Rambles about the wonderful world of wrestling.
The Princess Cup wrapped up at Korakuen last weekend, and as is fairly common these days, I was there in person. If you haven’t already, go check out my ramblings about some of my favourite matches from the earlier rounds, and then come back and read my thoughts on the final.

TJPW were back in Korakuen with their final big show before the Princess Cup. I missed reviewing the last TJPW trip to that famous venue because, while I was there in person, I was horrifically hungover. It meant I came out the other side having enjoyed the show, but feeling unqualified to try and unscramble my thoughts on it. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case with this one.

If you follow me on some form of social media, you might be aware that I moved to Japan this month. If you don’t, well, I did. It would be a weird thing to lie about.
It’s relevant here because it means a lot of my wrestling viewing is going to change. I’m living in Tokyo, so now when an event like Grand Princess rolls around, I’m probably going to be in the building. That’s obviously a lovely thing for me, but it does mean having to rethink how I approach writing about this stuff. Being there live doesn’t really lend itself to a match-by-match review. Maybe, once I’m settled in, I will figure out a way to do it, but not having easy access to a pause button and enjoying a lemon sour or four makes picking apart the action in intimate detail difficult. I could, of course, rewatch when I’m home, and I may do that with shows down the line, but I’m quite busy at the moment, and this was a long one.
So, instead of going over individual matches, I’ve picked out a few big talking points to dive into. Let me know if you love, like or hate this format because I’ll inevitably be tweaking it as we go.
