The Greatest Title Run Ever ™ has come to an end, :(. I still have to look up the amount of defences they had as I’m certain I’ve added one or two more than they actually had.

After Match #4, Kenny Omega had a staredown with IWGP Jr. Champ Prince Devitt. We all know where this is going.

Muscle Sakai turned out to be the surprise winner of the GM Battle Royal. But with him soon retiring he is unable to take the role. Sakai chose Tsurumi Amon, the afro wearing host of the MUSCLE events, to take the job instead.

The DDT48 Election is now well on its way and we already have an update on the polls. There are still several shows left until the voting ends but so far it looks like Danshoku Dino, HARASHIMA & Shigehiro Irie are guaranteed spots if the trend of voting stays like this. I’m a little surprised at how high Irie is, but I guess the guy has really won over the fans.
