HM: Masato Tanaka vs. Katsuhiko Nakajima. N-1 Victory Night 1, September 12 2021.

Athletic, violent, competitive match between one of Noah's best and a living legend.

HM
Stinger (Seiki Yoshioka and Yuya Susumu) (c) vs Momo no Seishun (Hajime Ohara and Atsushi Kotoge) - GHC Jr Tag Championships
- Noah's juniors continue to be pretty drat good now they've stopped betraying each other at the drop of a hat (at least for the last few months). Looking forward to the Eita defence next, even if it means he's teaming with NOSAWA

Katsuhiko Nakajima vs Masato Tanaka
- Considering the career Tanaka has had, it remains incredible that not only is he alive and mobile, but he's in great shape and is still able to put on great matches. Also Katsu was great in his role, which is to kick you real hard until you stop moving

Good card, Kitamiya and Fujita hit each other hard and Kenoh/Kashin had fun parts even if it ran too long. Mutoh forced Sugiura to work his type of match which I didn't enjoy, but if you like the oldest wrestler on Earth then you'll enjoy that

DDT Tenjin Wars September 12th
MOTYC
Shinya Aoki (c) vs Kazuki Hirata - DDT Extreme Title
- I was laughing the entire way through this. The gimmick is that Aoki has to wrestle down to Hirata's level. Two judges are at ringside to judge and stop Aoki if he were to do anything Un-Hirata-like. This includes things like going for leg submissions because Hirata doesn't know any, using kicks to knock down your opponent (Hirata's kicks are too weak to do that), or even going for the win after an effective move (because Hirata would instead grandstand and start dancing). Also, to get into the mood, Aoki comes out using Hirata's gear and music. This was incredible, if you like either of these guys' comedy absolutely check this out, and also check Haku's twitter for live translations as to why each infraction was deemed Un-Hirata-like

HM
Antonio Honda, Toru Owashi and Sanshiro Takagi vs YOSHIHIKO, Mecha Mummy and Pokotan
- This has to be seen to be believed, absolutely ridiculous fun

Saki Akai vs Yuna Manase
- This was great, Yuna in serious mode results in a real hard fought battle. Saki was also great as the dominant competitor, it's rare to see her in this position in DDT so it was fun to see.

First time watching anything by MLW. Felt this was an excellent rumble-style match, lots of people got plenty of time, introducing me to a ton of talent I’d never seen before, ton of fun spots, overall made me want to watch more MLW which makes it a real good match.

Critiques are obvious. Match is too long. Even by clap crowd standards they really aren't good for half this match. But Cobb got to cool strong man poo poo. Right on the border of HM tbh, but the brainbuster on the floor after catching the crossbody is enough, definitely a bit below their July meeting. Meltzer gave this 4.75* & I'm chuckling.

I thought it was a bit odd how they completely packed the ring in the first half instead of steady eliminations, but yeah, it was fun. I think I rated it already back when it happened, but Nth in case I didn't.

Looks like no one did!

If anyone feels like chilling about an hour or so watching a good rumble, it's up on their YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO2wznPGsM8 Starts at the 22-minute mark.

edit: I believe it's still their most current content that's out there. Might tune in when they return!

Latigo was trained at the IWRG gym by Black Terry but you'll most likely have seen him in AAA; he was in the MOTYC 5 way with Hijo del Vikingo, Abismo Negro Jr, Aramis & Villano III Jr which you should really watch. He's the champ in the mask.
Jimmy is from DTU and can be found all over Mexico's indies but his highest profile spot was several tours in Dragon Gate.

-I really like how they're presenting the YAMATO/Minoura feud. These four couldn't have a bad match if they tried.

MOTYC: Open the Brave Gate Championship (vacant): Keisuke Okuda vs SB KENTo

-The feud between these two was absolutely boiling over the last 6 weeks. Lots of brawling and submission attempt reversals, with both getting visual pins over each other before the finish. I wish this had a bigger crowd, and one that could cheer, but this ruled anyway.

Both these matches kicked rear end. Kento is the exact right opponent for Okuda, in that he's willing to get hit real hard. Minoura rocked YAMATO with an elbow strike that made me shout out loud. Cool-rear end poo poo.
