Sasaki tapping me up for money by talking about Sato. You got me okay. You got me.

Since everyone was too embarrassed to ask about the Goliath lore I'll just tell you - according to TORU, Goliath is actually naked at all times. Those aren't tights he's wearing, they are his scales. Unfortunately, he shed some of his upper body scales but he doesn't need or want a t-shirt.

I know Riiita uses his size as a way to stand out, and it works, especially in the Dragongate style. That said, I do think these singles matches show all the other reasons he stands out as a wrestler.

Don't worry, it's not like I was ever normal about these things before.

If you're going to have a big cry, do it in Korakuen.

Watching Junta and Kikuchi wrestle right now and it remains thoroughly delightful. Enjoy!

I barely actually leave the house so how is beyond me

He hasn't adapted to NOAH in the way Harutoki has. It feels like his heart isn't there in the way it is in Dotonbori or anything based in Osaka. Maybe it isn't. He was just so disappointed after the Hiromu match. I want him to be happy with what he's doing in NOAH.

His final match with Harutoki was great. When he's good as a heel, in all the context of the stories he's built, he's great. Out of context, he's flashy and loud enough to stand out. His tag team with Tadasuke was good. He shouldn't need to be exceptional every match. But there's something missing.

He's held stuff back and he's been trying to be somewhat coherent in character - being head of big scary (but loved) heel unit in one place and bottom of the pile in another is not helping. Pitching as best in Kansai and getting overtaken by Harutoki, MJ and arguably now Matsufusa hasn't worked.
