MOTYC - Go Shiozaki vs Katsuhiko Nakajima - NOAH The Chronicle V 4

I can't quite shake the emotional intensity of this match, still thinking about it 24 hours later to the point I'm going to watch it again tonight. Probably my favorite match of the year just by way of it having this much effect on me, and it wasn't something I was expecting to hit me like that, just completely bought into the idea that these two chaps wanted to end one another.

I only tuned in on time to catch the end of M's vs Sugiura-gun yesterday, so if time allows will get to see that and Kenoh vs Kaito tonight, the latter of which I am especially excited about.

Thirded, loved this match, Mayu's great as always but Utami really came across as a relentless force in this in the best possible way.

Honestly not had a bad title defence this year. It's been extraordinary.

I agree with this and him being wrestler of the year, just want to add that by extension he's had the best reign of a champion in any promotion as well in 2020 that I've seen. His character, aura, story and skill I think are all exactly what Noah needs at this moment in it's history. They've been diverse matches too, it seems everyone who rates him has a slightly different list of their favourites.

The funny cat man and the funny rear end man decided to show that they're two of the best ever.

nth. I am way behind on New Japan and hoping to remedy that this week but managed to catch this.

Go wrapped up champion of the year


Nth.

As much as I loved the Nakajima match, I liked this even more and I wasn't expecting that to be the case. I thought without the hatefulness of the previous defense this might not have the same level of intensity. Then homeboy gets blood from his first chop...

Barring a miracle this one is undoubtedly match of the year for me, completely lost my poo poo at several points in it.

MOTYC: El Desperado vs. Hiromu Takahashi - Best of the Super Juniors Final 12/11

The moment where El Desperado got so angry he just tore the remains of his mask off and he and Hiromu started slapping the poo poo out of each other was absolutely loving incredible.

Nth.

I knew Desperado ruled but that moment was another level of awesome entirely.
