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.

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!

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.

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.
