Absolutely incredible match, even with the stream going down for several minutes in the middle I was still absolutely floored by how good this was.

HM
19/1
Stardom 9th Anniversary
Korakuen Hall
Kagetsu vs Tam Nakano

Tam with an absolutely beautiful Tiger Suplex. Just folding Kagetsu up like an accordion. And yeah, Kagetsu did a great job elevating Nakano in this match.

Nth. This match is legit just beneath Okada/Ibushi for me as best of the year so far.

I'll add an HM for MJF vs. Jungle Boy - AEW Dynamite 2/12 as well. Showcased both guys well and Jungle Boy is over.

HM: Eddie Kingston Vs LA Park RevPro High Stakes 14/02

Really really fun hardcore match with just the right amount of bullshit. Played to both of their strengths and a really hot crowd

forkboy84: Jun 13, 2012; Corgis love bread. And Puro

HM
31/1
Dragongate Toryumon Reunion
Korakuen Hall
Italian Connection (Brother YASSHI, Condotti Shuji, Milanito Collection AT, Yossino) vs Henry III Sugawara, Kenichiro Arai, Kochiro Arai, SAITO

A very silly but fun and funny multiman tag. Yoshino losing his weak repeatedly was especially fun. I have a soft spot for silliness in my wrestling.

HM
31/1
Dragongate Toryumon Reunion
Korakuen Hall
Genki Horiguchi vs Ryo Saito

HM
31/1
Dragongate Toryumon Reunion
Korakuen Hall
M2K (Masaaki Mochizuki, Susumu Mochizuki, Yasushi Kanda) vs Dragon Kid, Second Doi, Ultimo Dragon

Those 2 matches are real love letters to Toryumon. M2K were the heel group who'd intentionally try for double countouts. They start this by attacking the faces with their razor scooters, it's very cool.

HM
31/1
Dragongate Toryumon Reunion
Korakuen Hall
RED (Big R Shimizu, Diamante, Eita, HYO) vs Toryumon (Masaaki Mochizuki, TARU, Ultimo Dragon, YOSSINO)

Very much a more modern DG match, RED to their shenanigans, it's very good and then there's the surprise appearance of Milano Collection AT!.

MOTYC: Zack Sabre Jr Vs Will Ospreay. RevPro High Stakes 14/02

Everything their recent NJPW match was and more. They teased things from the first match, they clearly love working together and the crowd was absolutely nuclear. These two are barely in their primes yet and they're making a case for them being the two best British wrestlers of all time

It will be online. Probably by Monday but all I've seen is a tweet from them after the show that said "Available to watch at http://rpwondemand.com soon."
