YouTube video by Wonderkid Jonny Storm - LIFE Michinoku Pro Wrestling Japan. A historic moment when the Dirt Bike Kid got a comeuppance

So Jonny Storm just casually dropped on youtube his footage from his video camera in the hall when Sasuke shot on Dirtbike Kid with him reacting as it was happening. "he was meant to bump on the third one - oh shit!"

One of @jessecollings.bsky.social's pet points on this show was that there was less top-line proper heavyweight main event action in Japan. I think NJPW might have been listening. Goto vs. Oiwa today was exactly that.

Go out of your way to watch Oleg Boltin vs Hartley Jackson from NJPW today. Oleg needs to start being recognised as a genuinely excellent wrestler. There's no asterisk there anymore, if there ever was.

Other than my children, my two greatest loves are WCW and Bert Prentice.

@alan4l.bsky.social allowed me a platform to talk about both in our yearly chat on the @pwtorch.bsky.social website.

It was a blast and I hope you all enjoy!

Oh man, Jake Lee with the most cringe swing and a miss of 2026 so far with his version of Britt Baker's lockjaw. Oh my God the second hand embarrassment for him. I haven't seen a spot die like that in Korakuen in years.

All that said, I have hope for Myron Reed still. I thought he looked good in that Slater match, and I haven't quite figured out if his quieter disposition than his partners is because he's got something going on there (in an interesting way) or he might just be boring and bland. But we'll see!

They were better and more dynamic in 2018 if you ask me. But it's no surprise that they have completely regressed given where their careers have taken them in the last few years.

CRU look notably better and I saw a lot of people saying this. It was quite glaring.

completely uninteresting in how they think about or approach pro wrestling.

Everything about the gimmick is lazy shite.

So I needed to see SOMETHING in their in-ring to give me a modicum of hope. They were actually worse than my worst fears. I was surprised how off the pace they were.

- And now for ..... The Rascals....

What can I say. Every instinct I had about what these guys would be despite having not kept up with them in five years plus, was sadly correct.

Their in character promos/skits were awful. Their out of character sit-down with Renee exposed them as....

- Mox promo was like mid-range for him, which is still pretty much better than anyone else.

- Every Darby match feels like an event now. It's an amazing achievement. He wrestles just infrequently enough, and does something insane enough in every match to make them all feel like "a thing".

Collision thoughts (still have to watch the main).

- Very impressed with Ciampa's effort. So much so I'm willing to forgive the "6,7". He must never even dream of doing it again. A reminder that behind the gimmick he's a fucking dork.

- Okada vs. Priest was everything I wanted it to be.

There's no way Okada vs. Priest on Collision isn't at the very least interesting and the type of match you're glued to. I just want to see what it looks like!
