Not to mention the off-the-wall wrestler-booked stuff like the Despe Invitacional and Superhuman Taiji Ishimori Gets Ridiculous…😳

I've been seeing a lot of AEW fans who aren't sure how to watch the upcoming Wrestle Dynasty show, so here's a brief explanation!

Wrestle Kingdom, Wrestle Dynasty, and NJPW's big "mystery card" show New Year Dash are all included with a NJPW World subscription at no additional charge! All you have to do to watch them is subscribe to NJPW World.

A 30-day NJPW World subscription is $9.99 USD. The subscription will allow you to watch shows as they're streaming live, and watch them in the archive after they've aired. It also gives you access to the rest of the videos in the archive.

You can subscribe whenever you want - you'll get 30 days of membership starting when you subscribe. Just be aware that the subscription renews on Japan-time, so if you only want a month, cancel a day early to make sure the time zone difference doesn't get you.

All three shows will have live English language commentary. To change the commentary language on any match, click the gear button on the bottom left corner of the video and select English audio.

The app should default to English. The website is also available in English - If it doesn't default to English for you, just click the button on the upper right corner to switch it to English.

You can subscribe in the app, but I don't know if the app stores add any additional fees, so I'd suggest subscribing on their website to be safe.

Shows taking place in Japan will of course happen on Japan-time, which tends to be late night or early morning in the US.

Wrestle Dynasty is scheduled early to accommodate American viewers - it starts at 1 PM Japan-time, which is 11 pm EST / 8 pm PST. If you want to watch the livestream, I suggest hitting play about 5 minutes before the show is actually scheduled to begin - sometimes the service gets overwhelmed right as big shows start and everyone starts watching all at once.

The other shows air at more standard times in Japan, which means later at night from the US, so if you want to watch them live from the US you'll have to wake up early or stay up late. But you can also just watch the archived shows later.

Wrestle Kingdom is New Japan's biggest show of the year, and absolutely worth watching. It will air on 1/4, the day before Wrestle Dynasty. Each year of NJPW is structured like a season of a TV show, and Wrestle Kingdom is the climax of the different stories from the previous year. You can think of it as the "season finale" for NJPW's 2024 season.

New Year Dash is New Japan's annual "surprise card" show. It will be on 1/6 this year. New Year Dash functions as the first episode of a "new season" of NJPW, by introducing new storylines for the new year. There are always some big surprising events, and it's likely that at least some wrestlers from AEW will show up for it this year.

I think I dislike Kyle Fletcher primarily because his heel turn has robbed us ALL of goober moments like this. 😔

Take it off, take it off, take it off! (x)

[daughteroftitania]

Can we do this here on Tumblr? I’ll start:

I’m going to hug Will Ospreay and get Chris Brookes to sit on my lap. What, at the same time? Sure…why not. 😂

this will be the year I finally convince everyone to abandon New Year's resolutions in favour of Yule Boasting, the clearly superior tradition

HOLY SHIT I JUST GOT MY FIRST USER SUBSCRIPTION ON AO3!

I have several capital-A Authors in my circle of acquaintances/friends (like, with agents and a publishing house and everything). As such, the imposter syndrome with me is very, very real. (Currently having trouble finishing my current WIP because of it…😞)

So, the idea that someone likes my writing enough that they want to be notified when I post something new is…pretty mind blowing to me.

I know that AO3 has very good reasons for not telling authors who their subscribers are, so I’m not going to ask.

Just…whoever you are…thank you. You’ve made my fucking year.

If Ricochet wasn’t in his Dickhead Era, I would have said him. Now though? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Will ospreay (known golden retriever man) has nearly acquired the complete spectrum of cat boyfriends in Orange Cassidy (orange cat), Darby Allin (sphinx cat), and (ex) Kyle Fletcher (calico cat)

All he needs now is a goofy black cat boyfriend

Ok, where do I get a copy of the current Rolling Stone Japan, because daaaaaaaamn. 🥵

[daughteroftitania]

The number of times I’ve used this picture lately to identify something I want…it’s getting into meme territory for me. 😆

So, I figured I’d post the blank version so that people could also have the pleasure. 😁

(Also, every time I see it I hear ZSJ going “Hoshī desu” in my brain and I just…short-circuit for a bit. 🥵🫠)

Screenshot taken from this video on YouTube (the whole promo exchange is hilarious and you should watch it, but head to about 2:40 for the bit in question):
