, unfortunately it might be AI generated.
- 33:37[UNKNOWN]: So yeah I mean that that's a general problem.
- 33:41[UNKNOWN]: Let's start them recently Yeah Well, I think I think she's the first one to have it on another gear though.
- 33:47[UNKNOWN]: I think
- 33:48[UNKNOWN]: True, like, but there's definitely been a lot of it, like, obviously, in, like, um, There are entrance videos, specials.
- 33:53[UNKNOWN]: Yes, entrance videos, there's like a lot of problems.
- 33:56[UNKNOWN]: They're like, Sayida has just, like, like, her gorilla is, that's one of the saddest ones there.
- 34:03[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 34:05[UNKNOWN]: Uh, there is this cute call box spot where all three girls on the, uh, the Ciri has Ricky fluid team, we're doing the face wash together, but because the last time she's going to, she's tried to do this, what she runs to the rope, she tripped and fell, Ciri this time only went about a half way before running back, but that would just find the crab booter and like a joking way, and then she even got a thumbs down from her own unit, mate, I a soccer on the floor to thought was very funny, it's like, wow, I
- 34:32[UNKNOWN]: Those would be the captain here, if those would be more supportive than this.
- 34:36[UNKNOWN]: Fuwa ended up hitting a kind of mesh, shining with Jean Waka, which unfortunately was the pen.
- 34:41[UNKNOWN]: Pretty good, but like three and a quarter.
- 34:44[UNKNOWN]: That's a big pin for what Fuwa though, I guess.
- 34:47[UNKNOWN]: No, I mean, that's kind of been the thing for like a good chunk of this year, right?
- 34:52[UNKNOWN]: It's like slowly but surely.
- 34:55[UNKNOWN]: They're building up Fuwa Chan to be like more and more important.
- 34:59[UNKNOWN]: And that really was like the main goal of this much to me, as well, where it's like, like she's one of those people where it's like, you, I mean, she's not like old, right?
- 35:11[UNKNOWN]: Like I think that's a bit of an exaggeration because realistically, like, I mean, hey, like,
- 35:23[UNKNOWN]: She started, she started, she started, she started way further.
- 35:27[UNKNOWN]: Exactly.
- 35:27[UNKNOWN]: Like she's a late starter, but like she's not like at like a level of like, I don't know, the cytoprothers who like started wrestling in like, they're like, made to late 30s, right?
- 35:38[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 35:38[UNKNOWN]: So it's not that it's like a super urgent thing, but it's all the thing, well, like you probably want to figure out what you want to do for a relatively quickly.
- 35:46[UNKNOWN]: And it seems like
- 35:51[UNKNOWN]: maybe a little bit too quickly compared to what she's actually able to do, but I also kind of get why they've been a little bit of like urgency of like trying to figure out what level they can actually push her to.
- 36:06[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, we'll see how this works out.
- 36:10[UNKNOWN]: And then we'll try and fan, I'm just a little worried that they are going a little bit too fast to be quite honest.
- 36:18[UNKNOWN]: I guess we'll say, the next match was a tag to match Hanan and Rana Yagami, the feeding army story and Akira Kurogane, Rana, putting Akira in 1133 the beach strike.
- 36:31[UNKNOWN]: This is definitely the weirdest tag teams on a show already full of kind of weird teams because Rana and Rana are the same unit.
- 36:38[UNKNOWN]: I guess I wanted to put the champions on one side, the white belt, the future, versus their two challengers.
- 36:45[UNKNOWN]: If I have any big complaint about current start-up, it's like, I really think they don't respect the unit system enough, both with doing stuff like this, and also just having tons of free people in general, but floating around forever now.
- 37:00[UNKNOWN]: That's been an annoying me the most about 2026 started booking, because I'm kind of a nerd for the unit staff,
- 37:09[UNKNOWN]: Um, again, this fact is pretty good.
- 37:11[UNKNOWN]: Just nothing that's special.
- 37:13[UNKNOWN]: Um, and yeah, we're on a run up into our own challenge or here at the beach striker.
- 37:17[UNKNOWN]: I guess we'll see what that leads to next this coming week at the, uh, your common wooded con show.
- 37:23[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, three in a quarter.
- 37:24[UNKNOWN]: Pretty good little match.
- 37:25[UNKNOWN]: You know, yeah, no, the match is fine.
- 37:27[UNKNOWN]: But I, I maybe actually kind of picking up on the point that you just brought up is I actually feel like,
- 37:34[UNKNOWN]: both start, like because that was actually going to be a point I wanted to like bring up for like a merry gold is I feel like exactly exactly that's the weird thing right we're like in start and you do have the units but they don't they kind of pretend to don't exist anymore and then merry gold like the one key point of like Rossi booking that they've
- 38:03[UNKNOWN]: Like it's like very weird, but like basically they're like two, like Rossi promotions for lack of a better term.
- 38:13[UNKNOWN]: Have kind of abandoned defaction system, which was always like the key.
- 38:20[UNKNOWN]: I would argue with always the key strong point of Rossi booking was the fact that you always had like very strong factions,
- 38:34[UNKNOWN]: And they've both kind of abandoned for very different reasons.
- 38:38[UNKNOWN]: It's like an incredibly like real situation.
- 38:42[UNKNOWN]: And I don't necessarily get while like either promotion is doing it.
- 38:46[UNKNOWN]: I don't get why Stardom has just stopped respecting like factions in this way.
- 38:53[UNKNOWN]: And I also don't get why Marie Gold just doesn't have any factions.
- 38:57[UNKNOWN]: It just...
- 38:58[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, like it doesn't necessarily relate to this match, but it's just it's a thing I don't really understand about these two promotions right now, like it's just it's it's just a weird oddity.
- 39:12[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't really get it.
- 39:14[UNKNOWN]: It's really really weird.
- 39:15[UNKNOWN]: But what are you gonna do, I guess?
- 39:17[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 39:19[UNKNOWN]: I always loved that.
- 39:20[UNKNOWN]: Like that was one of the things I loved the most about, like, Joe Shivers, like, was just like, like, again, same way with, like, Dragon Gate.
- 39:27[UNKNOWN]: Like, the thing that got me into it was like, oh, you have to, like, really cool, like, faction dynamic and now if just abandoned it for, like, seemingly in a reason.
- 39:38[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I hope they, I mean, I don't think quite a band of them started them, but they've definitely degraded it.
- 39:43[UNKNOWN]: So I hope they can like get it back, get it back to what it was.
- 39:47[UNKNOWN]: I just saw a tweet by the way that like gave the card for all out two years ago because it's, you know, it's been two years since I all out.
- 39:53[UNKNOWN]: Um, Ocata and Takeshita were in a fucking four-way match with Mark Briscoe and Orange Cassidy for the Continental.
- 40:00[UNKNOWN]: Two years later, all in there and a three-way match for the International title.
- 40:08[UNKNOWN]: Oh, they look how far they've come in two years every morning.
- 40:13[UNKNOWN]: Look, look what a f**k it looks stupid.
- 40:15[UNKNOWN]: I'm not gonna blame a car for giving half effort to get paid like millions of dollars to those produced young slob, you know?
- 40:25[UNKNOWN]: Rich, Rich, Rich had a great article about, I don't know if you saw it, but the flat and flat page ran about a car.
- 40:31[UNKNOWN]: No, I did see that one now.
- 40:33[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but I got to make a correction too because he didn't he forgot which I Oh, I'd be fair.
- 40:39[UNKNOWN]: I'm not trying to convince him.
- 40:40[UNKNOWN]: It's very very understand.
- 40:41[UNKNOWN]: We forgot about this match.
- 40:42[UNKNOWN]: I don't know how to fuck.
- 40:43[UNKNOWN]: I remember it.
- 40:44[UNKNOWN]: But he like wrote down like, oh, you know, Ocada hasn't had a single eight of your world title shot.
- 40:49[UNKNOWN]: And I got to push my glasses up and go actually, right?
- 40:52[UNKNOWN]: Well, actually he had
- 40:53[UNKNOWN]: Well, actually, he challenged Bryan Danielson for the AW World Championship on an episode of Dynamite in September 2024 and a double title match with the Continental that became a regular just World title match after the first 30 minutes and the match of course ended.
- 41:11[UNKNOWN]: Oh god, I forgot about that dumb shit.
- 41:13[UNKNOWN]: Oh Jesus Christ that was so fucking stupid.
- 41:24[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, so I remember that match immediately, and I was like, no, he has you know what I'm glad that we got the fucking like Recycling the match between us to at least Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah match is awesome But yeah, they got it in a world title match on the episode that's the only match Okay, I've only titled guys.
- 41:41[UNKNOWN]: I never fought for World title and they all ate wrestling in in fucking two and a half years now Which is very funny as the guy that famously refused to challenge for any other title in New Japan besides the world title
- 41:54[UNKNOWN]: Now he's just gone from Slopped out of Slopped out of Slopped out of Slopped out of Slopped out of Slopped out.
- 41:59[UNKNOWN]: But again, he's getting better.
- 42:00[UNKNOWN]: But he's the thing like I like again I am basically basically my thing is like yeah, this is like him being like like it's so obviously he doesn't give a fuck
- 42:10[UNKNOWN]: You know, like especially after we saw him against Tanahashi.
- 42:15[UNKNOWN]: Well, like it's very clear he gives his shit a new Japan.
- 42:19[UNKNOWN]: Like he, yes, he came home to us like shitty like a wfim at the start of the match, but then they played his proper theme after the match.
- 42:29[UNKNOWN]: they play this actual like real like new Japan people and it's so clear that he just does not give a shit like he's just there for the paycheck in a w and if he ever gets back to new Japan as a full-time wrestler like you will just get actual card I get like it's so fucking obvious.
- 42:47[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, I don't know, because they were talking about this in the Slack.
- 42:52[UNKNOWN]: And I found a bunch of like, I basically did like a bunch of math on this, using K-dvantages as the, so let me pull this up.
- 43:00[UNKNOWN]: I know I had it the other day.
- 43:01[UNKNOWN]: Like using K-dge match basically as the, their K-dge match ratings basically like where they were, the match is top 50 matches to like determine, you know,
- 43:13[UNKNOWN]: Let me say.
- 43:14[UNKNOWN]: I'm killing for time.
- 43:15[UNKNOWN]: I try to scroll up to where it was.
- 43:16[UNKNOWN]: If I hadn't been playing or talking about this, but I might as well.
- 43:20[UNKNOWN]: Oh, no, that was in U.S. freshly mop your own.
- 43:22[UNKNOWN]: That's why I can't find it.
- 43:24[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 43:25[UNKNOWN]: So Ocada in Kate.
- 43:27[UNKNOWN]: Okay, let's say.
- 43:29[UNKNOWN]: Ocada's been eight every three plus years now.
- 43:32[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, right?
- 43:33[UNKNOWN]: Because you got there.
- 43:33[UNKNOWN]: What in 2023?
- 43:34[UNKNOWN]: I think.
- 43:35[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they're on to shit.
- 43:39[UNKNOWN]: I think it was April, I think April May 2023.
- 43:44[UNKNOWN]: So, if you say the time he's been a top star or a slash top worker, if you say that started in 2012, that's approximately 21.4% of his total time as a quote top star, three out of 14 years.
- 43:59[UNKNOWN]: If you went strictly proportional, you would expect him to have around 11 of his top 50 all-time matches, which is like, round it up from 10.75 exactly, in AW.
- 44:11[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 44:11[UNKNOWN]: Do you want to guess how many he actually has of his top 50 in AW?
- 44:16[UNKNOWN]: Of his top 50 Metas in AW, I'm going to say free.
- 44:21[UNKNOWN]: You're so close for four of his top 40 matches took place in AW.
- 44:28[UNKNOWN]: And nearly equal of total amount of time is career, approximately two and a half years in total, was spent in clap crowd New Japan, which shouldn't make a huge spin, obviously.
- 44:38[UNKNOWN]: Clap crowd New Japan, no crowds, can't make noise, a dire environment in general, produce the same number of his top 50 matches in the world.
- 44:48[UNKNOWN]: Right, I produced four of them.
- 44:51[UNKNOWN]: And it may be a fifth, because there's a lot of kind of shingle back from February 2020, if I'm not even sure, I think that might look like that, which in which case there's one more.
- 44:59[UNKNOWN]: So then that introduced five.
- 45:01[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I mean, also there's nothing in this top 15 at all, because it's highest ranked date every match is 16th.
- 45:08[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I mean, it just always just shows how like absurd.
- 45:14[UNKNOWN]: They can just cage that.
- 45:15[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, no, it's not me.
- 45:17[UNKNOWN]: There's not me.
- 45:18[UNKNOWN]: It's not me rank it.
- 45:18[UNKNOWN]: This is cage matches rankings.
- 45:20[UNKNOWN]: But also there just shows just how absurdly stacked, you know, like the early part of his career is.
- 45:28[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 45:30[UNKNOWN]: Like it's like how it's totally stacked his like pre-pandemic work is right because that's just like fuck fuck proud versus a W being the same or slightly more for cloud crowd it's that's the most incredible part.
- 45:45[UNKNOWN]: No that that's that's a very big indictment really like.
- 45:51[UNKNOWN]: So anyway there is your O'Connor breakdown.
- 45:54[UNKNOWN]: I wasn't planning doing that but whatever we just
- 45:59[UNKNOWN]: Okay, high-speed title, you know, Mr. Moray versus Coguma on to a 15-minute time of draw, so it's V5 for you to move on.
- 46:10[UNKNOWN]: This match fucking sucked.
- 46:12[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know what the fuck this was like.
- 46:15[UNKNOWN]: This was one of the worst big start-up title matches.
- 46:19[UNKNOWN]: I don't even know how long.
- 46:20[UNKNOWN]: This was worse than the fucking triangle of madness title one.
- 46:23[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, artists.
- 46:25[UNKNOWN]: This was, I don't know what the last one I bought,
- 46:28[UNKNOWN]: So they have a 15-minute time limit here and they spend so long killing time with this fucking kuma thing, which is already bad.
- 46:36[UNKNOWN]: I already complain about doing this in fucking five-star matches.
- 46:39[UNKNOWN]: That's not that count.
- 46:40[UNKNOWN]: This is for a fucking title.
- 46:42[UNKNOWN]: And you're wasting time doing fucking bare dances.
- 46:45[UNKNOWN]: Like, okay, I'm not anti-bare dance.
- 46:47[UNKNOWN]: In a fucking timely undercard match, do all the bare dances you want.
- 46:51[UNKNOWN]: They can be very cute.
- 46:52[UNKNOWN]: But like it's a fucking title match.
- 46:54[UNKNOWN]: Why are we doing this?
- 46:56[UNKNOWN]: What are we doing?
- 46:58[UNKNOWN]: And then Coca-Cola might like let's you in a chase around the ring and then hide to read that I'm like, Coca-Cola is a 15 minute time limit you have to be heard this would make sense if you were the champion if you were the champion then yes, kill time with the bear dance and fucking chase around letter chase around the ring or whatever you have to beat this woman in 15 minutes to become the champion.
- 47:22[UNKNOWN]: of the high-speed division that you have high-speed genius in your fucking name despite having hold this title for three months in your entire career and never since your return.
- 47:30[UNKNOWN]: And she apparently didn't give a fuck because it's been so much time killing time.
- 47:35[UNKNOWN]: She wasted more time with the fucking force Kuma back in the ring and then turned it to a fucking chin lock, I guess, which was at least trying to win the match finally.
- 47:44[UNKNOWN]: And then there is even more Kuma shit after that.
- 47:47[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Unimond did a pretty bad looking dive to the floor at one point.
- 47:50[UNKNOWN]: She like barely got over and made it onto co-gamot 2.
- 47:52[UNKNOWN]: Uh, for two alleged high speed wrestlers, including again, the high speed genius, a lot of stuff in the ring looked pretty fucking slow to be honest.
- 48:03[UNKNOWN]: They finally did some nice little cradle attempts, which was really the bare minimum for high-speed title match, but you know, got some decent earfalls out of that, I guess.
- 48:11[UNKNOWN]: And then Koga got her in a choke sleeper as time limits rapidly running out, which again was an interesting strategy with the fucking 15-minute time limit coming to do here.
- 48:20[UNKNOWN]: You know, my main the ropes, they just kind of rammed back and forth, if you got the 30-second remaining call, you know, hit a laryat, Koga, I'm going to kick that one.
- 48:30[UNKNOWN]: And then another layer, yeah, but Kogamaki did it too.
- 48:32[UNKNOWN]: Kogamaki tried for her school boy thing she does, but unit cut back on it, and then time expired.
- 48:39[UNKNOWN]: The last few minutes saved it from like, good, I guess.
- 48:42[UNKNOWN]: But it was like, you guys see the time limit draw coming a mile away too, given how much time they wasted.
- 48:47[UNKNOWN]: See, this was a fucking pile of shit.
- 48:49[UNKNOWN]: One and a quarter stars, this fucking sucked.
- 48:52[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, this is all for like, I already don't like time limit draws.
- 48:57[UNKNOWN]: It's actually,
- 48:58[UNKNOWN]: Like, it's something I actually talked about on the recent emerald flow show, where I talked about the time limit draw between Masaki, Mochi, Zuki, and Dan Tamara, was like, this was like the rare time limit draw that I actually thought was a good match because my general stance is like, it's wrestling, right?
- 49:23[UNKNOWN]: The outcome is predetermined.
- 49:25[UNKNOWN]: Just give me a definitive finish.
- 49:28[UNKNOWN]: That's all I'm asking for here.
- 49:31[UNKNOWN]: Don't do this half as bullshit where you think you've booked yourself into corner.
- 49:36[UNKNOWN]: You don't have to book yourself into corner.
- 49:41[UNKNOWN]: It's just a failure of the booker if that happens.
- 49:45[UNKNOWN]: And like, much Suzuki was a stand hammer.
- 49:48[UNKNOWN]: It was like the way I wanted it actually like worked for me.
- 49:51[UNKNOWN]: This one very much was not like there's no reason this couldn't have been a definitive finish.
- 49:58[UNKNOWN]: There's no reason Yuna shouldn't just have gotten a clean win on this.
- 50:02[UNKNOWN]: Even if it's worth like a few seconds on the clock as time expires or whatever, if you want to like protect Koguma and everything, like whatever, fuck, that's fine.
- 50:15[UNKNOWN]: It's not only that you wasted my time with giving me a time limit, you didn't even give me a good match until the time limit draw happens, and that just makes it so much worse.
- 50:31[UNKNOWN]: It's, I don't think it's going to be on my list of like worst matches of the year, but I, this is one of those matches that actually did leave me kind of angry by the end of it,
- 50:46[UNKNOWN]: There was nothing there and then also you did not give me the size of finish.
- 50:51[UNKNOWN]: Like you just gave me nothing, you just actually wasted 15 minutes of my life and that I'm never gonna get back.
- 50:57[UNKNOWN]: And this is the only time I saw this fucking show.
- 51:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the only thing that was not building up another thing on the next show that wasn't the glorified road to house.
- 51:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 51:06[UNKNOWN]: And this is what you deliver.
- 51:07[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, it's just fuck this.
- 51:10[UNKNOWN]: Like I was I was mad.
- 51:12[UNKNOWN]: I was generally mad at this match by the end of it.
- 51:16[UNKNOWN]: Like it's just like no fuck this.
- 51:17[UNKNOWN]: Like like why are you doing this to me?
- 51:20[UNKNOWN]: Like, you know what I, as I'm talking, maybe I'm actually have to push it up on my like worst match of the year list.
- 51:25[UNKNOWN]: Like, it's just, it's just, like, as Morrison talking about the more it makes me mad, but it's just, like, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you really take it, you
- 51:53[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, because the fucking time limit is going to run out in 15 minutes and you're spending half the fucking match fucking around doing bearable shit.
- 52:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like I'm sorry You cannot fucking do that in this exact match type if you want to book the match We're co-gamma fucks around for 10 minutes doing bearable shit.
- 52:10[UNKNOWN]: It cannot be for the high speed I don't know
- 52:12[UNKNOWN]: Hey, it's just, it's just, oh god, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
- 52:27[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the next action is really as I should have put my pollinant syrup.
- 52:30[UNKNOWN]: Let me do that.
- 52:31[UNKNOWN]: I may not be following my Alexa thing, but Dad keeps traveling out of me during these recordings.
- 52:35[UNKNOWN]: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
- 52:55[UNKNOWN]: Um, I like that she can start getting off the DOG and theme together to kind of remind to everybody how we're going to do the teaming up with Susie again here.
- 53:02[UNKNOWN]: Um, I don't think they did enough with that though.
- 53:05[UNKNOWN]: Like Susie kind of talked about it in the post batch.
- 53:07[UNKNOWN]: She did say all this felt nostalgic and, you know, I didn't ask for their help, but I appreciate it anyway.
- 53:12[UNKNOWN]: But like, this woman turned on them.
- 53:15[UNKNOWN]: last year, like they really should have played just up a little more than they did.
- 53:19[UNKNOWN]: They just kind of like, ah, yeah, it's the thing that's happening.
- 53:20[UNKNOWN]: Like they should have played that up more.
- 53:22[UNKNOWN]: Again, I guess it talks to the, the unit system not being respected enough now, but apparently by the way, Azusa had won the vacant JTO Girls title because her sister Tomica had won it back from a ride after Azusa was at a variety show, no one but me in Rob Hart and like
- 53:45[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, he, he, um, so she lost the barribe or I lost her tomahawk a naba at that cork in a july that was that was an awesome match that one did make tape, um, but now tomahawk has a serious neck injury, so she is going to be out for a while, sounds like, so she had to vacate it, which meant of course they put the spell back on Zeus said because as far as JTO is concerned, the enabacisters are the only wrestlers that exist.
- 54:05[UNKNOWN]: So she is now the double champion again, uh, and the NJTO.
- 54:11[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, this match obviously they're building to the tag title match with Saiye and Momo against Miu and Azumi and Momo also, I guess, banged up for the moment and the Nazi Tora challenging Suzu for the red belt is also not being let show.
- 54:27[UNKNOWN]: So this started out with crowd borrowing.
- 54:29[UNKNOWN]: Saiye and Miu I thought had a really fun exchange, just like pounding the chest and stuff back in the ring.
- 54:35[UNKNOWN]: Miu gave her this nice shot and a top rope and this cool little
- 54:42[UNKNOWN]: Um, and then yeah, it's really started going like a mile a minute with dives and just everybody running in and out in, you know, very drag and get style, more drag and get style than most of the drag and get show we're going to talk about to be honest.
- 54:54[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, just, you know, this show guest really needed after the last night is fashion.
- 54:58[UNKNOWN]: So at least this match, you know, it delivered on the on the level of a big sexual and tag made a bet in startup.
- 55:04[UNKNOWN]: So.
- 55:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, very good match, not like life-changing, but like three and three quarters, you know, definitely this and the the undercard sherry tag the only two matches I'd see like are really worth watching the show.
- 55:15[UNKNOWN]: There's a lot of other stuff that's like pretty good to good But these this tag and the sherry tag of the two matches I'd say are like You know, you should go out and watch if you missed this show.
- 55:24[UNKNOWN]: Everything else in the show is very scalable.
- 55:26[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, for the love of God You're not watching them.
- 55:27[UNKNOWN]: I mean, yeah, yeah Like for me same thing with like I have to kind of like
- 55:34[UNKNOWN]: decide if I like this one or the like maybe the low covers is God's eye tag more, I might actually go for like the like two on two tag match a bit more over this, but this was still like a ton of fun, like this was still like a proper main of, okay, was it a proper main event for
- 56:01[UNKNOWN]: Wouldn't it be the great main event for like a sports show?
- 56:04[UNKNOWN]: Yes.
- 56:06[UNKNOWN]: I think that's a fair assessment.
- 56:09[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 56:09[UNKNOWN]: where I'm like, it might have been a little bit on the filming for a Korean show, but for like, if that this is like a show in like, Yokohama, Radiant Hall or whatever.
- 56:19[UNKNOWN]: No, that's a fucking great main event to put on there.
- 56:23[UNKNOWN]: For a Korean, it's probably a little bit disappointing, but it's still like, again, based on just how this show was in general, it was still very enjoyable.
- 56:32[UNKNOWN]: It was still very enjoyable.
- 56:33[UNKNOWN]: I enjoyed it overall.
- 56:36[UNKNOWN]: It's just that,
- 56:38[UNKNOWN]: This show of all was just, I have to say, it was a disappointment for me.
- 56:42[UNKNOWN]: There were two matters on this, this, the Demi DeLoka and the gods I tacked, that was good, and the main event, that was good.
- 56:51[UNKNOWN]: And then everything else was just fine, which I think is probably my criticism of Stardom this years of hard, where it's just like, they absolutely still hit the highs on the big shows.
- 57:09[UNKNOWN]: It's like this level of show, where it's just like, it's fine, I suppose, it's not at the peak level that it was over the last two years.
- 57:23[UNKNOWN]: It's just, I don't know.
- 57:26[UNKNOWN]: It feels like they've kind of,
- 57:31[UNKNOWN]: It feels like they're a little bit content but they know that they're gonna draw anyway and they don't have to put in full effort for these kinds of shows.
- 57:44[UNKNOWN]: Whereas in like the last two years, it's very much felt like, you know,
- 57:48[UNKNOWN]: They were still putting in high effort for these kinds of shows where it's this year.
- 57:53[UNKNOWN]: We can, the weekend corkings especially.
- 57:56[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like the weekday, the weekday ones, they try a little harder still because I think they know it's a little bit more difficult.
- 58:01[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 58:01[UNKNOWN]: To drop people on the weekdays with the weekend ones, you're like, oh yeah, people are going to show up.
- 58:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, exactly.
- 58:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 58:07[UNKNOWN]: High-speed telematch where they don't do anything high-speed, but they don't.
- 58:11[UNKNOWN]: It's more like a low-speed touch.
- 58:13[UNKNOWN]: Like it's more like a low-speed telematch.
- 58:14[UNKNOWN]: Let's be real.
- 58:15[UNKNOWN]: Like it's.
- 58:17[UNKNOWN]: I like you, but she's like, we desperately need somebody else to like, in the, to carry that title to be quite honest.
- 58:29[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the, okay, so what happened in the post match, so Suzu had a little funny for him out where she basically said that Tora willingly hand off her own unit to quote her co-high her junior, uh, and basically made fun of her ever given the unit to Syah.
- 58:46[UNKNOWN]: And then talked about the nostalgic lineup, um,
- 58:51[UNKNOWN]: You know, didn't try to talk about, you know, how they got help sort of against your, they sort of got it through well.
- 58:56[UNKNOWN]: They got that, she got that help.
- 58:58[UNKNOWN]: But then thank them anyway.
- 59:00[UNKNOWN]: Me, you gave a much more generic baby face promo about cyan, momo being tough, but then promised she and her doing we were gonna defend against them anyway.
- 59:08[UNKNOWN]: And then Starley Kade said, she's head to Mexico over the next week, which will apparently be challenging to see him out of warmsman's title.
- 59:15[UNKNOWN]: So I guess, keep your eye on that.
- 59:17[UNKNOWN]: It's actually at the fucking anniversary throw, like the biggest show CML, it's like calendar, which, okay.
- 59:20[UNKNOWN]: The car is like really pissing off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off the CML off
- 59:38[UNKNOWN]: in a big title match on the biggest show on like C-Movals, like calendar with like no build, like that's just not good.
- 59:49[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 59:50[UNKNOWN]: Well, it's going to happen.
- 59:52[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, she also told Susu, you better defend against Tora.
- 59:57[UNKNOWN]: So I guess teasing her own challenge of the for the red belt.
- 1:00:02[UNKNOWN]: So she beat Susu in the semi-finals.
- 1:00:05[UNKNOWN]: Which is kind of what I thought would happen.
- 1:00:07[UNKNOWN]: I thought Susu was a starlight kid.
- 1:00:08[UNKNOWN]: We'll get the next shot.
- 1:00:09[UNKNOWN]: And then maybe rena after that.
- 1:00:12[UNKNOWN]: Well, rena's in tag match as we'll get to in a second on the
- 1:00:19[UNKNOWN]: and a challenge for the IWGP instead, but I don't know if I'd be into that honestly, I guess we'll see.
- 1:00:26[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this is overall really underwhelming cork.
- 1:00:28[UNKNOWN]: And I thought, you know, plenty of good to very good, but nothing you can't find on a standard house show, really.
- 1:00:35[UNKNOWN]: And then some of my main title match just actively fucking sucked, which was a big drag on thing.
- 1:00:39[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, you know, these have a lot of absences.
- 1:00:42[UNKNOWN]: I don't want to act like they didn't, but just not a good, not a great show by starting cork.
- 1:00:46[UNKNOWN]: No, Sam's for sure.
- 1:00:47[UNKNOWN]: For it's better than the other cork I'm going to talk about in their story.
- 1:00:51[UNKNOWN]: But, yeah, some of this might be the best show we were talking about, which is great.
- 1:00:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the challenge I just showed is about the same, but that was actually a real house show.
- 1:01:02[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I thought it was working.
- 1:01:04[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, so, yeah, probably wasn't best show talking about that.
- 1:01:09[UNKNOWN]: It's actually a great show.
- 1:01:10[UNKNOWN]: The more you go to those who will find, I guess.
- 1:01:13[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:01:14[UNKNOWN]: And like the Marigo shows and the Tokyo show were smaller, actual smaller shows.
- 1:01:18[UNKNOWN]: So like the one to actually compare it to is very important and it was way better than the fucking drag game.
- 1:01:23[UNKNOWN]: I mean, to be fair, I mean, it's kind of a release at the beginning where we were like, okay, there's a bunch of like nothing really there and then we're gonna get mad and drag and get a deal.
- 1:01:32[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:01:33[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, there you go.
- 1:01:35[UNKNOWN]: Start.
- 1:01:35[UNKNOWN]: What's coming up for start, of course, is the start of the world.
- 1:01:38[UNKNOWN]: This week, you'll come a good a con September 12th that's come this coming Saturday.
- 1:01:44[UNKNOWN]: We have the full card now.
- 1:01:45[UNKNOWN]: So the opener is sciat, eta, and matria, hamabe versus ladies, c, and kioca katatsu.
- 1:01:52[UNKNOWN]: a three-way trio battle.
- 1:01:53[UNKNOWN]: It is Suryano, teaming up with Rene Amashita and Skario Kee for some reason.
- 1:01:58[UNKNOWN]: A versus Hanako, Waka Suki Yamano, Tamiya Shishita, again another random team and a final actual unit team of hate.
- 1:02:05[UNKNOWN]: Hades like the only actual unit left sometimes.
- 1:02:08[UNKNOWN]: Konami Raka and Fuki again.
- 1:02:11[UNKNOWN]: Six women tag the only the unofficial unit that I get also feels like the only unit sometimes Market Eto kick your first sour and re-on They take on Hazuki Koguma and through her channel, but I guess they're kind of like an unofficial official unit, too Yeah, that's the other thing like yeah, the the most coherent units are like the hill unit and then two unofficial units Yeah, and God's I kind of although they they finally did that Probably split these with them up on this show
- 1:02:39[UNKNOWN]: Special singles match on a kind of yeah versus be previously.
- 1:02:43[UNKNOWN]: I assume B's gonna squash her, but it should be interesting I guess the tag match I just alluded to sure and he never says read out news as you say nava that could actually be quite good if it gets any time so.
- 1:02:57[UNKNOWN]: Always good seeing Hina and Rina go at it.
- 1:02:59[UNKNOWN]: So we'll see how that goes.
- 1:03:01[UNKNOWN]: And then you got all your title matches starting out the future of star and title.
- 1:03:05[UNKNOWN]: Rana Yaga me defending against a cure occur of Ghana.
- 1:03:08[UNKNOWN]: I still don't see title change here.
- 1:03:09[UNKNOWN]: I get they might have been trying to throw you off the scent by having a rider penner and the tag.
- 1:03:13[UNKNOWN]: I just don't it just seems like too big of a step up to I care to be there for me.
- 1:03:18[UNKNOWN]: Are you see a title change?
- 1:03:21[UNKNOWN]: Not really.
- 1:03:27[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I feel like the round of stars weren't yours.
- 1:03:29[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:03:30[UNKNOWN]: So like it just doesn't feel right the right time to do that yet.
- 1:03:35[UNKNOWN]: A title change I sure as hope, I sure as fuck hope does happen.
- 1:03:38[UNKNOWN]: The R is the star of titles, Thecla, Julia Hart and Sky Blue, defend against the Cosmic Carnival.
- 1:03:45[UNKNOWN]: I a soccer, not too poor and unemisive morey.
- 1:03:48[UNKNOWN]: Much as it would suck to get another double champion situation where you know my one had to defend both these titles, which kills the fucking artist bill every time.
- 1:03:55[UNKNOWN]: It feels like when that happens.
- 1:03:57[UNKNOWN]: Please get these fucking titles off this fucking... Yeah, I mean, it's like they're probably gonna go back to like the states, right?
- 1:04:04[UNKNOWN]: Like I feel like it feels like a very safe bed to be honest.
- 1:04:08[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:04:12[UNKNOWN]: Then we have the Goss starting title match, Azumi and Mew versus Mowlaternabe inside a kamitani.
- 1:04:19[UNKNOWN]: This feels close to a lock to me with uh,
- 1:04:26[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:04:27[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah.
- 1:04:27[UNKNOWN]: No, absolutely.
- 1:04:29[UNKNOWN]: Which kind of sucks as I feel like is your only line did not get the rainy deserved, but I just don't see them not doing the telechange.
- 1:04:35[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, you kind of have to.
- 1:04:39[UNKNOWN]: Semi-main, white belt title, Wonder Star had the on defending against Ami Soray.
- 1:04:45[UNKNOWN]: This is the one where I most like, I could see Ami wedding, because they're giving her a second title shot in the same year, which they don't do that a whole lot unless they're actually changing it.
- 1:04:54[UNKNOWN]: But it's against a different person on the first time, so yeah, it's just gonna lose again, I don't know.
- 1:04:59[UNKNOWN]: I would give her like a 30 to 35% chance of wedding.
- 1:05:02[UNKNOWN]: I think she has decent shot.
- 1:05:04[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, especially if you want to take over that, we'll take over that award.
- 1:05:06[UNKNOWN]: They, our students from the five star, that would be think that's what they're going with that.
- 1:05:11[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I kind of had to read like no chance of winning, but
- 1:05:19[UNKNOWN]: Those are very compelling arguments that I had really considered to be honest.
- 1:05:25[UNKNOWN]: I was like, yeah, no, it is, as I can challenge in this year.
- 1:05:30[UNKNOWN]: As she did with, yeah, yeah, actually I might actually go higher than your chance, even I might actually put this out of the, honestly.
- 1:05:40[UNKNOWN]: I feel like a decent chance.
- 1:05:41[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, because there's too much effort that they've invested into her for her to just lose there.
- 1:05:48[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the only thing that keeps you from going higher is it feels early for a nine to lose it because you just want it in April and it felt like it could've built up that forever.
- 1:05:56[UNKNOWN]: But maybe they just sit kind of on the better challenge of in champion.
- 1:05:59[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:06:00[UNKNOWN]: I guess we'll say, the one time after I don't think there's any chance for a title change is Susu versus Torra for the Red Belt and the main event.
- 1:06:07[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know.
- 1:06:08[UNKNOWN]: I shouldn't, you never know I guess, but I'd be pretty shocked if they changed those.
- 1:06:14[UNKNOWN]: No, that feels like one of those,
- 1:06:19[UNKNOWN]: Okay, maybe don't bet like house on it, but it's kind of close to betting the house on that really.
- 1:06:27[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it'd be a pretty big shock.
- 1:06:29[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:06:31[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so you know, it's a good little card.
- 1:06:32[UNKNOWN]: It's not like any kind of outstanding card, but like, you know, this is not the biggest show anyway.
- 1:06:37[UNKNOWN]: So I kind of, you know, it's kind of like, here's a, here's a show to make some money after the five stars.
- 1:06:41[UNKNOWN]: Where the show feels like, I mean, like,
- 1:06:47[UNKNOWN]: It's not the worst major show that we're going to be talking about.
- 1:06:52[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, there's actually a few matches on this show.
- 1:06:55[UNKNOWN]: I'm excited to say so let me look at how the seats are going.
- 1:06:59[UNKNOWN]: I'm curious about this for sure right away on the website front row arena asked arena a front front row third floor, woman only a b and family c are totally sold out.
- 1:07:11[UNKNOWN]: And Lawson, Lawson also has regular arena a sold out, arena b, few left, the stand seats, few left.
- 1:07:19[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, this is taking sales up and doing good.
- 1:07:22[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, we'll see what the actual number is, um, I don't know what they did last year for this, say.
- 1:07:33[UNKNOWN]: because I think that would be like the goal, right?
- 1:07:34[UNKNOWN]: Obviously, it's to be up year over year.
- 1:07:37[UNKNOWN]: So last year to show, which was in the same building starting to the world, it did 1,814.
- 1:07:41[UNKNOWN]: That I feel like they can beat that.
- 1:07:45[UNKNOWN]: Maybe do 2k.
- 1:07:47[UNKNOWN]: Based on those, that was what that lost in page said.
- 1:07:49[UNKNOWN]: 2k seems to have wanted me.
- 1:07:53[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, absolutely.
- 1:07:55[UNKNOWN]: Like, especially with a card that is,
- 1:07:58[UNKNOWN]: Okay, yeah, yeah, pretty pretty decent card for B show.
- 1:08:02[UNKNOWN]: I guess for B level big show.
- 1:08:04[UNKNOWN]: Okay, there's your start of the week.
- 1:08:05[UNKNOWN]: All right, let's go to Tokyo, Jericho.
- 1:08:08[UNKNOWN]: They had their show from this past Saturday as well, actually September 5th, Yoko Hama Radiant Hall, a 251 complete sellout.
- 1:08:19[UNKNOWN]: uh... in your gallery at all uh... at the open of the show we at the announced a collaboration with choshi electric railway have you ever heard choshi electric railway pole no i don't i can't say i have
- 1:08:36[UNKNOWN]: So I've heard of this because it's kind of famous among rail nerds and, you know, at least rail nerd Japanese rail nerd Jason, you know, it's like a it's a four mile life on the shortest rail lines in all Japan it runs in cheaper prefecture and it's big they're basically fans for doing shit like this like all sorts of wacky collaborations and
- 1:08:55[UNKNOWN]: Big sales, anything you can think of to try to keep this tiny, foth and morale line that basically makes no money alive.
- 1:09:01[UNKNOWN]: Because it's a tiny, private railway that does not really get any government assistance when I understand, because they go out of the, they go out of their way to try to keep this line alive.
- 1:09:11[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, so our special train on Monday, October, 12, or just sports day, a real holiday people get off for Japan will feature a rocker, of course, and she knows Suzuki, the tour guide as guest conductors making train announcements.
- 1:09:28[UNKNOWN]: So there you go.
- 1:09:29[UNKNOWN]: If you want to go ride a train with the train nerd rocker and the tour guide, you're in
- 1:09:40[UNKNOWN]: See, I still rather get on the train from Nagano to that like hot springs resort that I stayed in, like not this past trip, but the trip I did two years ago Where like okay, it wasn't the one that I went off to like go to that hot springs resort, but basically they have like a special train
- 1:10:03[UNKNOWN]: where like, it's like a train where you can get like unlimited wine on the train right?
- 1:10:11[UNKNOWN]: Oh yeah.
- 1:10:13[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, why do they think like boozy trains are exactly, yeah, I'd rather get on that instead of this one.
- 1:10:19[UNKNOWN]: You don't want to hear Rocker and Cheyenne give announcements?
- 1:10:23[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I can just, you know, put them to show what they're on and just, you know.
- 1:10:31[UNKNOWN]: Uh, while I drink free wine while I'm like driving up the mountain.
- 1:10:36[UNKNOWN]: That's true.
- 1:10:37[UNKNOWN]: I mean, the train I did, um, into, uh, what's it called?
- 1:10:42[UNKNOWN]: The, the answer I went to on this trip was, and it was like from Nagoya, I can't remember the name of them, or the answer over there.
- 1:10:50[UNKNOWN]: What the fuck was the name of that?
- 1:10:52[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I was up in, I think a geafood prefecture, but it went like through these.
- 1:10:56[UNKNOWN]: It's considered like one of the most scenic railways in all of Japan apparently because you go up to the mountain and you like fall this river along it.
- 1:11:02[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
- 1:11:18[UNKNOWN]: Kind of like that one that I did, like the one that I took when I got to, like, Eto Peninsula.
- 1:11:25[UNKNOWN]: Right, right, right, yeah.
- 1:11:27[UNKNOWN]: That's kind of the same thing, yeah, kind of the same idea, yeah.
- 1:11:32[UNKNOWN]: The opener of the show, I then led to the end of the up-up girl performing sugar high, by the way, so.
- 1:11:39[UNKNOWN]: opener on the main show was Palm Harajuku defeating Shionkanzaki in six minutes and 45 seconds with the Palm Digestus.
- 1:11:49[UNKNOWN]: Palm did her own Palm Chan Gumbara version of Shionk's call as three ones on the highlight of this match, which was very funny.
- 1:11:55[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, pretty basic Palm, comedy opener stuff though, two and a half stars, you know.
- 1:12:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, basically, to be quite frank, I have nothing else to say in this match two, a three-way match.
- 1:12:08[UNKNOWN]: Hyper-Mesau pinned a ring Konatsu in 11 minutes and seven seconds with the Logistraau.
- 1:12:12[UNKNOWN]: This match also involves chicken and assay.
- 1:12:15[UNKNOWN]: Also, not much to say about this one, pretty typical to go joystick three way stuff again.
- 1:12:20[UNKNOWN]: And we saw that the pin on the run with your cross body leading up to the Logistraau, I guess.
- 1:12:24[UNKNOWN]: It was okay two and three quarters.
- 1:12:27[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:12:30[UNKNOWN]: as much as you can say that this very much felt like hypermissower also like kind of like it's weird to say that hypermissower is like the like veteran carrying people from matches now but it's very much what this much like felt like essentially
- 1:12:49[UNKNOWN]: Mesh 3, another very typical undercard match here.
- 1:12:53[UNKNOWN]: It was a Mizuki and it would have to call me beating Shokunaka Jima and Momo Sato.
- 1:12:58[UNKNOWN]: Mizuki Pinobo and nine minutes and 44 seconds with the Southern Cross.
- 1:13:02[UNKNOWN]: It's just really not much a note here.
- 1:13:03[UNKNOWN]: You'd be like two and three quarters again.
- 1:13:05[UNKNOWN]: The match that I actually the reason why I kick the show to review by the way if you don't know is because there was we're supposed to have one more Marigold show, but it did not come out in time under VOD Yeah, they push it to the next episode and then I was like, oh, well, the three-way tag is for a double contender slot that actually is important But these under guard matches not important all.
- 1:13:21[UNKNOWN]: No, no Very household like flare a lot of this
- 1:13:29[UNKNOWN]: Match 4, Yuki Kami Fuku, Raku, and 843 of the Famous Earth.
- 1:13:34[UNKNOWN]: So, Raku seemed to trick Kami U by telling her she had a president or something, I guess for our upcoming retirement, in a bag.
- 1:13:41[UNKNOWN]: But when Kami U stuck her head in, it was empty, so then Raku just tried to roll her up instead.
- 1:13:47[UNKNOWN]: uh... but how do you uh... excuse me well could at least come on so fast could my son that was a that was a strong sneeze and i thought i was using on the everybody uh... coming you know came back and i spoke i guess they were now even
- 1:14:04[UNKNOWN]: Um, then we got common use version of the, oh, you asked me to express what she just tries to step on you at the end instead of falling asleep on you.
- 1:14:12[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 1:14:13[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Rocky was able to obey that.
- 1:14:15[UNKNOWN]: Uh, that might be someone's version of a good night to be there.
- 1:14:19[UNKNOWN]: Getting stepped on by coming you.
- 1:14:21[UNKNOWN]: Later on, we find out Rocco actually did have a gift for her.
- 1:14:25[UNKNOWN]: It was like a yellow sleeping road, like a pajama road with some sort.
- 1:14:29[UNKNOWN]: She got it on to come to you and it did make her start to feel sleepy, so it worked.
- 1:14:33[UNKNOWN]: Then they ended up on the floor and Rocco dragged her out of the aisle.
- 1:14:37[UNKNOWN]: Put the pillow under her head.
- 1:14:38[UNKNOWN]: Went back at the ring and tried to take a cam out when the ref also counted very quietly.
- 1:14:42[UNKNOWN]: The ref fans are all being very considerate, but that fucking ring announcer blew the spot.
- 1:14:48[UNKNOWN]: Did a normal loud call of 10.
- 1:14:50[UNKNOWN]: Just woke up woke up County when they reached 10.
- 1:14:54[UNKNOWN]: That was pretty funny.
- 1:14:55[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, camera you're one shortly after that with the famous sir.
- 1:14:58[UNKNOWN]: I went three stars in this, I thought I was fine and pretty funny for a comedy match.
- 1:15:02[UNKNOWN]: I usually really don't have much use for rocker, but comedy was so charming that you know, I think can make anything good.
- 1:15:08[UNKNOWN]: Any undercard comedy match funny.
- 1:15:10[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, it's on the show that to be quite honest, didn't really have much of note on it.
- 1:15:17[UNKNOWN]: This was definitely one of the highlights, but it's just like,
- 1:15:22[UNKNOWN]: Before that it was a lot of Manchester but just kind of there and that existed in the vacuum and at least in this one There was like and said reflect all of the common spots in everything.
- 1:15:32[UNKNOWN]: It was like something for me to like Get invested in essentially like something that didn't just feel like A thing that just existed in a vacuum reflect no consequences to it
- 1:15:46[UNKNOWN]: is so it was something at least like not something I would ever consider for my like matter of the yearless or anything like that.
- 1:15:54[UNKNOWN]: But at the very least I was like I enjoyed myself watching this and you know it didn't obviously it's welcome either at like 8 minutes.
- 1:16:04[UNKNOWN]: I'll Paul.
- 1:16:05[UNKNOWN]: You're just like ruling out all the match of your favorites this year for yourself.
- 1:16:07[UNKNOWN]: First, I'll spray on Omega and now Rock University's coming in.
- 1:16:11[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 1:16:12[UNKNOWN]: Like exactly on the same level.
- 1:16:13[UNKNOWN]: Yes, no, these two matters are exactly on the same level.
- 1:16:19[UNKNOWN]: Uh, next up, the top three of the show I like though, quite a bit, so I would recommend all three of these to some degree and start it out with me or what to not be in rickety sue me, beating Kira, Summer, and Mars in 1045, uh, reek up painting Mars with the after the daily return of the double team.
- 1:16:33[UNKNOWN]: So obviously, these are your tag champions, uh, for instance, tag champions taking on the Australian team, uh, of Kira Summer, who's a regular here, and Mars, who's a regular in ice cream.
- 1:16:43[UNKNOWN]: So she's appeared there pretty regulations 2024, and this is her Tokyo Yoshi debut, apparently a one-off thing according to this leader due on discord, he's usually really plugged in.
- 1:16:56[UNKNOWN]: He was going to answer you when I asked, so shout it to leader.
- 1:17:00[UNKNOWN]: Um, this match, big step up from anything else in the show at this point, just plenty of good action here.
- 1:17:05[UNKNOWN]: Uh, week I went to work on here as a leg with your usual brand of adorable, uh, sadism, but then kind of went straight over her going for a hip attack.
- 1:17:16[UNKNOWN]: Actually, newly sailed over the pop rope out of the right in the process.
- 1:17:18[UNKNOWN]: That looked dangerous.
- 1:17:19[UNKNOWN]: but did not quite go over the top row.
- 1:17:21[UNKNOWN]: And that like Kira Slammer and take out the Mars.
- 1:17:25[UNKNOWN]: Mars got some off-hand sand, but then she fell prey to the double team, twisting bomb, that D.J.
- 1:17:30[UNKNOWN]: does, and Rika was able to pet her.
- 1:17:32[UNKNOWN]: Three and a half stars enjoyed this one.
- 1:17:34[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
- 1:17:35[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, definitely very enjoyable.
- 1:17:37[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, maybe do one knock I have on this a little bit, but I'm like,
- 1:17:47[UNKNOWN]: And sometimes when you have a non-title match for your tech champions, you might want the other team to look a little bit more competitive, because then you at least have a somewhat reasonable excuse to do this as a title match eventually, and it felt very different.
- 1:18:12[UNKNOWN]: On the one hand, like the benefit of that is obviously you take your champions and you
- 1:18:18[UNKNOWN]: Which is also good, right?
- 1:18:19[UNKNOWN]: Like if you wanna, if it's an on-title mat, do you want like a tag, champions to look strong?
- 1:18:25[UNKNOWN]: On the other hand, it might be a little bit of a waste at opportunity where it's like, if you've made this a little bit more competitive, you could have actually reasonably run this back at the title match, but on the other hand, at least you've established your chapitans, that's like strong champions.
- 1:18:42[UNKNOWN]: So, like I said,
- 1:18:47[UNKNOWN]: It's complaining at a high level, which is always a good place to be in, but you know, you could have maybe done a slightly different, but it's not like something where I'm going to ding you for too badly because you still did the right thing, it's just that you had a different correct choice as well.
- 1:19:09[UNKNOWN]: So yeah.
- 1:19:11[UNKNOWN]: The semi-man event, this was the thing I really wanted to see on the show and it did roll.
- 1:19:16[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, from that respect, this show delivered.
- 1:19:19[UNKNOWN]: Three-way tag for the next challenge, for the Princess tag titles, Yuki Aino and Harakawa Shiro, with the winners.
- 1:19:27[UNKNOWN]: It was Harakawa Shiro pinning Himoari, who was coming up with Toga in 1313, with the Updraft Overdrive, and the other team involved was Muiriyamaashita and Sakura Hitori.
- 1:19:41[UNKNOWN]: So Himoari used her braids to simultaneously choke Yuki and Mew at the same time, I was kind of funny looking, but they're going out a bit of a whipping rampage with them.
- 1:20:01[UNKNOWN]: and then there was just lots of really neat double-teaming from all three teams in this match.
- 1:20:05[UNKNOWN]: Just one of those matches where there's so much going on, it's like more than like a possible recap, but also keep on the way up once.
- 1:20:10[UNKNOWN]: But somehow they're all really good, they're all managed to be in position for everything.
- 1:20:14[UNKNOWN]: It was that they no touch tag was a loot tag world.
- 1:20:17[UNKNOWN]: So everybody's just coming in and out in and out.
- 1:20:20[UNKNOWN]: Atory, especially just constantly flipping into things, which is kind of funny, but also, you know, you know, that's not like a court.
- 1:20:26[UNKNOWN]: Anyway, just like, okay, it comes in ninja to flipping another room, kind of like, it was kind of, you know, it was entertaining.
- 1:20:33[UNKNOWN]: Unfortunately, for her, she took so long doing her ninja seals, whatever, that she got cut off by Ukiyano, even while...
- 1:20:40[UNKNOWN]: You know, VU was holding Harrow for her, and then you kind of did a neat little seated centon off the second rope to the floor, and then Harrow got, you know, Harrow pinning hemorrhars a big pin for her, because she's only been wrestling like two years at this point and hemorrhars are senior.
- 1:20:55[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I was after she and Yuki did a double team and virtually ETA to give their team the one in the title shot.
- 1:21:00[UNKNOWN]: I thought this ruled this was four stars better than anything on the starting core again, just a really awesome match.
- 1:21:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:21:08[UNKNOWN]: like, to be quite frank, until this match, I was like, okay, why did John want to, like, what, why did John put the show on the schedule?
- 1:21:21[UNKNOWN]: Basically, it was my thing where I was just like,
- 1:21:24[UNKNOWN]: Ooh, there's just kind of not a lot here.
- 1:21:27[UNKNOWN]: And then we got to this match, and I was like, oh, that's why, that's why this show is on the skin shell, basically, and yeah, no, this was awesome.
- 1:21:38[UNKNOWN]: I gubly, the best match on like any of the shows that we watched for the show to be honest.
- 1:21:48[UNKNOWN]: A, I might have to think about some of the green star like my thing.
- 1:21:51[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I definitely don't have any green star matches at this rating.
- 1:21:54[UNKNOWN]: I don't think I have anything to try and get either.
- 1:21:56[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think this is the best thing I've ever watched.
- 1:21:58[UNKNOWN]: No, this is fucking awesome.
- 1:22:00[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, no, like this was absolutely worth just watching.
- 1:22:04[UNKNOWN]: Like, well, again, this and the main event of the start-up show was like watching the women again out-dragging game.
- 1:22:11[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:22:12[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah.
- 1:22:13[UNKNOWN]: Exactly.
- 1:22:13[UNKNOWN]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
- 1:22:29[UNKNOWN]: No, and this was awesome.
- 1:22:29[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:22:30[UNKNOWN]: Like, well, it's just like non-stop action.
- 1:22:32[UNKNOWN]: Go, go, go, go, go, go.
- 1:22:35[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, no, this was, this was fucking great.
- 1:22:38[UNKNOWN]: I love this one.
- 1:22:40[UNKNOWN]: If you want to, if you have, if you want to watch anything from the shows that we're talking about, go watch this much.
- 1:22:46[UNKNOWN]: This is fucking great.
- 1:22:47[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:22:49[UNKNOWN]: No, just a great way to establish like your like challenges for like your, um,
- 1:22:55[UNKNOWN]: Taken titles and everything just well worth it and just continuous kind of like Tokyo Jo's trees like rice as well.
- 1:23:03[UNKNOWN]: It's like I think it's very fair to say that add a number two like Joshy promotion now.
- 1:23:09[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, I think it's I know that this is a beautiful at this point
- 1:23:12[UNKNOWN]: Well, Sennet goes as an argument, I will say, but it's been so hard to tell with them because they never released numbers.
- 1:23:18[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:23:20[UNKNOWN]: So we have actual numbers of Togajoshi, we can compare and step in.
- 1:23:23[UNKNOWN]: Obviously, Togajoshi blown Mary going out of the water.
- 1:23:25[UNKNOWN]: It comes to attendance this year.
- 1:23:26[UNKNOWN]: Mary going has a bigger overall attendance because they run more shows.
- 1:23:30[UNKNOWN]: But if you break it down as per show, Togajoshi's had, and Togajoshi's also, like, had the cork and average, like, I just had this could just did this the other day.
- 1:23:40[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the end of August, Tokyo Joshis, Korkin, Average is 1100, 1100 fans and six shows and more goals is 795 and 9 shows.
- 1:23:52[UNKNOWN]: So it's like that in close.
- 1:23:55[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, just way, way, way higher overall average attendance, plus an older ward, I would bet to a geogybeats, Marigles numbers are older ward.
- 1:24:03[UNKNOWN]: And they've already won three shows there.
- 1:24:05[UNKNOWN]: The top one they did, they announced 1,012, and I should also say I don't, I don't only buy Marigled numbers, much like Draingate numbers.
- 1:24:12[UNKNOWN]: And the other two, they announced 1,0310 and 1,023.
- 1:24:16[UNKNOWN]: When I looked at Russell Princess ticket sales on Lawson ticket, which is, that's, we're still almost a month away.
- 1:24:24[UNKNOWN]: the ticket sales look good.
- 1:24:25[UNKNOWN]: I mean, every single section is listed a few left.
- 1:24:29[UNKNOWN]: So Arena A, Arena B, San S, San A, San B and Lady C is all listed with the triangle.
- 1:24:34[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's probably that's gonna sell out.
- 1:24:36[UNKNOWN]: Like not maybe in an old category, but like at least the like most of the banks and funds are like.
- 1:24:41[UNKNOWN]: And that does include VIP supersedes Arena after already, but sold out in the pre-sale.
- 1:24:47[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they even make it.
- 1:24:48[UNKNOWN]: to to the actual sale.
- 1:24:50[UNKNOWN]: So like all the ring side seats like the first two rows are gone already.
- 1:24:53[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I mean, they're going to beat them are equal numbers.
- 1:24:56[UNKNOWN]: And really, and they're probably going to be their own numbers too.
- 1:24:58[UNKNOWN]: It's last year.
- 1:25:00[UNKNOWN]: You know, they did not even do, I don't think David did that well.
- 1:25:03[UNKNOWN]: That, oh, let me think, I have this here too somewhere.
- 1:25:15[UNKNOWN]: Yes.
- 1:25:16[UNKNOWN]: So last year, the top Tokyo Jojo show was summer summer, since that's only 1,084.
- 1:25:21[UNKNOWN]: And Russell, Friends, is actually the least attended show was 1,127.
- 1:25:24[UNKNOWN]: I think they're going to be both those numbers very easily.
- 1:25:27[UNKNOWN]: So I'd be surprised, and do like it somewhere that depends on what they set up for a tale.
- 1:25:32[UNKNOWN]: But I think it will be somewhere in the 2000s, maybe like 3,000.
- 1:25:35[UNKNOWN]: So we'll say, I guess, but like, yeah, I just based on what the ticket sales look like and how often they've been, I think they're going to do somewhere in the 2000s for sure, I think.
- 1:25:43[UNKNOWN]: I'd be pretty shocked.
- 1:25:45[UNKNOWN]: Like that show is going to draw well.
- 1:25:48[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:25:49[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the main event was a height match for that show made event.
- 1:25:53[UNKNOWN]: Uh, it was the team of Susureme.
- 1:25:56[UNKNOWN]: I'll just sendo.
- 1:25:57[UNKNOWN]: And she knows Suzuki is defeating the team of Princess Princess Champion Yuki Rai, O'Connor Ray Harra, and Miyo Ashida.
- 1:26:05[UNKNOWN]: Uh, it was Susureme beating Miyo Ashida and uh, sorry.
- 1:26:10[UNKNOWN]: Miyo Ashida.
- 1:26:11[UNKNOWN]: They put me, they put Miyo on this fucking thing.
- 1:26:14[UNKNOWN]: Susan may be being me through Ashida in 13th and 49 seconds with the ring of Elle, she know just got her tour sign back and that gastroenterial leader me through a mealy broker to get broken again with her pom-pom attack, how dare she.
- 1:26:30[UNKNOWN]: Like I'm outraged on your behalf, she know, that's not nice.
- 1:26:34[UNKNOWN]: I love the big U.K. versus Tuesday may show down here.
- 1:26:37[UNKNOWN]: Ukiyurai, she looks like it's fucking on to the giant in there again, Susan May.
- 1:26:40[UNKNOWN]: I mean, just such a huge size of anage.
- 1:26:43[UNKNOWN]: So, it makes even more impressive when Ukiyurai finally knock or when Susan May finally knocks, Ukiy down with the dropkick.
- 1:26:49[UNKNOWN]: You know, that's a good side for their eventual title match where, you know, sure, Susan May was going to really play up being the underdog.
- 1:26:56[UNKNOWN]: See, eventually, dig at the pin on me for the ring of bell.
- 1:26:58[UNKNOWN]: A good main, nothing you should run out and watch immediately or anything, but, you know, a three and a half star bash, enjoyable for sure.
- 1:27:05[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, overall, like, kind of a one-match show for a recommendation standpoint, but definitely, you know, the last three matches you can really watch and you'll have a good time.
- 1:27:14[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 1:27:15[UNKNOWN]: uh i think Paul might have had to step away for a second uh okay yeah so i'm gonna stall for time while i wait for Paul to come back what else can i say about this main event to continue stalling for time uh i don't have very many notes for this main event is the problem but yeah um you know it was a good show overall which is not like any kind of great show um but definitely want again
- 1:27:44[UNKNOWN]: was definitely worth watching and a big recommendation.
- 1:27:47[UNKNOWN]: I'm just going to move on and talk about the cards and Paul can give us thoughts on the main when he gets back.
- 1:27:51[UNKNOWN]: Because I don't know how anything else to say about the main event of this show.
- 1:27:54[UNKNOWN]: The next Tokyo Jersey show coming up is this Saturday, September 12th, approaching Kiba first ring.
- 1:28:00[UNKNOWN]: We've got more hype matches here, especially for, for our first-hand match for the tag title match, which is Yugi Ido, Harukazu Shiro, and Renko Natsu, against Byo Watanabe, Rikata Tsumi and Toga,
- 1:28:12[UNKNOWN]: a height match for the prince of the princess head on match, which is Yuki Rai, Miyu Yamashita and Sakura and Tori against Sujimei, Alice and Dao and Pira Summer.
- 1:28:22[UNKNOWN]: Not really anything awesome to know on this show, but those, you know, the next two height matches I guess for the for the big show.
- 1:28:29[UNKNOWN]: Okay, I think he's back now, Paul.
- 1:28:31[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, go ahead and tell us, you just have he talks for the minute man, I can't, I've ran out of things to say about the minute man.
- 1:28:36[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, man, if I can, I don't know to start when I came back.
- 1:28:39[UNKNOWN]: It's like, oh, yeah, no, it's just previewing the next one.
- 1:28:44[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, the minute man was fine.
- 1:28:46[UNKNOWN]: It was not as good as the semi-main to be quantonist.
- 1:28:50[UNKNOWN]: It was still like, perfectly acceptable.
- 1:28:53[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's not like this was like a picture or anything like that.
- 1:28:57[UNKNOWN]: It was still like Yoko Hama Radiant to Hall, so I know all of that, but I thought like basically all like sex woman like kind of like put in good effort and everything and yeah, that's really my main foreigner.
- 1:29:15[UNKNOWN]: It's not like it was like a big match for me to like sick my teeth into anything like that.
- 1:29:21[UNKNOWN]: But it was still like enjoyable for what it was.
- 1:29:24[UNKNOWN]: It was just coming off of the semi-main.
- 1:29:26[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, why was this the main event?
- 1:29:30[UNKNOWN]: Basically, it's like, that maybe was a bit of a personal thing.
- 1:29:34[UNKNOWN]: It's like, why was that?
- 1:29:35[UNKNOWN]: Why was this the match or whatever?
- 1:29:37[UNKNOWN]: It's like, you could have just made this the main event.
- 1:29:40[UNKNOWN]: Like, that the number one could have actually matched the main event.
- 1:29:44[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, definitely.
- 1:29:47[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the hypermissile produced shell hype for, uh, that is coming up next week Tuesday, September 15th because out town hall there's no no announced announced for as far as I know.
- 1:29:58[UNKNOWN]: Um, but the the hype seats are already sold out.
- 1:30:02[UNKNOWN]: So if you want to get a picture, a smartphone photo opportunity with hypermissile after the match, unfortunately, you're too late.
- 1:30:09[UNKNOWN]: uh... restful princess seven of course is next month october third from on a war jam uh... we have now you get a r i versus you to me for the princess princess title uh... you can go in for v five uh... recative sue me and you want to not a versus the challenges of uh... you can't you know and how to share out going for the v three i don't i want to think so to have a chance i don't think he's gonna want to
- 1:30:40[UNKNOWN]: Um, the tag title match.
- 1:30:41[UNKNOWN]: I, I, again, I could see you here.
- 1:30:44[UNKNOWN]: I know in, uh, however, winning, but I, I sort of think we could meet or got retained.
- 1:30:50[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, because they've also been like, like it's like I was just talking about.
- 1:30:53[UNKNOWN]: Related, they've been to present it as like such strong champions.
- 1:30:57[UNKNOWN]: Like I don't think this really like a reason to take it off them yet.
- 1:31:02[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like you just kind of want to like keep going with them as champions and yeah, like I don't think it makes sense yet.
- 1:31:11[UNKNOWN]: Now, the only other matches we have so far all X matches, so there's people we don't know.
- 1:31:15[UNKNOWN]: So Shoko Nakajima won the the the silent the Thailand belt that's been involved until they're just where they set up all Asia one title, she's going to defend against a challenger to be selected apparently that's all we know so far.
- 1:31:28[UNKNOWN]: Um, we also know you can come to Fuku and Vaney are going to have their final match to team together, winning up to a course comma use, uh, retiring on December 26th, so they're going to face another 2B announced team, and then we have a 3-way tag, uh, Rock U and X versus Palm Harajuku and X versus Mario Kiryu and X.
- 1:31:46[UNKNOWN]: So, you don't know who any of us people are.
- 1:31:49[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I can just go find out.
- 1:31:51[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, uh, they got there's your Russell Princess 7 card so far.
- 1:31:55[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 1:31:58[UNKNOWN]: All right, let's go over to Marigold, wrap up the Joshy here with two more shows and the Dream Star Grand Prix.
- 1:32:05[UNKNOWN]: So...
- 1:32:06[UNKNOWN]: The schedule has been pretty wonky, as I mentioned.
- 1:32:10[UNKNOWN]: These two shows happen Saturday, but they're both VOD.
- 1:32:13[UNKNOWN]: So they did not go up until earlier today on Monday, the 7th.
- 1:32:17[UNKNOWN]: We could not watch the Sunday show from season OK yet, because it goes up tomorrow as I'm recording this on the 8th.
- 1:32:22[UNKNOWN]: So I will cover that on next week's episode.
- 1:32:24[UNKNOWN]: I'm the solo episode I'm doing.
- 1:32:26[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I just kind of annoying with these fucking shows.
- 1:32:28[UNKNOWN]: I wish they released get them up faster if they're going to, because for a tournament, especially it's really annoying to be like, oh, I have to wait to watch the next show.
- 1:32:37[UNKNOWN]: Um...
- 1:32:38[UNKNOWN]: The, there was one torn match of supposed to take place with now is Chicago versus my irritantary in block C. I believe that just blocked the list.
- 1:32:48[UNKNOWN]: Block B.
- 1:32:49[UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
- 1:32:50[UNKNOWN]: Did not take place.
- 1:32:51[UNKNOWN]: I don't even think they gave a reason.
- 1:32:53[UNKNOWN]: Okay, looked in the Twitter.
- 1:32:54[UNKNOWN]: I didn't see anything.
- 1:32:55[UNKNOWN]: And they did not say she's like, they just said now is a comment.
- 1:32:58[UNKNOWN]: Miss today's show.
- 1:32:59[UNKNOWN]: I think it's always that they didn't.
- 1:33:00[UNKNOWN]: They didn't say she was forefitting all her meeting matches or anything.
- 1:33:03[UNKNOWN]: They just, so I don't, as far as I know, someone can correct
- 1:33:07[UNKNOWN]: now is still in the tournament.
- 1:33:08[UNKNOWN]: They definitely want to look at the points.
- 1:33:09[UNKNOWN]: They did not have a list of like, oh, that you forper the rest of our matches.
- 1:33:12[UNKNOWN]: So I guess we'll find out whenever next match is, but yeah, I don't know.
- 1:33:16[UNKNOWN]: I've been trying to win this match too.
- 1:33:18[UNKNOWN]: I've been trying to avoid spoilers on the shows that, you know, on the Sunday show.
- 1:33:22[UNKNOWN]: So I didn't go surfing that hard for it.
- 1:33:24[UNKNOWN]: So maybe maybe somebody did say it somewhere.
- 1:33:26[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I didn't want, when I looked at the Twitter part on today, on the show, some Saturday and then see anything.
- 1:33:31[UNKNOWN]: So.
- 1:33:33[UNKNOWN]: Block D, it was, there's their first tournament to the show, was Nagitotachi Bana, beating Megaton in 545, which dropped Megaton down to 0 and 3, where she belongs, and touch it on the one and one.
- 1:33:48[UNKNOWN]: You would think of 5 minute and 45 second match couldn't be that bad, and you'd be fucking wrong.
- 1:33:52[UNKNOWN]: This match was horrendous.
- 1:33:55[UNKNOWN]: It started with a bunch of arm ringers for what felt like hours, including some alleged comedy, putting air quotes with my fingers and nobody can say, of Megaton being an able to do a kip-up.
- 1:34:09[UNKNOWN]: And then Megaton rolling her body back and forth slowly on top of Nagi Santaji Bana, I guess was also supposed to be funny somehow.
- 1:34:16[UNKNOWN]: I don't know how.
- 1:34:18[UNKNOWN]: Kachibana just starts dropping him repeatedly, which did at least offer a grief, a grief from the alleged comedy.
- 1:34:25[UNKNOWN]: And once again, I was amazed by how Megaton can't even seem to execute a simple fucking school boy correctly.
- 1:34:31[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, the five minute call may as well been five hours, thankfully ended after that.
- 1:34:36[UNKNOWN]: Touch about a yellow worry and I was like, please, God, please actually be a worry.
- 1:34:40[UNKNOWN]: And yes, he was telling the truth.
- 1:34:42[UNKNOWN]: She pinned Megatown with a crossbody off the ropes.
- 1:34:44[UNKNOWN]: Three quarters of a star.
- 1:34:46[UNKNOWN]: This was fucking horrendous.
- 1:34:49[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:34:50[UNKNOWN]: It's, I think the thing that dream star Grand Prix suffers the most from is just.
- 1:34:57[UNKNOWN]: Why is it this big?
- 1:35:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like, why isn't Lady AI in this fucking thing instead of Megaton at least?
- 1:35:06[UNKNOWN]: Already a way better, but more months into a fucking career.
- 1:35:10[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I guess, so I mean, that's not that it isn't a proofman.
- 1:35:17[UNKNOWN]: It's a big improvement for me, Megaton!
- 1:35:19[UNKNOWN]: Over Megaton!
- 1:35:22[UNKNOWN]: They might be people off the street who are better for a big improvement over mega time.
- 1:35:26[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I've least I've seen one mega ton match that I enjoyed this year.
- 1:35:32[UNKNOWN]: It's one more than me.
- 1:35:34[UNKNOWN]: No, it was actually it's multiple ones because it's all of the matches against Giro at the Odovort Show at the beginning of the year.
- 1:35:42[UNKNOWN]: But I was also there for that.
- 1:35:44[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I didn't say that, sorry.
- 1:35:47[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, like she should not be in this tournament.
- 1:35:49[UNKNOWN]: I think that's very fair to say.
- 1:35:51[UNKNOWN]: Like where it's like,
- 1:35:52[UNKNOWN]: Like we don't like why it's like legitimately like 85% of the roster is in this turn of it.
- 1:35:58[UNKNOWN]: That's that's too many people and she's one of the first cuts like it's I don't that's Siri.
- 1:36:05[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to disagree a little bit.
- 1:36:06[UNKNOWN]: I don't really mind size the tournament general because I like I kind of like the idea with a roster of people who, you know, need the wraps.
- 1:36:14[UNKNOWN]: I don't mind seeing them do a bunch of singles matches.
- 1:36:17[UNKNOWN]: It feels interesting to me like watching them.
- 1:36:18[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 1:36:19[UNKNOWN]: Russell and see how where they are in their careers.
- 1:36:22[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I don't really mind it.
- 1:36:23[UNKNOWN]: The only one.
- 1:36:24[UNKNOWN]: I'm just like, this is there's no reason to be in this tournament.
- 1:36:26[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, who the fuck away for me is making it.
- 1:36:28[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can't make a ton out of this tournament.
- 1:36:30[UNKNOWN]: If again, if you were playing a back at time of the day, I really have no problem.
- 1:36:33[UNKNOWN]: I mean, again, I think kind of similarly on like the thing was like people need reps, but it's like, if people need reps, you don't need to put somebody in tournament that is basically like the total like female Torriano.
- 1:36:45[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's just there to for people to take the night off like yeah.
- 1:36:49[UNKNOWN]: No, they don't need to do me a night off anyway Because it's only six there's only six people for block.
- 1:36:53[UNKNOWN]: Yes, how do you know it's 50 minutes I'm limited with anyway, so like what are we doing here?
- 1:36:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:36:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I may be telling us in the tournament I guess because the fans like her, right?
- 1:37:02[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the marical fans seem to like her for God knows what reason So you have to be fair and say that but like I guess that's why she's in it, but like she's fucking horrendous Yeah, I don't know
- 1:37:12[UNKNOWN]: The next match, this is where, again, Mari Gold really was like, I could be your angel or your devil here because this next match was my favorite match of the matches they ran in these two shows, which was laceetto, beating Chino in 938, so Ray goes to 2 and 2 and Chino goes to 0 and 2, so Chino ran straight down the ramp, a mealy drop kick set out in the ring, that was an interesting twist for sure, obviously don't expect the heel to try something like that.
- 1:37:40[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, set out quickly, took over anyway though with a hair weapon that I face wash in the corner before starting to work over she knows arm and she has this big delay power slam for you to count and then immediately lock out a food you are on bar and very, very strong selling.
- 1:37:54[UNKNOWN]: I thought from she know as you would make the ropes to break.
- 1:37:58[UNKNOWN]: She now came back with some nice middle kicks for a two count.
- 1:38:01[UNKNOWN]: Setto went right after her arm again, tried to get extended into a cross arm breaker.
- 1:38:05[UNKNOWN]: Once she finally did get that on, she knew it was forced to scramble the ropes immediately.
- 1:38:10[UNKNOWN]: And then Setto just started stomping on her arm again from there.
- 1:38:13[UNKNOWN]: Her running drop kick kind of missed though.
- 1:38:14[UNKNOWN]: It like sorta hit her in the lower chest, but she knows still sold the arm anyway.
- 1:38:17[UNKNOWN]: Looks a little goofy, but whatever.
- 1:38:20[UNKNOWN]: They went to a form exchange where she now took over some very nice looking light kicks.
- 1:38:30[UNKNOWN]: SETO just went straight back at the arm again.
- 1:38:33[UNKNOWN]: She took her back down to the mat and locked in one of her wacky stretches.
- 1:38:36[UNKNOWN]: Again, she knows selling very strong, especially the way she escalated her pained expression.
- 1:38:41[UNKNOWN]: The moment SETO got the full extension of the whole truth is looking for it.
- 1:38:45[UNKNOWN]: And just really good fluid looking matwork in general, like going back and forth, where she was able to get herself out of the rope break, that led to the five minute call.
- 1:38:55[UNKNOWN]: She now came back to the nice dropkick, managed to get a scorpion, Deathlock on, and I did like the set of our first escape and almost transition back into the armbar, where she was able to slip away from her and get it on for real.
- 1:39:07[UNKNOWN]: And then I was set it was four-fifth rope break at that point, she don't got into this interesting looking drag and sleeper of sorts, where she had it like down in a kneeling position, but set it was able to get out of that, and set it was back to the arm and they used it to take her down into a crucifix pen, which got her to win, which I, that's just the, like I, I don't set a lot in the G1 and the 5 star, but like wrestlers are working on limbs and then turning into pens instead of submissions, which is an interesting trend.
- 1:39:33[UNKNOWN]: I feel like I like it.
- 1:39:34[UNKNOWN]: It's like a little, another way to win a win match is to have to be a submission.
- 1:39:38[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I thought there's a really, really good little match for the great psychology and selling for even through two relatively experienced wrestlers, and it washed the bad taste out of my mouth with the last match.
- 1:39:49[UNKNOWN]: So, and it's like these are the two two of the exact wrestlers that you wash my ankle before, and they definitely deliver to you.
- 1:39:55[UNKNOWN]: So, three and three quarters really enjoy this.
- 1:39:59[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, I'd say my agree that this was like a lot better than the match before and everything, like just very, very enjoyable.
- 1:40:06[UNKNOWN]: It just with very, uh, what is sometimes struggle before, but it's just like, like a like her, like she's obviously very talented.
- 1:40:18[UNKNOWN]: I almost feel like she's a little miscast and it's like, you roll.
- 1:40:23[UNKNOWN]: Well, she doesn't do anything that he always does.
- 1:40:25[UNKNOWN]: Exactly, that's the problem.
- 1:40:26[UNKNOWN]: Like she doesn't do anything he's like.
- 1:40:28[UNKNOWN]: But like neither does anyone else.
- 1:40:30[UNKNOWN]: She's trying to do something.
- 1:40:31[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:40:32[UNKNOWN]: Like, she'd a little bit, right?
- 1:40:34[UNKNOWN]: And I guess, and Ray doesn't even really do that.
- 1:40:36[UNKNOWN]: No, exactly.
- 1:40:37[UNKNOWN]: Like, she doesn't even do the perfunctory cheating.
- 1:40:39[UNKNOWN]: She's just like a baby face that is in a yield unit, essentially.
- 1:40:43[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:40:44[UNKNOWN]: So I got it.
- 1:40:45[UNKNOWN]: No, I get it.
- 1:40:46[UNKNOWN]: Like, to me, it doesn't really matter when I'm watching her do a match like this, but I can't wait.
- 1:40:50[UNKNOWN]: I totally get what you mean.
- 1:40:51[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like, I mean, yeah, yeah, it met us in the tournament match, but still it was because okay, because she has it's very gothic aesthetic aesthetic.
- 1:41:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but right because she apparently loves harmoism real life.
- 1:41:02[UNKNOWN]: So like, oh, you wear black all the time and you have like these creepy fingernails so you're obviously going to be a heal.
- 1:41:07[UNKNOWN]: But like in her resting style that was like very like, you know, just a nice little submission wrestler and like, you know, and she's like a little
- 1:41:17[UNKNOWN]: and she has like baby face charisma.
- 1:41:18[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, it doesn't.
- 1:41:19[UNKNOWN]: Like you gotta set it up yet.
- 1:41:21[UNKNOWN]: There'll be a baby face like harm with these guys.
- 1:41:23[UNKNOWN]: It's okay.
- 1:41:24[UNKNOWN]: You don't need to make for her.
- 1:41:27[UNKNOWN]: I guess this is just like Japanese, like cultural pressure.
- 1:41:29[UNKNOWN]: It's like you look like this so you need to be a heal.
- 1:41:32[UNKNOWN]: But also, yeah, yeah.
- 1:41:33[UNKNOWN]: You have zero heal energy actually.
- 1:41:35[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:41:37[UNKNOWN]: But she's kind of too cute to be here.
- 1:41:38[UNKNOWN]: Yes, exactly.
- 1:41:39[UNKNOWN]: Like otherwise, just so ignoring all of that, this was a great match.
- 1:41:43[UNKNOWN]: It's just this is just my key problem that I have for her.
- 1:41:47[UNKNOWN]: And I think problem is stretching in a bit much as well, obviously, where it's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:41:51[UNKNOWN]: Like it's still very enjoyable, it's just like, there's just this weird disconnect between what you actually are and what you're supposed to be.
- 1:42:01[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:42:03[UNKNOWN]: The next match was Arina Yamanaka, defeating Yuki Yamazaki in Block A in 10 minutes, so one second with the MDMA.
- 1:42:11[UNKNOWN]: Yamanaki goes to 2-0 and Yamazaki goes to R1-2.
- 1:42:15[UNKNOWN]: Yuka has possibly the weirdest entry scene of this entire promotion, I think.
- 1:42:19[UNKNOWN]: Like I guess I could play it about so many girls in this person having like generic upbeat themes, but Yuka is like this very weird beat where I can't even tell what the fuck it's going for, so it's very strange.
- 1:42:30[UNKNOWN]: So, Arena did not want to shake the hometown girls' hand for some reason because Yomzaki Shormosaka, I guess your suspensions were valid though because when she finally did go for the hand shake, you could immediately took a stratter.
- 1:42:43[UNKNOWN]: But Yomunaka avoided it and then just kind of patterned on the head kind of settingly with the big height of energy as that was funny.
- 1:42:49[UNKNOWN]: The match was a little goofy, especially early, like Yuga was like briefly biting Erina's forehead at one point when she had an agrarian sleeper hold.
- 1:42:58[UNKNOWN]: Then Erina missed a bronchobuster in the corner and took a kick in the rear end from Yuga again kind of goofy.
- 1:43:06[UNKNOWN]: She took Yuga's head off of the big boot at one point that was like the furry fiddly cool.
- 1:43:09[UNKNOWN]: It came out of the match.
- 1:43:10[UNKNOWN]: She then did a weird little elbow drop where she hit the ropes.
- 1:43:14[UNKNOWN]: ran up to her, stopped, whipped her hair down, went, woo, and then dropped the elbow.
- 1:43:20[UNKNOWN]: Like, what the fuck was that?
- 1:43:21[UNKNOWN]: I was like, every time I got like, what is she doing there?
- 1:43:25[UNKNOWN]: It was like, kind of weird, like, people's elbow almost.
- 1:43:27[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, you did the, you went to the ropes and then just stopped.
- 1:43:30[UNKNOWN]: It's like, very strange weapon.
- 1:43:32[UNKNOWN]: And then she literally sits on Duke's face for the pen for starting to smack on the ass.
- 1:43:36[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, why is it's not like so horny all of a sudden?
- 1:43:39[UNKNOWN]: Like, what's going on?
- 1:43:41[UNKNOWN]: I guess it's a totally unusual thing for Erina Gammonak.
- 1:43:43[UNKNOWN]: I guess it's kind of an injury in general.
- 1:43:45[UNKNOWN]: But like, but then she came from PPP, too.
- 1:43:47[UNKNOWN]: Didn't she hear something?
- 1:43:48[UNKNOWN]: Or she's like a free letter to PPP?
- 1:43:49[UNKNOWN]: Uh, maybe.
- 1:43:51[UNKNOWN]: Thanks.
- 1:43:53[UNKNOWN]: So maybe that explains it.
- 1:43:54[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know.
- 1:43:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but yeah, you could did a little twist of fate for a two count followed by a front soup collection in a near fall within arena got her in head savages that just ground the master hall just wanted to finally get in going after what felt like eons you you could finally got out of it and I don't know she wasn't really selling it in a particularly compelling way too.
- 1:44:15[UNKNOWN]: I guess we're supposed to be trying to go like going out but just I didn't convey that super well.
- 1:44:20[UNKNOWN]: Yamanaka went for this wacky-looking twisting splash up the top, but you could run out of a way, rolled out for a two-count, and that led her to her trying like repeated splash pins unsuccessfully, or flash pins, I should say, I'm successfully.
- 1:44:34[UNKNOWN]: Erina came back though and actually got the Bronco Buster this time, we really hit a twice to row, and then hit the inverted UT, the MDMA for the pen.
- 1:44:43[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, below average vash here, nothing that bad, nothing really good or interesting about it either, just kind of fairly boring throughout.
- 1:44:51[UNKNOWN]: And then I'm not really into the hoarding match thing.
- 1:44:53[UNKNOWN]: I'm not a janitor.
- 1:44:54[UNKNOWN]: It doesn't really work for me.
- 1:44:55[UNKNOWN]: So you have two on a corner.
- 1:44:56[UNKNOWN]: Wasn't wasn't that good?
- 1:44:59[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, to me, I agree that it wasn't a very good match.
- 1:45:06[UNKNOWN]: But what kind of like changed my perspective on this match a little bit
- 1:45:14[UNKNOWN]: Basically, Yuka's like matched on the next show, right?
- 1:45:19[UNKNOWN]: On the evening show, because to me, this match structure made a bit more sense based on what they were gonna do with her later.
- 1:45:28[UNKNOWN]: So that excused it a little bit more.
- 1:45:31[UNKNOWN]: Like I still don't think it was a good match or anything like that, but I kinda got why she was like why she had to lose this specific match.
- 1:45:42[UNKNOWN]: because that just made like the next match I actually feel like a lot more special.
- 1:45:49[UNKNOWN]: I think I like that much for a new day, I guess we'll get to that then.
- 1:45:52[UNKNOWN]: But like this match or the next.
- 1:45:54[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, there's the main amount of this, the UK, Amazon.
- 1:45:58[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, no, but that's exactly what I meant.
- 1:46:01[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I said, well, like her losing this match here on the afternoon show made the main event feel more special.
- 1:46:09[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:46:09[UNKNOWN]: God, I got it, okay.
- 1:46:11[UNKNOWN]: The semi-maid event of this afternoon show was Nagisanozaki beating Komomi Nami in 756 with the Noara Lensurhai.
- 1:46:19[UNKNOWN]: So Nagisaki goes to two in one and Komomo goes to Owen too.
- 1:46:24[UNKNOWN]: So Komo got a nice little arm drag from a wheelbarrow position to start, but the larger Nagisaki said just started no selling her strikes and they just kept double hand slapping her heart at the chest.
- 1:46:33[UNKNOWN]: Combo try to come back to the dive for the floor, but 90 set through a chair interface from out there and a pretty narrowly looking spot Then sort of sending her on the chairs of ringside for hitting some knees to chest out there Back of the rain naggy select in a sleeper hold eventually took her down to a ground of sleeper Come on, well, I thought sold it well even was like coughing for air and stuff
- 1:46:53[UNKNOWN]: and she finally made the ropes to break.
- 1:46:55[UNKNOWN]: And Komo got some close nearfalls later, including one-off a very well-excuted crucifix hole that I thought could have been the finish.
- 1:47:01[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, now he said, Dr. Heispin kick from her, just cracked her in the mouth with a big punch, and then, uh, fucking decapitated her, but backed back, running big boots, and the second one got it again.
- 1:47:12[UNKNOWN]: I thought this was good.
- 1:47:13[UNKNOWN]: Three and a half stars.
- 1:47:14[UNKNOWN]: A big improvement on 90s and it's not these first two matches.
- 1:47:17[UNKNOWN]: People didn't hear it last week.
- 1:47:18[UNKNOWN]: I thought both of her two matches for the one we're going to shiake and I'm going to get it now.
- 1:47:23[UNKNOWN]: It's a colorful horrible.
- 1:47:24[UNKNOWN]: The fact that this match is actually good was maybe
- 1:47:27[UNKNOWN]: a nice sign for Nagisa, but really I think it says more about Komomo.
- 1:47:30[UNKNOWN]: I think it's like she's quietly joined the upper echelon of like younger wrestlers in this company for me now where she's you can see a ton of improvement in her the past few months.
- 1:47:40[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I think she's like she's looking a lot better now and she had a I thought she had a good match here at Nagisa.
- 1:47:46[UNKNOWN]: So, three and a half.
- 1:47:47[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no.
- 1:47:48[UNKNOWN]: And the flying bumps she took a lot of those two big
- 1:47:53[UNKNOWN]: No, that's really, like, like, it's had, like, the main reason to, like, watch Marigold these days.
- 1:47:58[UNKNOWN]: It's like, basically, it's, like, the kind of, like, resisted you want to see on that show or on these shows, right?
- 1:48:04[UNKNOWN]: Well, you kind of want to get, like, in on the ground floor, of, like, somebody that is potentially going to be great.
- 1:48:12[UNKNOWN]: Like, you know, like, a couple years down the line.
- 1:48:15[UNKNOWN]: And I think, um, oh, it's like one of those wrestlers, right?
- 1:48:18[UNKNOWN]: It's just, like,
- 1:48:20[UNKNOWN]: you kind of want to keep an eye on her or you want to like maybe like bought that like hype train early because then you know you can say that you've always known where this was gonna go.
- 1:48:30[UNKNOWN]: It's like just like me and your artist took it like victory lap on the Emerald Frowsherty other day but we were like no no no we were like the the first people on their like real hero you were like train basically where we were both like yeah this is the this is the guy
- 1:48:47[UNKNOWN]: that is going to be like a top star in like New Japan like relatively soon and like based on the network's version exactly yeah and it's like come on like maybe she's not quite at that level but it's like somebody you want to keep your eye on food tournament the way she like proceeds because
- 1:49:05[UNKNOWN]: If she shows more performances like this one here, then you might want to borrow bought that Komomo like hype train now and then you're going to feel really fucking smart like two years down the line essentially.
- 1:49:17[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, totally totally the same thing I get when you watch like a ice rabbit or something and see like you know the hero twins or yeah, I'm an army or somebody like a Yuga and just like yeah, you want to like pay attention to those people because they could be big deals a few years
- 1:49:30[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the main event, my soccer I beat Cheechi 1147, the glorious driver, so that moved to her to one in one, and dropped Cheechi to Owen Won, this is Cheechi's first tournament match.
- 1:49:41[UNKNOWN]: The Barbie girl recording here sounded like it was down a little off in Napster in 1990, but it was so weird, it was like, what is going on in Barbie girl?
- 1:49:49[UNKNOWN]: It sounded so watched out here.
- 1:49:52[UNKNOWN]: Uh, but yeah, so my offer teaching a hand shake at the start of the bash, then slacker in the face hard when she wouldn't take it and cheat you softer back, not the way it's hard though.
- 1:50:02[UNKNOWN]: We were off.
- 1:50:03[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the first couple minutes though, we're a little more boring than expected.
- 1:50:07[UNKNOWN]: Not a time was happening, but cheat.
- 1:50:09[UNKNOWN]: She started hitting somebody's front and boots the face on my in the corner at least.
- 1:50:12[UNKNOWN]: She got an octopus hold after that, which forced mine to the ropes to break and immediately hit another running boot to her face while she was leaning against said ropes.
- 1:50:20[UNKNOWN]: They did some hard forms of the outside that was cool, mostly the chaff, I think if you're even to the face.
- 1:50:25[UNKNOWN]: And then Chichi sent her into some chairs and gun for a front suplex out there, going to the immediately reversed by my, my, then did some chairworking of her own.
- 1:50:34[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, we got a miss a drop out the top by my back in the ring, but then not a whole lot else of note for a little while.
- 1:50:40[UNKNOWN]: Uh, they traded big boots to each other in the corner before cheating hit this spinning high kick.
- 1:50:44[UNKNOWN]: The unfortunate look like a barely toughster that got a two count and she has an exposed or suplex for the two count.
- 1:50:51[UNKNOWN]: Uh, my got to went to the roast just gave peachy looking for a batch of soup lex, but then caught peachy running in hit this like pretty mediocre looking back up soup lex of our own just for the 10 minute call.
- 1:51:01[UNKNOWN]: We're really looking at you barely like got off the ground.
- 1:51:04[UNKNOWN]: So that would that amount of good.
- 1:51:06[UNKNOWN]: The energy did pick up a bit though with both girls trading more running boots only getting one counts off of them And the soccer I gets her cross arm driver the glorious driver for the pen, which felt a little anti climatic But whatever, it was like pretty good.
- 1:51:17[UNKNOWN]: It was like three and a quarter, but that was really disappointing for a parry that I had circled is like okay This could be like an awesome fucking match the tournament type of match two wrestlers I like a lot.
- 1:51:26[UNKNOWN]: We just had a pretty good little match.
- 1:51:27[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know Did you happen like this more than I did or anything?
- 1:51:33[UNKNOWN]: Um, it was fine, um, not my favorite, my Sakurai match of this year, to be sure.
- 1:51:44[UNKNOWN]: No, not even close.
- 1:51:45[UNKNOWN]: No, yeah, not even close.
- 1:51:47[UNKNOWN]: Um, I was still, again, because this was like treat, she's like, first tournament match.
- 1:51:53[UNKNOWN]: I was still feeling fine about this.
- 1:51:55[UNKNOWN]: I have more questions about her booking.
- 1:51:58[UNKNOWN]: On the second shoulder, we're going to talk about rest of this window.
- 1:52:02[UNKNOWN]: It did make sense.
- 1:52:03[UNKNOWN]: Like, right, like, my is quite like has been like fairly strongly pushed, like during this year and everything.
- 1:52:10[UNKNOWN]: So it did make sense that she would be treated here was like, I feel like cheat cheese, one of those people in this tournament, did you kind of want to keep strong, just based on this like, storyline that you have established.
- 1:52:25[UNKNOWN]: So you don't actually want her to lose that many matches because they're just undercuts a story like into building up right where she's just like Marigold is weak so I you know like If she then loses in your tournament a lot Like that just makes that pay off of her eventually getting shut the fuck up Be like a lot weaker
- 1:52:54[UNKNOWN]: So like, it this one I still felt like strongly about.
- 1:52:57[UNKNOWN]: It was like my sucker I can absolutely get a win on her.
- 1:53:01[UNKNOWN]: So like the match itself was strong and everything, but it's like, like I said, like on the other show, I had a lot more problems with Titchie's poking down on this one.
- 1:53:12[UNKNOWN]: So that's that.
- 1:53:17[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, overall, you know, it was a very up-and-down show, you know, it had the best match of either show, but it was like the evening shows I got through the second was a little didn't have the peaks or the valleys in my opinion.
- 1:53:29[UNKNOWN]: So I did really like the main event, not the main event, but the main tournament match on the afternoon show, on the evening show.
- 1:53:39[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so we'll get to that now.
- 1:53:41[UNKNOWN]: Uh, I forgot to get the crowds by the way.
- 1:53:42[UNKNOWN]: They announced 365 for the afternoon and 310 for the evening, which it's marical crowds, so take it, so you get how you want, but that's what they announced.
- 1:53:50[UNKNOWN]: That was a kind of weird that like deep, earlier show drew more than like deep and so.
- 1:53:56[UNKNOWN]: I think, well, that's starting now happened to on weekends, we can double headers because I think people like, people might go to the afternoon show and go out at night.
- 1:54:04[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:54:05[UNKNOWN]: Fair enough.
- 1:54:05[UNKNOWN]: Especially if you're in like Osaka.
- 1:54:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:54:07[UNKNOWN]: I kind of get that as well.
- 1:54:08[UNKNOWN]: Right.
- 1:54:09[UNKNOWN]: Like when you do like the 1140 Corican, that is actually like pretty damn nice.
- 1:54:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:54:14[UNKNOWN]: You just get out and you just have to fall day out of you.
- 1:54:17[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:54:18[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:54:19[UNKNOWN]: So the evening show, the first tournament match was in Block B.
- 1:54:23[UNKNOWN]: Come on with Naomi beat Chiyaki and 837 with the Komomo clutch.
- 1:54:28[UNKNOWN]: That was, because I was almost first wins, so she's now one and two.
- 1:54:30[UNKNOWN]: Watch Yaki's now on to Chiyaki controlled.
- 1:54:33[UNKNOWN]: Early as you'd expect, she got her face washed up against the robes.
- 1:54:37[UNKNOWN]: We went out to the floor for the inevitable crowd-rolling.
- 1:54:40[UNKNOWN]: uh, Chiyaki walked her all the way around the ring and a headlock for some reason before Tostery and the chairs over there.
- 1:54:45[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, what were on the chairs by you, Chiyaki?
- 1:54:47[UNKNOWN]: Well, like, the walker, the sole length of a ring from one side of the other to throw into some chairs.
- 1:54:53[UNKNOWN]: Like, there were chairs over there too.
- 1:54:55[UNKNOWN]: Uh, then she threw a chair at her but for finally put her back on the ring because she's a true sportsman, Chiyaki.
- 1:55:01[UNKNOWN]: She then put her in a claw or something on the corner.
- 1:55:04[UNKNOWN]: I don't know what if that was supposed to be just kind of held her hand on her forehead while climbing up the rope So it was like what is this Come on we'll finally got some off-ends.
- 1:55:12[UNKNOWN]: So Gia and a running knee in the back and then a nice little basement dropkick She went for a flood suplex, but she occupied blocked it We're taking her down and hitting a leg drop brother for a two count
- 1:55:23[UNKNOWN]: Um, I think the biggest issue with Chiyaki or Chaki matches is how little interest in a little she seems interested in.
- 1:55:32[UNKNOWN]: just doing anything a lot of these matches is like standing around the same smugs for our face.
- 1:55:37[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's like every, like it feels like 60% of every Chiaki matches her with the exact same smug grin looking around.
- 1:55:44[UNKNOWN]: Like can you just do something like wrestle or even do like interesting heel taunting or something?
- 1:55:49[UNKNOWN]: It's just like, oh, look how smug I am.
- 1:55:51[UNKNOWN]: Like I just, I don't know, I can't, I can't stand her.
- 1:55:54[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I get what I say, I used to be a little good smug face.
- 1:55:57[UNKNOWN]: She has a pretty good smug face.
- 1:55:58[UNKNOWN]: She has a pretty good smug face.
- 1:55:59[UNKNOWN]: Like, I don't know.
- 1:56:01[UNKNOWN]: She's really, she's really annoying.
- 1:56:02[UNKNOWN]: And I get, I used to be like, ah, people are kind of hard on her, but the more I have to watch her, I'm just like, I kind of get it.
- 1:56:08[UNKNOWN]: She kind of sucks.
- 1:56:11[UNKNOWN]: Komomo escaped a Boston crab.
- 1:56:16[UNKNOWN]: She did a good job selling her back after that still though, and a little after that, she got the credit off and over the bed.
- 1:56:21[UNKNOWN]: I went two and a half, deeply average match, but that again, it's a big improvement on Chiak.
- 1:56:26[UNKNOWN]: He's first match at least, so come on, welcome, so take that credit, I guess.
- 1:56:30[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, I might have liked this a little bit more than you and not by like a lot, but it's just because I've liked to come on more like performance on this one.
- 1:56:40[UNKNOWN]: Well, like she's just like Sasha got underdog baby face,
- 1:56:46[UNKNOWN]: Like even on this foot voice like overall like a fair like mediocre match, she can actually like get you like emotionally invested in her Like trying to like desperately get a win and then her actually like Managing to pull it out in the end.
- 1:57:01[UNKNOWN]: It was actually like a nice like feel good moment like again not an amazing match, but I definitely was like very very heavily rooting for like
- 1:57:10[UNKNOWN]: Come on more to like actually get the first one there and I was surprised that they actually did actually get a first one year to so it was a feel good moment for me at least.
- 1:57:21[UNKNOWN]: In deep lock, we had a cheaper go to being late set out in nine fifty nine with the go to special so I moved for one and two her first one.
- 1:57:28[UNKNOWN]: and gave set-over for his loss, he's now 211, much better showing that thought for Gochie, he got that her previous match with Kobe back Corrigan.
- 1:57:38[UNKNOWN]: She got to basically just beat up poor set-out who bumped all over the place for, you know, especially with the size difference it worked.
- 1:57:46[UNKNOWN]: There was like this axe bomber, I thought towards the end, that set-out took this great bump for.
- 1:57:50[UNKNOWN]: The chopes and the different actors were a little more pedestrian though, but set-out kicked out to anyway.
- 1:57:55[UNKNOWN]: We had a go-chick, unfortunately, it kind of blew the finish because it's like went to lift her from the move and then just kind of dropped her and to pick her back up so that, you know, whatever, point stop for that.
- 1:58:03[UNKNOWN]: But still pretty good overall.
- 1:58:04[UNKNOWN]: So like three and a quarter.
- 1:58:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:58:07[UNKNOWN]: What have you had?
- 1:58:07[UNKNOWN]: What have you had?
- 1:58:07[UNKNOWN]: What have you had?
- 1:58:08[UNKNOWN]: I want to have three and a half and bowl of finish.
- 1:58:10[UNKNOWN]: So yeah.
- 1:58:11[UNKNOWN]: No, for me, this was also like the case of like, I like, like I agree that they like blew the finish and everything.
- 1:58:19[UNKNOWN]: And again, as I talked about earlier
- 1:58:24[UNKNOWN]: Sadder or not really being a heal is a bit of a like detrimental essentially because it's like okay, like I'm supposed to root for the person that is in like the like heal faction essentially it's what you're like asking me to do
- 1:58:41[UNKNOWN]: in this matter, like she's good at that, but it also feels kind of weird that it's just like, it feels weird regardless of motion, whenever you ask me to feel bad for the person in the heel faction.
- 1:58:53[UNKNOWN]: Especially if the upper against to somebody who's not a heel, as well.
- 1:58:57[UNKNOWN]: So, it was just an awkward dynamic.
- 1:59:00[UNKNOWN]: Like it wasn't a bad match, it was just like, like during the entire matter, it was just like,
- 1:59:08[UNKNOWN]: Are you sure that you know what you're doing with this one specifically?
- 1:59:12[UNKNOWN]: It's like, I get that it makes sense just based on the size of these two.
- 1:59:16[UNKNOWN]: What it was also like.
- 1:59:21[UNKNOWN]: Can we just turn, can we just turn Ray into a face?
- 1:59:24[UNKNOWN]: Like, I think that's the easiest solution here.
- 1:59:27[UNKNOWN]: And then I would not have a single issue with this match to be quite right.
- 1:59:33[UNKNOWN]: In Block C, they had a strong, finally got to do something beside a good counter out.
- 1:59:38[UNKNOWN]: She'd be Cheechee in 924 at the Polish game to go to 1-2 and drop Cheechee to 0-2.
- 1:59:43[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, they had a big good at our name.
- 1:59:45[UNKNOWN]: She man-hailed the Barbie right from the start of this match.
- 1:59:49[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it's not just fine, but just wasn't in any kind of next level for me.
- 1:59:53[UNKNOWN]: Diana is like really loud in this specific like forder who knows that Joe she wrestlers yell a lot so she's off the side yell a lot kind of way when it comes off vaguely forced in a natural but she does it so um and the finish again I took points off because she did this like very weird weak looking Vader by an out of corner like she didn't look actually really land on her at all she's kind of like gently laid on her and that was like the set up for the death by a driver
- 2:00:23[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it was okay.
- 2:00:24[UNKNOWN]: I get the I get the joke now actually death Valley driver Polish game instead of DVD game Maybe I don't know Two and three quarters.
- 2:00:36[UNKNOWN]: It was all right Yeah again for this one my issue was very much just like the booking of T.T.
- 2:00:42[UNKNOWN]: here was just like Like she's supposed to be just like invader to like that is like cute like
- 2:00:50[UNKNOWN]: Tell Marry Gold how to like get it shit together and then she just goes over to In your tournament right away, right there just just some some walking from Poland exactly like losing to some movement from Poland That that's never been here before like it's not even like if she loses to like an actual like marical wesla Like shutting her up from like all of her like shit talking.
- 2:01:13[UNKNOWN]: It's like a woman that has had like a handful of matches and the proportions of our
- 2:01:20[UNKNOWN]: Like, it's just kind of bizarre booking, especially because strong as only lost on like countouts previously, like, it seems like she's really getting protected.
- 2:01:30[UNKNOWN]: Like, okay, I don't really like, I like her in general, like I think she's like a good person to keep around.
- 2:01:38[UNKNOWN]: Like I think I should have established that in from first principles, it's just the booking
- 2:01:47[UNKNOWN]: just based on what has been established previously.
- 2:01:51[UNKNOWN]: Like just in general, I agree with keeping Diana strong, but it just, it doesn't make sense for her to like beat the outside her who has been shit talking to promotion for like months.
- 2:02:08[UNKNOWN]: It's just kind of a weird decision.
- 2:02:13[UNKNOWN]: Then we had the second, the last Torra match, Victoria Yuzuki beating Shoko Koshino and 10 minutes and 10 seconds to go to 3 and 0 and drop Koshito to 1 and 1.
- 2:02:32[UNKNOWN]: Yuzuki controlled early on.
- 2:02:33[UNKNOWN]: She gave Shoko a drop kick with her head up in the ropes and then just stomped on her and adhered her to header.
- 2:02:39[UNKNOWN]: It was kind of funny why we play the aggression here, and that Shoko actually has quite a bit of a size edge on her, but like usually he still makes the natural, which she looks like a fucking little swide demon as we've been over and Shoko looks like a big door, so it just makes sense again.
- 2:02:52[UNKNOWN]: It would be just that of her.
- 2:02:53[UNKNOWN]: I don't care if Shoko has like two or four inches on her.
- 2:02:56[UNKNOWN]: uh, she absorbs all of she'll go to flows for just cracking on the mouth with a single form and then applying across face, which forced she'll go to the ropes to break.
- 2:03:05[UNKNOWN]: Uh, use if you think gives her a brutal looking running jumping to the face while she's up against the ropes, uh, and then to pin it over with the capture German, definitely better than your average she'll go match that as for sure, because use of keys just that good, I guess, three and a half stars, which I would bet the house on this being she'll go as best match the tournament.
- 2:03:22[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 2:03:23[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, she's not, I'm probably.
- 2:03:25[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 2:03:26[UNKNOWN]: I mean, again, Victoria, again, Victoria'suki is one of those people that you watch like, like, variables for, right?
- 2:03:33[UNKNOWN]: Like, super-young, still, like, still, I like her, I think she's great, but she does still, like, some like, rough edges that she has.
- 2:03:47[UNKNOWN]: and but like otherwise like she's one of those people but it's like you know you get on that train right now and like you got you're going to be able to like feel real smoke when it actually plays all for you eventually and yeah show show go on the other hand it's like yeah no i mean this there's nothing there like it's just it's over she's just she is what she is
- 2:04:12[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, this was absolutely the best match for her in the tournament and it's it's just not gonna get any better than that and she's I give me one of the other people in the tournament where I'm questioning like why did you need this field to be this big like you get probably cut her as well I guess maybe it is as you mentioned to give like the younger people some reps, but it's also like
- 2:04:40[UNKNOWN]: It's not like it's really gone like with all the very enjoyable mattress and this is the high water mark of what she can probably do.
- 2:04:48[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, totally, this is this is going to be it for her.
- 2:04:51[UNKNOWN]: I think.
- 2:04:51[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the main event in block A Miku Anna loses to you.
- 2:04:56[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'm exactly in 12 or three to four a clutch.
- 2:04:59[UNKNOWN]: So you're going to go to one and two and Miku goes to one and one.
- 2:05:02[UNKNOWN]: I was so convinced there is no way that's from belt champion is losing this rookie here.
- 2:05:06[UNKNOWN]: I kept writing during that my notes like
- 2:05:08[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's very hard to believe she's going to beat the Red Belt Champion here.
- 2:05:12[UNKNOWN]: I get why they put her in the veins, she's the whole town girl, all the crowd wasn't still that hot, there have been a lot of clapping, I don't know that was about it.
- 2:05:19[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, she won, yep.
- 2:05:21[UNKNOWN]: Now I wish that actual fucking roll of didn't look so sloppy, too.
- 2:05:24[UNKNOWN]: That's the other complaint I have, like you just, you know, I don't know.
- 2:05:27[UNKNOWN]: Look a little sloppy, a little bit slow, but still a stunning upset in this match.
- 2:05:31[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I'll let you talk about it more, because you think you liked it more than I know.
- 2:05:33[UNKNOWN]: I was like three and a half, I thought it was good, but it didn't blow away anything.
- 2:05:39[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, I feel like I'm probably like one of the like me good defenders as well.
- 2:05:45[UNKNOWN]: Like I actually like her, like I think her reign as like Marigold Champion has been like a bit long in the tooth.
- 2:05:54[UNKNOWN]: Like I think that's a fair assessment because she's...
- 2:05:59[UNKNOWN]: held that belt for like a while now, but I think generally like this is one of those performances where I figure still get it, like I figure still good that she still holds that belt.
- 2:06:09[UNKNOWN]: Because again, she comes into this as like the world champion and everything, right?
- 2:06:13[UNKNOWN]: Like massively favored as he said, nobody believes that like she could lose this match.
- 2:06:21[UNKNOWN]: And like that's how they like wrestle most of the matches well, like Miku is just like dominating Lyuga for the entire match, just like beating the shadow of her not taking a seriously.
- 2:06:32[UNKNOWN]: I think that's the key factor as well, but it's just felt very much for Miku kind of got sloppy at times because she was just like, well, Yuka isn't on my level.
- 2:06:42[UNKNOWN]: Who the fuck is this rookie?
- 2:06:44[UNKNOWN]: This is the main event of the show of like two shows back to back, right?
- 2:06:49[UNKNOWN]: Like, I'm just gonna beat the shader of her.
- 2:06:51[UNKNOWN]: Like, I'm just gonna toy for her for like a little bit.
- 2:06:55[UNKNOWN]: And then I'm gonna pin her and I'm gonna win because I'm the champion.
- 2:06:58[UNKNOWN]: And then you go, it's just like, no, absolutely not.
- 2:07:02[UNKNOWN]: Like, you can, like, you will have to kill me for me to actually lose this match.
- 2:07:08[UNKNOWN]: Like, like, Miku kinda had to go, like,
- 2:07:12[UNKNOWN]: pretty far out there and everything to try to get away and then still failed anyway.
- 2:07:18[UNKNOWN]: And then you could just need it that one little bit.
- 2:07:20[UNKNOWN]: And I agree that like the finish looked a little bit sloppy.
- 2:07:24[UNKNOWN]: But it was still like very much a feeling of like, no, no, no, no, like I just need to catch, like basically I only need to catch you once for me to like win this match.
- 2:07:36[UNKNOWN]: And she like,
- 2:07:38[UNKNOWN]: got that like you win on her, like it's such a massive step in her career.
- 2:07:44[UNKNOWN]: Like it's such a massive win for her, for like her to like defeat us like women who has been championed with such a long fucking time, like it just elevates her.
- 2:07:57[UNKNOWN]: Like right, it's one of those, like I wouldn't say that she's a star now, like definitely not.
- 2:08:03[UNKNOWN]: But it's definitely when that just has like massively elevated her.
- 2:08:09[UNKNOWN]: And there is a potential that like year down the line.
- 2:08:15[UNKNOWN]: Like basically we get like a video package of like Yuka's like achievement of her career when she'd like.
- 2:08:23[UNKNOWN]: actually like challenges for like the world title in like a position where she's actually going to win it right and I'm talking like five years down the line over the fuck well like this finish like this match is going to be in that video package because this is where that journey started is this specific match and that's why I actually really fucking love this was like yes that day's happiness it wasn't perfect or anything like that
- 2:08:50[UNKNOWN]: but I think this finish and this match is going to be important in storylines like down the line because it's going to keep being referenced for years to come.
- 2:09:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, it's all right.
- 2:09:07[UNKNOWN]: And like I think we're, I think we're like Yavazaki winning here will set her up for, I don't know if they give her a ripout shop, but definitely like a rematch.
- 2:09:17[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:09:19[UNKNOWN]: So we'll say, but yeah, overall, I thought the show was like I said before, more consistent than the afternoon show just didn't quite have the peak of Shido and set it up for me, but you know, these are two final shows.
- 2:09:31[UNKNOWN]: So you really have any complaints besides the, the water mash I already hated for.
- 2:09:35[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, they don't want that job.
- 2:09:38[UNKNOWN]: They'd be perfectly fine, you know?
- 2:09:40[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, just get ready to make a ton, please.
- 2:09:43[UNKNOWN]: Actually, okay, before we even move over to the next promotion, which promotion right now do you like less?
- 2:09:50[UNKNOWN]: Dragon gate or merry-goat?
- 2:09:51[UNKNOWN]: Dragon gate.
- 2:09:54[UNKNOWN]: Easily.
- 2:09:57[UNKNOWN]: as we'll get to in a second.
- 2:09:58[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I'm not going to do the standing or anything because again, another show has already happened.
- 2:10:02[UNKNOWN]: I just can't review it yet.
- 2:10:04[UNKNOWN]: So we'll get to all that one, you know, the next week's episode will hopefully be able to get back to, you know, actually caught up.
- 2:10:14[UNKNOWN]: Let's move over to Dreg and Gate now who had their quark and hawl show from September 3rd, the Ray Day Prey House Finals.
- 2:10:22[UNKNOWN]: Now, I want to be fair to Dreg and Gate and say,
- 2:10:26[UNKNOWN]: I did not see any of the rest of this tournament.
- 2:10:30[UNKNOWN]: Say, I saw none of the rest of this tournament.
- 2:10:32[UNKNOWN]: And the Draingate fans, for the most part, had a lot of diceings to say about the rest of this tournament.
- 2:10:39[UNKNOWN]: So Draingate fans said that the rest of the tournament is really good.
- 2:10:42[UNKNOWN]: They said I was worth watching and worth checking out and all that stuff.
- 2:10:45[UNKNOWN]: I didn't see a single second I've had so I can't say anything about that.
- 2:10:48[UNKNOWN]: It could have been the greatest tournament of all time for all I know.
- 2:10:50[UNKNOWN]: So I want to say that first.
- 2:10:52[UNKNOWN]: Uh, you know, if you want to, if a dragon game fan wants to get it, it's nothing to this and wants to go like, well, you didn't see any of the stuff that was really good John, then yes, I, that is true, but like, I treat dragon gate no different from most promotions, I don't watch the tag tournaments of anyone except startup who it actually has been a wrong promotion, so it's not a specific dragon gate thing.
- 2:11:11[UNKNOWN]: And there's plenty of promotions I check in on about the same as dragon gate where watched every monthly hork and practically I didn't miss the last one because just too much going on the other tournaments.
- 2:11:20[UNKNOWN]: but almost every muck the car again and every big show.
- 2:11:23[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, I treat a lot of emotions.
- 2:11:25[UNKNOWN]: So you can't stand being unfair to drag and gave by not watching the rest of their tournament.
- 2:11:29[UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry, you can't get past the microphone and do this right now.
- 2:11:32[UNKNOWN]: She's sorry, because I had this new microphone now that's like on an arm because I don't know if people listening have noticed in the last week.
- 2:11:39[UNKNOWN]: She went under it.
- 2:11:40[UNKNOWN]: That was clever.
- 2:11:41[UNKNOWN]: See, that's why she went to Harvard.
- 2:11:43[UNKNOWN]: Under the microphones that are over it.
- 2:11:47[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, so like the the microphone, you know, it's like it's like an arm like over further away for me.
- 2:11:53[UNKNOWN]: So I found if I sound a little further away, that's why, but the nice thing is now, I don't have a microphone on my bed like making a shaking noise.
- 2:12:00[UNKNOWN]: So no more shaky shaky like we used to get on these podcasts apparently.
- 2:12:04[UNKNOWN]: Anyway, but yeah, so dragon guy, I don't treat them unfairly compared to how I treat a lot of promotions.
- 2:12:08[UNKNOWN]: It's pretty much high fall a lot of promotions.
- 2:12:10[UNKNOWN]: When you watch like 13 promotions, you can't watch every show.
- 2:12:12[UNKNOWN]: I don't watch every show any promotion.
- 2:12:14[UNKNOWN]: Like I don't, I skip plenty of smaller shows for new Japan, for startup, everybody like every like there are a bunch of there to tune in Spatial this week and I'm probably never going to watch and we've not skipped all of the non tournament matches on the merry-goat shows.
- 2:12:25[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, I mean, like we have to do to watch as much stuff as we watch.
- 2:12:30[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, but what all I can do is tell you what I saw and what I saw on these shows was not fucking good.
- 2:12:36[UNKNOWN]: That's what fucking sure it opened up with a dark match actually just before we start I actually argue because I before I watched a show again I only also only watched a show I didn't watch like the rest of the tournament and I actually argue that because I saw so much praise for this tournament.
- 2:12:58[UNKNOWN]: before the show that I went into this specific show with much higher expectations than I would have gone in other ways.
- 2:13:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:13:07[UNKNOWN]: And again, I know that is slightly unfair.
- 2:13:09[UNKNOWN]: I fully realize that that is slightly unfair because it's probably just a case of that this show just massively.
- 2:13:20[UNKNOWN]: and they performed compared to what the rest of the tournament was, but that's also just what my perception was, right?
- 2:13:27[UNKNOWN]: Like I saw something wrong about, yeah, yeah.
- 2:13:31[UNKNOWN]: Like why did they try and get it decided that they were show that they're going to book this entire tournament as the finals?
- 2:13:37[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and it's like they, it seems like the more the more fucking,
- 2:13:42[UNKNOWN]: What's the word like if you read the like cases written review he can point about a lot of the same shit.
- 2:13:46[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to complain about Yeah, I just like the he liked even the good the quote unquote good stuff on the show more than I did But like but like yeah, why did you book such a weird shell for your finals this tournament at the rest of the form like why not just have you have your good rest was do good stuff on this show that yeah
- 2:14:01[UNKNOWN]: like this is obviously going to be your biggest crowd of tournament, you know, probably.
- 2:14:04[UNKNOWN]: I can't say I'm drawing more anywhere else.
- 2:14:07[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it wasn't a big crowd of all of that.
- 2:14:09[UNKNOWN]: They announced one thousand three.
- 2:14:11[UNKNOWN]: Every time they collect the oranges, they look pretty fucking empty.
- 2:14:14[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know about that.
- 2:14:15[UNKNOWN]: But like, yeah, it's just like, it's just very,
- 2:14:21[UNKNOWN]: Like, why not book better stuff on your make show then?
- 2:14:23[UNKNOWN]: I'm poor again.
- 2:14:24[UNKNOWN]: There's plenty of other people like that pop through these quarkens too, especially one that is supposed to build to a bigger show too.
- 2:14:32[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, on top of everything else, so the start of the show we talked about was a pretty decent little road to show, you know, wasn't like it wasn't some blow away show, but it built to their fucking older world show the next week pretty well.
- 2:14:43[UNKNOWN]: This fucking show was a horrendous road to show for their older world show on the following weekend.
- 2:14:48[UNKNOWN]: The exact same situation, the Corrigan building to an older world gym show the next week, which by the way, the ticket sales look horrendous for that show as well.
- 2:14:57[UNKNOWN]: And after watching this Corrigan,
- 2:14:59[UNKNOWN]: Because guess what, most of people in Tokyo haven't didn't fucking see the rest of that form and either I bet.
- 2:15:06[UNKNOWN]: Like do you think every single fucking fan is sitting in the whole walk to every single Ray Day per hour show?
- 2:15:10[UNKNOWN]: A lot of them probably just go to court every month.
- 2:15:12[UNKNOWN]: No.
- 2:15:12[UNKNOWN]: And they're like, okay, what's coming up?
- 2:15:13[UNKNOWN]: What's coming up?
- 2:15:14[UNKNOWN]: Old award.
- 2:15:15[UNKNOWN]: Nothing, that interesting apparently.
- 2:15:17[UNKNOWN]: So I guess I'm not going to go to that, because yeah, the ticket sales, I looked under, I'm lost and ticket.
- 2:15:22[UNKNOWN]: Every single category is listed as full of availability except for one of them.
- 2:15:28[UNKNOWN]: So I believe it's like when I have I had this open and let me just open it again.
- 2:15:33[UNKNOWN]: The second the second the top category RSC, which is 13,000 to 100 yen.
- 2:15:38[UNKNOWN]: I believe that's just second row.
- 2:15:40[UNKNOWN]: That is a few remaining.
- 2:15:41[UNKNOWN]: Every other category, including super seat 16,500 yen is front row, which is pretty fucking cheap for front row by the way, stand A, stand B, second floor A, second floor B all on regular availability.
- 2:15:54[UNKNOWN]: So, and more, less than a week out, we're six, we're, this is yesterday, and I looked at something, there were six days out that point.
- 2:15:59[UNKNOWN]: I mean, that is really bad, okay?
- 2:16:02[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, definitely not a good, not a good attendance look shaping up.
- 2:16:09[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, like, also to that front row again, do you know what, like, both the other front row is charged for front row or the word gem?
- 2:16:16[UNKNOWN]: You might know this.
- 2:16:17[UNKNOWN]: A lot more, right?
- 2:16:19[UNKNOWN]: Like, like, 30,000 yen.
- 2:16:20[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:16:24[UNKNOWN]: So they started until Gojochi.
- 2:16:26[UNKNOWN]: They've sold out their stock in front row.
- 2:16:28[UNKNOWN]: I think starting might have a few left, and that's it.
- 2:16:32[UNKNOWN]: After less, they actually sell like a front section one, two or 50,000, and that sold out.
- 2:16:38[UNKNOWN]: And then 30,000 yen is like a few remaining.
- 2:16:42[UNKNOWN]: That show is like two and a half months away, not a week away.
- 2:16:46[UNKNOWN]: That's like the end of October, I think.
- 2:16:49[UNKNOWN]: And the Tokyo Josh shows us almost a month away.
- 2:16:51[UNKNOWN]: They're from Brazil, so now they're already.
- 2:16:52[UNKNOWN]: They're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil, now they're from Brazil,
- 2:17:19[UNKNOWN]: Yes, it's always what they try to refer to.
- 2:17:21[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:17:22[UNKNOWN]: So like I don't know if they're not, today I'm not going to have a big ticket.
- 2:17:25[UNKNOWN]: If they're not moving very cheap tickets by current, by current Japanese standards.
- 2:17:29[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:17:30[UNKNOWN]: So I think all Japan charges like around 30,000 yen, too.
- 2:17:33[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, for a front row for older.
- 2:17:34[UNKNOWN]: Maybe maybe more actually.
- 2:17:35[UNKNOWN]: I was trying to look at that by couldn't find it because the children took place.
- 2:17:38[UNKNOWN]: But definitely not 15,000 yen.
- 2:17:39[UNKNOWN]: It's not 16,000 power a year.
- 2:17:40[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:17:43[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know.
- 2:17:43[UNKNOWN]: It's very, like very bad ticket sales for an average rank gate.
- 2:17:47[UNKNOWN]: And it kind of frustrates me when I read, because you listen to like, you know, Jay and people like that.
- 2:17:55[UNKNOWN]: And I feel like they're more down on Japanese wrestling as a whole than is deserved, because they're feeling it through the eyes of Dragon Gate.
- 2:18:03[UNKNOWN]: And it's like, I'm sorry, you guys are doing worse than everybody else.
- 2:18:06[UNKNOWN]: I don't want to tell you.
- 2:18:09[UNKNOWN]: It's things are not this dire in Yoshi or New Japan or all Japan or you know, no I even and like this DG sells out some big shows, you know, we don't really get 10 numbers So not many more, but like they'd sell out their cork and stuff and like then it's really aren't this dire anywhere else
- 2:18:25[UNKNOWN]: So I feel like I listen to like the right way to talk sometimes.
- 2:18:28[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, yeah, I know, it's not, it's not like, I'm not saying it's the nine years or anything, but like, I don't know, you guys are like exceedingly dire, I think compared to what the scene actually deserves, and it's because I think you're viewing into the eyes of like the most struggling promotion right now for when it comes like anything remotely big.
- 2:18:49[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, okay, we've tried specifically and this is like a feeling I've had for like a while like it this isn't even like a thing for like recent years.
- 2:18:57[UNKNOWN]: This is like a thing for like a lot of years.
- 2:19:02[UNKNOWN]: It's obviously he is like an insanely important like resource right for like knowledge like
- 2:19:10[UNKNOWN]: probably has forgotten more about like poros and specifically dragon gate than like a lot of people like know about it and everything.
- 2:19:23[UNKNOWN]: So nothing but like respect in general for him but also he has been a doomer.
- 2:19:31[UNKNOWN]: about like Japanese wrestling for like 15 years.
- 2:19:34[UNKNOWN]: Like he has basically predicted collapse of like Japanese wrestling in the next year, for 15 years at this point.
- 2:19:43[UNKNOWN]: And like, okay, maybe you're going to be right eventually, but also if you just predict, if you just predict a collapse to happen every year, like,
- 2:19:57[UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry, like eventually that just becomes a thing of like
- 2:20:02[UNKNOWN]: I guess eventually, just statistically speaking, you're gonna be correct, but that does not erase all of the cases where you would just wrong before.
- 2:20:12[UNKNOWN]: I think you just underestimating, I think fundamentally what has happened there is just the underestimation of like just how much of a cockroach Japanese wrestling promotions can actually be.
- 2:20:23[UNKNOWN]: Because Japanese wrestling promotions can engage in some like prime fucking cockroach behavior.
- 2:20:31[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's your or one still exists.
- 2:20:32[UNKNOWN]: Yes, exactly.
- 2:20:33[UNKNOWN]: And it's thriving on Ghibli.
- 2:20:36[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I don't know, like, it's very, it's like to me where I look at it too because it's like, obviously, you know, I've been a fan a long time now.
- 2:20:46[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, almost as long as Jay, honestly, because I like early 2000s, I was like a fucking preaching when I was, you know, getting into this stuff.
- 2:20:53[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:20:55[UNKNOWN]: I, you know, I've seen a lot of promotions get bigger and smaller, and I've seen a lot of whole scenes get bigger and smaller.
- 2:21:01[UNKNOWN]: I've seen dry and gay be, you know, dry and get cut back some day and I haven't said and I won't.
- 2:21:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:21:06[UNKNOWN]: And like, Yoshi was fucking dead at one point.
- 2:21:08[UNKNOWN]: Like, basically there's close to being dead as you could be without actually just completely dying.
- 2:21:13[UNKNOWN]: And now it's like fucking thriving compared to the rest of the scene.
- 2:21:16[UNKNOWN]: I mean, now it's doing, you know, we're talking about promotions that are doing some of the best numbers in the country.
- 2:21:21[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and you know things and they things can like you know they can uh Evan flow I mean, I don't think Japanese wrestling as a whole.
- 2:21:30[UNKNOWN]: I would be as popular as it was but guess what for as much money as it fucking makes because we have this fucking bullshit TV system American wrestling will probably never be as popular as it was in the 90s either.
- 2:21:40[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so like on it was in the fucking 80s and 70s I'd like on like a grandest scale, you know
- 2:21:48[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:21:49[UNKNOWN]: I mean, like all this stuff, the trend line of professional wrestling for all of our lifetimes has been down.
- 2:21:56[UNKNOWN]: worldwide.
- 2:21:57[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:21:57[UNKNOWN]: So that's just, that's just the thing.
- 2:21:58[UNKNOWN]: The trend line of most things are down worldwide because people can fucking endlessly scroll their phones and that's what most people choose to do at their time.
- 2:22:07[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, that's one other thing where this is like getting to a whole different ramp.
- 2:22:11[UNKNOWN]: But when I repeat people and the rest of them is overhauling, channel, start talking about how, well, you know, I can't, I can't vote for this modern
- 2:22:18[UNKNOWN]: Japanese wrestling because look at they don't draw like the people to past you.
- 2:22:22[UNKNOWN]: Nobody draws like people in the past do.
- 2:22:25[UNKNOWN]: That's not a fucking thing.
- 2:22:28[UNKNOWN]: Like the people no one in the 1980s was competing with the entire history of fucking entertainment available on every connected device in every single home.
- 2:22:39[UNKNOWN]: That's the competition for today.
- 2:22:41[UNKNOWN]: It's a little bit different in the 1985 when you had six TV channels or you could go outside.
- 2:22:46[UNKNOWN]: Those are pretty much your options.
- 2:22:48[UNKNOWN]: It's a little different now.
- 2:22:50[UNKNOWN]: So the fact even 1998, you did not have the kind of shit you have now, obviously.
- 2:22:56[UNKNOWN]: So like, it's just very, very different.
- 2:22:59[UNKNOWN]: People are competing with fucking devices that would have been science fiction to anyone who was alive in the 1980s and like a live and also like, you know, able to
- 2:23:09[UNKNOWN]: Not a baby, it doesn't work.
- 2:23:11[UNKNOWN]: Like you wouldn't even consider science fiction, because if you compare a smartphone to a fucking Star Trek communicator, a smartphone is just like an insane level of technology up from what the fucking Star Trek communicators were.
- 2:23:28[UNKNOWN]: You know?
- 2:23:28[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so like they didn't even imagine this stuff.
- 2:23:31[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so what you're saying is what you're basically saying.
- 2:23:32[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, basically.
- 2:23:33[UNKNOWN]: That is like we went on a little bit of a, we really want a right here.
- 2:23:37[UNKNOWN]: But like yeah, I mean it's like, so I don't know.
- 2:23:39[UNKNOWN]: I think people, people are simultaneously too hard on the scenes as a whole.
- 2:23:44[UNKNOWN]: And yes, American rest in pageway better because American resting is a fucking griffed to fucking griff these fucking companies out of their fucking media money.
- 2:23:52[UNKNOWN]: They're not really, if you really look at what these companies draw in attendance, especially now at WWE's fucking hot streak is over.
- 2:24:00[UNKNOWN]: They don't draw that well for fucking the size of the countries they are, especially compared to Japan.
- 2:24:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:24:05[UNKNOWN]: I mean, they really don't.
- 2:24:07[UNKNOWN]: So, like what does the WWE TV do?
- 2:24:08[UNKNOWN]: Like 4,000 people?
- 2:24:11[UNKNOWN]: It's like it's Zach when a country of 300 million people.
- 2:24:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so it's not like it's really, it's like date.
- 2:24:17[UNKNOWN]: Because when you see people also like, you know, talk about how all they get all these streaming numbers on max.
- 2:24:22[UNKNOWN]: And it's like streaming numbers are fucking bullshit if this if they're actually getting the number of people to stream their fucking thing their fucking show and they're only drawing like, you know, somewhere between three and five thousand or most of these TV tapings.
- 2:24:35[UNKNOWN]: Then these fucking thing that you got to ask you to every what the fuck is wrong with your TV then, because then they're drawing like, you know, fucking TNA levels of people to their fucking shows.
- 2:24:45[UNKNOWN]: But, yeah, I don't know, just like, yeah, obviously, AWS do better.
- 2:24:50[UNKNOWN]: But like, you know, like the same number of people were in all the building at all end, then it's worth less okay, they were apparently.
- 2:24:56[UNKNOWN]: Zach was at, it was like 48, the terms that I was like 41,000.
- 2:24:59[UNKNOWN]: What was best okay, like 44, 45, right?
- 2:25:02[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:25:04[UNKNOWN]: And that looked a lot fuller.
- 2:25:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:25:07[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you're at your right balls.
- 2:25:08[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it was a loaf of linch me.
- 2:25:11[UNKNOWN]: I literally have one to one comparison.
- 2:25:13[UNKNOWN]: I looked at both videos.
- 2:25:14[UNKNOWN]: And also I was at previous all-in, instead we're way full of it in this one.
- 2:25:18[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:25:19[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know.
- 2:25:20[UNKNOWN]: She's like, when people start doing about, if I guess American Wrestling has way more money, everybody knows that.
- 2:25:25[UNKNOWN]: But like for popularity level, I don't really think there's that big of a fucking difference.
- 2:25:30[UNKNOWN]: But just they have better TV slots, too.
- 2:25:33[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, so people like doom about America, like okay, here's a great one.
- 2:25:38[UNKNOWN]: Psycho time is all like every fucking TV show ever invented lately.
- 2:25:42[UNKNOWN]: It feels like in Japan, if you ask a random Japanese first on the street, they might be more like they know who Psycho amitani is than an American, but no who Roman Reigns is.
- 2:25:51[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, that's- This is decent.
- 2:25:53[UNKNOWN]: That's actually a good point, yeah.
- 2:25:55[UNKNOWN]: I never actually really considered that, yeah.
- 2:25:58[UNKNOWN]: So like, I don't know, it's very, it's very different cultures and everything, a very different, you know, different, like setups, but like, I don't know.
- 2:26:06[UNKNOWN]: But I guess the point where I was like the, I think the dry and deep stuff gets, people who look at Japanese wrestling and suicide to dry and get, I think have more of a doom perspective than people don't, or specifically a slash primarily.
- 2:26:18[UNKNOWN]: To be quite frank, there's only one promotion right now in Japan that deserves a proper doom perspective.
- 2:26:28[UNKNOWN]: And somehow they're still going.
- 2:26:29[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, but it's not... Yeah.
- 2:26:34[UNKNOWN]: They're gonna, they do feel like they're gonna die.
- 2:26:36[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they do feel like they're gonna die.
- 2:26:38[UNKNOWN]: I feel like they're gonna die.
- 2:26:39[UNKNOWN]: Should I try?
- 2:26:40[UNKNOWN]: Maybe I should get to that new year's Eve shows.
- 2:26:42[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:26:43[UNKNOWN]: Like, I'm happy I did actually attend a show if there's this year where I'm like, okay, I actually cross that off, where it's like...
- 2:26:49[UNKNOWN]: It's a new year's Eve show.
- 2:26:50[UNKNOWN]: I feel like they're more likely to die than greatest to die.
- 2:26:54[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, I think of the show as a force, I don't have to say it, I have to go into one before they die.
- 2:26:59[UNKNOWN]: But just to go to one again before they die, I guess, will be there like it.
- 2:27:02[UNKNOWN]: But then New Year's Eve is so tough for me because I go to, I mean, you were, you were there at me for a while.
- 2:27:07[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, we were literally debating should we just go to fucking like baked Japan after we go to all Japan, because I want to jump like that way through.
- 2:27:16[UNKNOWN]: Because I went to Ribbon Mania, and then, yeah, then I go to Al Jepan, you're Yogi, which is the same thing I'm doing this year.
- 2:27:22[UNKNOWN]: I already have my tickets of all of them.
- 2:27:24[UNKNOWN]: And then I go to the fucking club moguer for doing this year.
- 2:27:27[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, exactly.
- 2:27:28[UNKNOWN]: And we're like, no, let's just go to the club instead instead of going to pick your first thing.
- 2:27:33[UNKNOWN]: It was so, but so that I have to try to like squeeze another thing on that day, like a fourth thing, which it is a lot.
- 2:27:39[UNKNOWN]: So you just do what I do, which is massively oversleep on that day,
- 2:27:46[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, there you go.
- 2:27:48[UNKNOWN]: All right, we should review the strategy shows.
- 2:27:50[UNKNOWN]: Yes, it opens up to me.
- 2:27:52[UNKNOWN]: Just be.
- 2:27:54[UNKNOWN]: Right day per a house semifinal number one.
- 2:27:57[UNKNOWN]: Watch you know, first of the dark match.
- 2:27:58[UNKNOWN]: Real food, I beat Tristan Moody in two minutes and 20 seconds.
- 2:28:05[UNKNOWN]: Um, apparently Fudah is trying to join Gajah Dirkuro, but isn't an official member yet.
- 2:28:10[UNKNOWN]: I won't even jay on commentary seem to be confused by this, so.
- 2:28:14[UNKNOWN]: Definitely wasn't any clear to me, parachuting of my first show in the world.
- 2:28:17[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know, like Fudah also, it's like one of those guys, which like, it's kind of time to like, shit, or get off the part with him, but it's just like... Yeah, they said he was a clashmate of... Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!
- 2:28:32[UNKNOWN]: I was like, oh my god.
- 2:28:34[UNKNOWN]: Like, each of us don't so much fucking shit in this promotion.
- 2:28:38[UNKNOWN]: And Fuder is still kind of stuck at Nick Youngboy, like status for like an absurd amount of time.
- 2:28:44[UNKNOWN]: It's, ah.
- 2:28:48[UNKNOWN]: Tristan did a nice dive before to start the camera angle and fortunately showed us a lot of empty orange seats And it wasn't before the show actor started to be fair, but wow, they were a lot of them at that point Food up on the way that much trouble with electric chair drop thing if I guess is his move It was okay two and three quarters.
- 2:29:05[UNKNOWN]: It's like two and a half minutes, so
- 2:29:08[UNKNOWN]: The O-Actual Bento Opener, the RayDapray House, semi-final, LCLO, and Luis Montague beat Susuma, Yucosca, and Cagatoria.
- 2:29:17[UNKNOWN]: It was Luis Montague beating Susumo in 1020 with the Super T-Gray.
- 2:29:21[UNKNOWN]: Um, I had, like again, the, the best started a little bit slow, Sheila was working a headlock, but it did quickly pick up with a huge side to the floor by CLO, and I get it's a hard game side, but they should consider dying a different side of the ring tonight, unless they want to keep showing us a lot of empty seats, because it was like, right, every time they can work on a very exciting closing stretch, saw a month, I get the pen over zoom out, nowhere with the Rhona roll up the super t-grade.
- 2:29:46[UNKNOWN]: Good stuff, three and a half, you know, nothing
- 2:29:52[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, nothing special here.
- 2:29:54[UNKNOWN]: It's, I have my issues with the, like, at least for more than a year with, like, I mean, it's actually, well, actually both members of the winning team here.
- 2:30:05[UNKNOWN]: But I feel like that's more fair to, like, save that for the main event to be honest.
- 2:30:12[UNKNOWN]: the other semi-final this one I don't like this is my even the biggest gap between my review me me me me watching and reading cases if you I don't know how this he had this match was a good match.
- 2:30:21[UNKNOWN]: I was like what the it was assuming you have a ukeo shioka and kota menorah beating ishian and yoshi kakado menorah putting ishian and 114 through the inside cradle
- 2:30:31[UNKNOWN]: Not to like call out case or anything, case cases are good too, but like I just while I've read that review, I was like, wow, I thought this might have sucked.
- 2:30:38[UNKNOWN]: It was really boring most of the way, and there's a fun bonus the crack dragging the production crew fucking missed the finish, because food ahead manure in the back with a box, the camera for some reason decided to spend like an hour zooming in on him not doing anything after he did that, and when you finally come back to the ring, manure somehow had
- 2:30:58[UNKNOWN]: We never saw how we went from getting hit with a box to suddenly paying the other guy.
- 2:31:03[UNKNOWN]: Right?
- 2:31:03[UNKNOWN]: Did we?
- 2:31:04[UNKNOWN]: I don't think we did.
- 2:31:04[UNKNOWN]: I didn't even round it.
- 2:31:05[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah.
- 2:31:06[UNKNOWN]: No, no, no, we didn't.
- 2:31:08[UNKNOWN]: See, oh, yeah.
- 2:31:09[UNKNOWN]: I went one of the half stars.
- 2:31:10[UNKNOWN]: I gave extra bonus points off for literally not showing us the finish.
- 2:31:13[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, this was pretty bad.
- 2:31:15[UNKNOWN]: I might be like basically like in the middle between you and Casey.
- 2:31:28[UNKNOWN]: I mean, like the always story here is that like the penis team, sorry, I'm just, that's just what I'm going to call this faction, that's what they are.
- 2:31:37[UNKNOWN]: Yes, it's supposed to be seen if, but like, look, it's penis.
- 2:31:44[UNKNOWN]: And why would make two new factions with weird ex names?
- 2:31:48[UNKNOWN]: Because they are.
- 2:31:50[UNKNOWN]: No, like quite literally, like quite literally, like J told us.
- 2:31:54[UNKNOWN]: J put out a Twitter post saying, somebody forgot to change the prompt and that's why these two faction names are so similar.
- 2:32:02[UNKNOWN]: So why did you do the fucking game?
- 2:32:05[UNKNOWN]: Like if you're going to be so lazy to use AI, it's not that hard, you're just fucking pop the fucking robot again.
- 2:32:10[UNKNOWN]: Look, that just gets way too far if we wanna have a chat about that and channel, we're gonna spend like the next hour on this.
- 2:32:18[UNKNOWN]: But it's just the general- Okay, you go to all the trouble.
- 2:32:22[UNKNOWN]: You're actually using AI for all your shit.
- 2:32:24[UNKNOWN]: What is the only actual upside to this?
- 2:32:27[UNKNOWN]: Is that it's not a real person and you don't have to worry about inconveniencing it by going back and making it do the same work twice.
- 2:32:34[UNKNOWN]: So just fucking pop the robot again.
- 2:32:36[UNKNOWN]: No, but the whole use it the way that the whole fucking thing about using AI is that you're lazy piece of shit who doesn't care So yeah, I even bought it.
- 2:32:45[UNKNOWN]: You're in a problem.
- 2:32:46[UNKNOWN]: Exactly.
- 2:32:47[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I guess you got to make a good point.
- 2:32:49[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, exactly.
- 2:32:52[UNKNOWN]: Because that's my whole issue with drawing it right now, where it's just like it just feels insanely fucking lazy.
- 2:32:58[UNKNOWN]: All of it.
- 2:32:59[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah.
- 2:33:00[UNKNOWN]: There's just no fucking effort, no passion being put into anything.
- 2:33:04[UNKNOWN]: And like the faction names is like anti-faction logos, anti-fucking show names, and all of that it's just like Very much just a symptom of the malaise that it's just over this motion It would be better to have no no show names like starting does then fucking have one dinner this bad You talk with a heck though passkill over to fucking Tokyo fucking Pedro Pascal.
- 2:33:26[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, exactly like I don't know like it's like Jesus fucking Christ
- 2:33:31[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this match was fine for the most part.
- 2:33:34[UNKNOWN]: And obviously, it was like a rematch of the, of the, uh, Kobe World Show and everything.
- 2:33:41[UNKNOWN]: So like the penis, like team got like, they went back and everything.
- 2:33:45[UNKNOWN]: So that's why for me, like it made sense.
- 2:33:48[UNKNOWN]: And everything, like it wasn't a great match, but at least like,
- 2:33:52[UNKNOWN]: they like made the right call with the like result and everything.
- 2:33:56[UNKNOWN]: So it was it ended up being fine essentially.
- 2:34:00[UNKNOWN]: It's the f-but that's I can say about this.
- 2:34:04[UNKNOWN]: Afterward, Eastern Invite of Food officially joined Gajr Dekaro and Food has said he needs some time to think about it now.
- 2:34:09[UNKNOWN]: Okay, why not like he wanted to draw he was fucking like soliciting Gadotokaro I guess I want to join them and then they asked them do you want to join and he's like, I got to think on that and I That
- 2:34:25[UNKNOWN]: I guess the idea, right, and Jay did say this on the counter, is like, he's like fucking with them now, because they fucked with him or originally didn't want to join.
- 2:34:34[UNKNOWN]: We have other people, like kicker with him.
- 2:34:37[UNKNOWN]: But like, okay, but I guess that means he's not going to join.
- 2:34:41[UNKNOWN]: I guess not.
- 2:34:42[UNKNOWN]: But what if you'd expect us to care where this guy's been a young line for four years, John, it's just, I don't, because I, because I don't.
- 2:34:48[UNKNOWN]: No.
- 2:34:49[UNKNOWN]: Match 3, Dawn Fuji, Toro washi, and Punstomonaga be Ultimo Dragon, Masaki mojizuki, and Jiro Shimbashi, Fuji Beach Shimbashi, and 551 when he gave up due to being scared the godfiled driver.
- 2:35:02[UNKNOWN]: Um, okay.
- 2:35:04[UNKNOWN]: I first I was like, oh, if your boss is fine doing something other than the singles match and one of these shows, that's great because if it's like every month at the court, you know, the watch of Shimbachi singles match, I was very over it.
- 2:35:14[UNKNOWN]: Unfortunately, I still found this to be more boring than funny.
- 2:35:16[UNKNOWN]: So I may just be permanently sick of zero stick at this point.
- 2:35:20[UNKNOWN]: No matter singles or six fan tag.
- 2:35:22[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I was very short.
- 2:35:31[UNKNOWN]: It was the two of them in his power driver's store and like that was funny, but I mean, Suzuki's always funny in comedy, so it makes sense.
- 2:35:38[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Suzuki, you know, so he zero-tees you want to use a God-style power driver on Fuji, since he's facing me an older next week, and Fuji turned it around and went for it on him, and he just submitted immediately to avoid taking it.
- 2:35:50[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, two stars definitely wasn't good.
- 2:35:55[UNKNOWN]: I am somewhat, okay, I'm not gonna do it because I realized that the whole portion of it is just much longer than I thought it was, this my original idea for like this match was to just read out cases review of it.
- 2:36:11[UNKNOWN]: But it is actually a lot longer than I thought of this, but it's really, it's really, he's fucking nailed that one.
- 2:36:20[UNKNOWN]: I have to say, yeah, no, this is not very good.
- 2:36:24[UNKNOWN]: Oh, he, well, okay.
- 2:36:25[UNKNOWN]: So, Casey, if you're been at great point, you're running a fucking,
- 2:36:29[UNKNOWN]: older war gym show in six days where as I just went over, it looks like it's selling terribly.
- 2:36:34[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:36:35[UNKNOWN]: And you spent more of your show building up Giro and his fucking comedy opponent on the next two shows and anything else.
- 2:36:42[UNKNOWN]: The Giro comedy opponent for next month at Corrigan is the only thing on Corrigan they teach for next month, they think.
- 2:36:48[UNKNOWN]: they didn't do anything else.
- 2:36:50[UNKNOWN]: After the match, Suzuki seemed hit, which we had a meal, which was Jesus Christ Randy.
- 2:36:56[UNKNOWN]: We had a meal that show.
- 2:36:58[UNKNOWN]: And the first we came out there wasn't Suzuki.
- 2:36:59[UNKNOWN]: When you get this no re-reader reason to mute that, because Melona Suzuki owns the usage rights to that fucking female because the fucking singer told him that he can use the female.
- 2:37:09[UNKNOWN]: She wrote it for him.
- 2:37:10[UNKNOWN]: Why do you need to mute that?
- 2:37:11[UNKNOWN]: That's no fucking re-interviewed that female.
- 2:37:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, well, I guess nobody told them, I guess, I don't know.
- 2:37:17[UNKNOWN]: Um, but the person who came out was not Suzuki.
- 2:37:20[UNKNOWN]: It was shin menores Suzuki.
- 2:37:22[UNKNOWN]: So I will say it was amazing costume by Hirota as always.
- 2:37:25[UNKNOWN]: Uh, she used the current Warigate Champion.
- 2:37:27[UNKNOWN]: She wanted a marvelous show earlier this year.
- 2:37:29[UNKNOWN]: Lister said, this podcast knew that.
- 2:37:31[UNKNOWN]: Because I was 20.
- 2:37:32[UNKNOWN]: And I reviewed that Marlinson.
- 2:37:34[UNKNOWN]: Caste did say on his interview.
- 2:37:35[UNKNOWN]: He had no idea that happened.
- 2:37:36[UNKNOWN]: I was like, case, I put it on my podcast.
- 2:37:39[UNKNOWN]: And also, I think I put it in the Dragon Gate Channel of the Discord to tell everybody, it'll tell if you can tap it.
- 2:37:45[UNKNOWN]: She won it in a three way.
- 2:37:46[UNKNOWN]: It was her, Josuke Santamaria, who is the champion and Maria, the actual, like, marvelous wrestler.
- 2:37:53[UNKNOWN]: And Maria won the match, but she did not want the stupid title.
- 2:37:56[UNKNOWN]: She actually got mad that was her first title.
- 2:37:58[UNKNOWN]: So she got mad at the crowd for giving it to her and like, through her down left.
- 2:38:01[UNKNOWN]: And they had to do a second, like, crowd appeal and of course, Shin Sakarota fucking destroy Josuke Santamaria.
- 2:38:06[UNKNOWN]: And she won the crowd appeal.
- 2:38:08[UNKNOWN]: and won the title.
- 2:38:10[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, they set that up.
- 2:38:13[UNKNOWN]: But I was in use when she came out, but then talking felt like a one-on forever.
- 2:38:18[UNKNOWN]: And then GM Rio Saito comes out.
- 2:38:20[UNKNOWN]: And he's like, you know, Jero, if you survive the real Menorsesirky, you'll can get a shot to bring the Oregon backstrait and gay.
- 2:38:26[UNKNOWN]: It's so happened October 2nd, of course.
- 2:38:29[UNKNOWN]: They, again, they spent significantly more time building this than anything else in the show.
- 2:38:34[UNKNOWN]: The fucking Dreamgate match got zero bills on this show, but we had plenty of bills for Shinsaka Rowan versus Giro Shimbashi, just incredibly bizarre.
- 2:38:48[UNKNOWN]: I think it's just my general problem of all of these, like Giro's things, right?
- 2:38:54[UNKNOWN]: Do you remember like when we went to the, uh, to the Kobe-Samehawk outro?
- 2:39:01[UNKNOWN]: And there was just this like fucking endless, like, gero, like segment with, um, uh, with Shun Sky Walker where like, it felt like it, they were just like going for like forever, like just like,
- 2:39:21[UNKNOWN]: like, just shoot, just cutting this like absolutely endless promo at Gioro and it just seemed like it would never end and everything and then they had just like very brief, very
- 2:39:38[UNKNOWN]: No, I didn't, I think it was like 30 seconds.
- 2:39:40[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it was 30 seconds.
- 2:39:41[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, right.
- 2:39:41[UNKNOWN]: It was just shooting against Finisher.
- 2:39:43[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:39:43[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:39:44[UNKNOWN]: I was like, that was the last, that was the last train gate shooting skywalker match I've ever saw and ever we'll see it, right?
- 2:39:49[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, finally, though, yeah.
- 2:39:51[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:39:52[UNKNOWN]: Very funny.
- 2:39:53[UNKNOWN]: But again, but it feels like we've never moved on from that kind of thing, but just like,
- 2:40:00[UNKNOWN]: Geo just gets like an absolutely like absurd amount of time on these shows for like I mean I meant I meant I meant in person in person is the last shoot the first I It was the last shoot in Skywalker match I've ever seen person probably in drag Yes, so yeah, because I didn't go anywhere near me in June.
- 2:40:17[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it wasn't it wasn't for me because I went to the
- 2:40:24[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, they spent, they spent in a ridiculous amount of time.
- 2:40:27[UNKNOWN]: I don't remember them spending, maybe they did.
- 2:40:30[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:40:31[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they were spending.
- 2:40:32[UNKNOWN]: Oh, let's talk, I didn't get this much time.
- 2:40:33[UNKNOWN]: Talk, I didn't get this much time.
- 2:40:34[UNKNOWN]: I didn't get this much time.
- 2:40:35[UNKNOWN]: No, I think it times you did, because he was like in crazy max at one point in shit.
- 2:40:39[UNKNOWN]: They were like, they didn't all sorts of weird stuff with him.
- 2:40:42[UNKNOWN]: But he never did like a thing where like the only match buildup for like an older ward.
- 2:40:46[UNKNOWN]: So we were the fucking stalker match.
- 2:40:50[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:40:50[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:40:51[UNKNOWN]: Well, the rest of promotion was actually built.
- 2:40:53[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:40:53[UNKNOWN]: Like we actually did stuff for the right.
- 2:40:55[UNKNOWN]: Like it was very ankle-haired promotion in general.
- 2:40:58[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, proportional, it was nowhere near.
- 2:41:00[UNKNOWN]: But it felt like, it feels like I'm modern-drangate shows, like this is often the only thing they may care about.
- 2:41:06[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, that's why you're- Okay, I might be about to say something that is basically heresy.
- 2:41:14[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 2:41:15[UNKNOWN]: You know what this promotion is missing?
- 2:41:19[UNKNOWN]: Shima?
- 2:41:20[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:41:24[UNKNOWN]: I see where you're going with this, I think.
- 2:41:26[UNKNOWN]: Right?
- 2:41:28[UNKNOWN]: I know the production values were a lot better, and she was around.
- 2:41:31[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they were.
- 2:41:34[UNKNOWN]: Like there was a lot more care of being put into like everything, essentially.
- 2:41:38[UNKNOWN]: Trangay has, I realize it's what I was watching.
- 2:41:40[UNKNOWN]: Like I just watched some ice-robin before this, which is another promotion that goes very clearly does it has to do their own production.
- 2:41:46[UNKNOWN]: And by the way, I sure would just have gay or a TV.
- 2:41:49[UNKNOWN]: Like back in them.
- 2:41:50[UNKNOWN]: Ice-robin production is better than Trangay.
- 2:41:51[UNKNOWN]: So not even kidding.
- 2:41:52[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, I mean, I don't like turning it to production.
- 2:41:54[UNKNOWN]: It's fucking like it's like literally like bottom of the barrel in Japan right now.
- 2:41:59[UNKNOWN]: Like it's, I don't get why it's so, I eat why it's so much worse than anybody else.
- 2:42:03[UNKNOWN]: Like the other like independent emotions we want to compare it to like I showed it's better Marvelous is better like I can't think of anyone who's worth the drawing like these are obviously very clearly indie promotions yeah that the shoot these shows one is better zero I'm sure I will watch it really this year but I'm sure and yeah and these for oceans like they do a better job I don't know what the fact trying to get done is with these production but they you know the production you made this dreaming service whereas somehow it was already not good like
- 2:42:31[UNKNOWN]: Dreg, like, like, the Dreg is streaming service before the renewal was already not, it was already bad and now it's just awful like it's like I don't know how you actually meant to make this one worse.
- 2:42:44[UNKNOWN]: It is something.
- 2:42:45[UNKNOWN]: Alright, we gotta keep going, we'll never get to the next one.
- 2:42:48[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, six rentag, Genki Harguchi, Ashushi Kanda and Kini Chaurai beat Madoka Kikuta Kai and Jason Lee, Genki Pin Kai and two, four year at the backslifem heaven.
- 2:43:00[UNKNOWN]: uh... two-and-a-half stars i don't know what you want to say about two-and-a-half minute match with the old people one i don't know no the the drag event sure seem to hate the old people getting partial say that i mean it's fair i don't feel like i don't i don't it's fair i don't i don't have the level of current care about twenty twenty six-strangate to get mad the way they do but they they really get mad
- 2:43:21[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's just canky mania keeps running wild.
- 2:43:25[UNKNOWN]: And it's just like, two minutes 40 as well.
- 2:43:28[UNKNOWN]: Like, this is how you're going to set up your fucking triangle gauge.
- 2:43:31[UNKNOWN]: Like, match.
- 2:43:32[UNKNOWN]: It's like two minutes 40.
- 2:43:35[UNKNOWN]: Well, yeah, their case had a point in the review, I didn't even think until he said it.
- 2:43:38[UNKNOWN]: Like, it seems like this year for some reason, guys who don't grow old, always goes up to five.
- 2:43:42[UNKNOWN]: Almost always goes up to five.
- 2:43:42[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's the other thing.
- 2:43:43[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:43:44[UNKNOWN]: Like, do the... Don't get long matches at all.
- 2:43:47[UNKNOWN]: It's weird.
- 2:43:48[UNKNOWN]: Very strange.
- 2:43:50[UNKNOWN]: Your motto is to give you a 20th anniversary of moral match, part two.
- 2:43:53[UNKNOWN]: Special exhibition went to a 10 minute time in the mid-drable.
- 2:43:55[UNKNOWN]: He did talk a monma who was like, an MMA guy.
- 2:44:00[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
- 2:44:01[UNKNOWN]: He was your model's trainer before trying to get him pancreas.
- 2:44:04[UNKNOWN]: He cares.
- 2:44:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:44:06[UNKNOWN]: That's a fuck.
- 2:44:07[UNKNOWN]: This was just 10 minutes of not all exciting Matt wrestling.
- 2:44:11[UNKNOWN]: Like, if you want to see somebody do this kind of style and actually how it'd be good, turn on the 18 and watch Jenny how you okay.
- 2:44:18[UNKNOWN]: Because he does everything I could think of as Ben and was way better than this.
- 2:44:23[UNKNOWN]: Um, I was really bored with this, not what I want to see.
- 2:44:26[UNKNOWN]: It's definitely a part of a fucking drag and gay show.
- 2:44:28[UNKNOWN]: That's for sure.
- 2:44:29[UNKNOWN]: And the wife, I will be fair to lie.
- 2:44:31[UNKNOWN]: The live ground I threw seemed to end to it.
- 2:44:33[UNKNOWN]: So I guess they disagree with me.
- 2:44:34[UNKNOWN]: But I was like, board shitless.
- 2:44:37[UNKNOWN]: I went like two and a quarter.
- 2:44:38[UNKNOWN]: Even that feels a little generous.
- 2:44:40[UNKNOWN]: Like, especially once we came out, just going to Tyler draws, like, can we just get this over with please?
- 2:44:44[UNKNOWN]: And why was this your motto's build to a fucking dream gate title you got made of net on the next show.
- 2:44:50[UNKNOWN]: Casey was an afterthought in the next six minute tag.
- 2:44:52[UNKNOWN]: He really had nothing or ten minute tag was like nine minutes.
- 2:44:56[UNKNOWN]: And your motto was doing a ten minute time of draw with his teacher.
- 2:44:58[UNKNOWN]: That has nothing to do with anything.
- 2:44:59[UNKNOWN]: Like how is that your final build?
- 2:45:02[UNKNOWN]: And like case again in the review was saying they built it on the fucking rest of the door.
- 2:45:05[UNKNOWN]: We're in Tokyo.
- 2:45:07[UNKNOWN]: The show is six days away.
- 2:45:08[UNKNOWN]: Why are you not building your Tokyo Old Award gym main event?
- 2:45:11[UNKNOWN]: I'm your fucking Tokyo Corp and Haw show.
- 2:45:14[UNKNOWN]: Like you didn't even get a face of like if you had leased at like Yamato like like running after like the next match and they like like he faced up with KZ and they have like a stare or whatever, there's at least something there.
- 2:45:27[UNKNOWN]: Like instead we just get this fucking self-indulgent bullshit.
- 2:45:31[UNKNOWN]: That's what this was.
- 2:45:32[UNKNOWN]: It was self-indulgent bullshit of Yamato being like, hey look here's my trainer like I don't give a shit.
- 2:45:40[UNKNOWN]: I don't care.
- 2:45:43[UNKNOWN]: Like, you don't have to do this on a current control.
- 2:45:46[UNKNOWN]: Do this on any fucking house show you want to.
- 2:45:51[UNKNOWN]: Like, do this in, like, I don't know, fucking evater prefecture, whatever the fuck.
- 2:45:56[UNKNOWN]: I don't care.
- 2:45:57[UNKNOWN]: Don't do this in current can.
- 2:45:59[UNKNOWN]: There's no point, nobody cares.
- 2:46:02[UNKNOWN]: Like, it's just...
- 2:46:03[UNKNOWN]: I mean, a crowd just seemed like I wanted to.
- 2:46:05[UNKNOWN]: It did, but it's still like...
- 2:46:09[UNKNOWN]: like nobody bought a ticket to like your next picture because of this.
- 2:46:13[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah.
- 2:46:14[UNKNOWN]: That's why not.
- 2:46:16[UNKNOWN]: Like if you like even if you want to do this at the next curtain, after you are much of a challenge for title, that's fine.
- 2:46:24[UNKNOWN]: Don't do this at the one before he challenges for title.
- 2:46:27[UNKNOWN]: That's all I'm asking for.
- 2:46:29[UNKNOWN]: I totally agree.
- 2:46:31[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Ted Mantag, the natural vibes team of, I don't know, the law is actually loving peace.
- 2:46:37[UNKNOWN]: Love me, peace team of Fio, Jackie Kamay, Rita, Mochizuki Jr. and Gianni, Myeong-Mongveleta, I guess is now in this unit, news to me.
- 2:46:45[UNKNOWN]: They beat natural vibes, KZ, Stromersine J, UT, Gucci, and Flamita.
- 2:46:50[UNKNOWN]: It was full of the lead up hitting UT-845 with the King Kong lead drop.
- 2:46:54[UNKNOWN]: Um, it is fucking I don't know how many times I'm going to go through this.
- 2:46:58[UNKNOWN]: I mean, maybe I should just like play a recording.
- 2:46:59[UNKNOWN]: I could do it.
- 2:47:00[UNKNOWN]: How is raw machine J still just here as a sensible leader of you and he's in no way.
- 2:47:07[UNKNOWN]: He's never been and never will be the leader of.
- 2:47:11[UNKNOWN]: Like, Jay mentioning it, just felt so absurd.
- 2:47:15[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, KZ is the fucking dreamgate champion.
- 2:47:18[UNKNOWN]: He's wrapping this unit after the ring.
- 2:47:21[UNKNOWN]: He's an actual person, I didn't want to watch him give this shit about.
- 2:47:24[UNKNOWN]: Strong machine J is the fucking leader.
- 2:47:28[UNKNOWN]: If I proclaim myself, the fucking cleaner England, I might have more claim to the throne than strong machine J has to be the fucking leader of this unit.
- 2:47:40[UNKNOWN]: Like, this is ridiculous.
- 2:47:41[UNKNOWN]: Yes, no, it's a search.
- 2:47:44[UNKNOWN]: It has been absurd.
- 2:47:47[UNKNOWN]: It always has, this is even more absurd now because KZ is the fucking over in the dream game champion who just won the belt at the Kobe World Men event and the extra opportunity to join the leader.
- 2:47:56[UNKNOWN]: The leader of what?
- 2:47:58[UNKNOWN]: And what way is he the leader?
- 2:48:00[UNKNOWN]: Again, like you could say you're the leader of anything and you might have more of a claim to it than he has to be leader of fucking natural vibes.
- 2:48:08[UNKNOWN]: When what way does he ever perform the function of being the leader of this unit?
- 2:48:14[UNKNOWN]: Like it just bakes no sense, though.
- 2:48:17[UNKNOWN]: He looks like such a dork with the, oh, the leader of fucking the leader of natural vibes, lucky to keep right dances during the entrance.
- 2:48:26[UNKNOWN]: Like, oh, he woke good for him.
- 2:48:28[UNKNOWN]: What else does he do to be the leader?
- 2:48:30[UNKNOWN]: I don't really, heo, drags Gianni out in his chain, only for the theme song to meet Lee Switch, the old Zebra, it's same as he went for him, page of the crowd, that was fucking fine.
- 2:48:39[UNKNOWN]: I did laugh with that.
- 2:48:42[UNKNOWN]: This finally match six of seven this finally felt like a drying gate match everybody flying all over the place.
- 2:48:49[UNKNOWN]: I was like, thank you God Unfortunately, when nine minutes and the fast-paced stuff just kind of stopped for Gianni repeatedly slamming his own teammates on the people and then delivered his knee drop for the pen
- 2:49:00[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I was enjoying this greatly and then just kind of spotted out forward to the end.
- 2:49:04[UNKNOWN]: I'm still good.
- 2:49:04[UNKNOWN]: I just still like three and a half, but like why they take until math six of excuse me, six of eight to get something that finally felt like anything was not going to try and get match.
- 2:49:12[UNKNOWN]: I don't understand.
- 2:49:13[UNKNOWN]: I can get show.
- 2:49:14[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 2:49:17[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, I thought this was fine for the most part.
- 2:49:23[UNKNOWN]: Probably one of the better matches on the show, which is not fucking saying a lot.
- 2:49:28[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:49:29[UNKNOWN]: I am also still like, I am just not like, again, I've seen Gianni Valeta for years in all Japan and he's just kind of enough in wrestler and I'm not gonna get like fucking
- 2:49:46[UNKNOWN]: Like I'm not gonna get gas lit by Dragon Gate fans at believing that he's like more than he actually is.
- 2:49:52[UNKNOWN]: Like he's gonna be fair and say I loved his match in the, I thought the final of the fucking King of Gate last year and then his title shotguns, Kikuta, was actually really good.
- 2:50:03[UNKNOWN]: But that's like that might be the one time I saw it.
- 2:50:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and I assume you probably would have had a good match against like can't do me a horror if you had ever actually gotten that title shot that you earned by like beating him like twice in like don't know about just
- 2:50:18[UNKNOWN]: Uh, whatever you never got that.
- 2:50:20[UNKNOWN]: Um, but so like it's like he joined like love and peace and everything and like I don't know a day he will get to her in a second.
- 2:50:27[UNKNOWN]: So the post match they invited the joy and love and peace.
- 2:50:30[UNKNOWN]: I'm like I thought he was in already.
- 2:50:32[UNKNOWN]: He's a fucking dick name beyond money.
- 2:50:33[UNKNOWN]: Whatever.
- 2:50:33[UNKNOWN]: I thought he was in this unit already.
- 2:50:35[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:50:36[UNKNOWN]: So again, I don't know what's going on here.
- 2:50:37[UNKNOWN]: And again, you can tell me John that's because you only parachute and please cork in every month.
- 2:50:43[UNKNOWN]: but they'd do a better job explaining the shit and making it make sense.
- 2:50:46[UNKNOWN]: You have English commentary and somehow in a lot of ways you feel like you're harder to follow than promotions that don't have English commentary that they've parachuted in for.
- 2:50:54[UNKNOWN]: So I was like, I thought it was in the UN already.
- 2:50:56[UNKNOWN]: I have no idea what's going on here.
- 2:50:58[UNKNOWN]: They invited the UN at and he gave a rose and he looked at he joyed them but when he went through the piece pose, he beat them all up and said, and left.
- 2:51:06[UNKNOWN]: But I guess he did join.
- 2:51:07[UNKNOWN]: I guess the Jay tried to say he beat them in or something.
- 2:51:10[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 2:51:10[UNKNOWN]: I don't know what's going on.
- 2:51:12[UNKNOWN]: And then Genki Condon, Arcane came out to make a triangle.
- 2:51:15[UNKNOWN]: He challenged for Old Award.
- 2:51:16[UNKNOWN]: I'm sure all the drake, dragon gate fans were rejoicing over that one.
- 2:51:20[UNKNOWN]: Why?
- 2:51:20[UNKNOWN]: Why some wind about some loving piece too?
- 2:51:22[UNKNOWN]: How much water do I have through the hour?
- 2:51:23[UNKNOWN]: Absolutely, they are.
- 2:51:24[UNKNOWN]: We're going to end this year with Genki holding all the belts.
- 2:51:29[UNKNOWN]: Genki 6 belt or whatever, yes.
- 2:51:39[UNKNOWN]: Yes, there you go.
- 2:51:41[UNKNOWN]: Sam, I made a vent, this is a buildup match.
- 2:51:44[UNKNOWN]: Finally, a buildup match for a match happening at Old Award, the Brave Gate Telematch.
- 2:51:49[UNKNOWN]: So it was the team of paradox, Dragon Kid BB-Hulk and Nerukidoi, being the team of,
- 2:51:58[UNKNOWN]: Zenostell, Zenostell, right?
- 2:52:00[UNKNOWN]: Zenostell, no?
- 2:52:01[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, Zenostell, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
- 2:52:19[UNKNOWN]: Why would you tell Zeno Stallone over to enters who the fucking R&C's to show us the big giant empty seats?
- 2:52:25[UNKNOWN]: They think it's an important.
- 2:52:26[UNKNOWN]: Like, it's like, Mario Gold knows that they're not just show that when they show up.
- 2:52:30[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you can, like, you guys should copy Mario Gold a little more guys.
- 2:52:35[UNKNOWN]: Also, the Zeno Stallone over theme is pretty fucking bad.
- 2:52:37[UNKNOWN]: So like some kind of auto tuned mess, I was like, Yeah, because no, it's like 8 a.m. Like the guy that normally does the Dregnage theme to set, the this one was AI generated and he's got to like do like actual like work on it eventually.
- 2:52:51[UNKNOWN]: But I'm like, I say, are you?
- 2:52:54[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:52:56[UNKNOWN]: Jay mentioned that home area was the first gone kid to come back and become a dragon gate wrestler now He is not the only former gone cake to become a wrestler period.
- 2:53:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, because new I'm a sake of course He's also an ex gone kid.
- 2:53:08[UNKNOWN]: Is there anybody else like the male and do you see I don't know?
- 2:53:12[UNKNOWN]: I can't think of any of them.
- 2:53:15[UNKNOWN]: No.
- 2:53:16[UNKNOWN]: I don't mean me for sure.
- 2:53:17[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, me or it's me or it's like always like the one that I think of for us.
- 2:53:21[UNKNOWN]: For like, gone kids that became restless.
- 2:53:23[UNKNOWN]: Or because somehow, so me or I guess was not that young, which was a gone kid.
- 2:53:28[UNKNOWN]: She was like 13 or something.
- 2:53:29[UNKNOWN]: No, like I like, I saw like the footage for like, no, like, it just looks like me or older than all of the other gone kids that I haven't.
- 2:53:35[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, you and it.
- 2:53:36[UNKNOWN]: So like obviously when you see a gaunki it's not going to look like the other if they don't this like just looks like near amazaki So it's very not actually that many years between then and now Cause she was like 23 now so 10 years ago
- 2:53:52[UNKNOWN]: Jay, I already said that, so I found this like surprisingly boring early on just wasn't much happening at all for Drain Gate 6, man.
- 2:54:01[UNKNOWN]: The Zeno style team kind of just started working Drain Gate over slowly didn't feel like there was any heat for it either.
- 2:54:08[UNKNOWN]: Even when things did finally get going to tab faster, it still felt kind of destroying it, destroying it,
- 2:54:14[UNKNOWN]: There was some moves just not landing flush at all.
- 2:54:17[UNKNOWN]: This is one home already high kick.
- 2:54:19[UNKNOWN]: The J called a bicycle kick.
- 2:54:20[UNKNOWN]: I didn't really look like that to me though, that appeared to best drag gets head by about a fucking mile and he's still so poor anyway.
- 2:54:27[UNKNOWN]: Homari finally did a nice dad to the floor on his own partner all of that was at least supposed to happen like the guy on the way And then right after that, there was this weird spot where I think Dory was supposed to schoolboy to knock it out of the air like again case I'm feeling like I'm picking on poor case case praises spot in this review But like it looked way more like he just soared right over Dory's head.
- 2:54:46[UNKNOWN]: I'm purpose to me then like got schoolboy
- 2:54:50[UNKNOWN]: by Doi in mid-air, so I just thought the kind of stupid and then drag him pinned him with the ultramariner after that, which did get a big pop finally at least.
- 2:54:59[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, not very good though.
- 2:55:00[UNKNOWN]: With mediocre match, like two and a quarter.
- 2:55:02[UNKNOWN]: I like it.
- 2:55:04[UNKNOWN]: No, I'm also questioning, like, okay, why do we have this like new, like, faction build around like homeara and like Rioja, right?
- 2:55:15[UNKNOWN]: And then it just lose.
- 2:55:18[UNKNOWN]: I guess it's to give heat to drugs.
- 2:55:20[UNKNOWN]: I guess to give frequency, drink heat challenges, but it's also like I'm always like, if it's a new faction, it should get like basically like, you know, like, all of a sudden, you didn't lose that much, like, that many matches early on.
- 2:55:39[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, well, it's working great for penis losing every match.
- 2:55:41[UNKNOWN]: So, yes, that I get the, the main events, fake it of them losing every match.
- 2:55:47[UNKNOWN]: The Ray Day for us final, LCL on Luis Vante, B, you show, you show, you show, you show, can code the menorah, CLO pin menorah, and 1904, these spinning teams don't powder, ever.
- 2:55:58[UNKNOWN]: So I did like that Monta and CLO came up with the final having teams through the striking all white look.
- 2:56:03[UNKNOWN]: So the all black, they weren't earlier, they don't really wear.
- 2:56:06[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, as another match on the show, they started, they thought starting out boring and heatless.
- 2:56:10[UNKNOWN]: I was waiting for it to pick it up, and waiting for it to pick up, and waiting for it to pick up.
- 2:56:16[UNKNOWN]: One point, I was like, why is the biggest highlight so far, you'll show, considering a kind of mediocre looking double cross body?
- 2:56:23[UNKNOWN]: After that, that would dip it up.
- 2:56:24[UNKNOWN]: So they did some cool moves each other.
- 2:56:27[UNKNOWN]: The fans actually made some noise.
- 2:56:28[UNKNOWN]: It was like, okay, here's a drag and game match finally.
- 2:56:30[UNKNOWN]: Again, it's the second thing on the show that actually felt like a drag and game match.
- 2:56:33[UNKNOWN]: Again, once a guy go, it took a while to get going.
- 2:56:36[UNKNOWN]: Um, the ending surprised me.
- 2:56:38[UNKNOWN]: Now, they have cello amount they win this.
- 2:56:41[UNKNOWN]: I guess the idea is, you know, oh, you'll show kind of manure.
- 2:56:44[UNKNOWN]: They got the revenge of the tag champs and semi-finals.
- 2:56:46[UNKNOWN]: They can get title shot later.
- 2:56:48[UNKNOWN]: But like,
- 2:56:50[UNKNOWN]: I still think it's pretty weird fucking booking.
- 2:56:52[UNKNOWN]: You put together this team of guys who is our famous chokeers and just have them continue to choke.
- 2:56:59[UNKNOWN]: What is it?
- 2:56:59[UNKNOWN]: Because they choked a Kobe world.
- 2:57:01[UNKNOWN]: They lost the tag title match, when they already thought they were gonna win.
- 2:57:04[UNKNOWN]: And then they fucking lost the fight on this part when they were not at least.
- 2:57:08[UNKNOWN]: Like, what?
- 2:57:10[UNKNOWN]: Like, do they just get off on you Kioshoke losing or something?
- 2:57:13[UNKNOWN]: Cause like, obviously he'd lost that type like the Dreamgate match at the start of the year where they were right thighs and a win.
- 2:57:18[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, it really feels like where you're sighted or just has a humiliation fetus for you go at Eukeo Shioca sometimes.
- 2:57:23[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, what is going on with this?
- 2:57:25[UNKNOWN]: It's really bizarre.
- 2:57:28[UNKNOWN]: I went three and a half, you know, it was good by the end, but like, again, the, why is the peak?
- 2:57:34[UNKNOWN]: Like, try and get corkens?
- 2:57:36[UNKNOWN]: The least you're supposed to be able to get like a bunch of four star fucking fast-paced matches.
- 2:57:39[UNKNOWN]: There were two matches in the show.
- 2:57:41[UNKNOWN]: I went three and a half stars on that was the peak.
- 2:57:43[UNKNOWN]: But what is going on this promotion now?
- 2:57:45[UNKNOWN]: Like, I don't, I don't get it.
- 2:57:48[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like obviously I don't really have an issue with like you can you see okay getting embarrassed because I know you're like the most foremost you'll see okay Like I actually need to do like a ranking of like you know like Takely you can you see okay and like Sonata basically who who ranks where on the hate a list But actually
- 2:58:17[UNKNOWN]: He is not even the person I have an issue with in this match.
- 2:58:21[UNKNOWN]: Neither is his tag team partner, Codam and aura.
- 2:58:24[UNKNOWN]: My issue with this match is actually with the winning team.
- 2:58:28[UNKNOWN]: Like LCLO and Lilo is Monte.
- 2:58:31[UNKNOWN]: I'm just like, like, what is this?
- 2:58:36[UNKNOWN]: Like, what are we doing here?
- 2:58:41[UNKNOWN]: Like Louis Mante has just kind of been completely lost in a shuffle ever since he lost the dream gate and like at least early on after he started to get lost in shuffle.
- 2:58:56[UNKNOWN]: like he's still like put in a lot of effort but then slowly but surely that got kind of like world down and we just got like very low effort with Monte and I was at least thinking what's like okay if he like gets like to define us off the tournament and everything we're going to see like a lot of like higher effort from him but we really kind of didn't like it was still very much like him like being a half-depth lower than everybody else in the ring
- 2:59:24[UNKNOWN]: and just kind of looking like he doesn't actually really want to be there and then same with LCLO where like this whole like mass gimmick that they're doing there with him like it's just
- 2:59:38[UNKNOWN]: It's just way overstate it's welcome by like Yeah, what is the point of this year?
- 2:59:43[UNKNOWN]: I've never understood the point of this gimmick.
- 2:59:45[UNKNOWN]: He's just some mysterious guy.
- 2:59:47[UNKNOWN]: We don't know anything about him.
- 2:59:49[UNKNOWN]: They never really tell us anything about him.
- 2:59:51[UNKNOWN]: And now the guy who brought him in, who has a connection to his gone.
- 2:59:54[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 2:59:54[UNKNOWN]: So why is he still under this mass gimmick?
- 2:59:57[UNKNOWN]: I don't understand it.
- 2:59:59[UNKNOWN]: Like right with the investigation.
- 3:00:01[UNKNOWN]: It just feels like he is meant to be almost like a fucking surrogate shune skywalker now or something and it's like, well...
- 3:00:10[UNKNOWN]: Which would be bad.
- 3:00:11[UNKNOWN]: I really don't want to turn to that.
- 3:00:14[UNKNOWN]: And it's like, I don't really get it.
- 3:00:15[UNKNOWN]: It's like, why is this guy still here?
- 3:00:17[UNKNOWN]: Like, Omaray had like, you know, for whatever you think of fucking Zenosel, Pascal, or whatever the fuck the new name is.
- 3:00:24[UNKNOWN]: Zenosel Nova, Zenosel, DDR Supernova.
- 3:00:28[UNKNOWN]: Like, at least Omaray,
- 3:00:31[UNKNOWN]: has fucking like mostly gotten rid of the trappings of being like Shune's young boy.
- 3:00:36[UNKNOWN]: Yep, but he's at least trying to be different and trying to be his own guy now.
- 3:00:39[UNKNOWN]: Why is LCLO still just some math dude who looks kind of like Shune Skywalker?
- 3:00:43[UNKNOWN]: Shune Skywalker works for Shune Neon now!
- 3:00:44[UNKNOWN]: Why you shouldn't be reminding people to go to your host culture.
- 3:00:46[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think he's probably coming.
- 3:00:47[UNKNOWN]: He's just a half a torture, yeah.
- 3:00:48[UNKNOWN]: Had a very unimpressive day of view of the G1-Bubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubb
- 3:00:54[UNKNOWN]: And so I'm like, I don't know, I would not want people to think she was kind.
- 3:00:58[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, I should just go walk with a guy.
- 3:00:59[UNKNOWN]: I love this company while saying he was so much better than everybody in it.
- 3:01:04[UNKNOWN]: Like, move on.
- 3:01:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:01:05[UNKNOWN]: That might be people of that.
- 3:01:06[UNKNOWN]: Like, it would be one thing if, like, LCLO actually looked like he was comfortable working on the mess, but it's so...
- 3:01:13[UNKNOWN]: so fucking obvious that he does not like working on a mask.
- 3:01:18[UNKNOWN]: It's so clear that he's not comfortable with it, like it's so clear that it's actually like inhibiting his actual ability to like perform in a wrestling ring.
- 3:01:29[UNKNOWN]: Like it just makes everything he does look like kind of awkward, like just
- 3:01:36[UNKNOWN]: Not it's not snappy enough.
- 3:01:38[UNKNOWN]: It's not snappy of what it should be at the level that he is like presented at And day to refuse to take that mask off of him and I'm not even sure Where they're even going with that, but it's just like AC gonna like
- 3:01:55[UNKNOWN]: Like, is it leading to like him versus like Kato, right?
- 3:01:59[UNKNOWN]: Because that's like, was like a story identity, he's early on when it was like him and Kato and it's like, but then it seems like they've mostly abandoned that as well.
- 3:02:09[UNKNOWN]: Well, they are a bit low now because he came out.
- 3:02:11[UNKNOWN]: I mean, that's actually a challenge of tag titles.
- 3:02:13[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I know they are.
- 3:02:14[UNKNOWN]: They are chilling for the tag titles, but then it's like, okay, it's that then later going to lead into like, like, hair versus mass title challenge, right?
- 3:02:25[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know.
- 3:02:27[UNKNOWN]: I don't know whether this is going because I don't really like, do you trust 2026 Dragon Gate to have a great plan?
- 3:02:32[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 3:02:33[UNKNOWN]: No, no, like in general, I would have expected like, yeah, no, there's probably like a long-term plan here in place for like basically you're going to have like CL or loose the mask and then it's like, go time from there.
- 3:02:45[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, as he said, like, I didn't even consider the thing until you just said it, but it's like, oh, he's like the true and sky walker replacement.
- 3:02:55[UNKNOWN]: And if that's the case, and I'm very scared for his future, because he should not be under the mask for like any significant amount of time anymore.
- 3:03:05[UNKNOWN]: But if he's the true sky walker replacement, then well, he did just gonna keep him under the mask for like...
- 3:03:11[UNKNOWN]: The foreseeable future, and he's just shit.
- 3:03:15[UNKNOWN]: He's shit at working on a mask.
- 3:03:17[UNKNOWN]: Like that's just it.
- 3:03:18[UNKNOWN]: It's not good.
- 3:03:20[UNKNOWN]: Fucking take it off.
- 3:03:21[UNKNOWN]: Just keep, let this, admit that this was a failure to put the sky on a mask.
- 3:03:27[UNKNOWN]: Does it admit that it was a bad idea?
- 3:03:29[UNKNOWN]: Move on, go to the future, do something different.
- 3:03:33[UNKNOWN]: Don't keep doing this.
- 3:03:35[UNKNOWN]: It doesn't fucking work.
- 3:03:37[UNKNOWN]: And again, the frustrating thing, and in case, again, they all listen to everyone boys, whether it's in that calm, the frustrating thing about this motion is there is plenty of talent in this motion who could be doing way more interesting things.
- 3:03:50[UNKNOWN]: Yep, they're just constantly let down by the booking.
- 3:03:53[UNKNOWN]: Like I'm looking at the car because I'm getting right to the next, the show next, this coming Saturday.
- 3:03:58[UNKNOWN]: Why the fuck is multi-sukey junior in a fucking tag opener?
- 3:04:02[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, doing nothing, still.
- 3:04:04[UNKNOWN]: They never do anything with this guy.
- 3:04:06[UNKNOWN]: I just watch for Suzuki Jr.
- 3:04:08[UNKNOWN]: I have a fucking awesome performance against his dad I have a fucking all-japan.
- 3:04:13[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it'll rest in jail.
- 3:04:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it'll order war jam.
- 3:04:15[UNKNOWN]: Why is he doing more interesting things in all-to-pan pro wrestling that he isn't dragging game?
- 3:04:20[UNKNOWN]: It makes no fucking sets
- 3:04:24[UNKNOWN]: Like, like, at this point, he should fucking jump.
- 3:04:26[UNKNOWN]: He should fucking jump.
- 3:04:27[UNKNOWN]: He should go beat Steve, all to Pam wants him to be the next big junior, junior heavyweight wrestler, because that would be a better fucking spot for him than whatever the fuck Frank hate is doing with him, which is absolutely nothing.
- 3:04:37[UNKNOWN]: An entire fucking year, this man has done nothing.
- 3:04:41[UNKNOWN]: And you have talent like that, and you have them doing jack fucking shit.
- 3:04:45[UNKNOWN]: I don't care how annoying he is backstage.
- 3:04:48[UNKNOWN]: I'm just guessing, by the way, I don't even know.
- 3:04:50[UNKNOWN]: Like, even if he's the most, because there's a lot of hits that won't history grand gate, of them not pushing people that they find all these, this person is too annoying or whatever.
- 3:04:58[UNKNOWN]: And I'm like, but all you people do, you can get away with that in 2007 with a curatolzawa when you had five other fucking stars that would try and people are talking.
- 3:05:11[UNKNOWN]: do that.
- 3:05:12[UNKNOWN]: She goes to cockies and do Japan for a while.
- 3:05:14[UNKNOWN]: She must not hear Milano Kluxi.
- 3:05:17[UNKNOWN]: She's long retired.
- 3:05:18[UNKNOWN]: Rio site does a GM.
- 3:05:20[UNKNOWN]: I mean, like, all you have in this, you have nothing right now.
- 3:05:23[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 3:05:24[UNKNOWN]: So you need to put, I don't give a fuck.
- 3:05:25[UNKNOWN]: If most of you do your annoys everybody, showing them their fucking head tie on his phone or where the fuck he does.
- 3:05:32[UNKNOWN]: You've got a fucking push somebody, okay, and this is like ridiculous at this point like push some people Why the fuck?
- 3:05:40[UNKNOWN]: I don't even think Jackie comedy is and is as good as some of the like the dragon people seem to think But he sure is fucking better than his push in this company Like they made him twin-day champion last year and did fucking nothing with him when he was champion somehow
- 3:05:56[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 3:05:56[UNKNOWN]: It's like, what are you guys doing?
- 3:05:58[UNKNOWN]: Like why are you pushing your old people so much harder than anyone else in the company?
- 3:06:03[UNKNOWN]: And why is the entire focus of the company's zero-shambashi comedy matches?
- 3:06:08[UNKNOWN]: Look, I love getting, I love getting a re-goochie.
- 3:06:11[UNKNOWN]: He didn't.
- 3:06:12[UNKNOWN]: He should not be pushed at this point.
- 3:06:17[UNKNOWN]: Should not be a pushed entity.
- 3:06:19[UNKNOWN]: Like he just shouldn't be.
- 3:06:22[UNKNOWN]: I just I don't get it.
- 3:06:23[UNKNOWN]: I don't I don't understand drawing a book in 2020.
- 3:06:25[UNKNOWN]: I don't give they are the worst book for most of this point at that because it's like I don't think like the other ones in the running would be like Marigold who you're not pushed they're not booked well or but like I don't think for the book as bad as drawing gate.
- 3:06:39[UNKNOWN]: No, it's just kind of boring.
- 3:06:40[UNKNOWN]: No, it's just kind of boring.
- 3:06:42[UNKNOWN]: New Japan, I mean, they do everything wrong with house torture, but anything.
- 3:06:45[UNKNOWN]: A lot of my house torture is usually pretty good.
- 3:06:48[UNKNOWN]: So I don't think there's anybody else really on the running.
- 3:06:52[UNKNOWN]: No, all Japan, all Japan's pretty well booked now.
- 3:06:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they were not well booked last year, but they're pretty well booked now.
- 3:06:58[UNKNOWN]: Start on this pretty well booked, except that this the faction thing annoys me.
- 3:07:01[UNKNOWN]: Took a Gyoshi might be the best book motion in wrestling.
- 3:07:04[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:07:05[UNKNOWN]: DDT's pretty well booked.
- 3:07:07[UNKNOWN]: although they don't they don't push to them people in a theater, which is one of the reason why I lost a little bit interested in them this year.
- 3:07:14[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, I'm trying to think who else lost it my name.
- 3:07:18[UNKNOWN]: Great.
- 3:07:19[UNKNOWN]: Then that goes booked horribly, but they always have been.
- 3:07:22[UNKNOWN]: They might be another one of the running on.
- 3:07:24[UNKNOWN]: Great.
- 3:07:24[UNKNOWN]: Another one.
- 3:07:25[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they're booked really badly, right?
- 3:07:27[UNKNOWN]: I haven't been paying attention a month, so.
- 3:07:30[UNKNOWN]: uh... beat uh... big Japan is a bit of a difficult question on that because not like they have a lot of choices to who to put yeah ice rubs ice rubs for their fucking roster is book pretty well uh... i mean they have a very tiny roster they do the best they can sent cvung saying that they were pretty tiny ross i wouldn't i wouldn't put the fake Mexicans over in the fucking university show like they did but i know um...
- 3:07:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know, it's like, we're, it's probably a striking gay, I just can't think, I, the thing is, I can think a lot of other promotions that are in bad situations, I cannot think of promotion that has as much talent as they have and just chooses not to use any of it well, yeah, like that is the thing we're dragging it that stands out to me and I'm going to read this car and it's going to be like, why are these people in these matches, so, yeah, later on, yeah, yeah.
- 3:08:25[UNKNOWN]: The, oh, do you anything want to say about the show?
- 3:08:27[UNKNOWN]: Show, the, the drag and the corkish of socked.
- 3:08:29[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the corkish of show was not very good.
- 3:08:30[UNKNOWN]: There, two, three and a half star matches the peak.
- 3:08:33[UNKNOWN]: And like, just a horrible, it was a road to show, but I think it started on one, it was a horrible one.
- 3:08:38[UNKNOWN]: So I didn't even book the show.
- 3:08:39[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, like the, the start of the show was a perfectly acceptable road to show.
- 3:08:43[UNKNOWN]: There's not a lot of things to think you're to even to the fucking dragon gate show was supposed to be more than a road to show.
- 3:08:55[UNKNOWN]: out.
- 3:08:56[UNKNOWN]: Alright, so here is your card for Dragon Gate, Hector Pascal, whatever the fuck.
- 3:09:00[UNKNOWN]: September 12th, 2026, from the bar wave arena, Oda.
- 3:09:06[UNKNOWN]: This show starts out with a tag team, dark match, Rio Fuda, and Monterey over Soha, Loone, and Tristan Moody.
- 3:09:16[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I guess, like, the Rio Fuda is like, is he joining, and it's also before, okay, though.
- 3:09:24[UNKNOWN]: Quick on because I think I want to take a quick detour into like, I know we've been going long, but whatever.
- 3:09:30[UNKNOWN]: Um, so that's my cast over the song.
- 3:09:32[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, exactly.
- 3:09:33[UNKNOWN]: That's true.
- 3:09:33[UNKNOWN]: But also I have a meeting in, so, um, but, uh, so basically, like, with like the English commentary, right?
- 3:09:46[UNKNOWN]: I think whole was like very charming at first.
- 3:09:50[UNKNOWN]: that act has not evolved at all in the slightest in the last couple of years and now it's just very grading.
- 3:09:57[UNKNOWN]: Where he is still, he does not.
- 3:10:00[UNKNOWN]: seem to know whatever the fuck it's happening in the promotion still was what I'm talking about still like that when you listen to the English commentary like are you guys supposed to like keep me under the loop like I want to talk okay I want to talk to those you showed English commentary and Mr. Haku explains exactly what's going on if I missed a couple of house shows he explains everything that happened I didn't feel like a god bless Jay I didn't feel like they explained fucking shit no it's broken to me did I just assume that you watched that
- 3:10:28[UNKNOWN]: And Jay, I, you know, not pick on Jay because like you're just saying, whole moon is no fucking help.
- 3:10:34[UNKNOWN]: That's for fucking sure.
- 3:10:35[UNKNOWN]: So, I mean, God, God, we should either Larry Dallas definitely get a better job, which is, you know.
- 3:10:42[UNKNOWN]: Let's say, yeah, that's the same something.
- 3:10:43[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you do whatever you think of, again, with Flavie Dallas, you just keep him away from the, from the convenies, until the show's over, and then he can just go and just fucking like drink strong zero, until he vomits.
- 3:10:57[UNKNOWN]: But like, you know, if anyone on earth has no room to make fun of a man's drinking in Japan, it's you and me bodies.
- 3:11:04[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it is, but it is, but you know, like at least, but also we don't have to do commentary and shows.
- 3:11:09[UNKNOWN]: That's true.
- 3:11:12[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the opener of the actual main show, Hormory and Kazuma Kimmer-Avers and Motizuki Jr. and Masaki-Motizuki.
- 3:11:18[UNKNOWN]: I basically just ran to it about this.
- 3:11:19[UNKNOWN]: I don't need to do it again.
- 3:11:20[UNKNOWN]: Like, why is he in this match?
- 3:11:22[UNKNOWN]: Why is this what you have from Motizuki Jr. or Hormory?
- 3:11:25[UNKNOWN]: Hormory?
- 3:11:26[UNKNOWN]: Like what, I don't know, I guide out, this promotion is booked like absolutely fucking dog shit to have these three of these four names, especially who are injured, most of you, Jr.
- 3:11:36[UNKNOWN]: I mean, Cameroon's good too, and he also does nothing.
- 3:11:39[UNKNOWN]: Like, you guys do not get to do eternal slow-world pushes when your promotion is flowering this badly.
- 3:11:46[UNKNOWN]: You are not selling tickets.
- 3:11:49[UNKNOWN]: Fucking push to these people.
- 3:11:51[UNKNOWN]: I don't know how to tell ya.
- 3:11:52[UNKNOWN]: Sometimes feel like this motion doesn't actually give a fuck if they ever sell a ticket.
- 3:11:55[UNKNOWN]: So, I actually voted Hommari relatively far up in my like 30 under 30 and it's starting to like age like milk because I voted him that high up because I assumed that he was on the verge of a big portion dragon gate and then they've just Fucked it completely.
- 3:12:12[UNKNOWN]: There's nothing.
- 3:12:13[UNKNOWN]: I hadn't pretty high my was too.
- 3:12:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know.
- 3:12:14[UNKNOWN]: I mean, sure not after I could start for the next year.
- 3:12:18[UNKNOWN]: 10-man tag team match, Ultimate Dragon, Strong Machine J, UT, Gucci, and Aki versus Zilman and Kowska, Kagatora, Doi, BB Hawk and Don Fugie just standard old people and people are not pushing.
- 3:12:31[UNKNOWN]: And we are.
- 3:12:32[UNKNOWN]: I'm natural by.
- 3:12:33[UNKNOWN]: This is Strong Machine J. I'm a Peter Levi.
- 3:12:35[UNKNOWN]: That's true.
- 3:12:36[UNKNOWN]: That's true.
- 3:12:37[UNKNOWN]: That's true.
- 3:12:38[UNKNOWN]: Uh, match 3, Gioro Shimbashi, Yamanote, Lion Chronicles, Harajuku, because of course the stores in Harajuku, Gioro Shimbashi versus Minora, Suzuki.
- 3:12:47[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it'll be funny, Suzuki's comedy matches almost always are, isn't it?
- 3:12:50[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:12:51[UNKNOWN]: Like, is the only thing on the show that feels like it's built at all, so.
- 3:12:56[UNKNOWN]: Because of this.
- 3:12:56[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:12:57[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:12:58[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:12:58[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:12:58[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:12:58[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:12:59[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:12:59[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:12:59[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:12:59[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:12:59[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:00[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:01[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:01[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:01[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:01[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:02[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:02[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:02[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:03[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:04[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:04[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:04[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:04[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:04[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:05[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:05[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:05[UNKNOWN]: Kyle.
- 3:13:23[UNKNOWN]: open the trend gate titles, ision, you'll see cocktail versus LCL over Luis Montague.
- 3:13:28[UNKNOWN]: I, this could be good, I guess.
- 3:13:30[UNKNOWN]: I, I don't know, I, I like you.
- 3:13:33[UNKNOWN]: I'm never the high on CL over Montague's team, so I don't know.
- 3:13:40[UNKNOWN]: I like, I like Asian and cocktail quite a bit.
- 3:13:42[UNKNOWN]: No, same, like I do like them as well.
- 3:13:44[UNKNOWN]: It's just that I have questions about the other team in there.
- 3:13:48[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so I don't know, we'll say, I don't think, I think they're gonna retain.
- 3:13:54[UNKNOWN]: because it's just seemed like they've already set up the next title shadogans.
- 3:13:56[UNKNOWN]: See, okay, here's actually when I'm thinking storyline wise.
- 3:14:00[UNKNOWN]: I think this might be a thing where like, you know, how they've been teasing the whole, like...
- 3:14:05[UNKNOWN]: like and they had the box interference right with like the real fooder thing where I think this might be a thing like fooder runs in and it's like oh is he going to join Kattadokuro and then he doesn't and they form like a new faction with like LCL or Luis Montendri of Fooder.
- 3:14:23[UNKNOWN]: Ah, maybe, that could be it.
- 3:14:25[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:14:27[UNKNOWN]: uh... special six-man tag the return you have a nation who i didn't even know got caught every year until i just read i heard he's here teams with uh... ukeo shioca and coach manora against the donka kicker tech high in jason lay okay uh... i don't know what he wants to get to win here right like
- 3:14:47[UNKNOWN]: I guess we never really got a really full story in triangle but also this is like a long time after it's last run and it's a very different promotion yeah i don't know 2013 or something 2015 but still like that's 11 years ago
- 3:15:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, like he's 28 when he left he's 39 now, well, I don't really have that much of stouter for his original run.
- 3:15:13[UNKNOWN]: I know some people love that monster express and everything.
- 3:15:16[UNKNOWN]: I just, I don't know.
- 3:15:16[UNKNOWN]: I didn't really, I never was that.
- 3:15:18[UNKNOWN]: I like him as a he-all when he was like the blood warrior he-all.
- 3:15:20[UNKNOWN]: I never really got into that much of a big face.
- 3:15:23[UNKNOWN]: Oh, it's apparently he's like in TNA, you know.
- 3:15:27[UNKNOWN]: Good for him.
- 3:15:28[UNKNOWN]: So who knows if there's even gonna be like a long run or anything like that?
- 3:15:34[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the semi-med event, the break gate title really has to knock versus dragon kid.
- 3:15:38[UNKNOWN]: I guess he's going for a 13th defense, right?
- 3:15:42[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's definitely going for a record, yeah.
- 3:15:45[UNKNOWN]: Oh, he already has a record.
- 3:15:45[UNKNOWN]: You already has a record, okay.
- 3:15:47[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think I think the, I'm pretty sure the record breaker was when he beat home RA on the last show is checking now.
- 3:15:55[UNKNOWN]: Because I don't want to give people a wrong information to before 22 days one two three four five six seven eight night.
- 3:16:04[UNKNOWN]: Yes, that was that was number 12.
- 3:16:06[UNKNOWN]: So okay.
- 3:16:06[UNKNOWN]: So I'm going for that's the record.
- 3:16:08[UNKNOWN]: And now he's going for just to keep saying the record even more.
- 3:16:12[UNKNOWN]: Dragon kid might win this.
- 3:16:17[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if it's record.
- 3:16:19[UNKNOWN]: Snack is already got the record.
- 3:16:20[UNKNOWN]: Draingate loves putting over old people, and it could be to knock a losing up towards you and gate shot, like towards the end of the year.
- 3:16:28[UNKNOWN]: I think he's going to retain.
- 3:16:29[UNKNOWN]: I think the next one will be where he loses, but it wouldn't, it wouldn't shock me.
- 3:16:32[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:16:33[UNKNOWN]: That's so fucking interesting.
- 3:16:34[UNKNOWN]: How can you be shocked?
- 3:16:35[UNKNOWN]: How can you be shocked by dragon gate?
- 3:16:37[UNKNOWN]: No, I get it.
- 3:16:38[UNKNOWN]: No one.
- 3:16:39[UNKNOWN]: I get it, but it's just depressing.
- 3:16:43[UNKNOWN]: It's my finger.
- 3:16:44[UNKNOWN]: It's like, okay, so you build up this Tanaka Re in for like so long.
- 3:16:49[UNKNOWN]: And you're gonna give the win at the end to Dragon Kit, like nothing against Dragon Kit, but like he does not need that rock at all.
- 3:17:01[UNKNOWN]: Well, have you considered that we used to say that he's all the shit, yes, okay, and wants to book other older shit people as winners So yeah, main event like he's like the fuck I've modern only Anderson or something.
- 3:17:14[UNKNOWN]: It's like oh, all my friends got it by friends when I was young We got to book them all over the show like buddy Look at least on endless and had a gun That's it all the Anderson are oh, yeah, sorry.
- 3:17:29[UNKNOWN]: Yeah
- 3:17:29[UNKNOWN]: All he was awarded to that and they said, I don't think I'm interested in the book that we still have you, but I could be wrong because our energy to that would go on as sure.
- 3:17:37[UNKNOWN]: Over the Dream Gate title main event, which you never fucking, if you told someone, put you put on Japanese commentary so they didn't have the English card you tell you and they don't speak Japanese and watch that card again and say, what's the main event of the show?
- 3:17:49[UNKNOWN]: There's zero chance it ever gets.
- 3:17:50[UNKNOWN]: It was KZ versus your model with the Dream Gate.
- 3:17:53[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, there's nothing on it.
- 3:17:54[UNKNOWN]: They have not impacted in this lightest.

- 3:17:59[UNKNOWN]: This is V1, but again, can you ever Fuck can you really roll out Yamato?
- 3:18:03[UNKNOWN]: That's my thinking right like ever since that match was like set up I've been like kind of being on the train of like I'm you really want to like I case he seems like the perfect B0 champion especially if he's up against Yamato Yeah I guess we can't really roll that out
