KENTA vs Hiroshi Tanahashi

I kind of hated this. Like, it was good but it was uncomfortable & I say that as someone who is happy as Larry watching deathmatches with real loving sickos. But there, they seem to know what they are doing & here...there's a reason any time you see a ladder on a puro show one of the ring attendants (or more than one) will jump in to hold the ladder, because that poo poo is scary. And there's Tana just shaking a ladder that looks like it could replace the lights in the roof of the Tokyo Dome. I dunno, I just couldn't get into it because I was filled with the wrong sense of discomfort while watching it. It was still a good plunder match & while I think New Japan aren't great at doing those (they tend to end up falling into a formula that I don't love), I dunno. It's hard to put my thoughts on this into words other than "I am conflicted".

MOTYC: Open the Triangle Gate Championship - Masquerade (Shun Skywalker, Kota Minoura, Jason Lee) vs. R.E.D. (Eita, Kaito Ishida, HYO)

I don't know if I should be even nominating this match because it was in no way an amazing blow away workrate classic, but drat I know at the end of the year I'll still probably be thinking about it more than many others I'm going to see. A complete trainwreck (deliberately) of two units simultaneously imploding, with an amazing post-match to cement the chaos.

Nth because it's probably the best storytelling I've seen within a match in a long time. I don't think I've ever seen a trios dynamic where both sides hate one of their teammates and refuse to tag him in, which basically turned it into a singles match unless they could force a tag. It's also the rare instance of outside interference and cheating with foreign objects making the finish better because of the context they've built up with the powder in the eyes, the box lid, and Dia Inferno.

The surprise match after that wasn't exactly a barn burner either, but still a great moment that dovetailed perfectly out of the previous match's angle.

I'm going to do the doofy thing and argue against a nomination in the nomination thread (please forgive me). This wasn't a great match at all, but it was a great angle. Given how hot the crowd was for the teased Wardlow face turn afterwards, I don't think you can really call this a failure in terms of getting that over.

I agree with both of these.

The thing is I actually like the entirety of the wardlow / punk match other than the finish, and I like the stuff that happened after. It just makes no sense that punk would win with a roll up after 9 powerbombs. I absolutely hated the finish.
