A preview of the Champion Carnival & this really hit the spot, it had some comedy, some good wrestling, lots of fun, & they really elevated Ren Ayabe. And the post-match stuff with Ayabe announcing he was joining All Japan full-time was great & also funny. Man, Kento really is staggeringly enjoyable.

So apparently I'm the high person on this. It is a bit weirdly constructed, but Yuma showed so much heart & spirit fighting from underneath here. I found it very compelling. Nakajima was ruthless. And in the end the right man one against the odds. Can't really complain. Unlike the following match...

Don't watch this here

The pluses? Well, I thought Dan & Hikaru looked cooled in their suits. Ummm. The explosions were satisfying as always when Onita is involved.

There are matches that are bad & funny and then there are matches like this which are just boring and sloppy and not even in a fun way. Just a slog, some walk & brawl plunder stuff, some real dogshit shots with the bat that looked so gentle. And man, Onita's age has really knocked off some of his charisma & mystique. He really isn't Onita anymore, he's just an old bloke. Which hey, he is, fair enough, but doesn't mean it's something that should be watched. It also totally killed the flow of the show, the first 4 matches flew by & then they had to set up for this, then the plodding match happened and then they had to clean up everything. I hope this is Onita being put on ice, he's just not a draw, he's broken down, it's sad.

I'll give HMs to Athena vs. Shida and Briscoe vs. Kingston. Dug both, especially the main event. Starkz and Aminata was real good but I really disliked the neck injury angle and Fletcher/Johnson was a good reminder of the old ROH DVD days where a match would be great and hit a perfect ending point... and then go on another 5-10 minutes.

It had a lot of component parts that were good (and often funny) in isolation but the whole thing wasn't really hanging together, and then towards the end Paul Walter Hauser showed up and just kind of... stood in the ring for awhile. Then took off his hoodie. Then took off his mask. Then stared at Johnny TV a bit. Then hit a move on Johnny TV. Then Dalton came back, the match wrapped up and they'd completely lost the crowd

had a really great time live at DEFY, DDT, GCW/JCW vs the World, and TJPW this weekend. i'm picky so nothing from DEFY made the cut but I loved getting to see original CCK in action - with all of Lykos's injuries I never got the chance pre-covid when I was doing lots of travel for wrestling. plus kenta/gringo logo was like most of the way to a really good match, just kinda hit an inevitable ceiling for a slow-paced main event on a matinee show.

the masha/syuri match deserves to be here for the sheer balls of booking a 30 minute time limit draw at 1 in the loving morning. i was genuinely doing a :sickos: cackle down the home stretch of this match and it had some great sequences in it. jordan oliver vs aigle blanc barely missed the cut, definitely worth watching if you're tracking down vods from the collective
