i am obviously very biased as a natsu/saori superfan but i thought the main from night 2 (them vs hina/ranna) was easily the best tag league match from either of the first two nights

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 1d

‪and a little before that takeshita/tsuji, which i’m hyped for as long as they’re giving tsuji his very overdue big win (if they’re not they can fuck off)‬

this really is the coolest part of the lead up to a japanese wrestling trip where you just start finding out all the awesome matches you’re gonna get to see in person. in the last week alone i’ve gotten saya/saori, saya/syuri, a very random (but awesome) sareee/mirai match & now miu/suzume 🔥🔥🔥

EXTREMELY happy with miu vs suzume as the korakuen title match on the 1/4 show i’m going to. two of my favorites in the whole promotion

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 1d

miu vs j-rod was awesome. only real complaint is i would have liked it to go a bit longer than it did, but that was such a cool power vs power match

the amazon showdown is tomorrow already?? damn

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 1d

not watching this game but i just saw “NYR are flying” and “mika shot goes off the crossbar” tweets back to back so i can already guess how this is gonna end (2-0 islanders)

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 1d

the only good thing about all of this, having just seen the angle, is at least they played his good theme song and not his shit AEW one. a small victory but still a victory

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 1d

yep exactly

kinda hard to get amped up for a "last time ever" match between two dudes who had like 2 "last time ever" matches within the last 2 years

i’m just letting you know that you’re trying to lecture someone about new japan history who literally lived it. but i’m not surprised that didn’t give you any pause because you seem like kind of a moron

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 1d

how many 2010s NJPW shows were you in attendance for buddy? i bet it was less than i was

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 1d

i don’t even care about the controversy surrounding this that much, nor do i care about the games of “whose source is right”. all i know is okada is the most boring fucking option for tana’s final opponent by far. would have preferred kenny, or naito, or pretty much anybody tbh

watching today’s korakuen now and i think syuri & saki are the funniest team of all time. saki at the end being like “no please give me a piggyback ride to the back” hahaha

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 2d

i finally put a ranger game on and they score a power play goal for the first time in eons? hashtag ask questions

‪frankly there’s plenty of people in wrestling who have done a lot worse than her without even suffering any consequences. so i dunno. let’s see what she’s got as a full time wrestler i guess!‬

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 2d

my opinion on the fuwa-chan thing is she apologized, the other comedian even accepted the apology, and she’s been completely out of the public eye for like a year and a half. everybody deserves a second chance, and she’s had plenty of consequences for what happened already

‪also the playlist i came up with for the 18+ music video panel is fucking deranged so definitely don’t miss that one lol. i won’t spoil the whole thing but why did dir en grey make a PV where a geisha eats the head of a baby‬

i always try to bring something different to cons (as much as my friends make fun of me for only hosting non-anime related anime con panels lol), and it will be really cool to host at ANJ for the 1st time. haven’t been to one of these smaller scale “hotel cons” in a while period
