English Commentary for #TJPW “She knows her way” on 5/16/2026. Commentary starts at the 11:00 min mark of the show on Wrestle Universe. At the end of the semi-main event make sure you move the time to 1:36:23 to stay in synch with me. I explain why in the commentary.
I used to enjoy AJPW and that doesn't mean I now hate it, before that is assumed. I got away from it when they really started focusing on the typical modern style of ring work (I call it car crash wrestling) where wrestlers take extreme bumps and hardly ever sell them. Then they got into far too much comedy for my tastes as well. I've been told by some people that AJPW has settled back into a slower paced style focusing on selling again, and has less comedy than they had just 6 months to a year ago. Is this the case? Just curious. TIA

Previewing TJPW Yes, Wonderland 2026!
Amazing card here coming up in just a few days, streaming LIVE on Wrestle Universe on Sunday, May 3rd.
◯The 1st Match･Singles Match 15-Minute Single Match
Ren Konatsu vs Shion Kanzaki- two of the best rookies around with huge potential square off. Will Ren get her first win ever? Shion is very tough to take down!
◯The 2nd Match･6-man Tag Team Match 20-Minute Single Match
YuuRI & Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki & Chika Nanase: Damn, YuuRI back in TJPW for this one with two solid partners. Nanase will likely be seen as the weak link, but she's got Bumping GRitters as her partners!
◯The 3rd Match･6-man Tag Team Match 20-Minute Single Match
Mizuki & Mei Suruga & Uta Takami vs Yuki Aino & Raku & Pom Harajuku: Everyone loves Pom and Raku and even though they have Aino with them, it's going to be very difficult against a team like Suruga, Mizuki, and Takami! I mean damn.
◯The 4th Match･Tag Team Match 20-Minute Single Match
Aja Kong & Yuki Kamifuku vs Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu: The Twins vs Beauty and the Beast! It's always difficult to pick against Kong!
◯The 5th Match･Singles Match 15-Minute Single Match
Ryo Mizunami vs Toga- Mizunami back with TJPW will be out to make a huge splash and likely to chop Toga 565 times!
◯The 6th Match･Tag Team Match 20-Minute Single Match
Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao: Yamashita has tagged successfully with Hattori before under her old persona, but Hattori is different and much better, but they have to face one of the wildest teams in tjpw history in Nakajima and Misao. This one will be crazy.
◯The 7th Match･International Princess Championship Match 30-Minute Single Match
<Champion>Suzume vs Haru Kazashiro<Challenger>
*The 17th Champion's 2nd defending match.: Kazashiro is possibly the most improved Joshi in tjpw and maybe in all companies. We will see just how MUCH she has improved as she takes on one of the best in the world, Suzume, for her title! Is Kazashiro ready?
◯Semi-Final･Princess Tag Team Championship Match 30-Minute Single Match
<Champion team>Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee vs Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi<Challenger team>
*The 20th Champion team's 2nd defending match: How long can "The Inspiration" hold onto the Princess tag titles? Nearly all tjpw fans are rooting for them to lose, and get lost, and if anyone can run them out of Japan it's all of our "Day Dream," Watanabe and Tatsumi!
◯Main Event･Princess of Princess Championship Match 30-Minute Single Match
<Champion>Yuki Arai vs Arisu Endo<Challenger>: Endo has arrived. While she's been great for a long time it feels like everyone is finally seeing it, and she gets her shot at "the" title here against new champion Arai. There is no doubt we could see a new champ here, but will we?
What are your picks?
English Commentary TJPW Inspiration, 4/18/2026. Start video on Wrestle Universe at the 8 minute mark. I stopped commentary at 22:18 mark and picked commentary back up at the 42:34 mark.
Watching older TJPW shows and wow, there sure have been a lot of young wrestlers retire. Did they just not like it, want more money, have different career goals? The roster would be much bigger without all the retirements.
