MOTYC 5th March Dragongate Champion Gate Night 1 Open The Brave Gate Title Dragon Dia vs Takuma Fujiwara MOTYC 5th March Dragongate Champion Gate Night 1 Open The Brave Gate Title Natural Vibes (Jacky Funky Kamei, Kzy & U-T) vs Gold Class (Kaito Ishida, Kota Minoura & Naruki Doi) Great stuff from DG. Fujiwara is a prodigy man, he's what, 6 months into his career & doing this? I'm not saying Rookie of the Year is locked down but honestly hard to imagine anyone better if he stays healthy

HM: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Tetsuya Naito - NJPW New Japan Cup 3/15 Not quite on the level I had hoped for but then it's a non-clap crowd on a weekday show, and this was still really, really good and I still live in terror for what is left of Tana's knees.

HM: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Tetsuya Naito - New Japan Cup (3/15) Not the best match they've had together but the baseline for these two is a great pro wrestling match. Finish loving ruled.

HM 7th March All Japan Dream Power Series Night 1 NEXTREAM (Kento Miyahara & Yuma Aoyagi) vs Twin Towers (Kohei Sato & Shuji Ishikawa) Nice main event of a smaller house show, as well as a preview of the upcoming Triple Crown clash between Kento & Shuji. The strike exchanges between those lads, bwoof! Definitely recommended. Forgot to add that Yuma is pretty funny forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Mar 15, 2022 |

I've finally managed to start Revolution, & I was going to wait & dump a post with any nominations but after that PPV opener I gotta write something while it's fresh in my mind. MOTYC 6th March AEW Revolution Chris Jericho vs Eddie Kingston I think this is one of my favourite all-time AEW matches. The build was great which meant the story going in was great, the crowd were super into it, & both guys battered the absolute bejesus out of each other right from the bell. To some extent Eddie is a throwback to 20 years ago when every 2nd guy on the US indies was doing a '90s All Japan tribute act, but Eddie is still here, he gets the psychology in a way most dudes on a 2004 IWA Mid South undercard clearly didn't & it really feels more than a tribute act because of the charisma & emotion that carries through everything Eddie does. Meanwhile Chris Jericho is out here at 51 getting dropped on his head, doing a suplex from the apron to the floor, getting dropped on his head even more, he worked his butt off here & Kingston winning came off feeling like a star. It just loving rules, & maybe it's recency bias but I'm going ****¾ on it. I was on the edge of my seat throughout. It loving ruled. Best Jericho match I've seen since he first showed up in New Japan to face Kenny, maybe on the same level as the No DQ match with Naito. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Mar 15, 2022 |

HM 6th March AEW Revolution AEW Tag Team Titles Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus) vs reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly) vs Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) HM 6th March AEW Revolution Ladder Match Christian Cage vs Keith Lee vs Orange Cassidy vs Powerhouse Hobbs vs Ricky Starks vs Wardlow MOTYC 6th March AEW Revolution Dog Collar Match CM Punk vs MJF MOTYC 6th March AEW Revolution Bryan Danielson vs Jon Moxley HM 6th March AEW Revolution AEW World Title Adam Page vs Adam Cole Hell of a show all things considered. The Tornado Tag was one multiman spotfest too much for my tastes, best women's match of the night was on the pre-show which is a shame, but that's about it for things to find fault in. Maybe the main show was a little too long but I watched it in 3 chunks which avoided that problem.

NJPW really has to realise less is more at some point because I think if they'd just announced the third round match ups and replaced Chase with Ishii or Suzuki or literally anyone else, then it'd have gotten a lot of interest l The GOD getting kicked out of Bullet Club angle was good though

Because I'm a dork & keep a spreadsheet of all this poo poo, & also because I'm bored but don't have the time to do anything really before having to go & do real-world things, I decided to waste your time by making you scroll over a post of statistics. In 2022 I have rated 59 matches at MOTYC & 111 at HM, with MOTYC being anything above **** & HM being either ***¾ or ****, out of a total 654 matches watched across 122 shows. The most recent show I watched was All Japan from the 7th March, because I have a horrible backlog. The company I have seen the most shows from has been AEW with 22, followed by NOAH & Dragongate at 13, Stardom at 11 & DDT at 10. I have seen shows from 23 different promotions. I have 1 ***** match from NOAH, 3 ****¾ (2 from AEW & 1 from NOAH), 14 ****½ (Freedoms, NJPW & ZERO1 all have 2 at that rating, 8 other promotions are tired on 1) & 41 at ****¼ (NOAH have 5, AEW & DG tie at 4, 21 promotions in total have at least 1). AEW dominate both **** & ***¾ with 8 & 11 respectively. NOAH's The New Year 2022 from 1/1 had 4 MOTYC matches, which beats any other show, though 3 other shows have 3 MOTYC calibre matches (Gake No Fuchi 4/1, GLEAT 22/2 & AEW Revolution). Every match I have over ****½ has enough votes from the forum, but have a list of ****½ matches that don't have enough nominations, though of them are at least on the ALMOST list. (You could change that! By watching these & nominating them, nice chance to see something unfamiliar. Hopefully these timestamps in the links work but I'm not overly familiar with VK yet) 1/1 ZERO1 Fuminori Abe vs Shoki Kitamura 1/1 ZERO1 Takashi Sugiura vs Masato Tanaka 3/1 AJPW Runaway SUPLEX vs NEXTREAM 3/1 Freedoms Jun Kasai vs Rina Yamashita 4/1 Gake No Fuchi Joshi Pro Akane Fujita, Mochi Miyagi, Risa Sera, Sanshiro Takagi & Suzu Suzuki vs Chris Brookes, Miyako Matsumoto, Senosister Mao Inoue & Shunma Katsumata 27/1 NOAH Go Shiozaki vs Takashi Sugiura 29/1 Stardom Giulia vs Mayu Iwatani 29/1 Rev Pro Francesco Akira vs Gabriel Kidd I can't find this. NJPW World didn't even upload it. Sucks, well worth seeing. 3/2 Freedoms Minoru Fujita vs Rina Yamashita Link is for the whole show, skip to 1:04:20 22/2 GLEAT El Lindaman vs T-Hawk 23/2 Stardom Starlight Kid vs AZM Special mention to my lowest rated match of the year, a whole half a star for Antonio Zambrano vs Wardlow. I was so drat bored of the Wardlow match format at that point. And honourable mention to MJF vs Shawn Dean from the same show which I gave * to, meaning it is the single biggest gap between what I thought of it & the rest of the forum thought, as it has enough MOTYC votes. So that's funny.

WMOTYC 7th March NJPW New Japan Cup Night 3 Chase Owens vs Jado That match that sounded terrible on paper? Shock horror, it was! If Taguchi wasn't a sheer joy then there'd be 2 WMOTYC from this show because EVIL matches are loving dire & have been for 2 years now. And that House of Torture "magic" continued to another Match on the card, SHO dragging Hiromu to a below average match, which is a hell of a feat in itself. House of Torture belongs in CYN. Oh well, at least the show wasn't a total waste of space. MOTYC 7th March NJPW New Japan Cup Night 3 Shingo Takagi vs Tomohiro Ishii This is their 5th Singles Match together. Every single one has ruled. 2021 G1 match was my #2 Match of the Year, 2019 was probably top 5 (I didn't keep records then and my memory is terrible). So of course they went had a banger. Of course. Far too many great moments to single out.
