MOTYC:

Chris Brookes vs. Yukihi Maya

You've never seen a match as high workrate or as stiff as this one in as small an area as this one. Got a This Is Awesome chant from Will Ospreay/Aussie Open manning the hardcam.

Go out of your way to see it.

Available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmlsiU4mlxY

if not I or Chris Brookes will bootleg it.

Nth, that was a great show.

I watch DDT, it's great! But it doesn't help that you have to block out at least a 30 minute window on each show to turn the show off because they're doing some Pheromones bullshit :mad:

AJPW I ain't buying ANOTHER streaming service just to watch, same deal with Stardom which sucks because everybody who watches Stardom says it loving rules. Their loss is TJPW's gain :colbert:

Absolutely fair, I definitely don't make the effort to watch DDT live like I try to with TJPW just so I can easily skip forward 15 minutes whenever Dieno or Iino hit the screen

No excuses on the AJPW front though, forkboy puts a ton of effort into providing links for all their top matches, you don't need to watch endless Black Menso-re or Saito Brothers tags to see that Yuma Aoyagi is one of the most underrated guys in the world right now or that Yuma Anzai is right up there with Oiwa and Fujita in the rookie rankings.

In all honesty I really prefer watching wrestling "live" and even more with a GDT to post along with, I already find it tough to find the time to set aside to catch up on shows even for the promotions I'm actively following (part of the reason I hate seeing "Uploaded later to Wrestle Universe" so much!). Which makes Stardom even less likely to be a promotion I'd watch, since my understanding is that the vast majority of their shows are recorded and then made available later.

That is a me problem, though every company in the world (wrestling or otherwise) having their individual streaming service is a them problem!

Yeah, the only Stardom events that you can watch live are PPVs. It's loving stupid but here we are. It was at least justifiable when they had short subtitled promos before matches but they seem to have stopped doing that now?

nth both had slight timing issues but were really good matches even with it. Kyle and Goto took like 5 minutes to get on the same page energy wise imo but it was fantastic after that point. Tama did that normal thing where I cant tell what his counters are doing that often takes me out of his matches.
