HM 24th March CMLL Super Viernes Atlantis Jr, Soberano Jr & Titan vs El Barbaro Cavernario, Niebla Roja & Yota Watch this here Yes, that's Yota Tsuji before he came back from his excursion on the rudo side, against his future LIJ teammate Titan. HM 21st April CMLL Super Viernes Lightning Match Panterita del Ring Jr vs Templario Watch this here A really good 1 fall 10 minute time limit kind of sprint, great chemistry from this pair. MOTYC 24th December Stardom Year End Climax Elimination Tag Team Match Oedo Tai (Fukigen Death, Momo Watanabe, Natsuko Tora, Rina, Ruaka & Starlight Kid) vs Queen's Quest (AZM, Hina, Lady C, Miyu Amasaki, Saya Kamitani & Utami Hayashishita) Watch this here This one probably gets lost with the much bigger Dream Queendom having a couple of days later, but this is classic Stardom, a great sprint elimination tag, hot crowd, everyone gets a chance to shine. Well booked, very well executed, highly recommended. HM 24th December Stardom Year End Climax Donna Del Mondo (Giulia & Maika) & MIRAI vs Megan Bayne, Saori Anou & Suzu Suzuki Watch this here HM 28th December SEAdLINNNG Last Battle 2023 Arisa Nakajima & DASH Chisako vs Hiroyo Matsumoto & Ryo Mizunami Watch this here You look at the names involved & you know what you're going to get & it delivers. A match with Nakajima, DASH, Matsumoto & Aniki can't be bad. MOTYC 28th December SEAdLINNNG Last Battle 2023 Beyond The Sea Title Sareee(c) vs Ayame Sasamura Watch this here Sareee has to be comeback wrestler of the year. Another banger, & honestly thought this did a great job elevating Ayame too, especially considering she had to fill in on relatively short notice with Riko Kaiju retiring/going on hiatus. Some pretty wild suplexes from Sareee.

HM: Mark Briscoe, Claudio Castagnoli, Bryan Danielson & Daniel Garcia vs. Brody King, Jay Lethal, Rush & Switchblade Jay White - AEW World's End 12/30 Started slow, got better, turned great, finished extremely well. MOTYC: Christian Cage (C) vs. Adam Copeland in a No Disqualification Match for the TNT Title - AEW World's End 12/30 From just before the opening bell to just after the bell rang at the end of the match, this was an incredible (and violent!) experience. MOTYC: Eddie Kingston vs. Jon Moxley in the Continental Classic Final - AEW World's End 12/30 "YOU WANT 100% MOTHERFUCKER!?!" One of the weaker PPVs that AEW has done, but still managed to have two MOTYCs on it!

AJPW MANIAx December 31st MOTYC Katsuhiko Nakajima (c) vs Kento Miyahara - Triple Crown - gently caress the hell yes. The crowd was far more behind Kento than their NOAH match which was more 50/50 which was great to hear. Dragged a little bit in the middle but once Nakajima started laying in the kicks to a seated Kento it reached the quality I was expecting from these two HM Shotaro Ashino and T-Hawk vs Seigo Tachibana and Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Zennichi Shin Jidai (Rising HAYATO and Atsuki Aoyagi) vs 37KAMIINA (Yuki Ueno and Toi Kojima) El Lindaman (c) vs Dan Tamura - PWF Jr Title Very good show for the new viewers from FITE, the main was a bit below the NOAH match but that's no knock on it at all

HM 2nd June CMLL Super Viernes CMLL World Trios Titles Euforia, Hechicero & Mephisto(c) vs Atlantis Jr, Star Jr & Volador Jr Watch this here MOTYC 16th June CMLL Super Viernes Mistico vs Titan Watch this here CMLL seems to have stopped uploading their Friday shows for free & went to a Youtube subscription later in June so I'm calling there. There's been some great stuff but I already follow too many wrestling subscription plans to add another. I was looking forward to Rocky Romero vs Mascara Dorada but at least this way I can focus on the big 3 Japanese shows from this weekend I want to try watching, from Stardom, GLEAT & AJPW.

MOTYC 31st December All Japan MANIAx 2023 Triple Crown Katsuhiko Nakajima(c) vs Kento Miyahara I need to rewatch this to work out where it fits on my end of year list. Probably going to be #5 or #6, depending on if I can decide if I like it more than their match from July. This absolutely loving ruled right from the off. Totally different in that the crowd weren't split this time, & for whatever reason Nakajima had his head shaved & was repping Inoki. He even did the infamous buttscoot kicks that Inoki did against Ali, got I popped so hard for that. Just magisterial. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 13:26 on Jan 1, 2024 |

End of year wrapup for anyone interested. This year I nominated 263 MOTYC over 29 promotions and 254 Wrestlers, slightly less than last years total of 281 MOTYC although spread over more promotions. Top 10 Wrestlers 28 - Kento Miyahara (AJPW, NOAH) 25 - Yuma Aoyagi (AJPW) 15 - Kazuchika Okada (NJPW, NOAH) 13 - Will Ospreay (NJPW, RIXE, AEW) 11 - Shuji Ishikawa (AJPW, GLEAT) 10 - Takuya Nomura (AJPW, BJW, Kakuto Tanteidan) 9 - Daisuke Sekimoto (AJPW, BJW, GLEAT), Yuji Okabayashi (AJPW, BJW), Yuma Anzai (AJPW), Zack Sabre Jr (AEW, NJPW) For the second year running Kento Miyahara is the Best of the Best, read the loving tights and listen to the song. He and Yuma Aoyagi have the advantage over the rest of the field as in addition to working the big singles matches they also work tag league and are able to flourish there as well. No surprise to see the Strong BJ guys here, even in front of a hundred strong crowd they consistently entertain. It is slightly surprising to see Shuji Ishikawa this high, though a lot of that can be attributed to his late surge during Tag Lague with parter Ren Ayabe. No women in the top 10 this year but if I extended it to top 20 you'd see Arisa Nakajima and Sareee both at 8 as well as Chihiro Hashimoto, Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima tied with 7. By Promotion 75 - New Japan 47 - All Japan 30 - DDT 24 - TJPW 14 - Interpromotional matches 12 - Big Japan 10 - SEAdLINNNG 9 - GLEAT 6 - Ganbare Pro, Stardom 4 - FREEDOMS 3 - NOAH 2 - 2AW, Marvelous, Sareee-ISM, wXw, ZERO1 1 - BAKA Office, Dragongate, EPW, JTO, Kakuto Tanteidan, Kyushu Pro, Michinoku Pro, OZ Academy, Prominence, Rixe Catch, Sendai Girls, Tenryu Project, Triple Six Top 10 Matches 1.
