quoting my post with the Sendai Girls matches now that NJPW is on a break for a week for people to watch. Sareee is really good and she's wrestling Aja Kong next Sunday so watch them before she gets murdered!

Would you be my new best friends?

I'm not doing a two tier system for a couple of reasons:

1. It'll be a huge pain in the rear end to count
2. People will start arguing about what should be on what tier

Also can people please actually quote the matches they're "nthing" so I don't have to go back through the last page and a half to pick them out manually myself?

The four nomination system was fine, it worked perfectly for years. But none of this actually matters so who cares.

MOTYC - Kento Miyahara - Yuji Okabayashi (BJW) - AJPW Champion Carnival 4-25-19

Very much yes to this, which I think would be either a 3rd or 4th. Two of the best wrestlers in the world and a proper epic feel despite being under 20 minutes long. You can and probably should watch it here! Really good Korakuen crowd too, probably the only knock on some of the other Champion Carnival shows has been they've not had crowds as hot as the often great matches.

HM
4/25/19
AJPW Champion Carnival
Shuji Ishikawa vs. Zeus


So this is the co-main, just before Miyahara vs Okabayashi and it's only a little less great. Zeus has been a proper revelation during this. Just a ridiculously ripped dude but he can go. He does a really awesome Superplex in this one.

Really going to try to rush through the rest of Champion Carnival matches tonight, got 5 more to watch & the the final which I'm super excited for so will probably edit this with more nominations.

Not on the level of the Kzy defence earlier in the year but still a really good Pac title match in which he is in fact a bastard. Also Dragon Kid is still so amazingly smooth looking and he must be in his 40s now. The springboard Dragonrana was beautiful, and the top rope reverse Frankensteiner. Kid turns me into a MOVES guy.
