I'm going to have to save Darejyo for tomorrow because I'm a bit hungover today, and it's the exact kind of thing that will make me overly emotional.

The Rin one is great because Sakura genuinely just leaves it up her at times.

Great read all the way down, with lots of matches to check out that weren't initially on my radar, and a good analysis on TJPW's current landscape. Lovely thoughts on ageism in wrestling and how it pertains to the 1/1 tag title match as well. Check this out!

Stuart manages to capture my feelings on both TJPW and wrestling “fan”’s opinions of NOAH in one breath, and that’s that I’s appreciates about him.

My first matches of the month for the year is a long one! There's a bunch of stuff I probably won't be getting round to when it's not as cold and dark outside.

Just to make it a bit sadder, the final rookie also failed her pro-test. Although they've announced they're giving her another shot on the next show, so they clearly think she's close.

On the Marvelous show today, Rin announced she's retiring on 5/5 at the Yokohama Buntai show. Seems this comeback was always about having a wee run before saying goodbye.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Misao and Shoko losing in the 1st round would normally be an outrage, but I like this Ace & Bird pairing a lot.

They've also pulled the Chig lever for 5/5 and had Iroha bully her to get into training to wrestle.
