I met John and Wai at their live Q&A, and won the best question contest.
Then at the end of Smackdown Wai was leaving the arena, he saw me, remembered me and said hi.
XD
Did you share your Naito plight with them

I really dislike how the ignored content in this site is displayed now
Maybe britwres deserves to die
Hot take: I think Ishii WILL be Heavyweight Champion by the end of next year.
In one of those reigns that lasts like 2 months
Bea vs Utami was good but fell way short of Arisa/Kyona. They were smart keeping it short so Utami's lack of moveset depth didn't get exposed.
The last TJPW show was decent. The main event was good. Yuki Aino pinning Hikari was unexpected. My favorite match was Natsumi/Raku with Natsumi heeling it and kicking out late multiple times. Raku's a biter LOL. Pom/Yuka was fun as expected.

Sounds like a good plan. You probably only need to do it once a month.Travel plan madness has truly taken hold
Currently debating hanging around Manchester till the 3am coach to London, get 5 and a half hours sleep on the coach then get the train to work 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Edit: oh wait I can get the midnight coach then get 5¾ hours then go to work
Jazz already starting the hate crusade on the best wrestler in STARDOM, hate to see it
Good dudes. Sounds like you had a cool wrestling nerd weekend.
Totally doableSounds like a good plan. You probably only need to do it once a month.
Now, i don't think it's as glaring as Jazz makes it out to be, but I did consider the selling stuff a big issue for the Arisa match.

sometimes cool shit overcomes the need for selling
and Arisa does cool shit
Wait was the match about an injured body part? Because if so:
Ahhh noooo
Sell or die.
Now if it's just strong style no selling sure
But if it's Rollins/Ospreay shit
Nooooo
Utami/Bea >>>>>>>> Arisa/Kyona
The latter going long exposedSeth RollinsArisa's limited moveset of only doing kicks and one stupid shoot headbutt after 10 minutes of the match were devoted to Kyona working the leg. You can't have Arisa in peril when she's never lost a singles match whilst Kyona has lost ever big singles match of her career and a lot of the non-big ones, especially if Arisa does nothing to sell it and does 99% of her offence with the injured limb. Also Arisa wiffed some big spots.
Bea/Utami's brevity (in comparison) made for a better underdog/monster story. Utami legitimately looked like she was on the back foot throughout the match outside of the moments punctuated by bursts of big desperation offence. Plus both of them did a pretty good job adding new spots/moves to sell the importance of the match to them, without going to stupid shit like shoot headbutts.
Bea/Utami was both their best match of the year so far. I honestly think Arisa/Kyona was the weakest of either of their big singles matches from 2019.
Natsumi not selling the Goodnight Express was despicable.
Good
I did not see it yet.
If it's Ibushi no selling his ankle I will probably be very annoyed.
Counterpoint:T-hawk is currently the wrestle-1 champion. It would be a stretch to have W-1 people in AEW.I doubt it'd be that easy since Reika's not with TJPW anymore (arguably she never was, as I understand it she's always been W-1 affiliated and was just freelancing in TJPW, but now she's not even doing that anymore).
I did
Got to tell John some puns and make him laugh
Chat Japanese wrestling with WH Park for like 20 min
Talk wrestling with Mike Murray for like 20 min
Met 14 kick ass women wrestlers including Team Sea-Stars and Rosemary
Saw Choke wins for days
Bliss wins
Gulak
Cole wins
Shayna wins
Charlotte shines
I get proven right about Nattie's workrate
Literally only didn't get a Brock win and a TUE wins all the titles moment and a top flight Bryan match... all in all sick 4 days.
All my favs: Cole, Bliss, Gulak, Shayna retained their titles: Bliss and Gulak did it twice!!!
It's the same thing most wrestlers do
Sell for most of the match, then when it comes time to do the moves and get the ending going you just do what you do.
At this point that structure exists enough for me to just accept it as a given. I'm more pleasantly surprised when it doesn't than upset when it does.
You can prepared with puns for Pollock? Fantastic.
Imagine enjoying a weekend of pro wrestling in 2019. It can happen!
She won the ActWresGirlz title, AWG has a dumb feud with TJPW for whatever reasonCounterpoint:T-hawk is currently the wrestle-1 champion. It would be a stretch to have W-1 people in AEW.

Arisa and Kyona got me more emotionally invested in them than Bea and Utami did.

Tell that to poor Jay White.
It becomes less cool when it's the 20th kick/knee to the head in the match. Utami hit a really nasty lariat then the rolling delay Germans which ended up being really cool because it came off across as fighting spirit.
In a lot of her matches Arisa stuff does come off as cool. Her final Brazil kick knocking Tam the fuck out in their match after Tam screamed and ran right into it was one of the coolest moments this year for me. In comparison the final sequence of Kyona/Arisa was just kind of nothing because of how the match was laid out. It was just more knees into another Brazil kick from Arisa after a random rope run stop rather than coming across as some desperation last chance offence. Compare it to the end of Kyona/Momo when Momo capitalises off a missed big splash then has to murder Kyona with dangerous Suplexes until she can no longer kick out.
lol
Ishii isn't gaijin heel
It's 100% Rollins. In all fairness it's the only Arisa white belt match that's been like it.
Oh btw y'all need to see Shotzi Blackheart vs Delilah Doom from The Summit.... fucking hell that match was incredible hard hitting stuff
