MOTYC: Nanae Takahashi & Arisa Nakajima vs Momo Watanabe & Saya Iida, SEAdLINNNG Shibkiba Night, 10th February

I feel like 'four people beating the poo poo out of each other' is overplayed as a description for a match but that sums this match up. It was a preview match for Nanae vs Momo at the Budokan and if that gets close to this then its very good. Seeing Arisa Nakajima face the other two was great since that's a combination that's entirely new and probably not one we'll see again; and Iida was great in the match as well. Well worth going out of your way to see: just a very good, heated interpromotional match.

From my own records, the stretch of 3rd, 4th & 5th Jan are hard to touch with 4 MOTYC in that time, but next closest is the 3 MOTYC from the 10th & 11th Jan. If you include HMs then there's 8 of those from the 3rd, 4th, 5th stretch, and 6 HM from 9th, 10th & 11th.

Meanwhile I've got 2 HMs & 1 WMOTYC from the 10th & 11th, although I still have to watch Tokyo Joshi Pro. & NOAH tomorrow will rule obviously, but doubt I'd have 3 MOTYC between those 2 shows & the AEW main event if I have time.

Not saying you're wrong, just that the 9th, 10th & 11th was a really good short period of wrestling that got underlooked.

God this ruled. Somehow Fujimoto is twice as old as Suzuki who must be the best teenage wrestler in the world.

(For the record, the only matches I have rated higher than this from this year are Ibushi White, Takagi Tanahashi & Takagi Cobb, so really heavily recommending it.)

Holy poo poo, Nth. I checked this out and was nearly out of my seat yelling during it. It's got badasses and cool rear end moves (The one that announcers yell Infinity! every time it happens RULES HARD) and everything you'd want out of a joshi wrestling match.

Tsukka rules, Suzu Suzuki is incredible at her age, just an extremely well worked match between two great talents. I didn't realise that nuts gifs of the wheelbarrow rollup was 25 minutes into the match while they were both exhausted, makes it even more impressive now. This probabably would have rocketed to the top of my MOTYC list, second only to Tana/Shingo, if not for

MOTYC: Nanae Takahashi & Arisa Nakajima vs Momo Watanabe & Saya Iida, SEAdLINNNG Shibkiba Night, 10th February

I loving loved this, this is my platonic idea of a wrestling match. No idea who the Stardom girls were, but had high hopes considering Nanae is great and I think Arisa is the best women's wrestler around. Felt heated the whole way through, they brutalised poor Iida in the lead up to the hot tag and I didn't notice anyone out of place after tag broke down at the end. Can't say enough nice things about this, this is my favourite women's match so far this year and it'll take stiff competition (or a return of full crowds) to knock this one off.

e: Forgot to say it because I was just so excited about these matches, but these are both nths

One cool thing about the SEAd vs Stardom match I forgot to mention is how partisan the crowd was. There were people flat out refusing to clap for anything the Stardom girls did and then coming alive for all the SEAdLINNNG offence (there was a contingent of Stardom fans in the corner that Nanae called out at the end). Wish all the interpromotional warfare happening right now was coming at a time where those diehards could be vocal
