the thing about marigold right now is it’s going to be hard to hang onto people in the current joshi scene if you’re not hot (and paying well), because the scene as a whole is so hot and people have so many options. freelancers post on here a ton about how much money they’re making

i try not to hate on cagematch too much these days because A) generally think t's kinda boring to complain about other people's opinions & B) on joshi especially these days i actually tend to be pretty close to them. but they have yamashita vs. endo at a 7.2 out of 10?? what???

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

wanted to fast forward to the WP main to make sure i got it in before i go out today, fuck that match was so awesome. not super bummed that suzume lost cause i never really thought she had a chance tbh lmao, but with performances like that i *know* she'll hold this belt someday

wait he’s the first goalie in RANGERS HISTORY to score a goal???? ahahahaha what

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

ok i think i just disproved my own “i’m a curse on my hockey teams” theory because i turned this game on finally and igor IMMEDIATELY scored into the empty net, lmaoooo. glad i got to see that at least!

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

shin sakura hirota calmly and pleasantly singing her entire entrance song while an enraged minoru suzuki (because he was just gang pinned and eliminated) chases everyone else around ringside with a kendo stick is one of the funnier scenes i've seen in a while

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

not watching the rangers tonight because i had a super busy work day and now i’m trying to get through this final shinjuku face show before my flagship appearance tonight, so congratulations in advance to them on their 6-0 victory

two games in and i'm already ready to give up on both my hockey teams i think. having two teams is all fun and games until they both suck ass

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

wow a hockey team i’m rooting for scored a goal, didn’t know that was allowed

lmao what the fuck, this has to be the most unhinged collection of definitions i’ve seen in a while

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

after finishing that pretty mid stardom korakuen i think my big take really has nothing to do with what everyone else is talking about, but: i miss sayaka kurara. i think the promotion just feels less hot without her around as this sort of rising star figure. hope she can return soon

021

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

ticket info for the stardom xmas eve korakuen just went out (for anyone else going). FC presale opens 10/2 at noon japan time, general on sale 10/19

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

ah ok thanks, back to stardom it is!

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

rangers had looked way better in the 3rd so far so i fucking knew that boston goal was coming lmao

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

rangers look like absolute ass here but are somehow not losing yet lol

000

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

i barely paid attention last year and then they had a bunch more changes anyway so just realizing i know pretty much nobody on this rangers team by number now lmao. i used to always know everybody

000

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

paused the stardom show for the new york rangers for some reason……

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

thought matoi was already looking awesome in the opener on today’s stardom korakuen and then she fucking tapped out kiyoka on top of it! hell yea!!

christ i actually thought “universally beloved wrestler suddenly and unexpectedly dying” might be the one and only thing that couldn’t get turned into US wrestling culture war fodder (or at least not *immediately*??) and i now feel very naive

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

the PAC news is shocking beyond measure and so sad. i'll always remember him for his DG run, especially being a major part of the BW-JIII feud in 2011 (still one of my favorite periods in wrestling history). you could point to so much though because the dude had such a long & varied career. RIP

man i don't even know where to begin with that gabe/drilla match. that will be a fun one to record audio on tomorrow lol

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

for as dumb as the skyfall has looked in the multiman tags and shit it somehow looked even worse in an actual competitive title match lmao. somebody needs to talk to shun, your finish fucking sucks dude

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

i'm not sure there is a single greater waste of talent by any promotion than taichi in NJPW in 2026

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

daisy monkey vs. arai/yamashita easily the best thing on the last TJPW FACE show, would go **** flat. challenger pinning the champion on the last hype show doesn't usually work out great for them, but hopefully the bee can make it work for her!

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

anyway time to watch a live tokyo joshi show now woo. pro wrestling is pretty great!!

020

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

unsurprisingly the main event (sareee & takumi iroha vs. VENY & hazuki) was absolutely fucking incredible, ****3/4 for me and going into my top 10 MOTY list. crazy that i have two matches from the last 4 days in there now lol, but that just happens sometimes

010

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

watching today's sareee-ism show and fucking loved yuuka & fujimoto vs. LINA & toyota, would go like ****1/4. hopefully more people just found out how great yuuka is!! watch ice ribbon!!!

010

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

i’m out of tokyo for like three days total on this next trip and somehow one of those days is what they just announced the first ever sareee-ism korakuen for??? fuck me

010

john @justoneenby.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

three days late on this but if you haven't seen it yet, fucking run don't walk to watch the battle of the yumas, anzai vs. aoyagi, from their 9/22 korakuen (oudou tournament semifinals). absolutely incredible fucking match- i went ****3/4 and it's going into my MOTY top 10
