Throwing it back to 2005 MySpace vibes because honestly life was simpler then, its time to pin my current Top 4 wrestlers to my profile because I don’t think I’ve ever actually said who they are 🤼

I do think the Eita should be the one that takes the belt from Hiromu but I’m not sure how you get there
jemtonic.bsky.social
Hoping the Kenoh/Marufuji backstage comments weren’t a tease for Tag League…

Kenoh can come but I don’t think we need Marufuji in 2025

I would like to see Hiromu retain here - not just because I don’t trust New Japan to do anything with him - but I think there are still legs to the outsider champion thing.

Understand if Eita wins though

I’m going to be so bummed if Kenoh has to eat the pin here
jemtonic.bsky.social
Not fussed by Daga but I am very happy for Daiki getting the win here
jemtonic.bsky.social
Okay Junta winning has given me slightly more hope that Hiromu will retain

Damn being ill made my mum a savage 😂
Screen shot of a conversation with my mum.

I sent a picture of Big Pyonsuke Yota Tsuji with the caption why

She responded with “So you can give New Japan more money because they can fill venues”
jemtonic.bsky.social
You’re right, we shouldn’t complain about stuff we paid money for! Instead I am going to watch the trio tournament from last month!

Oh wait…

After Monday I hope we can take a break from ‘Not LIJ’ vs Wardogs for a while
jemtonic.bsky.social
Also pretty sure ‘not LIJ’ have not reacted to a single one of Gabe’s Naito taunts and I love that for them

Hiromu and Finlay deciding to just bicker between themselves sums this tour up really #NJPW #njkopw

The way some parts of English-speaking wrestling social media talk about wrestlers (especially Japanese ones) who’ve come back from serious injuries to keep wrestling is really gross.

Catching up on Naito’s blog and I’m glad he had a similar reaction as me about his and BUSHI trios partner 💀

I am fully in support Despe tweeting through his loss
jemtonic.bsky.social
Anyway thank you for coming to my TED talking on “Crashing out about something to do with Hiromu” October 2025 update.

We are expecting a further update as we get fully into Dome season

Sure he has won BotSJ 3 years running but he only convert 1 of those in to a belt win.

There are other people who are much more present (and dominant) in that division than him and yet no one seems to bitch as much
jemtonic.bsky.social
But the amount I see people bitch about him you’d think he’d was this dominant force controlling all of the belts. Since he came back from injury in 2021 he has won the Jr belt once. He’s never won the tag belt.
jemtonic.bsky.social
Like I get the division has revolved heavily around those two but Hiromu hasn’t even challenged for the belt since he lost it in Jan 2024, and frankly barely exist in the division outside of BotSJ and SJ tag league (which is actually a problem)
jemtonic.bsky.social
“I’m glad New Japan have put the jr belt on one of the young guys then need to move on from Despe and Hiromu”

Reminder that Hiromu is 35, younger than YOH and 2 years older than DOUKI

Let’s not confuse age with exposure
jemtonic.bsky.social
Nah, I’m fine with him losing the belt (I think he needed to at this point) but that was not it #njkowp
jemtonic.bsky.social
What on earth is this lighting for the backstage comments from Saturday New Japan show…

I can barely tell who anyone is
