I thought this was a sugar daddy relationship for sure.” It wasn’t until Ichiro noticed Yasuda and bowed to him – a sure sign that the man was a compatriot of his – that Yasuda decided to stop and talk. “Ichiro was very frustrated because he had been working with his Japanese team’s trainer for years, but hadn’t seen any results,” Yasuda recalls. “So we talked and I said that I could help him, and I did.” Considering Ichiro’s baseball success, to say Yasuda “helped” him might be a bit of an understatement. But that shouldn’t surprise anyone who knows Yasuda. Born in the ancient Japanese city of Kyoto to a family that boasts 46 generations of samurai warriors, Yasuda has made a big impact everywhere he’s gone. As a young man he dreamed of becoming a pro baseball player, and after an impressive high school career he was drafted, but opted instead to continue his baseball career at USC.

    Cubed Circle Newsletter 227 – We're Late, Just Like Gawker Media (RIP) We are back with a very late newsletter this week due almost entirely to lab report related delays. However, there is still a lot to discuss in this week's issue, including all of the news with Sting's retirement, upcoming cards, the “conclusion” to the Gawker trial, which is really only the beginning – and much more in the Pro-Wres Digest with Ben Carass. Plus, the Mixed Bag returns with a look at what may very well have been the best match of the year up until this point, discussion of WWE aesthetics, ROH, and must see BASARA. Ben also looks at last week's edition of RAW, Roadblock, and Mid-South from '82 with the infamous airing of the first Kamala vignette on Mid-South TV through 2016 eyes! – Ryan Clingman, Cubed Circle Newsletter Editor The Pro-Wres Digest for March 13th – March 19th.

[EDITOR'S NOTE: This report was left unedited and was intended to have been posted on March 20th, as such, some of the information may be out of date, and further information may be available for some stories.] TMZ broke the story on 17/3 that Steve “Sting” Borden's wrestling career is officially over, with the typically classy headline, “Sting Retiring from Wrestling...Neck's Too Jacked Up,” - quality journalism. Sting had not wrestled since facing Seth Rollins for the WWE title at Night of Champions on September 20th 2015 in a match where he suffered a neck injury while taking a Powerbomb into the turnbuckle.

  • Year Ago, Inspired by the Dr. Keith Presents Annuals of 2011 and 2012, We Published
    year ago, inspired by the Dr. Keith Presents Annuals of 2011 and 2012, we published the Ainaugural Cubed Circle Yearbook, attempting to encapsulate what was a pivotal year for professional wrestling in 2014. This year we hope to do the same, albeit for a year of a decidedly different sort. 2015 was dissimilar to 2014 in many respects. It didn't see moments as grandiose as the end of the Undertaker's Streak, Daniel Bryan's WrestleMania victory, or the Guerrero-Atlantis mask match. When evaluated from afar 2015 may even appear stagnant in comparison, as did many of the world's largest and most influential promotions during the year – WWE, NJPW, and CMLL in particular. But, upon closer inspection, the seemingly motionless landscape of 2015 wasn't only very much alive, but both morose and vibrant, disheartening and emboldening. The open wrestling fan of 2015 had more choice and freedom than perhaps ever before, with some ardent observers of the industry even abandoning Monday Night RAW for lack of faith in the lumbering weekly juggernaut. Some turned to Lucha Underground, a show that garnered considerable cult popularity. Others looked to alternative facets of the company such as NXT, which grew beyond what many considered its zenith at the end of 2014, harbouring one of the better years for American women's wrestling in decades. AAA showed promise and ambition on several fronts, but was subject to unfortunate, and at times tragic, circumstances. NJPW was as repetitive creatively as it had been under the Kidani administration, but produced one of the best nights of wrestling of the last several years in WrestleKingdom 9 – made more readily available to an American audience than ever before.
