I don't know if it counts for this topic having aired this year but happened last year but everyone who enjoyed Masashi Takeda's work last year needs to see him vs. Jun Kasai from Blood Christmas https://rutube.ru/video/7eeaf28356336218ecfd8112503043c2 Absolutely fantastic.

I guess this is the match recommendations thread so the most appropriate place, so if you sign up for a DDT Bronze Account (free), then you can watch them wrestle on a train live for free in 45 minutes (7pm JST). Not sure if it'll still be free on demand. Last time it was really fun so I heartily recommend it now https://www.ddtpro.com/universe/videos/5594

I agree that the women's started really badly but it was pretty good by the end. I found the men's consistently below average with some bright spots. I hadn't realised Seth Rollins had gone from being a guy fans like to a Vince guy. Last time I heard about him, WWE fans were saying he was wrestler of the year early last year so assumed he was still liked. The match order was awful, I'll definitely give you that. Becky winning felt like the emotional climax of the show and it murdered the crowd for the AJ/Bryan match (which wasn't very good tbh but might have been more enjoyable with a better crowd).

Everyone IS wrong for not liking what I like but if they're happy being wrong then who am I to stop them. MOTYC: Jun Kasai vs. Alex Colon - GCW They Said It Couldn't Be Done (2/17) MOTYC: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Daisuke Sasaki - DDT Judgement (2/17) And while I'm here it was absolutely a bang average match but Naomichi Marufuji deserves a callout for worst individual performance in his match with Tetsuya Endo ending with the shittiest Emerald Flowsion I've ever seen. Poor Endo probably would have been better off if they gave him Yoshihiko to work with. I hope and assume he puts in more effort in his title challenge against Kaito next month.

Watched that Chamber and I think Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston deserve the MOTYC nod but not the other four guys. Jerusalem can you make sure that only those two men receive any credit by adding an asterisk? Thank you.

Not sure how many people will actually watch this, but if I can get just one person to watch and realise how good the younger, cooler Asuka is then I'll consider it a mission accomplished. MOTYC: Nanae Takahashi (c) vs. Asuka for the SEAdLINNNG Beyond the Sea Championship - SEAdLINNNG Luckiest 2019 (3/20) https://rutube.ru/video/395b0759ef61237193d3ceeb9c42f4bb Asuka just goes for it right from the outset. Hate Nanae so much so watching Asuka fling chair after chair at her was very cathartic. Asuka hitting the Io Shirai moonsault off the Korakuen staircase and then jumping up to do her little dance was so cool too. Might be my MOTY if not for joshi HHH putting herself over once again.

MOTYC: Tsukasa Fujimoto vs. TinTin the Giant Panda - Ice Ribbon (3/31) Backstory: Tsukasa Fujimoto won the women's wrestler of the year award from Tokyo Sports this year. During the Awards Ceremony, Tokyo Sports photographers caught her kissing popular wrestler and giant panda, Andreza the Giant Panda. Andreza's scorned wife TinTin, challenged Fujimoto to a match at Ice Ribbon's Korakuen Hall show and attacked her during a press conference causing Tsukka to be hospitalised. It's really funny, and also Fujimoto is such a good wrestler that she pulls some generally innovative spots out of a guy in a 7 foot panda costume. The emotional climax of the match is something you need to experience for yourselves.

If you're picking and choosing your way through the Deathmatch Survivor, don't skip Takeda vs. RSP. Not quite good enough for me to give a HM nod too, but it's cool seeing Takeda doing a sprint instead of a big main event. It was loving wild.

If I haven't given Tony Deppen vs. No Legs an HM then I'll push it onto the list. I'd recommend making your next purge the end of the G1 because it's two thirds through the year and that's going to be hard to keep up with.
