Even down to things like Tobizaru never throws those giant handfuls of salt in Japan, but it’s become his gimmick this week because it gets a pop.

I definitely got the feeling today that they’re working in the pro-wrestling sense a bit more. There’s a lot of picking up and a lot of throws. I’m not suggesting fixes, but more an agreement that they should make their sport look as exciting as possible.

First half more exciting that the second, but a really entertaining day’s matches.

WWE wants A.I. to write it's storylines?

We've already seen how badly a computer messed up as The RAW GM.

I love the fact that my power bills will go up because Paul Levesque, Nick Khan and Ari Emmanuel are too cheap to pay someone to write "YEET!" "YEAH!" or "YOU HAVE A .0001% OF WINNING!"

I kind of wish James was on comms with him as an audience surrogate, but most matches go so fast, there’s not enough time for two people to speak. 😄

The jet lag has worn off. What a great first half! Everything great about sumo in under 40 minutes.

Oshoumi vs Asakoryu ruled! Brilliant stuff.

Tobizaru determined to throw more salt than anyone else this week.

I noticed EVERYONE in the second half was taking their sweet time before tachiai to get the crowd up.

Makes sense, but I still think the pilots would’ve had to give it some welly to get them off the ground. 😄

His match today was great. He’s embracing showmanship, making sure he throws the biggest handful of salt for the pop.

Love that film. Tense as fuck and looked like an absolute nightmare to shoot.

I’ve just spotted a woman in an URA sweater. I may have to investigate further.

The lads in the second half are really milking the pre-match stuff.

For what it’s worth, JTLG is my current YouTube obsession. I love it.

Wait… is Destination X (not the TNA show) just a high budget BBC knockoff of Jet Lag: The Game?!

Tobizaru is becoming a showman! 😄

If you got in quick enough, the base price was just £40.

I’ve managed to snag myself a day-return flight from Osaka to Fukuoka AND pay over the odds for a secondary market ticket, and that still came in cheaper than what was left last week for the London shows.

New audience every show so fresh faff. Also, tradition and ritual and yada-yada. <waves hand>

Well… Hoshoryu doing absolutely fuck-all in that match. He might as well have been going for a stroll.
