Bushiroad selling New Japan is the end of a 14-year stewardship and the start of a very different NJPW problem: how a live wrestling company turns history, footage, stars and international attention into a modern media business.
Let's explore this huge pro wrestling story 🧵
Leaving for work this morning, I looked over and saw what was left behind in the cul-de-sac - a hockey net, scattered sticks, and the remnants of what had to be a 15-20 kid street hockey game last night.
And it hit me… I live at Topsail. A beach community in North Carolina. Yet these kids are choosing to play hockey in the street instead of the “traditional” Southern sports you’d expect around here.
That’s what the Carolina Hurricanes @Canes have done for this state. They didn’t just build a fanbase, they grew the game. It’s honestly amazing seeing hockey take root in places as random as a beach town cul-de-sac. 🏒🌴 Happy Gameday!!!

Following the conclusion of today’s skate, Nic Deslauriers worked with Alexander Nikishin for at least 15 minutes on fighting tips and tricks.
His on-ice workload may be limited thus far, but D-Lo has been as advertised in terms of being a great teammate and locker room veteran.
