I would find it real funny if this is the Kento match that somehow gains traction and he ends up with a WMOTYC without anything on the positive side

MOTYC: Taichi vs Tama Tonga - NJPW G1 Climax (8/9)

This match is basically my perfect match and the conclusion to a story that started with Takashi Iizuka's retirement, continued through a ladder match, then a series of YouTube videos where Taichi went spelunking and battled demon dogs. It had it all, Taichi pointing at his dick and demanding Tama punch it, two men battling demonic possession, and then hitting each other really hard. Five stars.

It's so good to have a lumbering big man who is really good in the role. "Athletic big man" is not only becoming an overdone cliche but you'd have to be really good at it to not get overshadowed by Jeff Cobb in the same company.

Pro Wrestling ZERO1 MidSummer Festival - Fire Festival 2022 Night 10
Fire Festival 2022 Final
Daisuke Sekimoto vs Yoshiki Inamura

Veteran beef vs younger beef. Tentative start with an extended hammerlock sequence where they jockey for control, test of strength with a lot of beef clashing with beef, it's clear from minute 1 that this is HEAVYWEIGHT wrestling. And then Sekimoto flies with a tope suicida and the pace starts ramping up a bit.

Rather than write play by play, I'll say I really appreciated the steady start. No, there weren't many flashy things going on in the first 15 minutes and I suppose you could call it simplistic power wrestling but everything felt significant as the match just built and built to a crescendo, Inamura made a bodyslam feel significant.
