Oh that’s dirty, fucking Reddit.

I know we aren’t gonna get it cause they aren’t play-by-play/color commentators nor do they really have the skills at it (yet 👀) but I’d love to see them have shows called by some of the wrestlers that are fluent in English (Mina, Waka, Momo Kohgo) plus the foreigners like Xena/Thekla/etc. Not gonna be worse than the NJPW guys at least lol

Oh and quick useful update as I just saw it, re: Stardom subs and their time frame, at least as of today I can say they seem to have about a 5 day turnaround when it comes to the backstage post-match interviews. This past Sunday was the Supreme Fight event, Stardom World just uploaded them with the full subs, so they seem to be fairly on the ball!

Don’t look for it any time soon as the adhd is strong, but eventually I plan to have youtube links side-by-side with the website links for all the promotions in the sidebar, to make it simple.

Actually this might be what fuels me to hyper-fixate on it and do it sooner lol

Finger-poke of Doom: Watch Nash shoot and once Hogan pokes him, he just lays him the fuck out (brother).

Yeah I was actually kinda thinking that while I was typing it. It’s probably going to be difficult finding a wrestling promotion where pieces of shit haven’t been involved in some way. It’s just that the TNA thing is fresh and blatant and the timing of them hiring Tessa Blanchard, right when a bunch of companies were bending over and removing diversity and fairness, was fucking awful.

There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism! (outside of piracy lol). Try not to worry about it too much, all you can do is talk with your wallet, try to limit who you pay for and go from there.

As for US women’s: NXT/TNA have routinely been the best for a while stateside, I give em the edge cause they give them a decent chunk of airtime. AEW has 1 match a show frequently, but a lot of the women are cooking when they get a chance, ROH gets a lot more time for women’s matches so hopefully the network their TV deal ends up at enjoys women more than WB does. Can’t talk WWE main roster as I just watch clips on Bluesky and occasionally Reddit lol.

Japan wise, TJPW is another great option since ya found it. Neon and a few of the others here will have better knowledge regarding them than I do, but their shows are always awesome and TJPW is pretty much always the #2 to Stardom’s #1.

Assuming you’re just referring to WWE (less if you inquire otherwise): We’re in the road to Wrestle Mania right now (The Royal Rumble was just days ago) and WM is in 2mo. WWE also (depending where you live, but I think its in most places now) is now available on Netflix (older content available depending on when its uploaded) so easiest place to start is probably just from the Jan 6th raw (beware that specific episode sucks lol). Otherwise Just go back to the last 2-3 PPV’s at the most, watch them and you’ll be caught up enough with the important stuff.

VENY defending the Beyond the Sea title to the winner of a tournament which she oversees like a hot mix of Shang Tsung and the Chairman from Iron Chef which takes place over a few weeks of Dynamites/Collisions/ROH’s involving every woman on both rosters.

Oh Mariah is pissed lmao

Only thing we need is more time on the shows for em.

lmao

Fletcher was always the Shawn in the group, but people slept on Mark a lot of the time cause he was no Jannetty.

Well that’s a surprise

I cackled at Marina/Rene

And honestly I think I’m kinda liking the no commentary.

Right? I find it makes me appreciate things more cause I’m just focusing on the fighting and the sounds of the match, plus when the crowd does pop for something there isn’t someone chatting over it.

S’all good! Golden Week is a holiday week in Japan (29 April to 5 May) which contains multiple holidays within it. During that week/week and a half Stardom did a bunch of shows, 5-7 of em I believe, all starting with that title. During Golden Week pretty much everything shuts down, so most of the work on editing/uploading the stuff gets put off until the holiday period is all over, so between new people taking over production, a (probable) rush to get the product up for viewing and possible technical problems, ya got this lol.

Can’t remember a lot of the shows by memory, I do see at least a couple title matches during the shows. The time period is also kinda their period after ‘Wrestle Mania’ so to speak so you can probably fast forward through a lot of it, but, watch it.

Damn near kicked my childhood PC cause of that lmao

Ah, boo. Makes sense tho.
