Hey, I was there too!

HM: Jessica Love vs Nikita & Kert Kukk
HM: Salomon Strid (c) vs Stark Adder (Nordic Wrestling Championship match)
HM: Viktor Tykki vs Reimi (SISU8 final)
HM: King Kong Karhula vs Valentine

Had to give the nod to the handicap match, almost perfectly executed. Was legit more afraid of Jessica murdering Nikita than, well, any spot in the main event ladder clusterfuck.

Hey awesome! Yeah like I said, I thought every match was at least good, including that handicap match which was very close to a HM for me too. Jessica's new gimmick made her feel fresher than she has in years. I'd say the tag match was the weakest, it was fine but it had a bit too little time and the story hasn't been quite there in my opinion. Which is a shame because in particular Jami Aalto and Shemeikka are top 5 wrestlers in Finland.

Shoot me a message when you go to the next event and want to goonmeet up, I'll very likely be there since I do try to go all of them (the next one in Tampere I won't be able to do and Jatkosota I'm not entirely sure about yet, unfortunately)

Cubsfan's stream had the audio desynced so it was a bit of weird watch but this is everything you'd expect. Lots of cool knees, reversals and some wild bumps from Dragon Lee.

MOTYC: Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi, Destruction in Beppu (9/15)

I adored this match. Great technical work and great story telling from two of the best ever. Commentary also does a great job of getting this over.

MOTYC: Robbie Eagles & Will Ospreay vs. El Phantasmo & Taiji Ishimori, Destruction in Kagoshima (9/16)

MOTYC: Takumi Iroha vs. Nanae Takahashi, SEAdLINNING Stay Tune (5/29) - https://dai.ly/k46KMgzZn8gyWfu5F0Z

Great hard hitting joshi match. I don't think I'd watch Iroha yet, but she's great. Nanae is of course, also awesome. The last minute or so took this from HM to MOTYC for me.

HM: Kota Ibushi vs. KENTA, Destruction in Kagoshima (9/16)

The heat arguably goes on for too long here, including the pre-match stuff, but both KENTA & Ibushi are very talented workers. Of course, Ibushi somehow manages to land on his head and not break his neck again.

HM: Puma King vs. Black Destiny, Tr3s Caidas (7/27) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7eWCSrBXKI

HM: Dragon Lee vs. Bandido, Tr3s Caidas (7/27) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD2J99x_E2A

This was a very good match and a touch disappointing given the level of workers involved. It was the night after the five star trios match in PWG, so maybe Bandido was a bit beat up.

i'm kind of realizing this and recalibrating what I think a Great match is these days, it's like Marvel/Disney at this point - they're not going to putting out an abjectly "Bad" movie, everything's gonna be in that ***/***1/2 spot, unless it really makes me FEEL something (Rocky-El P leaps to mind since I just watched it), I don't think it's gonna get that Big Nod.
