the story of HIROMU HATERS *gun sounds* *flex bombs*

SURGICAL SUMMER.

LOS INGOBERNABLES WORLD DOMINATION.

You’ve got El Idolo y Zelina. Singlehandedly landed the big money deal for Smackdown just because they were added to the roster. THAT’S A BILLION DOLLAR COUPLE.

Then you’ve got RUSH who will main event the biggest Mask vs. Hair main event since...well...okay therewasthatpsychoclowndrwagnerjuniormatchbut THERE WAS NO SWAG in that match and Triplemania was TRASH. Vampiro was a SIDEKICK with his own show. *flex bomb*

Back to Rush tho, LA BESTIA DEL RING and TERRIBLE are once again headlining Arena Mexico packed to the rafters to see Los Ingobernables cash out a legend, L.A. Park. Crazy how everyone knows the eventual outcome but still question if L.A. Park will go through with this. Shoot, CMLL has this bag SECURED. L.A. Park has the whole family coming through getting a payday getting to look good next to the best stable in Mexico. *kicks an invisible football across the office* *admires it’s sail across the office*

So then there’s Naito, who’s going to make his journey into the G1 going ESPALDA CON ESPALDA (get used to it, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr) by stepping over the washed sucka ass CHRISTOPHER JERICHO. CHRISTOPHER JERICHO followed orders from angry god Kevin Owens and went back to New Japan after failing to win the GREATEST ROYAL RUMBLE to be held under an oppressive regime. So CHRISTOPHER JERICHO decides to come at the set? really? Making cute ass bootlegs like you live at the swap meet. You thot. Wearing fashionova to New Japan press conferences, I saw you doggy. Naito’s coming away with an easy win. I hope that IC belt is in Yoshitatsu’s crib. Then you have EVIL and SANADA who made Beatlemania look like the common cold. Europeans of every accent mumbled something unintelligible before fainting at the feat of the best tag team in the world. *gun sounds* yeah young bucks, get ready for that fight. You can’t just come through with the wild superkick and think you’re gonna be champs just like that. Better recognize kid, The set is keeping those titles. Done deal.

BUSHI? My guy, what an effort. You beat Ospreay so at least there’s a title shot waiting for you. Nothing to be ashamed of. There’s riches for you yet in the junior tag division.

Let’s talk about Hiromu. I see all of you on twitter talking that head just ASSUMING KUSHIDA is going to sail on through to the finals. *sigh* *drinks fiji water* *contemplates* You forgot one thing.

D.

Hiromu has adopted a nasty effective triangle choke that will catch that marty mcfly wanna be and send Hiromu into the finals LIKE I SAID HE WOULD against Taiji Ishimori. I predict that this will be the juniors match that sets the damn standard in the division. It doesn’t have to be crazy like Hiromu/Dragon Lee, it doesn’t have to be a Zack Sabre Jr. match, but it’s gonna be tough, it’s gonna be hype and you’re gonna see a thing or two you haven’t expected. Trust me when I say go ahead and give all of your energy to Hiromu Takahashi to beat KUSHIDA and then again to be Taiji Ishimori. Do it and I will bless you with the best Dominion you will ever see. After party at the House of Chicken and Waffles in Jack London Square. I’ve never seen so many people go out of their way to praise such a washed album by Kanye. I put on “Black Skinhead” when I need to kick the doors in and make shit happen. “Heard Em Say” is my favorite song. I love Kanye and know more about Kanye than 99% of the people who follow up my criticism with “oh, but are you a fan, or...” listen, I’m a Kanye historian. Respect your OG. This Kanye album in terms of music is funny because Kanye will never lose the ability to use vocals, music and funny lyrics to create an enjoyable vibe. But! Does that make it a good song? Take “I Thought About Killing You” for instance. The second half of the track has this serious Suicideyear type vibe that kanye hits a few licks off of and it’s a cool sensation, it’s a cool sound. But this isn’t something you’d think the guy who made “Late” or “Flashing Lights” would put out in the world. The theme goes on throughout the album. Lots of almost or good enough to make your headnod, but it’s certainly not worth all of the hype people are putting out there. Especially waiting around looking at beautiful wyoming scenery waiting for an album drop. lol i slept and i woke up and i put the shits on and then i had a burrito. take it easy stans.

lol the same people who dissed drake for wearing blackface in a photoshoot are the same dudes who are saying Kanye’s politics don’t matter. *smh* what a world to live in.  

jr smith was always gonna be jr smith which includes taking the blame from George Hill who was the real choker. jr smith was just as shocked as we all were that George Hill was a choke artist. we need those george hill “damn, thanks brotha for taking the heat off me” memes to come through. warriors in 5. party at lake merritt. pusha’s daytona is better than people give it credit. the whitney photo was mad disrespect but the bars are insane. “if you know you know” should be right there with jay rock’s “win” as the theme to NXT Takeover Chicago. nxt definitely needs more hip hop themes. and not from wack ass hip hop, let’s get some freddie gibbs and madlib or if you need rock, lets get TRASH TALK. That would be tough.

bought my ticket to the WE WATCH WRESTLING live podcast taking place just right around the corner from popeyes chicken on geneva avenue and more importantly just a mile down the road from the cow palace where that G’D up Special takes place in the 415. after the announcements for pwg’s threemendous at the Globe, I was pretty dead set on going down but I’m thinking about just doing the G1 special since it’s here in SF and then putting all of my chips and holiday cash into BOLA. Threemendous is a great card, but i’d rather really save hard and do it up for BOLA. That’s going to be at least $250 for all three days together in GA. Shoutout to all of the front row ballers.

hiromu v. dragon lee, ON SIGHT in osaka prefecture: bosj25 thoughts and prayers.

i was lost for a minute after the fourth no-sell deadlift german. thoughts raced through my mind, wait no, doubts raced through my mind. the crowd was there and polite for other matches but they came alive when Dragon Lee emerged. they showed so much love when hiromu came out. it was going to be a beautiful day. hiromu would bounce back from the lost to el desperado. there’s no way he could emerge from this match with only two points and catch up to Dragon Lee. 

is that a cloud? 

that match was fucking ridiculous. meltzer is right, it’s not the best match they’ve ever had. i remember the first match i ever saw of theirs, back when hiromu was kaimatachi. I was told i had to give this kaimatachi dude a chance. shit was reckless. violent. an exhibition of how much neither of these dudes give a fuck after the bell rings. you can tell either by blood or by association they fucking breathe this ingobernable shit. you saw the soccer ball sail into the crowd, you saw the tranquilo pose in the middle of the ring. if not for this beautiful rivalry and dragon lee’s babyface reputation, i’d love to see those two really tear up tag divisions across the world. golden lovers. young bucks. all 12 shaolin monks from OVE. they’d destroy them all. 

but nah, they’re made to wow audiences across the world. i’m not sure why i felt sad when hiromu lost. they had one hell of a match that i actually went out of my way not to spoil beforehand. i’m not sure if i would’ve been happy to watch it if i knew the result, but what a stupid thought, right? it was worth my NJPWworld subscription alone. it wasn’t the most picture perfect day, but i’ll settle with a good comeback story. 

BUSHI, Hiromu and Naito met up with Tokyo Sports at the family restaurant where they discussed the BOSJ25 so far. at that point, BUSHI had lost his first three matches for the third year in a row. he said he wanted to channel Naito’s 5-4 G1 climax victory. after ditching the check and sticking Tokyo Sports with the bill, BUSHI came away with more than just hamburger steak. after that interview he beat the IWGP champion Will Ospreay. regardless if he doesn’t get another win for the remainder of the tournament, he has staked his claim to a rematch for that title. of course taiji ishimori will have something to say about who goes first. 

the road is still wide open for all competitors in the tournament. tiger mask and flip gordon are overperforming to everyone’s surprise, while Dragon Lee soars to the top of b block like he belongs there. this week’s matches will show a little more urgency, a little more desperation, a little more joy and a little more sadness. every night we’ll pour one out for someone eliminated. but that final at korakuen will be something to see for sure. 

best of the best of the super juniors so far mixtape

ishimori vs. ospreay, night one

dragon lee vs. sho, night two

takahashi vs. scurll, night two

taguchi vs. dragon lee, night four

ospreay vs. yoh, night five

dragon lee vs. hiromu, night six

bushi vs. ospreay, night seven

I still have to catch up on night eight before the next batch of VODs get released. 

realistically, i’d like to see an ishimori/dragon lee final. it would suck seeing hiromu not get the nod at Dominion but only Gedo gets what he wants.

flip gordon makes it too easy for people to hate on him. i don’t dislike him like a lot of people do for his stupid flat earth tweets or that kip up he does that draws nuclear heat from those who don’t want to watch him on a hard cam in the first place. but i see the positive in flip. thanks to the young bucks and cody, he’s more relevant than ever and a 6 point run during the BOSJ is a good result if the tournament was over...we still have another full week! i wouldn’t mind seeing him pop in every once in a while.

ach wins the best BOSJ twitter award. he has fans at delta airlines, he wears dragon ball z masks and he’s having a blast. he was one of my guesses as to who would be the final three announced for BOSJ25 and i’m glad he’s cleaning up. even though he didn’t make it in the mixtape, i appreciate the homie.

dubdubyaeee sent me one of their surveys. shitted on em. i DID big up live attendance network specials with the selfish hope they do another beast from the east joint and show that smackdown four way main event between aj styles, shinsuke nakamura, samoa joe and THE HOMIE: daniel bryan. i just want all four of em to walk out to biggie’s “juicy” because they all deserve to walk into a sold out sumo hall and rock it for the crowd. i would just love to be able to witness it.

i hope kairi sane and asuka are on the tour too. there’s been too much made of their current booking situations being complete failures. i get that joshi fans who also watch the WWE want to see them own their divisions and be showcased to the best of the WWE’s ability.  getting pinned by Lacey Evans isn’t exactly the best of the WWE’s ability, so i feel you...however kairi sane is still the first ever MYC winner. asuka might be screwed out of winning the smackdown title from carmella at money in the bank, but she’s still the first women’s royal rumble winner, still was undefeated for hella days and still SLAPPED RONDA ROUSEY’S HAND AWAY. io shirai (maybe mayu too?) will be just fine.

i wonder what the venn diagram of people who showed up to the enzo shit in time’s square yesterday and those who voted for trump in 2016. is it just a circle? who’s baby was that? should we call CPS? 

finally saw la parka/volador jr/flyer vs. RUSH/bestia/terrible shit was dope. that could go on the mixtape too as like an interlude. i wonder if production needed anything that was in that suitcase la parka broke over Rush. i love how tenative meltzer, alvarez and dr. lucha sound when they talk about la parka vs. rush. everyone expects it to go to shit but i think ultimately everyone is hoping they have a successful hair vs. mask match. you should’ve heard arena mexico though man, shit was live as hell. la parka had the crowd rollin all night. rush and pierroth had the crowd booing so hard, it was wild. exceptional night of action, luchablog homie says they may have gone over 10K at arena mexico. just hold on through the summer and the cmll anniversary show will be one to remember.

listening to:

joe budden podcast, radio strong style podcast, jay rock - “win”, anderson paak - “bubblin”, pusha t - DAYTONA. 

thoughts and prayers to lyin ted cruz.
