Ojousama sent me a nice stack of puro mags and doujin (I like presents) and most of the stories I've come across so far aren't exactly Earth-shattering, except for this one from a few months ago. There is an article about Danshoku Dino and his desire to be Gay Homo Crown Tag Team Champion along with Mens Teioh. I was unaware of anything going on between the two of them, and the article doesn't give any details as to why Dino wants Terry Boy. I was unaware of either of them being in a position to challenge for the GHC Tag Titles, and Mens Teioh's possible willingness to rename them. I was also unware of Mens Teioh publicly swinging that way or being pursued by Dino in the past. I guess you really do learn something every day.
Um, hello... He's the "Emperor of Men"? His faction is called The Men's Club? The pouty Japanese surfer dude with frilly elbowpads and boots? What more evidence do you need?
I would very much support a Danshoku Dino/Men's Teioh run for those belts. Puroresu needs to lighten up, open up its heart, and let the rainbow in.

I know Dino is that way...but I always assumed Men's Teioh was normal. Did he have some big coming out that I somehow missed? That could explain why he can't seemed to get booked outside Big Japan, although Japan tends to be more open minded about that than America does. There was no mention about Teioh's thoughts on the whole thing in the article, so I was wondering if I had missed something going on between the two of them.
I have no problem with Men's winning the titles, but Dino? Come on, he's a comedy character in a comedy promotion. He has no business challenging for the GHC Tag Titles. He certainly isn't deserving enough to rename them. This angle would be perfect for DDT or HUSTLE, but would have no business at all in NOAH. I remember him doing a few run ins on a NOAH show awhile ago and he got obliterated each time he showed his face. I wonder what he expected to get out of stirring up the media, because it sure isn't getting him any bookings in NOAH.
Actually, I'm Catholic and Buddhist(if you incorrectly perceive Buddhism as a religion, as many people seem to insist on doing), and a Constitutionalist, which is similar to Japan and Hong Kong's Liberal Democratic parties (note: nothing like America's Democratic party). Not that has anything to do with anything I previously said.
Normal is a standard term used widely in Japan, and the rest of civilized world, as an equivalent for heterosexual. Because that's, you know, normal. If further exaplanation is needed, Missy Hyatt and Magnum TOKYO are examples of normal. Ellen and Koko B. Ware are examples of not normal.
I doubt Dino will ever get a chance to even touch the titles, and like you said, it's just a ploy to get some more NOAH/DDT intermingling. Hey, look at the rising success of New Japan and HUSTLE. People like fun mixed in with their puroresu. Even stiff Kawada, who I wouldn't take for it, seems to hungry to be Captain Hustle... He was in a match with Mick Foley, for crying out loud! I say let Dino and Teioh get their butts kicked by Marufuji and KENTA.
Oh, and throw in Stalker Ichikawa as the special referee. I don't know what he's supposed to be, but I don't think it's straight.

I see the conversation going a little more like this.
Dino: Hello Mitsu-chan...do you know who this is?
Misawa: I already paid this month's protection. Besides, I told you not to call me here.
Dino: Ooh, protection, you sure are experienced. My favorite kind of protection are the Ultraman kind, especially when worn by a real ULTRA...MAN. Will you be my Ultraman?
Misawa: Who the **** is this?
Dino: Don't be coy. I'm your personal dynamic dude. I'm your knight in shining armor. I'm the one who will be wearing your Gay Homo Crown. So how about it, your place or mine?
Misawa: I already told you Rico. We don't like your kind around here. And yes, I do mean that in more ways than one.
Dino: But I am Japanese you big silly. Can we at least have phone sex?
Misawa: %&*%$*%^**$#*%^*#* I am going to kill you Dino. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but I WILL kill you.
