Kamaitachi's manager needs to speak to them about this fur pulling (everything is always Naito's fault)

KAMAITACHI's theme music really slaps

A loose list of some stuff I’ve been watching:

Super J-Cup 1994- fantastic one night tournament with a who’s who of the era’s junior heavyweights. This was my first exposure to a couple of guys I’d love to see more of, Shinjiro Otani, Negro Casas and Great Sasuke. Aside from the obvious take away that Pegasus/Sasuke was great, my main take away was that I should watch more Super Delfin. Both of his matches were so fun to watch and left me wanting more

Fantastica Mania 2024- a good showcase of probably the best promotion going consistency wise. The 2 matches I’d say go out of your way for are the Atlantis jr/Hechicero match and Stuka jr/ Máscara Dorada

Shota Umino vs Ren Narita, New Beginning 2024- slog, disappointing and did not need the length it has. Admittedly I watched this hoping to see the technical prowess I’ve heard Narita has, so I wasn’t in the headspace for a brawl. But upon rewatching it on its terms I still found it boring.

Katsuyori Shibata vs Kazuchika Okada, Sakura Genesis 2017- yea, still fucks. I actually never knew this was the match Shibata got brain damage which is extra wild because that means he has one of the greatest matches of the decade while his brain was literally dying. Also I can’t not mention how good Okada is at getting bitched out by someone on his level, that exchange at the start where Shibata ties him in knots and you can see the growing “oh I’m in trouble” look on Kaz’s face. Can’t recommend enough

Me watching Resurgence: pissed about the shit booking of the tag division, pissed they’re not doing anything with Zack, talking shit about these New Japan strong shows and the shit quality they expect us to give them money for…

I’ve been watching Fantastica Mania 2023. I don’t follow CMLL at all but arrrrgh, the name Rey Cometa was itching at me all night! But I figured it out! Rey Cometa is the guy Namajague lost his hair to when he was on excursion!

The New Beginning big matches

With all the changes and all the wrestlers getting ready to exit the company, I'm having trouble keeping track of all the key matches coming up. So I thought I'd list out all the important stuff coming up over the next few weeks.

January 20 (Nagoya)

NEVER title: Tama Tonga vs. EVIL

STRONG tag title: El Phantasmo & Hikuleo vs. KENTA & Chase Owens

KOPW title: Taiji Ishimori vs. Great-O-Khan

DespeWato reunion: El Desperado & Master Wato vs. SHO & Yoshinobu Kanemaru

January 23 (Korakuen Hall)

IWGP jr. title: El Desperado vs. Yoshinobu Kanemaru

Master Wato vs. SHO

January 24 (Korakuen Hall)

Shota Umino vs. Ren Narita

NEVER trios title: Kazuchika Okada & Hiroshi Tanahashi & Tomohiro Ishii vs. Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls & Kosei Fujita

Tama Tonga's last NJPW match: Tama Tonga & El Desperado & Master Wato & Tomoaki Honma vs. EVIL & Yoshinobu & SHO & Yujiro Takahashi

February 4 (Korakuen Hall)

IWGP jr. tag title: TJP & Francesco Akira vs. Drilla Moloney & Clark Connors

David Finlay vs. Callum Newman

Jeff Cobb vs. Alex Coughlin

HENARE vs. Gabe Kidd

February 11 (Osaka)

Steel cage/Ospreay's last NJPW match: Will Ospreay & Jeff Cobb & HENARE & TJP & Francesco Akira vs. David Finlay & Alex Coughlin & Gabe Kidd & Drilla Moloney & Clark Connors

Bryan Danielson vs. Zack Sabre Jr.

IWGP tag title: El Phantasmo & Hikuleo vs. KENTA & Chase Owens

Okada's last NJPW match: Kazuchika Okada vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi

After that comes Fantastica Mania, the annual CMLL showcase, on February 12-19, and The New Beginning in Sapporo on February 23-24. They haven't announced the full cards for the Sapporo shows, so they're probably waiting on some storyline developments in Nagoya, Korakuen, and Osaka.
