HM: Minoru Suzuki, Taichi and Taka Michinoku vs Takashi Sugiura, Kazushi Sakuraba and X, Wrestle Kingdom 16 Noah vs New Japan, January 8.

Solid, vicious, funny match. The identity of X was a really well done surprise, and everyone did their parts beautifully.

This was a chaotic mess and I loved every single second of it. 2.0 have just blown me away since they showed up in AEW.

HM for me too. Not as entertaining as the TayJay vs Bunnylope match, but a fun brawl nonetheless. Nice to see some character development with Eddie, who didn’t lose his poo poo at Jericho getting involved post-match like he did on previous occasions.

The energy and excitement this 10-Man Tag match generated overwhelmed the kinda lovely nature of the abema.tv English PPV stream, the crowd was alive for it and both teams were throwing everything they had into it, and it was so much fun to watch and felt like a genuine big deal.

MOTYC
LIJ (Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi, SANADA, BUSHI and Hiromu Takahashi) vs Kongoh (Katsuhiko Nakajima, Kenoh, Manabu Soya, Tadasuke and Aleja)
- Great match, wrong winner. Happy Katsu and Kenoh have even more people to kick as hard as possible

HM
Kosei Fujita vs Yasutaka Yano
- An extrememly good showcase for the two youngest rookies on their respective rosters

Bullet Club (Taiji Ishimori and Gedo) vs Stinger (Seiki Yoshioka and HAYATA)
- Gedo stayed inoffensive and Yoshioka got to do his cool moves to a new audience

Suzuki-gun (Zack Sabre Jr and Yoshinobu Kanemaru) vs Yoshinari Ogawa and Naomichi Marufuji
- Four NOAH guys have a great match, it was nice for Ogawa to see how much his sons have progressed since they left the nest

Solid show with some baffling booking decisions, but if it leads to more singles matches down the track then i'm keen

Takashi Sugiura, Kazushi Sakuraba, & KENTA vs Masa Kitamiya, Daiki Inaba, & Yoshiki Inamura
This is a joy, a wonderful homecoming for KENTA, who massively puts the opposing team over.

Kenoh (c) vs Kaito Kiyomiya for the GHC National Championship
Despite his string of losses this match reminds us how Kiyomiya is one of the best wrestlers in the world at 25. Fantastic babyface performance with a desperate finishing stretch.

Just to make things a little easier for me, if you're not at least posting immediately after the initial nomination or quoting somebody else's second can you please include what the actual match is? It's not a big deal having to track back through prior posts to figure out what is being talked about, but it makes it a hell of a lost easier if the info is there in your post in the first place - same deal if you decide to upgrade your own nomination, throw an edit into your original post too so I don't end up getting confused (I get confused a lot!). :)

Oh yeah I usually add a warning for people who are general okay with deathmatch stuff but don't like mouth stuff that Sakuda has a spot where he stabs skewers right through bjs opponent's cheeks so don't watch the tag title match if that sounds unappealing.

Only reason I'm not seconding this is because by this point I just gently caress off to do something else while their matches are on and come back when it looks like they're almost over. They're such a waste of time AND Iino.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Team Toryumon (Ultimo Dragon and Dragon Kid) vs Momo no Seishun (Atsushi Kotoge and Hajime Ohara)
- That spry young 45 year old Dragon Kid thankfully did most of the work for his team, would like to see him interacting more with the junior division in the future.

Kongoh (Katsuhiko Nakajima, Nioh and Aleja) vs Kongoh (Manabu Soya, Haoh and Tadasuke
- Kongoh mirrors are rare so this was a real treat. Love this stable.

Kenoh (c) vs Daisuke Harada - GHC National Championship
- Both these guys are great and there was some great action, but even if I hadn't seen Kenoh with the belt at WK I would not for a second think there was a chance of Harada winning here

Daiki Inaba, Go Shiozaki, Kaito Kiyomiya, Masa Kitamiya and Yoshiki Inamura vs M's Alliance (Keiji Muto, Masato Tanaka and Naomichi Marufuji) and Sugiura-gun (Takashi Sugiura and Kazuyuki Fujita)
- Worth it alone for the Go/Fujita staredown, but everyone was real fun here. Even Mutoh.
