read up on sex tourism. you're just focused on kinksI am and you know it. I mean there was a show in the late 90's or early 00s about all the weird global stuff or whatever, and there was a segment about there being vending machines in Japan for used women's panties.I thought surely they can't top that on the weirdness scale and over the years I've learned that one does not simply underestimate the perviness of the Japanese. Us Europeans used to think Germans are the kings of perv but nope! So yes, one should never underestimate how far the Japanese can go on that front.

Because we're not prude about matters of sexuality and weirdest areas of it get the biggest laughs.

So, I think there are things about Stardom and Marigold that are very nuanced that as westerners we don’t truly know the whole picture, and it doesn’t make those clarifications objectively correct, but they are important to be aware of.
First, Asuka has always been convinced Stardom was created to destroy her, specifically, or freelancers on that level, from what I’ve gathered. She supposedly used to have heat with Io Shirai before Io arrived, not sure about Kairi. There’s like 30 other joshi promotions so I don’t know why Stardom specifically is/was evil.
If it’s about Rossy, I don’t know other than what people say. To the degree that I am, I guess I’m more familiar with Stardom than anyone here even if I don’t watch consistently, I wait for everything to go on YouTube. But if people know things, I don’t get how it’s helping anyone staying quiet about it. Clearly there’s talent that are credible people who insist on helping him because they feel indebted to him. “When it comes out” the time for it to come out is now.
I encourage to listen to Karen Petersen’s take from this weeks Pollock x Thurston when it comes to that announcement about unmarried women trying out for Marigold. Japanese culture seems to be backward in the sense that there are women, such as those who go into pro wrestling, and even some of the men, that in doing so are choosing to make this their life. It’s like eat, sleep, wrestle, and maybe a part-time job. Part of it is not terribly unlike everywhere else, how many people in the business have or had a partner or spouse also in the business? It’s kept separate more in Japan, so these girls are being asked if they willing to devote their lives to this and eschew things like, having a family and being at home like many others do. It’s much more worth hearing Karen’s take on it. It’s at about 40 minutes here

Yeah - it's not like any of these 3 releases are going to swing the balance of power over to AEW.

UFC looking to expand fan experience at its Las Vegas APEX facility | MMA UFC | Sports
Looking to add a larger fan element at its Apex facility, UFC has plans to add the ability to host up to 1,000 people for events.

I haven't watched a ton of UFC in recent years, but it's hard for me to picture what it might look like with a ring instead of an Octagon. I'd imagine they'd want a decent amount of fans to face the hard cam. I guess I'd expect something close to the the Performance Center. Might be a fun experience but I'd have to assume the limited tickets would be expensive, although not sure if NXT would necessarily be a big draw.

I guess it's easy to add the kind of stands they have at the PC.

It's also not going to change a whole lot when it comes to talent releases on the company side.
WWE gets around it by saying its not a 90 day non-compete. It's a 90 day notice until their contract is terminated, during that time talent is still being paid.
Though if the talent wants to leave sooner then that they legally would be allowed to (I believe they were before this though and most usually take the time and pay).
The place where this would actually apply is when a wrestler successfully gets out of a contract early. Both companies have made talent sign those when letting someone leave early, but they wouldn't be able to do that anymore.
So like for example if Ricochet or Black requested and were granted their release they would be able to immediately sign with a new promotion. They wouldn't have to wait.
All of this is moot though as the Supreme Court is going to shoot it down.

TNA went from 22,400 buys to 500 buys of their last PPV. Not a typo.
