GEORGE W BUSHI posted:
I wasn't going to second this because I thought the action was fine and not worth the nomination. But then I thought about it again and now I have to agree with the nomination. It's not so much about the match quality, which wasn't catastrophic even if it wasn't good either. It's about the idea of doing this match with these exact wrestlers in it at that exact event. I like the concept of KOPW and think it's pretty fun and/or funny, or at least can be when the right people are involved. I don't think NJPW needs to intentionally try to inject variety into its shows because the wrestlers themselves can usually take care of that themselves by, you know, just having different matches with varying stories, pacing, psychology, atmosphere etc. But sure, KOPW matches can let the wrestlers try something new and bring out a different side to themselves. The match at Jingu for example was actually really fun and cool and different from what NJPW usually does. However, this match was just all wrong, including (and especially) its setup in the Ranbo. Give some of NJPW's best talent mere minutes in the ring to have some lame rumble action and then in the end have the dirt worst talent on the entire (incredibly talented) roster win. That's already hosed up. I understand why Yano was in the match, but like I said in the GDT, they could have had nearly LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE than Fale, Chase and BUSHI in this match. NJPW Dads vs Yano could've been awesome! Young Lions + Yano could've been awesome! Yano vs his fellow CHAOS boys could've been awesome! A healthy mix of those could've been awesome! Fine, put Fale in there and it could still be awesome! The participants could only have been worse if Yujiro had replaced Yano. Secondly, the event. If this match had happened at a random Road To show or even New Year's Dash!! it would've been much less infuriating. People don't expect greatness or the most amazing lineups from those kinds of NJPW shows. However, this was WRESTLE KINGDOM! The show that's routinely the best of the year! The one where you have to pull out all the stops because that's when you get the new viewers curious about this whole NJPW thing. That's when you get back the fans who for whatever reason couldn't keep up with the product. The eyes of the pro wrestling world are on Wrestle Kingdom, and then they book a lame rear end match with their worst talent to open the second day. They could've run just about anything else in place of this loving match and it would've been better. Like GWB said, don't put this poo poo on WK. Why would you? I guess the four participants might've gotten a nice paycheck from this but otherwise zero people benefited from this. Everyone involved is a joke, the KOPW is a joke and one of the opening matches of WK is a joke. No one tuning in to WK for the first time ever is going to think NJPW is good if they see that match first. Do not put this poo poo on Wrestle Kingdom. Anyway, that's way too many words about a match that didn't deserve them. a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Jan 5, 2021 |

I’m in one of my ”too lazy to nominate anything” phases but I gotta do this MOTYC: Darby and Sting vs Team Taz, AEW Revolution Without a shadow of a doubt the best cinematic match anyone’s put together thus far. Absolutely tremendous work from everyone involved.

What a worker of miracles. Jesus in Heaven looks down upon Ishii making it seem like SANADA was capable of an emotion and sadly shakes his head, muttering that turning water into wine ain't poo poo next to this. Hope you like the Nagata match as well

GEORGE W BUSHI posted:So uh if Kenny vs Mox got WMOTYC nods for a bad post match angle... Don’t take me as defending that stupid loving garbage angle but Mox vs Kenny’s dud explosion was intrinsically a part of the match stipulation and gimmick while Ospreay’s thing wasn’t, so it’s not too difficult to see why people aren’t giving it WMOTYC nods

I'm glad to hear Kazma is good, he came to Finland to wrestle King Kong Karhula a couple of years back and I thought he was amazing. That was my first time seeing Japanese style up close and personal. It's too bad that match can't be found anywhere
