    I was rooting hard for AZM :(

    Mayu ain’t dropping the damn strap till April at this rate.

      I think her next challenger will probably be Momo or Willow from the Women’s Cup… but I kinda hope they let Athena leave ROH with a win tomorrow

        I cannot see Momo winning sadly, since I’m a big Momo fan and we’re not allowed to have nice things.

    Real good show overall I’d say. Only ended up with a couple of my predictions wrong in the end.

    Mayu/AZM only got 8 mins. 8 fucking mins. In a title match, for a title NJPW themselves own. Gedo needs to be smacked around. Stardom needs to send them high speed only matches if NJPW doesn’t wanna take the joshi seriously.

    Dunno why I doubted Phantasmo winning the match, fucker just came back from cancer lol.

    Shibata showing up was beautiful and the match tomorrow is gonna be great.

    Shingo/Takeshita fucked.

    RIP in peace Douki :( Hoped Despy would win but not like this.

    Nice to see Tsuji win the Global belt, but Finlay turned the fuck out for this one.

    Naito/Takahashi should have happened 5 years ago.

    ZSJ and Umino went on way too long and 5-10 mins could have been cut without harming anything, and given to the women’s match.

    Tokyo Sports is reporting that Douki dislocated his left elbow, so we can probably expect him to be out anywhere from 3-6 weeks to upwards of 6mo if its bad enough. Could have been much worse but still, hate to see it. He was doing fucking fantastic as champ too.

    Why have Naito win that (not good) match? Shoulda been Hiromu’s.

    I also missed it (I’m bad at this) but Shibata showed up to save Tana, and tomorrow night the two will fight.

    The Shibata-NJPW bridge is healing!

      i blinked and missed where the heck Shibata appeared from, but I seen the challenge in-ring. I missed the DOUKI injury thinking I could sneak in a bathroom break during their walkouts though.

      I’m currently distracted by the fact Tsuji has a pudding brand logo on his arse.

        Gotta get that pudi money!

        posted a bsky link of the injury below. Despy almost Kingston’d himself on the railing just before but seems ok, but fuck Douki’s whole weight came down on his arm.
