So is this gonna be the Tongans against everyone else now? I mean I realize there are still like 65 Bullet Club members out there that haven't chosen a side, but most of them are jobbers anyway.

Yeah not sure how it looked or felt on broadcast but the reaction to the Juice finish was unreal. The place was totally unglued.

It's a shame Juice didn't get the chance to cut a promo.

LOL just noticed nobody in A Block of G1 has a title. Omega, Juice, and Goto gotta start handing out those title shots.

Yep Jay White

Nailed his character tonight

The crowd was poised to hate him though. You could tell when he came out to boos he was really savoring the moment. Juice is such a charismatic face to go against, I really enjoyed he was one of the few who went to the sides of the extra wide aisle and slapped palms.

Went to my 2nd Tokyo Joshi Pro show earlier with my Japanese friend I've converted into a wrestling fan. Or at least I think I have; she was a little weirded out by the opening dance number. But she seemed to dig some of the other matches. After taking her to a WWE show and now a TJPW show, my next goal is to take her to a NJPW show. Here's some quick thoughts:
  • First match with Yuu and Nodoka was awesome! Great opener. And the best match of the day for both of us. Some of those chops sounded pretty brutal. Ow!
  • Rest of the show was aight; Yuka's matches were pretty good. Also dug Hyper Misao shenanigans.
  • Really, really bummed Maho wasn't on the card. :(
  • Maki sang right next to me; that was pretty cool!
  • Both my friend and I think the generic dancing girls are soooo boring.
  • Apparently, before the show, they announced 2 new women are going to start training. At least that's what my friend said. I could be totally wrong on that.
  • Miyu's slip was pretty funny, but she handled it really well. Weird that the last 2 shows I've been to had women slip (Io Shirai and now Miyu).
Overall, a fun show. Nice that it starts at 12 and gets out in the early afternoon; feel like my day isn't wasted. Now for some pics:

Dude jumped into the stands after he won. Came right to my area I touched him. It was nuts.

Great pictures and report!
I think the problem with the Up Up Girls is that besides a couple of moves it's hard to differentiate between them if you're not reading any interviews / backstage stuff with them.

These are the two new trainees, the right one is a YouTuber, the left one a former DDT wrestling student:

WWE matches ending in a rollup are so much different than what I saw tonight live in the US title match. THAT was a rollup finish. The audience definitely had a cathartic release at the 3 count. I was in the front row of the "elevated" floor seats (aka not even one full step up off the ground level lol).

Ah, gotcha! I actually think I saw both of them at the train station before the show; I saw their TJPW shirts and thought it was cool to see women wearing them. But it turns out they were wearing them because they're training. Lol!

Yeah, I agree about the Up Up Girls; they're like CAW's to me. Which is weird because almost every other wrestler in TJPW has either a distinct personality or look, often times both.

I'm having a hard time deciding if I should go to more TJPW or Stardom shows. There's way too much wrestling here in Tokyo.
