Call me Thistle. I like beetles, 17th century square-rigged tall ships, and Japanese pro wrestling.

Yeah, I don't know how much it any of the in ring camera stuff he was involved with, and it's hard to say how much their parent company has to do with it 🤷 I think they're involved to some degree though because I notice some similarities to Noah as far as lighting etc

This is only somewhat on topic but when did the DDT camera style get like this? The number of camera cuts they do these days drives me a little nuts.

Yeah, I know what you mean. As long as Despe is wrestling there I'll keep watching to some degree, but I don't expect any of the things that are driving me away to change anytime soon due to what I suspect the causes are. It is what it is but it sucks. Your faves are TMDK guys and who else?

And yeah I dunno man. I haven't followed a tour since... the BOSJ I think? Not intentionally or anything, I just keep prioritizing other stuff or forgetting to watch. It's a real downer.

I dunno how likely that is, but also I think it would be just awful to not have an IWGP Jr HW title defense at 1.4. NJPW always treats the HW division with more respect than the Jr HWs but just leaving the belt off the card entirely (and for no reason!) would be awful...

Theyre still announcing matches, but the "number 1 contender" match seems like that means there won't be a title match for that belt until the 4 way is decided? Hiromu has the Noah belt right now so I dunno what his situation will be going into 1.4 but if he still has it that would complicate things

Oh no I'm so sorry! I hope you can find one of a similar size, weight, texture, and density soon 😔

English language discourse about Japanese pro wrestling is always bad and I think it always will be bad. In a way having another bug US promotion made it even worse somehow.

Also if you want another fun way to collect pretty colors, consider getting into fountain pens! 😁

In my opinion you'd be much better off buying a solid natural-hair round if you don't already have one, than you would be buying lots of different colors of paint.

I suggest compromising by keeping your palette limited, but buying very nice paints for the colors you choose. Too many colors will make painting much more difficult. It's way better to start with a limited palette of high quality paints, on high quality paper and with a nice brush.
