This was like an ideal house show crowd, they were really vocal, they freaked out when the Saito Brothers & Hikaru Sato were brawling around the venue, they were super into Kento & Yuma & you could tell everyone had fun wrestling in front of them. It was also really nice because there were a lot of kids. Just fun.

Self-indulgent post because there's just 2 months left of 2023

More than 60 shows on my "to watch" list, so I could watch 2 a day & still not have seen anything from November or December, which is a bit bleak. 2287 matches watched across 515 shows.

Promotions by MOTYCs
1.New Japan 58
2.All Japan 44
3.Stardom 30
4.NOAH 24
5.Dragongate 20

Wrestlers by MOTYCs
1.Kento Miyahara 24
2.Yuma Aoyagi 23
3.Kenoh 14
4.Kazuchika Okada 12
5.Atsuki Aoyagi 11

Masashi Takeda is the only other one to have gotten into double figures with 10.

Wrestler of the Year
1.Kento Miyahara
2.Yuma Aoyagi
3.Kenoh
4.Takuya Nomura
5.Atsuki Aoyagi

Based on a totally unscientific score summing up all their matches, with some weighting towards higher rated matches. So Nomura is in there because it's ludicrously consistent where as Okada quite sensibly is OK taking a night off if it's a meaningless tag. Nomura is a psycho who is capable of putting out a **** match in front of 80 people in a park, & the only match under *** I have for him was a battle royal. Top women's wrestler is Suzu Suzuki at #7, then after her is #24 Arisa Nakajima.

Match of the Year
1.Arisa Nakajima vs Sareee, SEAdLINNNG 25/8
2.Fuminori Abe vs Takuya Nomura, Kakuto Tanteidan 12/10
3.Kento Miyahara & Takuya Nomura vs Naoya Nomura & Yuma Aoyagi, AJPW 22/1
4.Katsuhiko Nakajima vs Kento Miyahara, NOAH 15/7
5.Kenny Omega vs Will Ospreay, NJPW 4/1

TJPW City Circuit 03.11.23

MOTYC: Saki Akai & Yuki Kamifuku vs Hyper Misao & Rika Tatsumi

Haven't watched TJPW in a little bit and this poo poo hit good. There's something about the promotion's house style that always works for me. Always feels like that extra effort is always put in for fun/creative sequences while still doing enough to make it feel like a struggle between competitors, and just the right balance of slapstick

Plus it's Akai's last TJPW match. Real shame to see her go, but she's given us so many great matches over the years I feel she's well within her rights not to hurt her back over and over again for our entertainment anymore

They've been hit by the normal Post-G1 Slowdown plus the baffling decision to make everything past that be dominated by House of Torture, but New Japan really had an incredible first 2/3rds of the year.

Also as always I'm in awe of how much wrestling you've seen!
