The VOW report just seems a bit off to me. There's them saying that Ibushi was ready to return for the NJC despite him tweeting yesterday he can only bench 40kg, there's the fact that he has heat with Taka and Taichi but is being threatened over his appearance at JTO which is Taka's promotion, and there's the fact that they just suddenly have a bunch of information that has come out that they have not reported on in the past (though I could be wrong on this point). There's also this

I find that Jay White isn't working as well on American TV, mostly cause the crowd just seem to refuse to boo him. That match with Shota was him heeling it up and still getting cheers for it. If you want his best matches, I'd say check this https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1a4411Q7E6/ (Vs Kota Ibushi 08/12/2019) and this https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=275780602977998 (Vs Juice Robinson 07/07/2018) out.

Pretty stacked Dynamite and Rampage cards this week. Martin vs Fenix and Yuka vs Riho should be barnburners.

Here are some more matches that I consider great. If you don't like these then I don't think you're gonna enjoy her on the whole. Vs Mayu Iwatani 02/08/2020 - https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV147411F78Z/ Vs Mio Momono 11/03/2019 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovQxvCKJeao&ab_channel=Marvelousプロレス公式チャンネル Vs Chihiro Hashimoto 11/28/2021 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMq9RCLgYKw&ab_channel=SENDAIGIRLSPRO-WRESTLING Vs Arisa Nakajima 09/18/2019 - https://vk.com/video-4499945_456243754 (Go to 2:11:00) Vs Kairi Hojo 07/04/2015 - https://vk.com/video583713338_456239457 Vs Nanae Takahashi 05/29/2019 - https://vk.com/video-4499945_456243356 (1:22:00) Also @Jetlag I know you've vowed never to watch another Syuri match, but you might enjoy this one against Kana https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmcVnFE6LEE&t=1289s&ab_channel=women'swrestlingjapan

Naito's eyes cannot catch a break

Tanahashi vs Ishii was fantastic

https://mobile.twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1516882431491649536 SRS now reporting on the AEW/NJPW supershow rumour

Podcast under the VOW umbrella, they're usually reliable on NJPW. The only thing I saw them get wrong was about Jay White's contract.

Great stuff between Okada and Zack.

Caught Night 1 live and they really knocked it out of the park. I enjoyed Corbin vs McIntyre and the Logan Paul tag match way more than I was expecting to, Bianca vs Becky and Cody vs Seth both delivered, and Austin vs Owens was a fun way to end it. Bianca is now 2 for 2 in terms of Mania bangers, I hope they keep treating her well. Probably won't be catching Night 2 live, but outside of Brock/Roman nothing really interests me so that's fine by me.

Naito vs ZSJ rivals Shingo vs Ishii for best match of the tournament, what a match

My expectations for Shingo/Hiromu were sky high, meaning it ended up being a little disappointing, but Zack Vs Ospreay was terrific, they're just so good together.

How far have attendance restrictions been lifted in Japan? Because New Japan drew 1000 in Korakuen Hall today, which is by far the highest Pandemic crowd there

Guys this might shock you, but Naito and Tanahashi had a very good match.

Hiromu making Suzuki's chest bleed just minutes into the match set the tone well. Really good match there. Didn't like Ospreay vs El-P that much, but the finishing stretch was fire.

Kana is someone who I could very easily see sneaking into my top 20. She has an exceptionally high floor, usually able to get something good out of even the most dire talents and has some of the best Joshi matches to have taken place in the 21st century. She's incredibly versatile, capable of working several different styles at a high level, and as GlassS0ldier mentioned has the tendency to push boundaries and present a unique vision of what pro wrestling could be.

Of all their Half in the Bags, this might be my fave

Bull Nakano

Sendai Girls is so consistent, every show has at least one match worth going out of your way to watch

Okada vs Despy was great and definitely worth checking out. Struggling to pick between Okada and Go Shiozaki as WOTY at this point in time.

Obviously putting yourself through a pane of glass that's been placed above your opponent does more damage. It doesn't just end up hurting your opponent the exact same as if the glass wasn't there, no siree

Okada vs Naito was the best match of pandemic era New Japan.

This man needs a looong break

The balls on him to suggest winning the match...
