MOTYC: Will Ospreay (C) vs. Shota Umino for the IWGP UK/US Championship - NJPW Power Struggle 11/4

The absolute best character work I have ever seen from Shota Umino, absolutely star-making stuff from a guy who was already in the process of becoming a star but kicked it up another notch tonight in an astonishing way. Plus, you know, Ospreay is absolutely phenomenal in the ring too which doesn't hurt! The 25 minute call absolutely blew my goddamn mind.

2nd November
All Japan Giant Series Hokkaido Edition Night 3
Fuminori Abe & Zennichi Shin Jidai (Kento Miyahara & Yuma Aoyagi) vs Ryo Inoue, Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai

This was an extremely charming, extremely fun & genuinely very good house show style match. Y'know, we're not working at 100%, we're having some fun, having some laughs, it's Yuma Aoyagi's birthday, but at the same time the young team here are hungry for the upset & won't back down. Abe is a good fit in this sort of match because when he's not violently stiffing the poo poo out of his opponent he does some goofy poo poo, his selling at times is Flair Flop levels of silly, and then there's the rebound punch he does. Just had a lot of good times watching this. Sometimes that's all you need

Archive.org is also being used to preserve 2023 AJPW videos, if I'm not mistaken.

They are, however, a real indie that's struggling to make ends meet and not part of some megacorp like other promotions are. I really encourage you to give them the few dollars a month - their main events are well worth it.
