Speaking of Hiromu:

HM: TAKA Michinoku & Taichi vs. BUSHI & Hiromu Takahashi, best of 3 falls from TAKA & TAICHI Season 2

It had it all: unrelenting cowardice and cheating, gently caress finishes, Hiromu pretending to be a cat, good wrestling, a cool actual finish.

Seconded. Also Hiromu rocking out to Taichi's theme, a BUSHI/Hiromu theme mash up that I want to hear a proper version of and TAKA being completely unwilling to deal with Hiromu's poo poo. I think they also managed to get all of Taichi's fans together in one place too.

No idea what happened with the tomato guy after the match though. I think he wanted a match with BUSHI at the next Kaientai Dojo show?


The Kanemaru/Suzuki match was a lot of fun too.

E: oh and MOTYC: Kento Miyahara vs Shuji Ishikawa and MOTYC: Strong BJ vs Kai and Naoya Nomura but this Taka Taichi de Japon poo poo is more important right now. They even played that stupid J-pop Taka Taichi song.

WMOTYC: Marti Belle vs Rachel Evers, Mae Young Classic Round 1 (8/28/17)

Absolutely terrible match, combined with the fact that apparently it was so bad, the finish was changed halfway through. :psyduck:

It probably won't win because of Triplemania from this past weekend, but it's still BAD. Marti has no business being in a wrestling ring. Or in the wrestling industry in general.

just saw this and yeah.

Also only just put two and two together on Ellering's WWE name being a reference to Lance's real name.

HM: Kenny Omega (C) vs Juice Robinson for the IWGP US Title at DESTRUCTION in Kobe, 9/24

Not just the first defense of Kenny's US Title, but a rematch of his G1 upset loss to Juice. Here's a shocking revelation for you all - Kenny Omega is an amazing loving wrestler.

Seconded, that was the best match of the tour for me.

For anyone who didn't watch the show but watches NJPW and wants to know which matches are worth checking out I'd recommend watching Beretta/Yujiro, it's not a fantastic match that deserves an HM or anything but it was really good, and for someone like me who's only been watching a year it shows that Yujiro is actually capable of holding his own and isn't poo poo.

HM: Ambrose & Rollins (c) vs Cesaro & Sheamus, WWE No Mercy, 9/24

Also from the same show, the women's five way was pretty drat good. Bray/Finn and Jordan/Miz also worth watchin if you're feeling completionist

2nd. Good first half of the card. The upper card was pretty dire though.

MOTYC: KUSHIDA/Ospreay

It was a cut above the matches in the HM list imo and belongs with the MOTYC matches. It's not going to win many people's MOTY, but unless you cut that list down to like 4 matches most of the other ones there won't either.

HM: Toru Yano vs Colt Cabana, ROH Global Wars 10/15

easily my match of the night

actually this was really funny and I recommend seeing it if you enjoy Yano matches. I kinda doubted it beforehand because I think Yano works best with a straight man but it was great.

Probably an outside shot at MOTYC in another year

third and

I might have gone MOTYC for the main event and might still on a second watch but it was really hard to get into the early stages after that loving reveal.

WMOTY: Bad Luck Fale vs BUSHI - NJPW World Tag League Finals 12/11

God this was so lame. And short. And with such a terrible ending.

I'm going to second this one. I could tell what they wanted but it needed a lot more BUSHI dodging Fale's lumbering swings before Fale completely clubbers him.
