HM: AZM vs Natsupoi
HM: Nanae Takahashi vs. Momo Watanabe

Two great short matches and very different, one a fast paced opener, while Momo and Nanae just threw bombs at each other in a firey wild match.

MOTYC: Mayu Iwatani vs. Yoshiko

Not quite as good as the best Mayu matches last year but she always manages to look like she's been killed and up the drama. Great stuff

HM: Utami Hayashishita vs. Saya Kamitani

MOTYC: Giulia vs. Tam Nakano

What a perfect main event. Tam has been trying so hard to win the big one and has especially been unsuccessful vs Giulia, and here with everything on the line the ultimate underdog she finally does it. Giulia is great as a bully and Tam is great as the pure hearted babyface, especially afterwards. Also one of the best Steiner Screwdrivers I have seen in years!

I already nominated it but yeah this is my current match of 2021 right now. Ishida is great as has been stated, and Shun, at least in ring wise, is one of the top 10 maybe even top 5, wrestlers in the world right now. His selling and pacing is out of this world.

Glad to see this match getting a little more love because it's bonkers & it's all Kasai. This is probably the best match of Yoshitatsu's career that didn't also feature Kento Miyahara either as opponent or tag partner and I don't think Crazy Monkey got enough credit for that.

Yeah, Kasai was amazing in that match - just looked like a total star and had as good of an effort as I've seen of his. It also avoids the deathmatch poo poo I hate - I can't stomach stuff much more hardcore than the last Mox-Omega match, and outside of sticking wooden skewers in Tatsu's forehead for a bit it was free of that stuff.

Here it is. Please check it out if you have time. I think it's about as good as the ladder match from the last AEW PPV.

Looks like we've got six MOTYC nods for Shunma Katsumata Vs Chris Brookes, who wants to be the hero that get them over the line? It's got crazy barbed wire bumps, Druids carrying a coffin with Lego stuck to the outside, and multiple people in Joker facepaint. And also a smooth as hell finishing spot that could have gone wrong in various ways ranging from seriously injuring one of the participants to destroying the coffin which was the matches win condition. If you haven't watched it, do that ASAP. It was an absolute delight.
