The chemistry these two have is out of this world, and the reversals, transitions, callbacks and the fact you could easily buy every single nearfall was utterly sensational. Match felt about 1/4th as long as it actually was I was so engaged in it.

MOTYC: Okada vs Sanada. Loved how they fooled me the last few minutes. Not on nearfalls but they'd set up sequences and counters that seemed so obvious, then add a little twist, then do something totally unexpected. Really good stuff. Okada did do the best version of the lazy horrible Jeff Jarrett raise one arm kickout I've seen in years though. He actually made it seem like he was too hosed up to do anything more, and unlike Jeff he actually got his shoulder up.

Nah, imo AJPW's main event scene is a lot better than NJPW's these days. Definitely watch more AJPW, they rule. Champion Carnival is coming up next month, so that'll be a great place to start.

I am so glad I'm not the only one who saw that and immediately thought,"Wait, is that what Jeff Jarrett thought he was doing all these years?" :lol:

Not sure how many people will actually watch this, but if I can get just one person to watch and realise how good the younger, cooler Asuka is then I'll consider it a mission accomplished.

MOTYC: Nanae Takahashi (c) vs. Asuka for the SEAdLINNNG Beyond the Sea Championship - SEAdLINNNG Luckiest 2019 (3/20)

https://rutube.ru/video/395b0759ef61237193d3ceeb9c42f4bb

Asuka just goes for it right from the outset. Hate Nanae so much so watching Asuka fling chair after chair at her was very cathartic. Asuka hitting the Io Shirai moonsault off the Korakuen staircase and then jumping up to do her little dance was so cool too.

Might be my MOTY if not for joshi HHH putting herself over once again.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
I hastily watched that match over my lunchbreak and while I need to watch it again to actually get a good rating for it I’m confident enough to second it: ASUKA is a very good professional wrestler.

I’ll also nth the Kengo/Nomura All Japan match as well.
