Every so often I get a post on my feed that says something like "all wrestling these days is the same!" My response is always "watch some @tjpw2013.bsky.social"

Wrote an article explaining why, and it's up now on my substack!
You Should Be Watching Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling
TJPW is one of the most consistent promotions in the world. Why aren't more people talking about it?

My match of the year ended up being, rather fittingly, between my two wrestlers of the year. Here's a big old ramble about it. #tjpw

Consensus aside, it’s wild to consider how many Shoko moments I forgot about this year and this was a lovely reminder. Also fuck yes to the floppiest player in the game, Uta Takami, getting her due

Just found out Peter Greene died last week. It's definitely emotionally brutal, but If you haven't watched "Clean, Shaven" you should.
