G1 34 block matches cross stitch complete! A Block in reds/yellows and B Block in blues/greens.
Each wrestler is represented by a colour in the outer strips (I used the same order that NJPW did on its results cards), and then where two colours/wrestlers would intersect I recorded their match result, with the winner's colour taking up 3/4 of the square.
(more info and photos under the cut)
I was inspired by my good pal @benchwarming who started this beautiful cross stitch project tracking race results over the F1 season. Wrestling mostly doesn't have the same kind of consistent data points/formats, so I'm glad the G1 allowed me to join in on her very cool idea!
I used FlossCross to mock up the overall design. Because it's just a bunch of evenly-spaced squares I didn't really need a 'pattern', so I made this spreadsheet to track the results (I printed out a physical copy and highlighted the winner as match results came in):
Here's the NJPW results card for A Block as comparison - my piece is essentially just the outlined half of their format (which ngl I find very hard to parse)(not that mine isn't also)(I think this is just a hard dataset to represent) without the duplicate results on the top right.
Back view:
Mostly tried not to travel further than a square or two, and used a combination of loop starts, pin stitch finishes for some of the single stitches, and weaving in ends.

The band ASH DA HERO released a music video of the BOSJ theme song recently. Desperado shared some commentary on it.
"[Behind the Scenes info, for some reason]
I was fortunate enough to be included in this.
Halfway through the video, there's a scene where I take off my mask. I was the one who suggested this.
The staff didn't make a risqué proposal to a masked man like "Please take off your mask" or anything.
In fact, it was just the opposite. The direction I received from them was so considerate and gentle, I ended up making some suggestions of my own instead.
They were very courteous while filming, but the video was shot in a very short period of time so it wouldn't affect our matches that day. (We were forced to film this on the same day as a show because our schedules were all so full)
This was filmed with an extremely high level of care and consideration.
I'm truly grateful, thank you."
