HM: CM Punk vs. Daniel Garcia - AEW Rampage 10/8

What a wonderful match, great story, great wrestling, Garcia looked great, Punk did some incredibly cool poo poo, commentary was on fire. This ruled.

Nth. And pretty close to a MOTYC for me. For my money this is Punk's best match since coming back.

MOTYC: NEO Biishiki-gun (Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel) (C) vs. Magical Sugar Rabbits (Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki) for the Princess Tag titles - TJPW Wrestle Princess 2 10/9

Pure chaos between two teams of evildoers taking great delight in pulling every bit of bullshit they could in an attempt to defeat the other, just a great time. There's a bit with a broomstick that has to be seen to be believed, or at least heard for the commentator's reaction. I knew this was something special from the moment Sakisama arrived on a throne (and MSM fumbled her tray of roses :allears:

Holy poo poo. These two were killing each other and giving no quarter, absolutely incredible stuff. Maki is a great character and Miyu has some of the most terrifyingly brutal and violent looking offense in the world. What a match.

TJPW Wrestle Princess 2 October 9th
MOTYC
VenYu (Asuka and Kamiyu) vs Nao Kakuta and Marika Kobashi
- New gear, new team, new music. Some absolutely Queen poo poo from VenYu. Then the match started, and it was also loving great. Want more Asuka in TJPW going forward

Twin-Cam Monster (Riho and Shoko Nakajima) vs Arisu Endo and Suzume
- An international star (and Riho) take on two of the rookies and made them look amazing

Moka Miyamoto and Aja Kong vs Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai
- Unfortunately we didn't see Kong get swung, but I don't care because the rest of the match was so great. Yuki Arai is a loving WRESTLER

NEO Biishiki-gun (Sakisama and Mei Saint-Michel) (c) vs Magical Sugar Rabbits (Yuka Sakazaki and Mizuki) - Princess Tag Championships
- Perfection. NEO Bi-gun rule and MagiRabi rule. Mei is the best character wrestler in the world and I will hear no disagreements

Miyu Yamashita (c) vs Maki Itoh - Princess of Princess Championship
- MURDER. The match between these two on January 4th was loving amazing and gave me high hopes for this. gently caress yeah they matched those hopes

HM
Raku, Pom Harajuku and Ram Kaichow vs Haruna Neko, Kaya Toribami and Mahiro Kiryu
- A fun way to kick off the card. Ram was cool, Bird didn't kill herself, Pom did the Tony Hawk, and Raku hit a real cool slingblade variation. Also Mahiro is back, which is nice.

Hyper Misao vs Rika Tatsumi vs Nodoka Tenma
- Welcome back Rika, you get to have a match with two of the most gifted comedy Joshi. This was goddamn hilarious and there was some genuinely good wrestling as well

Hikari Noa (c) vs Yuki Aino - International Princess Championship
- Short and vicious, but left me wanting more

WHAT A loving SHOW, so goddamn entertaining
