How to watch a lot of wrestling, by Punch McLightning.

Step 1) Have a list of wrestling to watch. Include links if you want. Look for resources for promotions you're interested in but don't know much about, if that's what you're looking for. Cagematch and Grappl are good starting points. Cubsfan is great for lucha. There's a couple other people posting stuff on Twitter. This thread has a lot of good posters, too.
Step 2) Know which matches tend to be extra long, so you don't sit down for an intended twenty minute match with your then not wrestling fan wife and then discover that it's that hour-long Samoa Joe-CM Punk match.
Step 3) When you want to watch something, just pop it on. This is the easiest part.

I'm still holding off on watching WK Day 2 because of the technical issues earlier and not wanting to get invested right before I should go to bed. HOWEVER, if you aren't familiar with Naoki Sano outside of this weekend, I'd strongly suggest you watch his and Liger's WON Match of the Year from January 31, 1990. I gave it ****3/4, which is what I gave Ospreay-Okada from New Japan Cup, Suzuki-Barnett from Bloodsport, Barbaro-Mistoc from CMLL, and Jake Lee-Miyahara from All Japan's Royal Road, amongst others.

You can check it out on New Japan World at https://njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00089_2_1.

Not voting on 2019, but if anyone is a fan of Orange Cassidy comedy, you owe yourself to check out the semi-main event from night 3 of BOLA. They do a lot of fun stuff with him and he's the star of the match.

The finals is a decent, if overlong, triple threat in front of a tired crowd. Just like it is every year.

This is from December 7, so it's not a vote, J-Ru.

But, y'all should check out Bandido vs. Aramis from the MexaWrestling that day. Bandido is a known future star, but Aramis is really great too. You could argue it as a MOTYC, though I have it as a high end HM.

WMOTYC: Lana/Lashley vs Rusev/Liv, RAW 1/20/20

I don't think you'll find a more pointless and stupid main event in any other promotion. Hell, WWE will have to try and make a more pointless match than this. Also Lana loving sucks in the ring.

In the year 2020, technology has advanced to the point where not only can I access a number of television stations for a fee via a tiny computer that doubles as a phone, but I also can use this program to record an unlimited number of shows to watch anything their air at any time, within prescribed time limits.

I used all of this societal advancement to watch this match, and it sucked poo poo. Nth this nomination, and may God have mercy on us all.

HM: Toa Henare, Yota Tsuji, & Yuya Uemura vs. Alex Coughlin, Clark Connors, & Karl Fredericks, NJPW New Year's Dash!! Jan 6

I just rewatched this after only having it on in the background the first time I caught it. Big Uncle Dave gave this four stars, which is maybe a touch high but maybe isn’t? These six are all great already and are only going to get better. They’re all great athletically and show great basics. The match was hard hitting and fast paced. I liked this a lot more than I thought it would. Uemura was, I think, the least impressive of the six but he threw a drop kick that rivaled Okada’s. Good poo poo.
