MOTYC: Kazuchika Okada (C) vs. Kota Ibushi for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship - NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 14 Night 1

Absolutely incredible from the entrances to the outfits to the wrestling to the character work to the facial expressions to the ending. Just the absolute best possible wrestling from the best possible wrestlers in the world today.

Unironically calling this match of the decade because i guarantee this is in my top 5 of the 2020s.

MOTYC: AXIZ (Go Shiozaki & Katsuhiko Nakajima) (c) vs. Naomichi Marufuji & Masaaki Mochizuki for the GHC Tag Team Championship - NOAH Reboot (1/5)

Pretty sure that NOAH are doing tag team wrestling better than anyone out there right now. Note: this match happened after the Go Shiozaki vs. Kaito Kiyomiya match for the GHC title on 1/4 so if you're trying to avoid spoilers for that, don't watch this.

Big time 2nd. Easily the best tag match from "Wrestle Kingdom Week" if you will imo. Everyone in this match are incredible by themselves and as two teams, just :kiss:

MOTYC: Chris Brookes vs. Miyako Matsumoto - Gake no Fuchi Pro Wrestling Gakeppuchi Snow White 2020 (1/4)

If you don't have DDT Universe forums poster Johnny Landmine's thread should convince you

3rd this one. The ref bump sequence early on was my favorite part. This match was a trip and took an insane turn near the end. Also Brookes did not go easy with those chops of his on Matsumoto good god. Brookes in Japan is one of my favorite things that I loosely follow and need to follow more.

WMOTY: Riho (C) vs. Kris Statlander for the AEW Women's Championship - AEW Dynamite 1/8

A terrible clusterfuck of bad booking. Neither Riho nor Kris are to blame for this dreadful poo poo, they deserved so much better.

Nth just for Brandi's commentary alone. The fact that they almost redeemed themselves from the overbooking and then went back to bad is kind of impressive and that's why they deserve this spot here.

 Nthing PAC/Darby for MOTY and the 4-way tag for HM. And gonna toss this into the pile

HM: Isiah "SWERVE" Scott vs. Lio Rush vs. Tyler Breeze, NXT 1/15

If only for my love of Tyler Breeze. Fun little triple threat match. Swerve is also just the coolest. Hope he can somehow do well there.
