It's deffo deserved but also it's worth it purely to know at a glance my top matches of the year without having to rely upon my barely existing memory

The other good/bad thing is it lets me keep track of how many shows I've watched & uhhhh, it's a lot. 73 so far this year, & still massively fallen behind with 2 NOAH shows to watch, 2 DDT, 1 NJPW, 1 DG, 1 Stardom, 1 2AW, 1 BJW, 1 Gake No Fuchi Joshi, 2 Diana shows, & god only knows how many ChocoPro. And that's with me trying to stick to the big shows for joshi & cutting way back on my New Japan watching.

HARASHIMA and Eruption (Kazusada Higuchi and Yukio Sakaguchi) vs Sauna Club (Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno and MAO)
- Just a bunch of extremely talented wrestlers having an awesome match. It's matches like this that make me really like these six, just going out on a random show and making magic. A smidge below the Sakaguchi/Ueno match from last week, but still well worth the time to check out.

2nd this match. 95% of the reason I didn't just skip this show entirely is because of how good this match looked and it delivered

This was fantastic. I love these two idiots. All the spots where they had to argue with the referee over whether something counted as something that could be found in a kids' room owned.

Nth. Super fun match.
