MOTYC: Dijack vs Keith Lee, NXT 8/28/19

Big Boy Battle Brawl did not disappoint.

Have these two had a bad match together ever, literally?

MOTYC: Katsuhiko Nakajima vs. Masaaki Mochizuki - NOAH N1 Victory 2019 (8/18)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFjbYjmG70E

Two of the absolute best kick guys in the business kicking the poo poo out of each other. Awesome ending. Nakajima is the coolest guy in wrestling, especially given what a dork he was before he got a perm.

MOTYC: Antonio Honda vs. Lulu Pencil - Gatoh Move (10/27)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Zx2WeoTGZ8

This match has to be seen to be believed but Pumi beginning by saying it is the greatest match of all time is no exaggeration. Lulu's gimmick of being absolutely terrible at pro wrestling is the greatest thing ever and this match maybe has the best ending ever.

Can't believe that Honda is going from this to wrestling Kenny Omega in Sumo Hall in the space of a week.

Wrestling is art. MOTYC.

These were both loving excellent - except the UE double kick has got to see like one of the weakest loving finishers ever, I'm glad its a tag-team move, but its a loving leg swipe and chest kick...., I'm pretty sure I could take it and kick out :colbert: )


There aren't a lot of things I'd say Undisputed Era isn't great at but the Eliminators made Total Elimination look like death

wrestling isn't hard, it turns out

i'm kind of realizing this and recalibrating what I think a Great match is these days, it's like Marvel/Disney at this point - they're not going to putting out an abjectly "Bad" movie, everything's gonna be in that ***/***1/2 spot, unless it really makes me FEEL something (Rocky-El P leaps to mind since I just watched it), I don't think it's gonna get that Big Nod.

HM: Leyla Hirsch v David Starr, Beyond Wrestling Uncharted Territory, 12/19/19 - I've liked a lot of Hirsch's matches in Beyond, but this was a starmaker.
