Aesculus posted:MOTYC Bryan Danielson VS Kazuchika Okada, NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 1.4 Nthing. I know what Bryan Danielson's favorite Okada match is, it's from February 2017 against Suzuki. I remember him raving about how much he loved it. He decided to do his version of that match. That match, back in 2017, got 4.75 stars from Meltzer, it was exceptionally good. This match blew that one out of the water. Unreal.

NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 - 1/4 HM: Yuya Uemura v. Yota Tsuji - Just barely an HM, largely because I really like these dudes and hope they have plenty of fun matches against each other Shingo Takagi (c) v. Tama Tonga for the NEVER Openweight Title Hiromu Takahashi (c) v. El Desperado for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title SANADA (c) v. Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP World Heavyweight Title - A solid main event. Naito's never been my favorite, and SANADA's reign has been kind of lackluster, but they ended up telling a nice little story in front of a very loud Tokyo Dome crowd. MOTYC: Will Osprey (c) v. David Finlay v. Jon Moxley for the IWGP Global Heavyweight Title - I get Finlay's detractors but I kinda like him and I think he did enough to establish himself as New Japan's top foreign heel. So I felt that he added more to the match despite initially wishing he'd gently caress off and let Moxley and Ospreay fight. But of course Ospreay and Moxley were the real stars. I loved when they dusted off their hands after nuking Finlay and hopped into the ring to face off. I hope to see them face off many more times in AEW. Kazuchika Okada v. Bryan Danielson - As much as I love Kento Miyahara, Okada is still my favorite main event wrestler. Even though this wasn't the main event, Okada has so much ring presence that it really felt like a main event, with weight behind every strike, every submission hold, and every nearfall.

Haven't been able to watch wrestling consistently in a while but I had to see two of my favourite guys go at it.Aesculus posted:MOTYC Bryan Danielson VS Kazuchika Okada, NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 1.4 Nth. Incredible match, I loved it, but also, it's somehow disappointing to me? Like of the few matches I've seen this year it's the best for sure, I greatly enjoyed it, I would recommend it to everyone, it had a real big match feel, I would rate it five stars, and also, somehow, I kind of expected it to be better. The nth still stands though! Just that I hold these two in such high regard that merely "best match of the year so far" feels like they're not doing as good as I feel like they should.

MOTYC: Zack Sabre Jr.(c) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi for the New Japan Television Title - NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 1/4 I love ZSJ so much he's always a MOTYC for me especially at the dome and this didn't disappoint. MOTYC: Will Ospreay (C) vs. Jon Moxley vs. David Finlay for the IWGP Global Championship - NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 1/4 really great entrances from everyone. Right level of outside fuckery for a gaijin match at the dome. This really brought me round on Finlay. We even got a glimpse of a MOX v Ospreay singles match, something I'm sure we'll get in AEW. HM: Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada - NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 1/4 Really really loved this but felt cut short to me. This is just my expectations but I was wanting a 40 min-hour Tokyo dome clinic but this brought it down imo as I was just getting really into it and then it was over. I preferred the AEW match. Hopefully they run it again at ALL IN. MOTYC: SANADA (C) vs. Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship - NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 1/4 Two guys I've always just /liked/ but tonight they really clicked for me. Great chemistry, good story and I got my 40 min+ epic with finisher spamming at the end. I love it. Excited for the future hopefully EVIL is not involved. Edit: this was not over 40 mins. Hmm.

But I was really surprised by the finish, it felt like they could've gone another ten minutes no problem. Maybe they're saving something for a rubber match, I dunno.

the 3 MOTYC off the top of my head from 4/1/2024 Stardom: Mayu Iwatani (c) vs Syuri for the IWGP women's title. Maybe match of the day. Brutal as gently caress, built to an insane crescendo Stardom: Suzu Suzuki and Giulia vs Maika and Megan Bayne. Insanely great tag. Megan Bayne is getting so much out of her time in Stardom. NJPW: Danielson vs Okada. Actually had me believing Danielson might win this. Somewhat abrupt ending but fantastic action all the way through. Have to give a few matches a rewatch.

Already managed to start falling behind on my recs HM 3rd January All Japan New Year Giant Series Night 2 Hokuto Omori & Minoru Suzuki vs Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Seigo Tachibana Watch this here Minoru Suzuki playing the grumpy straight man to goofy nonsense always hits with me, & for some reason Ikemen's shtick really makes me smile, even if he didn't make a small child cry this time. HM 3rd January All Japan New Year Giant Series Night 2 Triple Crown Katsuhiko Nakajima(c) vs Charlie Dempsey Watch this here Best match of the double shot for AJPW I think, I quite enjoyed Dempsey. He's obviously green as grass but he's got a good look, & meanwhile Nakajima just kicked the poo poo out of him & hell yeah. HM 3rd January Stardom New Year Stars 2024 Happy New Year Stardom Artist of Stardom Titles & Triangle Derby Final Donna Del Mondo (Giulia, Mai Sakurai & Thekla)(c) vs God's Eye (Ami Sourei, MIRAI & Syuri) Watch this here Didn't think so much of the D-Oh Final. Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins was almost but not quite HM level. I really have to watch Wrestle Kingdom today.
