 HM: Ninja Mack vs. Dragon Bane vs. Alpha Wolf vs. Alejandro in a Four Way Survival Elimination Match - NOAH N-1 Victory Finals 9/3
Absolutely ridiculous and a ton of fun. The tope to the guys waiting outside the ring lying laid out on the floor was loving insane.

HM: Kenoh vs. Go Shiozaki in the N-1 Final - NOAH N-1 Victory Finals 9/3
Really, really good match with some terrifyingly hard shots from both. It got better and better as it went along, though never quite hit MOTYC status for me as the commentary kind of seemed designed entirely to make it clear that Shiozaki was winning, which somewhat took away from the drama for me. drat good match though.

 AJPW Giant Series September 3rd
MOTYC
Rising HAYATO vs Hiromu Takahashi
- My favourite Hayato singles match this year, shows the faith the company have to give him a match with the biggest Junior in the country and for Hayato to actually hang with him

Yuma Aoyagi (c) vs Satoshi Kojima - Triple Crown
- I was so tense this match, the last couple of minutes especially I trying my hardest not to blink so I wouldn't miss anything.

DIAMOND EGOIST (Michiko Miyagi, Lena Kross and Aoi) vs Sendai Girls (Chihiro Hashimoto, Millie McKenzie and Yurika Oka)

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
