Yuna Manase not able to compete today #ganpro

Pre-show pro-wrestling rules explanation/demonstration #ganpro

Can’t believe I only paid ¥3000 for this seat

The secret is to like bands who are not popular

HUB Fish and Chips now includes salad. We used to be a country.

Another thing I really liked about the show was that every match felt different, while still being part of a coherent show

Went to the GanPro show on a whim today, mostly because I had nothing better to do. I enjoyed the whole show, but really fucking loved the 6-man main event despite being completely unfamiliar with most of the participants. Just goes to show it’s always worth taking a gamble on live wrestling #ganpro

After seeing Hot Milk live, I can now give my updated rankings of bands with “hot” in their name:

1. Hot Chip
2. Hot Chocolate
3. Eddie & the Hot Rods
4. Hot Hot Heat
28. Hot Milk
567. Red Hot Chill Peppers #summersonic

It was the one where the main event ended when the Big Show ran in - which led to the title being “held in abeyance” . Battleground 2013, maybe?

After years of watching wrestling in Japan, I’ve finally made it to this little place #stardom #kbshall

Thanks! I’m travelling back to Tokyo after the show and I’m trying to figure out what time to book the Shinkansen

How long is Saturday’s KBS show likely to last? Under 3 hours? #stardom

2008 felt much more optimistic. You felt confident the company was fully committed to pushing Tana and Nak as top stars, and the rise of Goto felt truly exciting.

Literally all the wrestlers are forgetting there’s an entrance ramp at FACE tonight #SEAd

I have no marketable skills, no technical qualifications, I’ve let coding/web development pass me by. You know what I am good at, though? Getting to the front at gigs. #winning

Stardom is probably the easiest for a Western fan to get into.

I prefer the idea that he just wears his gear 24/7 - lying around the house, doing his grocery shopping, going to the dentist - always has his gear on.

Scoop: the guy who does the Pure-j title declarations takes the same train home as me. This is a major surprise: I would have thought he gets a limo on the company dime.
