Rambles about the wonderful world of wrestling.

I’ve been having a lovely time with the D-Oh so far, and it continued in Itabashi with a show that they aired live on YouTube before it took a while to get to On Demand. It’s another shorter card with just four tournament matches, but there are a couple of tasty combos in there, so let’s see what went down.

I’m working my way through my post-Tag League review backlog in chronological order, so it’s only natural that the next one will be Stardom’s second show from Osaka at the start of the month. Let’s see what went down.

Stardom is on the road to their final show of 2019 and kicked off life post-Tag League with a doubleheader in Osaka. There aren’t any big matches on these, but they’ll be sowing the seeds for what is to come over the next few weeks.

We’re onto our penultimate show, and honestly, there were times when I didn’t think we’d get here. I thought I was going to be stuck in a forever loop of alright tag wrestling watching matches, all bleeding into one as day after day I prayed for salvation. Then again, it might still happen.

For the last three shows, World Tag League has gone back to being live while Gino and Double K have decided to turn up for the first time. Where were they on the cold night that was show 6,392? Anyway, nice to have them on board as we’re finally heading home.

The build to January 4th is now well on its way in Tokyo Joshi as they begin to ramp things up ahead of their big show. We had a bunch of opponents facing off on this one as well as the next chapter in the Misao story, so I reckon we should get down to it.

As previously mentioned, I won’t be reviewing undercard matches on this tour, but Chris Brookes did win a big old bag of rice, so if that’s your idea of a good time (and why wouldn’t it be?), get on it.

With a strong first night behind them, the D-Oh’s second show in Yokohama will have been hoping for a repeat performance. Let’s boogie on over to see what went down.

We’re definitely in the home stretch now. After this, there are only three shows left, and as New Japan have made the interesting decision not to have a final, we’ll know our winner on Sunday. Who is still in contention? Honestly, I don’t have a fucking club, but maybe I’ll try and work it out as we go along.
