Would you be my new best friends?

HM: Hyper Misao vs. Raku - TJPW Go Girl 3 8/28

Raku has the ability to lull her opponents to sleep. Hyper Misao comes prepared with a series of gimmicks - including chugging 5-Hour Energy! - to avoid being put to sleep. Will she succeed? Watch to find out!

HM: Shoko Nakajima, Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe vs. Magical Sugar Rabbits & Miyu Yamashita - TJPW Go Girl 3 8/28

Billed as "THE BEST Special 6-Man Tag Team Match", it's six of TJPW's top stars and as a result, it's a high energy, very exciting match helped by the enthusiastic (and allowed to cheer!) women-only crowd being fully into everything, plus MagiRabbi being rude to their own tag partner! Well worth watching, as is the entire show, especially to get a sense of the top of TJPW's roster.

Katsuhiko Nakajima vs Kinya Okada
- A young man trying to get his first win on the last day of the tournament takes on one of the most dangerous members of the roster going for his third straight tournament victory. Short and sweet, hopefully it was actually planned. If Katsu actually knocked out a second guy in as many months then he can gently caress right off

Kongoh (Hajime Ohara, Tadasuke and Hi69) vs Alejandro, Alpha Wolf and Dragon Bane
- A nice high energy tag match to wake the crowd back up after the stretcher job

Yeah, I think I might be done with NOAH after this tournament, there's so much talent but the booking absolutely infuriates me

nth, it was a fun enough show with lots of great guests but also some very questionable choices. I will unfortunately have to nominate:

WMOTYC: Brody King vs Jacob Fatu - HOG World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Finals

which almost instantly ended in a double DQ. This prompted Malakai Black and Amazing Red to come out and turn their planned singles match into a tag team match, which not only robbed us of a full Malaki entrance, but we never got a mention of the tournament again, and the resulting tag match also ended in a DQ. Buddy Matthews was also in a cool 6-way elimination match earlier in the show where he was eliminated by DQ.

That makes the show sound worse then it was. Just about every match had HM-worthy moments and thinking back on it, I'll nominate:
HM: Briscoes (c) vs Private Party vs Mane Event with Max Caster who rapped them to the ring - HOG Tag Team Championships

Mane Event are still pretty green, but they held their own and I was reminded of how silky smooth Marc Quen is. It was the closest I've been for a Briscoes match live, and Mark Briscoe's facial expressions are just so delightful.

RevPro 10th Anniversay Night 1 20/08:

HM: Will Ospreay vs Speedball Mike Bailey

Great match between two of the best but both feltlike they were holding something back for the next night. Which is understandable

HM: Luke Jacobs Vs Francesco Akira

MOTYC: Aussie Open vs Destination Everywhere:

The story of Conor Mills wrestling twice in one night and facing Aussie Open mirrors what happened at High Stakes last year where Oku did the same thing. Mills selling from his earlier match was great and what Oku lacks in smoothness, he makes up for in his babyface charisma. Plus, they're facing one of the best 5 teams in the world.

Night 2: 21/08

HM Luke Jacobs Vs Tony Deppen:

Jacobs was the MVP of the weekend. Think a smaller-scale WALTER who REALLY likes Bryan Danielson. And both his opponents were great foils in different ways

HM: Speedball Mike Bailey vs Leon Slater:

If Jacobs was the MVP, Slater was the breakout star of the weekend. Only his second match in the promotion (first was against soup boy as a last minute replacement), Slater is only 17 but has incredible athleticism, an instant connection with the crowd (all of York Hall was chanting for him by the end) and a natural explosiveness. Maybe Englands answer to Nick Wayne

MOTYC:

Will Ospreay vs Ricky Knight Jnr (RKJ)

Ospreay in RevPro is an entirely different animal to Ospreay anywhere else. This is Ricky's last chance at the title and we're starting to see Ospreay's schedule catch up with him. An incredible match which is up with Will's best this year. An outstanding finish as well

NTH. These shows were both absolute bangers front to back.

LOL that Masaoka did this match with Suzu & then a day later had a bloodbath with Drew Parker.

This is the best singles match Suzu has had this year and is on a level with the matches she had in her deathmatch trial series in Ice Ribbon last year against guys like Takeda, Miyamoto & Kasai. Masaoka has had a fantastic year over in FREEDOMS, including a match that I had in my top 10 for the year to August 6th, & this isn't out of place there.
