Operation HEAT: A Difference In Power
—
To reclaim the SAMURAI GYM signboard, but also take Minoru’s IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship from his grasp, YUJIRO would be the next from the group to step-up. On May 22, 2007, he’d get what was built as a double crown match. Winner would indeed take all in this one.

The Extreme Sauna of Shunma Katsumata
—
There’s few wrestlers in DDT that are as creative as Shunma Katsumata.

The first time I saw Shunma wrestling I knew that crazy bastard just hated…

The Weight of Legacy – ISHIN vs Mochizuki Junior
—
In perhaps no other storytelling medium is legacy as important as it is in wrestling. There are no different installments or clear breaks in continuity. The beginning and end of a character’s journey are marked by the abilities and limitations of a real person’s body as they grow, age and get injured. Having someone new…

Kenoh. The protagonist of Pro-Wrestling. Part Two.
—
After reaching a level of prominence deeming him undeniable in NOAH, the winds of change would take Kenoh beyond the ark itself. Through opposing bigger names and brands, while continuing on “internal” growth through more familiar opposition, Kenoh would go on a path to become the protagonist of pro wrestling, getting his promotion, his unit…

Kenoh. The protagonist of Pro-Wrestling. Part One.

In Pro Wrestling, like in other mediums, part of the key to success is not going unnoticed. Making our presence felt in some way. There is one wrestler out there, vowing to change the hierarchy for years, now taking this statement to a whole other level.
