STOP DOING HEROIN
WMOTYC: Tony Deppen vs. Jordan Oliver, GCW The Ironman Challenge 1/30

Knowing GCW and Deppen, you could maybe read this as a parody of self-indulgent indie epics. But that's being very generous -- whether intentional or not, it just loving sucked.

The first problem is that it's an Iron Man match that ended on a draw, the most tired trope in wrestling. Just loving do a decisive winner for once! The match wasn't very exciting to begin with, but then it got turned into another hour and the whole thing just fell apart. They had maybe 20 minutes of good ideas stretched out into the longest 2 hours of my life.

I'm a big fan of Deppen but he couldn't save this. Whatever they were going for, almost none of it worked.

DDT Isn't It Dramatic 2021
Akito and Shota vs Danshoku Dieno and Sanshiro Takagi

It's a nonsense match on a show in front of 100 people with 1 camera but this match is fantastic DDT nonsense. Let me just quote Dramatic DDT

"Strap yourselves in folks, Match #4 was weird. Shota hadn’t recovered from the Street Fight he wrestled in yesterday and was worried he wouldn’t last in the ring today. Akito assured him their match against Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno would only be a test of mental strength and patience. He came up with a match where everyone wore “Super Mouth Cannons” over their faces that made loud honk noises if they breathe too hard. Both teams started with 10 points and would lose a point if the mouth cannon made a noise. This was meant to teach the wrestlers not to over exert themselves."

So imagine a match where every time they make a sound it's like a duck call. It's loving dumb and good.

Nth, it wasn't completely dogshit like most WMOTYC, but it was 2 hours long, which makes it more offensive somehow.

Seems they are pushing Kenoh down a shoot style road at present, first he faced Sakuraba last month, here he is against Murakami. It's a fairly quick match, intense striking, submission attempts I'm really digging it.

Finally got around to watching this, and Nth. Absolutely love this style and Murakami looked like the baddest man on earth during his entrance. Hyped about Kenoh's next opponent on his continuing odessy of fighting double-hard old bastards

Show had a few AJPW guys on it like Lee and Yuma Aoyagi which was cool. But this was all about setting up the 2AW Openweight Title match between Yoshida and Irie and did a grand job at that. 3 great wrestlers, plus Takizawa who is solid, it is worth a watch.
