The way I've always seen Kenny come off as a drug for Okada after their first singles match. Like man got addicted to this very particular, super crazy high that he can't get from anyone else so he's got to have more but also it's that premium gourmet stuff so he uses it sparsely lest the affect starts decreasing. Denying himself as much as possible and only giving in to his cravings once the itch becomes too much to ignore.

There have been some rumors going around the English-language wrestling media claiming that Desperado is a freelancer and that he isn't signed currently to New Japan. Desperado has directly said that these rumors are false.
Tumblr media
The first tweet reads:
"Foreign Media reports that El Desperado is not currently signed to New Japan Pro Wrestling
Since the GCW offer was through New Japan Pro Wrestling, I'm not sure about the credibility of this."
Desperado replies: "Ahh, this is a lie."
The day before this, Desperado's friend Sato Hikaru called out puroresuflow on twitter for claiming that Desperado is a freelancer. The account deleted the tweet after being publicly called out for spreading false information.
Sato Hikaru is fighting Desperado at an upcoming independent show, which he references in his tweet.
Tumblr media
"This is a big lie. If this was true, it wouldn't have been so difficult to arrange his participation in the Kawasaki baseball stadium show. If he was a freelancer I could've just messaged him directly on Line.
I guess there are underhanded fans who lie about having "secret information that only they know" just for attention everywhere, regardless of the country. I saw this tweet in passing and it made me mad."
On the same day, Desperado made a tweet to clarify things too.
Tumblr media
"8/25 Kawasaki
There are many "ex-New Japan wrestlers" who are currently freelancers but
I'm going to the ring against Sato Hikaru as "a wrestler belonging to New Japan Pro Wrestling"
I'm excited just thinking about stepping onto that stage!
It's a fight that I truly couldn't have even imagined happening before this summer!
I wonder what will happen lol
I'm not involved with the ticket sales so please ask Sato about them"

So I can’t believe that in this day and age that wrestling fans STILL have to defend our love of wrestling to idiots who won’t rest with the “wrestling isn’t real” comments. So I’ve made a compilation of many views from different wrestling fans and summarised them so that I don’t have to constantly explain myself year after year. Putting this under the cut because it’s LONG.
The problem with non wrestling fans is they see and judge wrestling as they would see and judge a SPORT. They try to see it like they’d see football or chess or boxing. Non wrestling fans refuse to look at wrestling for what it is, that is the key problem. They see it as a fake fight and can’t comprehend why you’d watch a fake fight unless you didn’t know it was real. They are looking through a sports lens as if we watch wrestling for an actual fight, to genuinely see people hurt each other for a “real” win. I’ve had people ask why I don’t just watch MMA and like? Listen I don’t care about real fighting, to me that is boring. And imo it’s on the lacking end talent-wise, hitting someone hard/knocking them out with no story behind it and no showcase of skill doesn’t get me going. Wrestling on the other hand is INSANE. Do you know the skill behind trying to perfect a move so well that it doesn’t injure someone? It’s easier to injure someone, it takes talent to execute something and not hurt someone. Real fight competitions just aren’t for me.
Pro wrestling is live action stunt work combined with theatre, soap opera, athletics etc. It’s practically like watching an action movie with theatrical dramatics and acrobatics.
So step back and stop looking at wrestling as a sport and maybe you’ll understand how humans appreciate entertainment in different forms.
Asking how wrestling fans enjoy wrestling knowing it’s scripted is like asking how the world watches movies or dramas or theatre. You know Godzilla doesn’t exist, Tom Cruise didn’t really jump from up there! The hulk isn’t real! It’s universally known that Game of Thrones is fantasy etc. It’s entertainment and storytelling and that’s why we love wrestling. I am not watching wrestling for the same reasons I watch a football match. Fans watch wrestling with the same understanding that it is as real as The Avengers.
Wrestling is an art form. I’ve not found anything else in this world that can invoke stronger emotions in masses of people. And wrestling fans all watch for different reasons. Some of us deeply connect to storytelling, for the same reason we enjoy television, we immerse ourselves into the characters in wrestling and follow their journeys. Some of us watch it for the spectacle, the excitement, the pyro, the massive crowds, the music. Some of us watch it for the athleticism, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of watching a beautiful moonsault from the top of a steel cage! Where else are you gonna experience that? Others watch it for the creativity and different wrestling styles. Unless you’re a wrestling fan, you won’t be able to appreciate a true technical wrestling match or look into the intricacies of what goes into incredible ring psychology and the ability to tell a story. For me, I love it for all the above and beyond.
“Regardless of how you start though, eventually you'll love it all. Every fucking second. You'll be spending countless hours absorbing every bit of it you can because of the way it can make you feel. It's utterly unique in just how baffling it is to outsiders, and how beloved it is to insiders.”
Scripted doesn’t mean not real. Bumps are VERY real and if you wanna debate that then step into the ring.
To be able to do what wrestlers do and not kill themselves in the process is amazing. Think about an action movie happening live, right before your eyes WITHOUT stunt doubles, that’s wrestling! The risk is INSANE. Yet for some wild reason people never think of it that way. Boxers have one fight every now and then but wrestlers put their bodies on the line every week. For being some of the most resilient people in the world they don’t get half the respect they should. You will not find live action stunt work anywhere else in the world like you do in wrestling and a lot of wrestling is freestyled (minus huge spots etc). Wrestlers are constantly thinking on the go of what they can do next to entertain the crowd whilst getting thrown through tables.
“If anyone ever tries to tell you our sport is fake, I want you to tell them, "Next time you find a freestyle live action stuntwork and television drama style entertainment event all in one place, you let me know."
Honestly I don’t get why the use of the term “fake” is even used simply bc it’s not an actual competition. I dare you to go up to a wrestler and call what they do “fake” how about you step into the ring, get powerbombed, thrown from the top rope and kicked and punched in the gut and then come back and call that fake. That word is an insult towards performers who put their body at risk and lose their lives and careers for our entertainment.
Imagine being a grown ass man and losing your shit over a scripted GoT fight scene and then having the audacity to turn around and call wrestling fake 🤣🤣🤣
You do not have to understand or enjoy wrestling but please, have some genuine human decency and respect for this incredible art form.

Wrestling Positivity time!
It's Wednesday and you know what that means!
I wanna start a chain: Give me your favorite wrestler now vs the first one you liked!
I'll go first! My first favorite wrestler was Shawn Michaels and my current favorite keeps switching between Chuck Taylor and Hangman Page. You can see a pattern here

DDT's biggest show of the year, Wrestle Peter Pan, is coming up on July 23rd. The show has two special singles matches that NJPW and AEW fans might be interested in: Takeshita is fighting Ueno Yuki, and El Desperado is fighting Sasaki Daisuke.
And DDT's wrestling streaming service, Wrestle Universe, is running a promotional free trial right now, so you can watch the show for free!
The free trial gives you a free week of Wrestle Universe. (After that it costs around the same as NJPW's subscription service, which comes out to around $7 USD per month) Wrestle Universe also has a good app, and a subscription includes a number of other promotions along with DDT.
DDT has possibly the widest variety of matches and styles of any wrestling promotion, and their Peter Pan show is always a good time. If you've been wanting to give the promotion a try, this weekend would be a great time to do so. Especially if you're a fan of El Desperado or Takeshita.

Work is finally slowing down, going to try to post something by 9.
Meanwhile, a wrestler or tag team or faction in my inbox and I’ll give my opinion on them or what my first impression of them was.

here's a very condensed and short guide on how to watch professional wrestling for newbies and how to pirate it! works for AEW, WWE, NJPW and most other promotions! personal recommendations:
to follow a guy (gn): BETTER THAN YOU - Complete CM Punk vs MJF Feud on youtube (47:21 mins)
to follow a company: AEW's most recent episode at time of you reading this (1 hour for Rampage, 2 hours for Dynamite)
big events: NJPW's wrestle kingdom 2023 day 1 (6 hours+) (as of writing, the links on this page work) OR AEW Revolution 2023 (4 hours)
