MOTYC Miyu Yamashita vs Maki Itoh (TJPW Korakuen 2021 - January 4th)

I've heard a lot of people mentioning that Maki Itoh is their "favorite wrestler they've never seen wrestle before" and if you're in that camp, this is probably the one to watch.

Although pretty story-driven and plays off years of their on/off again feuding, they do a great job catching you up before and during the match. Maki Itoh is a rebellious brat who always bites off more than can chew and sees Yamashita as one of her greatest rivals that she's got to overcome. Itoh tends to proclaim that everyone is her rival that she can't beat and then throws a tantrum if her friends or tag-team partners get more popular than she does, dumping them and challenging them to a fight. Itoh's been trying unsuccessfully since her debut at ever defeating Yamashita

Miyu Yamashita on the other hand bounces between the company's Champion/Ace and working with the rookies to elevate TJPW as a whole. Beating Itoh is a little beneath her as one of the best women in the world right now, but nonetheless she always considers Itoh her friend and constantly tries to show her affection or respect but Itoh constantly pushes her away and gives her the middle finger instead. They have a sort of big sister/little sister vibe, Miyu obviously likes Itoh a lot.

The match itself shows how far Itoh's come as a wrestler since her debut, taking everything Miyu's got while begging for more, with Itoh pulling out some brand new moves and some surprising counters that she's learned from wrestling with and against Miyu for so long.

Okada seems to only take every other year seriously now which is fine with me, because it lets other people be at the top of the card :v:

DDT Isn't It Dramatic 2021
Akito and Shota vs Danshoku Dieno and Sanshiro Takagi

It's a nonsense match on a show in front of 100 people with 1 camera but this match is fantastic DDT nonsense. Let me just quote Dramatic DDT

"Strap yourselves in folks, Match #4 was weird. Shota hadn’t recovered from the Street Fight he wrestled in yesterday and was worried he wouldn’t last in the ring today. Akito assured him their match against Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno would only be a test of mental strength and patience. He came up with a match where everyone wore “Super Mouth Cannons” over their faces that made loud honk noises if they breathe too hard. Both teams started with 10 points and would lose a point if the mouth cannon made a noise. This was meant to teach the wrestlers not to over exert themselves."

So imagine a match where every time they make a sound it's like a duck call. It's loving dumb and good.
Seconding, I saw this match when it aired and it was just the perfect weird DDT spectacle

HM: Kushida vs Johnny Gargano from NXT Vengeance 2/14

Flashes of both guys being some of the best Jr Heavyweights in the last 5 years, lots of great spots and near-falls. I'd say it's the best NXT match of the year so far, but NXT style still doesn't hold a candle to the competition anymore, both guys could have put on a MOTY in any other company.

You should still seek it out, I still loved the match but almost every other company gives their wrestlers a lot more freedom to have better matches.

HM: Maki Itoh & Miyu Yamashita (Pop Team Epic) vs Rika Tatsumi and Miu Watanabe (DayDream)

Lots of new Maki Itoh fans here, this is a must-see if you're into her. Yamashita and Itoh have such unique offense based on their gimmicks/personality/abilities, and you're watching four of the best girls in the promotion in one match. I cannot stress how innovative Itoh/Yamashita's offense are when they're tagging together

Fujimoto was one of my favorite wrestlers a decade ago and never would I have thought she'd just decide to do nothing but MOTYC's in her late 30's, she's better than she's ever been.

Tsukasa Fujimoto vs Rina Yamashita

I think this is my match of the year to this point? Certainly right up there with Cobb Takagi & Ibushi White. The only times I wasn't on the edge of my seat I was just about to pushed back to the edge of my seat. Just absolutely loving stellar wrestling.

Whole show is great but the caveat is it's an iPPV & it's still available to buy for the next week here, & yeah, at 3,350 Yen it's not cheap but the whole show really is very good from start to the stellar finish.

Recently found out Tsukasa got her start at the same time as Hikaru Shida, they were both in an idol group (which also featured Miyako Matsumoto you may have seen have an insane match 13 months ago with Chris Brookes in Gake No Fuchi Puroresu) whose members were in a wrestling themed film, Three Count, & as part of it they all trained with Emi Sakura & Matsumoto, Fujimoto & Shida were the 3 to stick it out & they've all made a career out of it. Fujimoto is tremendous.
Third here, and also Nth to

This was fantastic. I love these two idiots. All the spots where they had to argue with the referee over whether something counted as something that could be found in a kids' room owned.
Nth!

Shunma does the weird adult-child gimmick so much better than Alexa Bliss. Mao justifying a table as being a "slide" because it was propped up against the railing is A+

This match was absurd and graphic and silly and superbly performed. Lots of very very stupid stunts that ended up elevating both guys.

It was a very silly deathmatch with non-gimmicked barbed wire and thumbtacks, these two are great and Brookes (Loosely translated) exchange with Matsui over the content of the LEGO box was hilarious.

Brookes: What the gently caress is this?

MOTYC: Thunder Rosa vs Britt Baker from AEW St Patrick's Day Slam

The second best US women's match in the last ten years, bar none. It was drat close to beating Bayley/Sasha from Takeover Brooklyn, but I think these two matches might be the best two women's matches on US soil ever. Britt skipped the Muta scale and was on the Hakuto scale

God drat, what a match, and these women are only going to get better.

- Got to love those Sauna Boys, and Damnation played the foils well. Endo remains one of the smoothest wrestlers in the world and Takeshita is strong
Seconding all these recommendations.

I died at the ref stopping Ueno from killing himself and then asking if he missed his spot and Ueno laughing and giving this look like "I ran out of space!" while retreating back to the tag rope
