A few news pieces!

Hello,

Well, so ends the first month of the new blog, which so far, I have been VERY happy with. I should be receiving my first DVD order in a long time, and with it is the newest copy of Occupation of the Indiez. If I find it is relavent to what I cover here, then I might start doing short reviews, and whether the episodes are worth picking up or not. The only problem I have found previously with the shows, is that there is a lot of talking, and thus, if you do not know much Japanese (like myself), they can be hard to follow.

Secondly, with the end of the first month here, I shall reveal my first ever Indy Wrestler of the Month. This is a feature I hope to include every month, with a bio on the wrestler chosen, and why they are the King of Indy for the said month.

Finally, I would like to send people in a few directions. I have stopped covering DDT here, because ChuChu has opened a website for the group, and updates it frequently. Not only that, but I shall be adding a handful of sites to the sidebar, which follow independant promotions in Japan, and are run by aquaintences of mine.

DDT – http://dramaticfantasia.tripod.com
BJW – http://www.bjwfans.com
Osaka Pro – http://community.livejournal.com/osakapro/
MUGA & Michinoku Puro – http://community.livejournal.com/yakitatepuro/

Thanks for reading!
