Last time DDT and NJPW worked together the word is they tried to poach Takeshita and Endo and DDT immediately shut down the partnership. Would be interesting to see where they stand now. Yeah, I guess some of this depends on when it happened, like if this was before NJPW changed management. Still, I imagine if Takeshita did any work for them, it'd probably be some quid pro quo situation that they both saw value in, since yeah, sounds like trust got damaged last time. The timeline would be the BOSJ where Ospreay broke out--the rumor being that NJPW wanted to land Endo and have him do what Ospreay did in that tournament, but they couldn't, and so it sped up them getting Ospreay. They likely would have gotten Ospreay anyway but it's a funny sliding doors moment--Endo becoming a huge star in NJPW and Ospreay maybe elsewhere lol. I think it worked out best for both companies though.

Donāt care for him wrestling Sasaki. I thought Sasaki was retired, or is this not Kensuke? Daisuke Sasaki from DDT, who I think heās scheduled to wrestle at Peter Pan.

Does Miyu have history with like, Shida or Riho? I guess they can introduce her pretty quick that way if she's beat them before, like obviously she has beaten Maki Itoh and now, Rosa as well, so there's stuff they can talk about. I do hope TJPP will let them show some clips, though, since yeah, they could do better than a quick rundown if they can at least do a video package. Speaking of Maki, she lost her title today. Maybe she'll be heading to the States for a while She has US dates (GCW) booked this summer and TJPW is leaving her out of their big summer tournament, so itās assumed sheās probably working a few more dates for while there.

If thatās all it takes then ok, Iām cool, Does Miyu have history with like, Shida or Riho?

Sheās wrestled both Kenny and Shida in tag matches, and when Shida first visited TJPW she talked about how Miyu was who she was most interested in wrestling.

Glad a lot of people are finding about how good Takeshita is. Heās going back to DDT for Peter Pan in August but Iād think he should be a consistent TV presence going forward given how long heās staying.

The AEW champion being in a match overseas with a promotion AEW is apparently in partnership with, where she gets defeated and has to defend her title because she lost and none of the match being explained on tv might need more than 15 seconds. A quick clip showing her getting pinned and talking over it about what happened is all it needs. Then they can run a promo or two from either competitor. If thatās all it takes then ok, Iām cool,

KAIRIās mystery partner is Nanae (give me my roses I called it lol) which quiets Toni involvement for a while.
Nanae rules so this is great tho

I figured this would happen. Rumor is they want a title match between these two. It would take like a 15 second explanation on Dynamite or Rampage to set this up. Do you mean how long it would take to set up the initial match or the rematch?

The Goto training tactic didnāt work but Rika was great. Shoko continues to deliver in main events.

I suppose it may be because Itoh has a few overseas bookings, enough to be not included in the upcoming tournament. Maybe they donāt want the title on her to keep booking flexible. Or maybe with travel easier itās a chance for the title to return to original plansāWindsor can theoretically lose it to anybody overseas and it play international hot potato lol I assume Rosa defends it against Yamashita and maybe even against Taya at a AAA event, she said she wants to be a traveling champion Though this sort of win might also set up Miyu Yamashita/Maki Itoh vs ThunderStorm, and given how hard people seem to be into Rosa and Toni tagging and Maki in general, that'd be a big match. twitter.com/misterhakusan/status/1545681699186819072?s=21&t=dp01e6UAjxQUJhOd4E1kBAThe issue AEW has is explaining how the match got set upāthey didnāt exactly build this match on tv and need to explain who their champ got pinned by to their larger audience.

Whoa, Windsor beat Itoh for the international title. Funniest thing was her gear got lost at the airport so sheās wearing Chris Brookes kick pads lol Definitely a surprising result, honestly. Wonder what the reason is behind the upset. I suppose it may be because Itoh has a few overseas bookings, enough to be not included in the upcoming tournament.

Yamashita just pinned Rosa (huge pop in my section lol). She gets a title shot in AEW now.
