Pretty interesting story from the Giant

Can now watch WWE PLEs if you have YouTube TV.

Full video interview out tomorrow on YouTube.com/@ShakWrestling

It's 60fps (last night it was 30fps) and I think they changed a few camera angles in the opening segment. It's still censored, for those wondering.

Going through a site I use for advanced reader copies, to my surprise who has a thriller on the horizon.

Next week when Roman fights Penta, do you think his going to take a Canadian Destroyer, he doesn't seem like a wrestler who would? This isn't a hate on Roman. I just can't see it.

Edit: Yes I now Penta's version is called the Mexican Destroyer, I'm just used to calling it the Canadian Destroyer.

As the title says: I just watched my first match after more than one year absence of watching wrestling. I was an avid watcher from 2015 to 2024 and was lucky to experience the many highs such as Omega-Okada, the rise of Will Osprey, the reunion of Kenny and Kota, Bullet Club, and so on.
Hence, when I saw that Omega vs Osprey was All In‘s main event, I decided to watch the match. I had no background about the build, who was heel or face or anything. I started with the bell ringing into this about 50 minutes ago.

In short: WTF was I just witnessing? Osprey giving Kenny the Styles Clash. The match kept on giving and giving. Thought to myself how crazy it is that a move is so protected that only one opponent ever kicked out of it. When Osprey kicked out of the OWA I lost my shit and loudly yelled at the TV. I had so much adrenaline and when the 1, 2, 3 came I was so happy for Osprey and felt all the feelings. The commentary was on point as well throughout the whole match.

This was incredible and reminded me why I watched wrestling for ten years. This is art. Idc what anyone says, this was 6 stars for me.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk and sorry for typos and grammatical errors (fuck the iphone keyboard and not a native English-speaker). Now I will do the classics: Look up reactions on YouTube and read through SC to feel elevated and experience a shared understanding of the world for an hour or so. Have a good evening and kiss good night bang.

From STARDOM:

Thank you so much for your continued and enthusiastic support of Stardom.

We regret to inform you that Sayaka Kurara will be absent from the Korakuen Hall event on September 6th (Sunday) and the Yokohama Budokan event on September 12th (Saturday) in order to receive treatment for an injury.

We sincerely apologize to all the fans who were looking forward to Kurara's match for causing you worry and inconvenience. We appreciate your understanding.

We will inform you of the return date as soon as it is decided.

Kurara responds on her Twitter:

I will have to sit out this time.
To everyone who was looking forward to it, I'm sorry.
I myself feel incredibly frustrated that I can't compete in the match.

But right now, healing is what I need to focus on.
I do feel the urge to rush, but I'll work hard to recover fully so I can return to the ring full of energy.

Even while sitting out, there are plenty of things I can do, so I'll dive right into what I can manage and what I want to do right now!

Please wait just a little longer until we can meet in the ring with my vibrant self.

Chie Koishikawa 🏵️, Sayaka 👗, & Tokiko Kirihara 💃

🆚

Kaho Hiromi ⛵, & SOY 🐸, & Hagane Shinno ⚔️

4GEN

While the Fourth Generation are now beyond the Juice 2545% in ring show, their momentum is only beginning. This trio is Othello and Orange Panna Cotta put together! Starting us off, “Say Helloooo!” As ChocoPro Wrestling’s resident speed shark, Chie Koishikawa has endless energy, boundless potential, and a destiny beyond what any of us can fathom. Her charisma is unquestionable, the Frantic Fencer warming the hearts of fans across the world with her emotional outbursts and flashy style. The drama she brings is really next level! Her desire is rock solid and her passion burns bright. While she might not have claimed the Super Asia Throne just yet, expect Chie to continue rising. She’ll be pairing her unique backhanded chops with fellow OPC member Sayaka’s monster elbows! Check out that awesome new shirt designed by Hiyori! While she has become infamous for her unsettling quotes (like “I'm gonna kill you! Yayyyyy!”), “Smiling Violence” Sayaka is known more for her ungodly striking power (and killer looks to match!). Those explosive forearms and pinpoint dropkicks stagger even the toughest opponents! Sayaka’s unnerving cheerfulness while she does brutal things provides her with a big presence in the square. Don’t underestimate her killer instinct! Finally, Tokiko "Otoki" Kirihara (who teams with Sayaka in Othello) is looking to show off her own no-nonsense attitude and hard-hitting style. A fierce competitor with a passion for hiking and a deep love of striking, Otoki is a straight forward fighter with an equally strong look. Don’t be fooled: behind that intensity lies a playful streak, revealed through her quirky, unorthodox signature techniques. With a background in dance and kickboxing, she brings a unique Showa rhythm to her fights that is highlighted by nasty takedowns (and her ability to turn just about anything into a Comaneci reference, including that great pin). Tokiko’s ground game is also truly impressive, among the best the promotion can field. This Fourth Generation Trio is a super combo, expect them to go all out!

They’ll be facing quite the ragtag trio...don’t worry, because "Happy Smile" Kaho Hiromi will face any problem head on! The youngest on the active roster has a sharp wrestling mind and a cheery attitude. She has already had a lot of big moments in ChocoPro, and her potential is limitless. Kaho is one of the best new prospects of the promotion: this quick and tactical rookie might just be a prodigy at pro-wrestling. Kaho has a unique approach to the basics coupled with clever transitional setups to make up for her lack of experience and power. Next up, the Pro-Wrestling Evolution representative and Jumpsuit Powerhouse SOY will be bringing her warm charisma and tenacious fortitude to the Chocolate Square! The Fighting Spirit filled frog enthusiast has the audience firmly behind her, and she’s risen into a defining powerhouse within the promotion. Those fiery chops grow more like the Oni’s every bout, it is no wonder that she is called “the Child of the Monsters”! Also that natural, heartfelt warmth she possesses makes her easy to root for. Lastly: while it might be summer right now, prepare for a reminder that winter is cold and unforgiving. Hagane Shinno represents that freezing season with more than just his icy demeanor! This absolutely brutal striker has been nearly invincible in the series so far, a Dark Souls level nightmare to face in ChocoPro! His solemn ferocity makes him an instant favorite among new fans (with Hagane surprising most with his exceptional technical skill, emotionless demeanor, and explosive fighting style) while his byronic nature pairs well with his otherworldly eternal youth. Emi Sakura challenged Hagane to step up in this chaotic era, despite his reclusive nature, and he has done just that. We are blessed to have the ageless assassin back in the mix after his recovery! Expect only Critical Hits from this mysterious striker. While these three don’t team together too often, expect them to adapt well to the situation!

Miya Yotsuba 🍀

🆚

Axe Massacre 🪓

Weapons

It seems a new rival is emerging for Ichigaya’s Lucky Charm, Miya Yotsuba! Axe will need to compete with the reckless drive and unbreakable resolve of the commanding Super Asia Champ. Miya’s burning heart full of passion is a forge that melts down any who stand before her...”Because she is CHAMPION!” She brings a brilliant all or nothing attack style that delivers riveting intensity (and also has a killer look to match her super cool attitude!). Her bone-rattling back-breakers, bold strength based trick pin, thunderous Miya Hammer, and those surprising feats of strength leave no question of the champion's power. Carrying the name of the Four Leaf Clover, she shares an iron bond with the fans and has her sights set on more than just protecting her beloved Big Blue Belt: she is the new joshi Ace of ChocoPro and the face of the promotion overall. She won’t stop growing just because she is at the top: Miya will continue to ascend! She is fierce, she is powerful, she is Champion! Part of her new found status is handling guests like Axe, which she will need all of her gained experience to deal with…

Expect a sharp clash, because the chaotic “Queen of Trash” hailing from Adelaide, WRESTLEROCK Champ & ASWA Women’s Champ Axe Massacre (Probably the coolest wrestling name ever) is back in Ichigaya! Axe brings their excellent signature look (which stands out well in ChocoPro), aggressive style, love of mullets, and the brutality of reality! The gritty punk vibe and shocking intensity of Axe is really killer, as seen across Australia (and in the previous episode, go check it out!). Anyone influenced by Tank Girl is always gonna be high up in my book. With a flashy move set to match that wild persona, expect this Vixen of Violence to continue to make their mark in the already chaotic world of ChocoPro. The Queen of Trash would probably work well with Smiling Violence, or our other violent Queen! Will we get to see more of Axe’s spicy personality unleashed in this one? The moment you see them, you will understand! We’re actually getting Hammer vs Axe!

Sayaka Obihiro 💙

🆚

Minoru Fujita 🐦

Obi Day

Dinner might be on hold, because this time the legendary combination of battle chefs known as Obihiro Shokudo Sohonten will be facing one another instead of challengers. What a way to celebrate another year of magic from Sayaka Obihiro! This time it is the cake based celebration commemorating one’s date of birth, you know the one. Every Obi celebration in ChocoPro has been great so far, and this one will definitely be a blast as well! A certified chef and the beating (blue) heart of ChocoPro, Obi is a whirlwind of warm energy and sparking magnetic personality. It is hard to deny that indescribable factor she possesses, drawing you in with her melancholic, deep mindset. Whether she’s anxiously opining about her place in the world or gushing about Rocky, her vibrant energy absolutely bursts off the screen. Obi brings a rare combination of speed, strength, and outside-the-box creativity to her bouts. Her unorthodox combos, blistering heavy chops, and sudden pinning flurries are staples of the wild thrill that is “Sprint” Obihiro. Despite her thoughts being clouded so often, she supercharges the audience with her humor, passion, and fluid technique. You’ll quickly see why she is called the “Soul” of the promotion. Can Obi's passionate drive carry her to victory against the rotten? Emotion is the foundation of a lot of Obi’s stories, with good reason. Expect this one to touch your heart strings as always! I sincerely recommend checking out Obi’s postings for a refreshingly unique approach to wrestling philosophy...and also great food.

She will need to focus, however, because her opponent is the absolutely brutal Minoru Fujita...the very monster she holds the tag belts with! While singles matches are quite rare for the grizzled veteran, we’re now blessed with another one. The ominous Vice Principal (and frequently rotten villain) is known for his accolades in singles, deathmatches, and especially tags (also his angelic singing voice). This mask & bird lover is a terror with seemingly endless endurance and cruel intentions. His tricky brawler style and high level of technicality make him an incredibly difficult opponent in any situation. While his move set is marvelous (who doesn't love an exploder, tombstone, or tons of heavy striking), Fujita brings a natural severity that is really unmatched. One advantage fighting along side him, will be that Obi knows most of his tricks! Most of them. Fujita’s impact on the scene overall is unmistakable, and we’re lucky to have him (especially in a singles match)! With that much talent, experience, and a willingness to bend the rules, anything is possible. Despite these two being on great terms with one another, expect a dirty fight…but this celebration will be hard earned for Obi!

Until next time!

ChocoPro Wrestling is a free online & promotion (that also runs ticketed live in ring shows) run by AEW's Emi Sakura, that often takes place in the legendary Ichigaya Chocolate Square! It features a steady pace of Episode releases, fan interaction, long story arcs, and much more! A place where the turnbuckles are replaced with 14th floor windows, the ropes are replaced with fans, unforgiving walls provide creative avenues for skills otherwise unthinkable, and you can take solace in knowing that the referees usually do nothing. While it might be a shocking change at first, the intensity and storytelling will leave you wanting more. Think of it like the Hart Dungeon but as a promotion, if that helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

In my opinion, FTR vs Lucha Brothers is one of them. There's not much to say; two of the best teams in the world had four matches, and none of them were memorable.
