Japanese wrestling media discourse
I did some translation for one of the ShuPro articles that people were like all screaming about, and then I actually manually did it, and like every translation was wrong. The entire discourse was wrong.
Hanan's potential
If you told me Hanan is the biggest star in five years, I'd believe you, but it's not happening yet. She has such a huge range of possibilities.
WrestleMania attendance
I'm about 80 percent sure now I'm going to WrestleMania. I've been on and off trying to make sure it works, I'm transitioning work schedules and stuff right now, so it's kind of a nightmare, but I'm 90 percent sure I'm going now that the last couple lineups pushed me.
STARDOM booking
I knew I knew Siori wasn't winning, so whatever, but I was at least hoping we were going to get Siori versus Maki Ito, but I guess they're saving that for something.
STARDOM Cinderella Tournament
Stardom is doing really well again. The Cinderella tournament has been fantastic so far.
Rian defeating Yuna Mizumori in 7 minutes and 44 seconds—the biggest run of her career has to be this.
STARDOM AI-generated graphics

Just Tap Out (JTO) production quality
I'm gonna try to fight through it eventually to watch Mirai. I'm gonna watch the Rena and Azusa match eventually, but it's really a struggle to actually make it work.
Ice Ribbon coverage
I'm now all in on Ice Ribbon, so that's my 11th promotion that I'm watching. If they were easier to watch, they'd be on my regular list too.
STARDOM match analysis
The only thing holding this back from a three is just the experience gap. I'm sorry, Ane, as much as I love her, is not going to beat Tomoka, so you're not going to pay attention that deep.
