TJPW Winter in Shinjuku January 20th
HM
121000000 (Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh) vs VenYu (Asuka and Kamiyu)
- This was heckin rad, they gave us a taste of the rad kickladies beating the hell out of each other and left us wanting more. Itoh and Kamiyu more than held up their end of the match as well.

DayDream (Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi) vs Kyoraku Kyomei (Hyper Misao and Shoko Nakajima)
- Miu is strong, match is good

A very fun card that should have had the big show treatment with commentary

2nd these 2.

MOTYC: 1/23 GCW WRLD - Team Bandido (Bandido, ASF, & Laredo Kid) vs. Team Gringo (Gringo Loco, Arez, & Demonic Flamita)

Luchamazing, as they say. Total clusterfuck but also awesome.

Nth, this absolutely owned bones

HM
22nd January
Dragongate Open The New Year Gate Night 9
Kota Minoura & Takashi Yoshida vs RED (KAI & Shun Skywalker)

I'm still blown away that Takashi Yoshida is an enjoyable wrestler in TYOOL 2022 but here we are. Also Shun as complete bastard but in the most delusion & cowardly way? Surprisingly good, obviously Shun was already a great in-ring talent but this is a new element to him that is great fun.

Also this show was my 40th 2022 wrestling show so I'm really miserably failing my resolution to watch less wrestling.

And he doesn't seem to have as much wear and tear as Okada does at a similar age. His style being doing the basic things really well and not having to regularly wrestle crazy people like Kenny, Naito, Ospreay and Ibushi probably helps.
