Takeshita looking very emotional at that win! I remember first seeing him on AEW Dark and being all in straight away. So much my partner got me a signed Takeshita pic years ago. To see him win #G1Climax35 is incredible.

What a match!! (I am sure there will be some twisty takes and folk will be determined not give that final its flowers) One of the best of the #G1Climax35!!

Jeez-o! What has SHO been up to? Lean as! Y'know, not to be objectifying him or anything. Also, I have missed SHO calling everyone bumpkins.

I don't get the Yuya thing. He is okay, but I don't think he is better than Oiwa, Shota, Yota, Gabe, plus more. He is a fine wrestler. But the internet consensus doesn't scan for me. But even if it did, should've had #G1Climax win? A given that he'll main even the Dome? Seems pretty fast for NJPW.

I don't doubt NJPW for its long-form storytelling. Other companies could rarely do what they achieve. Especially compared to American wrestling. So I can sit in the discomfort & be patient. I might not personally like who is on top. But the pay off when someone comes in who I do like will be sweet!

Just saying this to ensure that we don't allow all English-speaking NJPW fans to be painted as a homogeneous Western Reddit bubble... Whilst I am not a lover of House of Torture, I have not had enough, will not be boycotting the product or slamming Gedo if the #G1Climax35 goes a particular way.

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

I have loved this #G1Climax35. I am a huge Takeshita fan. He has had some of my favourite matches this tournament. But I didn't want him to make it to the final. But I think that is mainly because I am still hurt by the Moxley IWGP belt run last year. Hope Takeshita sticks in NJPW longer.

Can anyone explain if it is an American thing that "mental" is being used as a noun? "Tsuji has the mental." The mental what? Mental strength? Mental fortitude? Mental capacity?

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

From what I am hearing of what is happening on New Japan Reddit, I would probably get mauled for enjoying this #G1Climax35. But more so for not buying the Yuya hype. He is a decent enough wrestler. Hate his promos. And I don't think, as some do, he should be shot to the moon yet. Too soon.

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

Thank fuck! The level of jeopardy I felt there. I felt nauseous. Finlay (and Taichi) have made Block A for me this #G1Climax35. Bloody over the moon he beat Yuya and has made it out of the blocks!

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

I am still thinking about how much I enjoyed their #G1Climax35 match.

020

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

I stopped being online for a bit. But here to say, this #G1Climax35 has been absolutely phenomenal. Takeshita, ELP, Zack, Shingo, Finlay and especially Taichi just lighting up my life. Pretty happy with Callum and Boltin too who are looking so confident and strong this year! 💪🏻

Crowd are eating this up! And rightly so! #njDONTAKU

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

I fucking love Goto. But I don't care what people say, Callum Newman is great. I want Goto to retain, but I am chuffed he is getting this opportunity and I wholeheartedly feel he deserves it. #njDONTAKU

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

Naito isn't even out yet and I have shed a tear. The minute the crowd start chanting his name I will be gone. 😭 #njDONTAKU

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

If El Phantasmo and Konosuke Takeshita had a lifelong feud I would be forever happy. I could watch them wrestle everyday. #njDONTAKU

Last night I dreamed that I was telling Zack Sabre Jr that Mark Brisco was reading my copy of International Booker nominated Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico and was getting through it quicker than me whilst pausing to saw through a glass door.

I got my tickets for AEW Forbidden Door in August. It took a while to decide to go (very tempted with Glasgow), but it was Forbidden Door that got me into New Japan wrestling which is now my beloved promotion and might not get the opportunity again. Very excited now I have tickets and hotel booked!

Just finished watching Dynasty and after a strong start to the year for AEW. For me the build for this PPV was not great. Some of the matches were really great, but ended trying to remind myself why I persevere with AEW. Might be judging unfairly against my beloved NJPW and awesome Sakura Genesis.

I am about to go out on strike next week in face of opportunistic redundancies being threatened by my employer. Lots of organising happened this week and have some union tasks I need to attend to later. But for now... FANTASTICA MANIA!!! 🎉

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Gotta say the last month of AEW has been awesome. Everything in the run up to Grand Slam in Australia was brilliant and the show was great! I hope they do it again and maybe even make it a PPV event Australia. The crowd were awesome and as a viewer it was so fun to see people enjoying it so much.

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

This week has been tough! As an employee and trade unionist, this week has required serious graft and fight. But it is Friday night and I am going to get into my PJs, eat pizza and watch wrestling. Looking forward to seeing fights and not being in them! 😅

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

I really enjoyed #njbitv. The Sumie Sakai retirement match was utterly wonderful. I had so much fun and it seemed like they all did too. It made my heart feel full.

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

I am still salty, so Rocky is lucky that his tag partner is YOH, otherwise I would have been skipping this match. #njbitv #FreeCharlton

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Catching up with #njbitv and, holy shit, the Ishii Vs Gabe match had my jaw on the floor. I can't believe they managed to get Americans to give a standing ovation to a draw! No offence, USA.

Watching the backstage comments from #njdash, and maaaan, I would love for Alex Zayne to be a full-time member of the New Japan roster. Give me more Funky Sauce!!

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

Three consecutive days of wrestling must have been exhausting for all involved. All I did was watch (ie, shout, cry, squeal) and I am knackered. Having to wait 5 days for more NJPW feels on the one hand like a chance to recoup and on the other like a painful wait.

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

I cannot wait for Zack Vs Goto. I obviously love Zack, but I know I will be rooting for Goto because the man is perfect and he has the best hair on earth. #njdash

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

The return of Funky Sauce is the highlight of Dash for me. #njdash I knew wearing my Taguchi tee would pay off!

No Chris to translate in real time is really not ideal at all. #njdash

The famous green owl app Duolingo is going even harder into AI made by stolen content. It's not curated by native speakers so you have no idea if what you're learning is correct. Their algorithm overall tries to hit the happy brain juices instead of helping you learn. So here are some alternatives!

Is it just me or has the card being announced at the top of #njdash immediately sucked out half the fun of Dash? The fact that aren't supposed to know until the music hits is what appeals to me. 🙁

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

I have a coffee and my Taguchi t-shirt on! I am ready for #njdash!

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

Wait! Over on the other platform the AEW fans are seemingly upset because Charlton said "There is no such thing as a good billionaire"? But there isn't. I am grateful for a cool wrestling promotion and wrestlers being in work. But hoarding wealth? Nah, fuck that.

I loved the Women's International Cup match at #njwk. An incredible match in and of itself. But I loved the run up and concept across the different promotions too. I really hope they do this again! 🤞🏻

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

I haven't seen all the upset on here with Charlton's comments. But if it is what I think it was, I am glad he said the stuff he did. I watch AEW and am clear that they are working together. So some kayfabe jibes is fine. Pretty sure AEW will weather it. 💵

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Watched #njwd this afternoon and was absolutely amazed. What a show! The matches were phenomenal. But unlike Tanahashi, I shed more tears yesterday. I cannot wait for Dash tomorrow! I have been looking forward to it for ages!

Wrestle Bean @wrestlebean.bsky.social · 04/01/2025

Hoping everyone enjoys Dynasty tonight that is watching it live. I will be catching up later tomorrow as 3am is too brutal at my age. To be honest, anything that starts past 9:30pm is past my bedtime. 😅
