AJPW’s January 3 New Year Giant Series 2023 show featured the Voodoo Murders breaking up, Suzuki’s new faction and an incredible Triple Crown match.

There wasn’t much to AJPW’s January 2 New Year Giant Series 2023 show other than setting up stuff for the future.

A strong close to both tournaments for All Japan Pro Wrestling but news of company departures cast a shadow over the events.

The December 4 AJPW Real World Tag League/Jr. Battle of Glory was another good show with only the Voodoo Murders dragging things down.

With Shotaro Ashino’s injury the field for AJPW’s Real World Tag League is now wide open.

Shows like AJPW’s Real World Tag League & Jr. Battle of Glory 2022 Day 5 demonstrate the potential of All Japan’s young talent.

We’ve reached the halfway point of both tournaments and while they have been good, the Voodoo Murders interference remains frustrating.

The Jr. Battle of Glory and the Real World Tag League have been mostly delivering so far — here’s a review of Day 2!

There was nothing super high level on Day 1 of AJPW’s Real World Tag League/Jr. Battle of Glory 2022 but almost every match was solid to very good.

This was a good show… until the main event. The Jr. Title match was great, but the Voodoo Murders stuff needs to end.

Multiple anniversaries were celebrated on this show, including Takao Omori’s 30th as he challenged Kento Miyahara for the Triple Crown Title.

AJPW returns to Budokan Hall for its 50th Anniversary, a solid show with plenty of guests, a new Triple Crown Champion, and STATUS.

This show, along with the Budokan show, has helped get AJPW back on track, though questions still surround the company’s expected future stars.

This show encapsulated what I love and hate about All Japan. The booking was conservative, but the younger talent got a chance to shine.
