So I meant to post this after I saw it last year, but I thought 'ach, it's a wee Glaswegian wrestling school, it's not on YouTube', but then I found that it was on YouTube long after the match had passed, so, welp. Okay. So. The Purge is a tag team consisting of Stevie James and Krobar. They used to have another dude named Joseph Vane in the team, but I guess he left the company or something, because I can't find anything about him anywhere. I'm not entirely sure of their gimmick, but Stevie James is basically Not Adam Cole and Krobar is this awesome hoss. Their opponents are the New Age Kliq, BT Gunn and Chris Renfrew, and they've been the Pro Wrestling Elite Tag Team Champions since July. Now, as I mentioned, the GPWA is a wee Glaswegian wrestling school, so they don't have any belts, but since the Purge was really shaping up I guess the NAK decided to give them a title shot. Here's the match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o9s9DVP7Ro This match goes back and forth so loving much, it's incredible. The NAK were over by default because they're in Glasgow, but they worked heel and the Purge really came off strong here as babyface underdogs. I was behind them the whole way, and they had a rematch at the next GPWA show which was even better. (Not on YouTube though, unfortunately.)

Going to repost this from the last thread. MOTYC: KUSHIDA vs. Hiromu Takahashi, NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 11, 1/4 MOTYC: Katsuyori Shibata vs. Hirooki Goto, NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 11, 1/4 MOTYC: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Tetsuya Naito, NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 11, 1/4 MOTYC: Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega, NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 11, 1/4 This is an incredible string of matches, and it topped off one of the greatest wrestling shows of all time. Granted, Okada/Omega outshines the first three, but those matches are all equally amazing and they'll probably be a fuckton better than a lot of matches over the next year.

HM: Juice Robinson vs. Hirooki Goto, NJPW The New Beginning in Sapporo, 02/05 That was brilliant. Thought it'd just be a squash after that desperate opening, but holy heck Juice held his own and then some. He needs a NEVER title reign at some point.

Just as Cena/Styles < Okada/Omega, Cena/Styles < Okada/Suzuki because Kazuchika Okada is the best wrestler in the world would probably place it above Kushida/Takahashi and about level with Shibata/Goto as well

Since it's on World and I just watched it, (http://njpwworld.com/p/s_archive_37_01_07) MOTYC: Katsuyori Shibata vs. Matt Riddle, RevPro High Stakes 2017, 01/21 Riddle and Shibata have so much chemistry together and the crowd is absolutely electric here. Was glued to my seat the whole time. Such a wonderful match.

HM: Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Katsuyori Shibata, NJPW 45th Anniversary Show, 3/6 Sabre is so impressive, Shibata is a drat good technical wrestler when he needs to be, and HOLY gently caress THAT ENDING. e: Jumped the gun a bit here. In hindsight that wasn't even Shibata's best match of the year, even though it was great. Anyway: HM: Hiromu Takahashi vs. Ryusuke Taguchi, NJPW 45th Anniversary Show, 3/6 HM: Kazuchika Okada vs. Tiger Mask W, NJPW 45th Anniversary Show, 3/6 Wonderful show overall. Massive contrast to Fastlane last night. Literally night and day. Venomous fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Mar 6, 2017 |

e2: gently caress it. WMOTYC: Goldberg vs. Kevin Owens, WWE Fastlane, 03/05 A bit of pussyfooting from KO before the match begins, which is all well and good, but the bell rings and Jericho appears on the ramp, KO is distracted, spear, jackhammer, Goldberg wins in 20-odd seconds. BTW this was for the WWE Universal Championship, Raw's top title. Garbage. Venomous fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Mar 6, 2017 |

WMOTYC: Yuji Nagata vs. Tanga Roa, New Japan Cup 1st Round, 03/11 Roa is just not good at singles matches, and it didn't help that Nagata is kinda past his prime. Also, it dragged on for those 11 minutes. Kinda like Cesaro/Jinder from Fastlane. Really bad match. HM: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Evil, New Japan Cup 1st Round, 03/11 Made both of them look strong, didn't bury LIJ at all. Lovely middle with the chairs, and a pretty good gently caress finish too.

Cardboard Box posted:naito's up there, for sure. nothing bad to say about him. Fair. For the record I'm in full agreement with you that Kazuchika Okada is the greatest wrestler in the world right now and his current run of amazing singles matches is proof that he's that good, but I'll be damned if Naito isn't up there with him. e: with that said, I still maintain that Okada/Suzuki > Okada/Shibata, just because I really enjoyed the story they told with Suzuki's technical work and Okada's fighting spirit, but they're both incredible matches.

MOTYC: Hiromu Takahashi vs. Ricochet, NJPW Wrestling Toyonokuni 2017, 04/29 Honestly thought this was better than Kushida/Hiromu at WK11. gdi they pulled out all the stops for this match. Ricochet was at the top of his game here, and Hiromu looked strong as heck defending his title. Can't wait for BOSJ now. (also, had no idea there was an NJPW show this morning, so it was nice to wake up to this match.)

St Evan Echoes posted:I thought it could have used another 5-10 mins, so I'd like to give an HM to Marty Scurll v Will Ospreay, NJPW Best of the Super Juniors 2017 See, I would've been inclined to agree with you, as their match in Edinburgh last month was a lot better from a technical standpoint, but as Marty's debut match in NJPW, possibly his first match in front of a Japanese crowd in general, that match got him and his character over so drat well. Like, in this match he repeatedly took the piss out of Ospreay and his mannerisms, and the way they set up the chickenwing and the finger snap as significant spots was absolutely perfect. I dunno, I just really liked it as a character piece.
