The 10th annual Tokyo Princess Cup tournament is over, momentous occasion for a lot of reasons, and a genuinely great performance in the final. Share your thoughts here.

Do you watch TJPW? Why or why not?

Who did you hope was going to win? Who did you expect was going to?

    Great stuff. I’d watch a lot more wrestling from Japan if the shows didn’t start so late/early where I am. Especially TJPW/Stardom.

    This could be a great place to discuss the event itself. I’d pin the thread but I think some instances are still struggling to see pinned posts on Kbin :/

      I love TJPW and DDT, but I’m still at work when the shows are live. My main reason for being excited for All In is that I’ll actually be home to watch it.

      Man, I hear you on the timezones issue. I’m in Europe so I am mostly fine when it comes to Japanese shows but dodging spoilers for American shows is a whole undertaking.

      I got the ending of Omega vs Page way back when and imposed a social media moratorium after any PPV I care about to never have it happen again, but it also means I often just skip around to the matches I really want to see blind and then accept the possible spoilers for everything else because with AEW it’s usually ~4 hours of content on a Monday morning and I got work at some point.

      Up to you on the pinning stuff, I can tell you that Sync for Lemmy shows the pinned threads fine to my account on lemmy.world.

        You nailed it. It’s hard not to see spoilers. And once I know what happens I’m not as interested in watching. I feel the same way about movies, TV shows, even the sports I watch.

        I’ve pinned the thread for now. Hopefully that brings a few more TJPW fans here.

          Thankfully spoilers don’t really make me uninterested, but they definitely take that frantic edge off the ending of matches sometimes.

          For example I was genuinely on the edge of my seat sweating at the ending of the tournament final, just because of how believable of a chance they had Kamiyu earn by the end. I would not have believed it at all had i known the ending, obviously.
