20th or 2nd of May is 205 Live day depending on the format of your dates, you silly Yanks, but either way, we can now celebrate 205 Live being good again! Like looking at the Best Kept Porky Secret who failed a weigh in

OTHER WRASSLIN


NJPW-Logo.png
New Japan
- The top Japanese promotion. On Demand streaming service with all major events streamed live, some with English commentary.
http://njpwworld.com - 999¥/month




latest
DDT
- Batshit insane home of patron saint of Flipvember, and wonderful human, Kota Ibushi. On Demand service launching in January, includes new shows from DDT, BASARA, Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ganbare Pro-Wrestling, as well as DDT special events (outdoor shows) and archives. You all need Kota Ibushi wrestling Sami Zayn in a campsite in your lives.
http://ddtuniverse.com/ - 900¥/month


dragon-gate.png
Dragon Gate
- Japanese promotion focused around speed and factions. Dragon Gate Network debuts on April 1st with a 999 yen lite tier which only includes access to archived matches and a with a 1499 yen live tier which comes with live streamed events, replays, access to the archive, interviews and so much more! Compared to the other Japanese streaming services this should provide the greatest archival access due to the nature of their tv deal.
https://dragongate.live - 999¥ or 1499¥/month


tumblr_inline_mz03wzFySq1qhf2de.jpg
All Japan Pro Wrestling - AJPW may not be the powerhouse it used to be but it's in the middle of a resurgence thanks to its top ace Kento Miyahara and its high level main event scene. It launched its own streaming service this past month and by all accounts it works beautifully. Just don't expect a massive archive due to the nature of tv rights. Although it does have live streaming like NJPW, DDT, and Dragon Gate.
https://www.ajpw.tv/ - 900¥



World_Wonder_Ring_Stardom.png
Stardom
- The top Joshi all women's promotion in Japan currently. The main event scene is arguably the best women's main event scene in the world, they have a great rookie class, and a great middle class of developing wrestlers. On Demand streaming service with English subtitled content.
http://www.stardom-world.com/ - 750¥/month



Big_Japan_Pro_Wrestling_logo.jpg
Big Japan Pro Wrestling - BJW is your one-stop shop for deathmatches and big beefy men putting their big beefy mitts on each other. BJW Core is their streaming service and it's a heaping pile of poop even if the wrestling isn't. Patience is a virtue with BJW Core but it's certainly worth the wait.
http://www.bjwcore.com/ - 888¥

Pro_Wrestling_WAVE.png
Pro Wrestling Wave - Wave Network is one of the only other Japanese women's wrestling streaming services and it actually predates Stardom's. Inexplicably it's still a worse service with no english subtitles for promos and the uploading is sporadic. It still has some very high level women's wrestlers in the promotion and are much more flexible with co-promoting than Stardom so there's a great variety.
http://zabun-japan.com/wave_network/ - 888¥

latest
Marvelous - Marvelous is a fledgling Japanese women's wrestling promotion run by joshi icon Chigusa Nagayo. It mirrors Sendai Pro in that it has a small core of homegrown wrestlers that they develop by bringing in a steady flow of various freelance performers. Former Stardom wrestler Takumi Iroha is their ace but wrestlers like Rin Kadokura and Mio Momono are developing a strong following. Their streaming service is part of freshlive.tv and it's the cheapest at 600 yen. They also have one of the best turnaround times in terms of uploads.
https://freshlive.tv/marvelous - 600¥



EVOLVE-Logo.png

EVOLVE - US indy currently with close relationship with WWE, a lot of their cruiserweight crop have come through. On Demand service run by WWN live that contains the WWN family of events: EVOLVE, FIP, ACW, and all women promotion SHINE.
http://wwnlive.com - $9.99 per ppv.

latest
PWG
- Arguably the top US indy currently. Less of a traditional promotion, PWG is a hangout for wrestlers across the indies to go all out and have fun. Shows can be exhausting, and the delay from show to release is maddening. Worth it.
http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com/merch/ - $15/DVD $20/Blu-Ray On Demand/Never

ROHwrestling.png
ROH
- Ring of Honor was historically the #2 or 3 promotion in the US, but the lustre has gone as of late. Yoshi-Hashi main eventing in 2017 is all you need to know. There are a lot of talented guys there however, as well as a New Japan partnership. Their back catalog still holds up.
Past Events @ http://rohwrestling.com/membership - $7.99/month Weekly TV every Thursday @ http://rohwrestling.com/tv/current/Free Current PPV's $15-35/show


latest
SHIMMER
- Top US



women's promotion. Has hosted the likes of Beth Phoenix, Becky Lynch, Paige, Asuka, Natalya, Mickie James, Ember Moon, Blue Pants, Nikki Cross and more. No On Demand, which is frustrating, as is their release schedule. They're currently about a year and a half behind.

lucha-underground-552ae0b620638.png

That said, a lot of great UK talent, and weekly TV show content as well as live events. They're about to run the same venue WWE is taping TV in, and for an indy, that merits attention.

Now last night you all... I mean earlier tonight you guys hurl-heard that the New Day, talking about winning the WWE Tag Team champions... being the t-becoming the WWE Tag Team champions, last summer, right here, in Brooklyn. Now what you all forget, sometimes, is that going into that match that the Prime Time Players were your tag team champions, w-going in. So every time I get draaaaagged back here to good ol' Brooklyn... I always get someone answering the same question. Whether it be one of them broke brothers from Bushwick, or one of them uppity hipsters from williamsburg. They ask the question: "Was that the worst day of your life?" I look at em. And I say no. That wasn't the worst day of my life, cause when I flash this million dollar smile, I tell ya right now baby, that was the BEST day of my life. It wasn't the worst day of my life cause I dropped the tag team titles, it was the best day of my life, because I dropped the dead weight that was Darren Young. Oh no no no, let's let's let's let's be real. There's no Ride Along - there is a reason there's no episode of Ride Along with the Prime Time Players. Pretty difficult to do when it's only one Prime Time Player. And he would not be relevant - Darren Young would not be relevant if it wasn't for me. Much like Jay-Z wouldn't be relevant if it wudn't for Beyonce. Oh yeah you booin', but it's true, think about it! Bob Backlund. How is Bob Backlund gonna make Darren Young great again, when he wasn't ever great to begin with? I would be all over the main event. You would be wearing my T-shirt. Hell, I would be your Universal champion right now, if it wasn't for Darren Young. Y'all wanna talk about some Bobbbb BACKLIN. Well tonight, I blame YOU Darren Young. I blame YOU for all the failures that I have not ha-no-had since I been here. I blame YOU for not being in the main event. I blame YOU for not being the WWE Champion. And I'll tell ya tonight, tonight. You come out here tonight so I can bury you, and be done with you, all together. Come on out here Darren Young, give these people what they want. They want you, come on out here. Come on, we gon' make Darren Young great again, come on Darren.

I'll tell ya what's going on right now. Ol' crazy, wild-eyed, bobbb BACKLIN is back there tellin' him, don't go out there, don't go out there. Cause... he knows... damn well, that Darren Young is too stupid to come out here. So- ......


I want Darren. I don't know who y'all want, but I want Darren to come on out here. I want Dar-ren. Okay. That old crazy man please let this man come out here. I mean t-AY! Who is Bob Backlin anyway? Who is Bob Backlin? Who does Bob Backlin- Ay ay, don't you come out here. I will beat yo-

Isn't 205 Live bad again? Or at least not nearly as interesting as during the tournament?

Looking forward to Vylash's Stardom / Oedo Tai thread next month.

Being advertised for tonight's Smackdown is a six woman tag match. Charlotte, Asuka, and Becky vs Carmella and the IIconics. So glad we are returning to the status quo for the women. It also seems fairly damning for Carmella considering I'm pretty sure the reason the vast majority of her matches are tag matches is because she is absolute garbage in the ring.

I thought Jason Kincaid actually was pretty good in the Maji Manji opening match. I haven't seen the Korakuen Hall show from Sunday yet so that's my first time seeing him in DDT. He apparently was on that Evolve show on WM weekend but I have no recollection of that.
Doesn't change that his outfit is terrible.

The whole Maji Manji show was really good, I hope this 2 hour weekly show format is working out for DDT.

For the NJPW faithful, two HUGE Wrestling Dontaku shows on Thursday and Friday starting at 4AM est (little better for our british friends). Night 1 is headlined by Ibushi/Cody 2 and Omega vs. Page, while night 2 has Ospreay/KUSHIDA for the Jr title and of course, the big one, Okada goes for immortality and his 12th straight defense of the IWGP title, but in his way is the man who currently holds the record, Hiroshi Tanahashi. Will Tanahashi lose the last tenuous grasp on his ace status as Okada reaches godhood? Or will Okada fall one step short and be defeated by his greatest rival?

HEY! IT'S MAY! And it's a big wrestling week this week! If you wanted, you could easily do 6 shows this week. Here's what's on the docket:

Friday May 4th: Riptide Spring Break
DcG_L7hX0AA7kub

Riptide is fun and WALTER and Sammi are both debuts I'm excited to see.

Sat May 5th - Mon May 7th: PROGRESS SSS16 2018
DcGRczGXkAADUMJ

Db9NN1YXkAAdtq3.jpg:small

Banger draw and some very interesting potential matchups. Should be a lovely time. Or, i dunno, you could be snarky on Twitter about co-option, or very mad online that an owner promoted a book he wrote on Twitter

Sat 5 May: EVE Wrestle Queendom
Dbpv8MkXUAARwQu

Look at that card! $10 for the livestream on FITE, you still have credits left over right? Support women's wrestling and a company trying to create a nice friendly space (unless you're an asshole)

Fri 11 May: Rev Pro Epic Encounter
DcBzn4QXUAIiesj

Lee vs Ishii was a banger last time round, can't see this being different.

The Progress SSS looks really good this year

On a totally unrelated note, in some strange way the WWE Comic is actually good. There were free issues on Comixology so I picked them up and the story is solid. It's all kept entirely in kayfabe too

So I was at the Raw show last night, and it was pretty average.

Huge pop for Kevin and Sami, their fights was great, the rest of the show was super boring. It was my first live Raw show, I've only been to house shows before, and ugh, what a difference.. It's super obvious when it's commercials time on tv because the fights just super slow down and the wrestlers just stall for time and don't do much. People were about to riot when Ronda showed up, only to have her run around the ring like a benny hill show.. what the hell. Having the entire place sit down to watch loops of network ads in total darkness about 20 times thru the night is not fun. after the show, Seth Rolling almost having an emotional meltdown about how sincere he was when he said he loved us was nice.

The 6 fighters match was great, the balor vs rollin fight was like 8/10, but the rest was legit 1/10. At least the music and lights worked.

House shows are far superior.

I got tickets for Smackdown tonight with my friends and I almost feel like not bothering.

I don't trust Gabe to not fuck up a pig roast. He'll roast the pig, and everyone will want it, but he'll only cut it and serve it after it's gone cold and nobody wants it anymore.
