The ROH/NJPW MSG show was like if you got partnered up with someone to deliver a presentation at school, and that person was dumb as shit and did no work, so you deliberately wrote the script to keep their time speaking to a minimum and they still fucked it up.

For comparison, 305,000 people attended NJPW/WCW Collision in Korea. One was an obscene waste of public money to shore up support for the state at a time of severely declining living standards, the other was main evented by Shinya Hashimoto vs. Scott Norton.

Chad Gable, who the WWE seems determined to make into a walking short man joke, is 4 inches taller than Tomohiro Ishii, who NJPW portrays as the toughest bastard on the roster. It should hardly be surprising that Vince struggles to create new stars nowadays.

Oh, and whether it's possible for Labour to win back a man who's decided that a 97% white population is much too diverse, and why his assertion that most COVID cases in his town have come from non-white communities was printed unchallenged. Those sort of areas.

Being glad a sexual predator has finally been exposed - yes, absolutely.
Celebrating their being exposed because you already didn't like them for reasons unrelated to their being a sexual predator - sounds like you care more about your own vindication than the survivors, lads.

I know TJPW gets flak for not having many truly heated feuds, but it makes more sense if you think of the long-term story the promotion's been telling as that of a group of friends pushing each other to new levels. The King's Road, but if the Four Pillars were also an idol group.

New Japan are moving Dontaku to a single show but they're upgrading it to the PayPay Dome, a 38,000 seater baseball stadium in Fukuoka.
That's probably about 9 times the peak 2010's attendance for Wrestling Dontaku shows.

The IWGP Women's Championship is a Stardom title sanctioned by NJPW but the two companies remain legally separate entities, therefore there is no NJPW women's division. This may seem like splitting hairs, but it's very important that Allan Cheapshot cannot be seen to be correct.
