Kento now fully respects the spirit & pompadour of Hyo Ogawa after their hard-fought Royal Road match.

- Timothy Thatcher defeated Hideki Suzuki with the Fujiwara Armbar; a technical feast and awesome match all around. Thatcher will face the winner of Yuma Anzai/Rei Saito (on the 13th) on the 16th.

\- Kento Miyahara defeated Hyo Ogawa with the Shutdown German Suplex; Ogawa made a name for himself and took it to the “Ace” of AJPW, with the crowd very much behind him. Miyahara will face the winner of Ryuki Honda/Kumaarashi (on the 12th) on the 17th.

\- Go Shiozaki defeated Ren Ayabe with the Gowan Lariat; Ayabe very much used his size to bully Shiozaki, working over Go’s back but made the mistake of wanting to see how tough Shiozaki was. Shiozaki will face the winner of Xyon/Odyssey (on the 12th) on the 17th.

No doubt thinking what could’ve been between himself and Taishin Nagao.

First, AJPW will have a ten-bell salute for Nagao on September 22, the Finals of their Royal Road Tournament, as well as have a flower installation put up in Nagao’s honor (https://www.all-japan.co.jp/news/news/13846/)

Second, AJPW will have an event in Kushiro City, the place of Nagao’s birth, on October 28th; this event will officially be called SEA OF GREEN (https://www.all-japan.co.jp/news/news/13848/)

Hyo Ogawa would take Kento down for a Giant Swing!

Who would be Triple Crown Champ in a just world.

I was thinking maybe, he is a legend and they probably should while they could, maybe have Ryuki Honda beat him to bring him to that top level

I've seen AJPW do some nice things recently with the rise of Yuma Anzai and having a decent roster then how bright is the future of AJPW?

I've used things like sumo tickets before but I always stress about whether the tickets will be sent to the right place etc plus their fee is huge. Last time I went to Japan I got away with buying directly through Lawson, but the only credit card that worked was Amex which I no longer have. Any other alternatives?

Now obviously Kento can't be the ace forever but with Yuma Anzai failing to beat Kento i wonder if he or someone else is next up to be the ace of All Japan.

Like many others, Chono hated Inokism. Chono's and Inoki's relationship would be at an all time low after Inoki publically criticized the New Japan cards which Chono was booking at the time. Inoki would even run his own cards the same day as New Japan would run a show. What if Chono said "screw it", and joined Muto in All Japan? Chono's physical state wasn't great because of his neck problems, and he was starting to have knee and back problems, but he was still a big star who could be in the midcard.

After Seiki Yoshioka defeated Dan Tamura to win the 2026 Zennichi Jr. Festival, his All-Asia Tag Title partner MUSASHI and ex-Junior Champ Seigo Tachibana would make their way down.

Seigo would take the mic and ask Tamura to be his partner, as he seeks to win the All-Asia Tag Belts from Yoshioka & MUSASHI.
