forkboy84 posted:A 2020 match for you that just aired today 2nd. I took my girlfriend to this show because she wanted to spend time together on Christmas and I was a little worried about her seeing FREEDOMS but she loved this match. Apparently the ending is a reference to some popular Japanese Christmas movie Also from the same show MOTYC: Jun Kasai & Kenji Fukimoto vs. Toshiyuki Sakuda & Takayuki Ueki This was Ueki's FREEDOMS debut and he pulled off one of the best individual performances of the year. Absolute madman. Sakuda remains an evil loving gnome of a man. MOTYC: Toru Sugiura (c) vs. Masashi Takeda for the King of FREEDOMS People who tell you that Go Shiozaki was the best champion in Japan in 2020 haven't been watching FREEDOMS. Sugiura had an absolutely stellar reign where he made it through all the pillars of FREEDOMS including beating Takeda himself via blood loss in August. The story going in was that Sugiura needed to beat Takeda to establish himself as the true champion and he told that story of desperation perfectly. https://twitter.com/b3rt4/status/1346478121000738820?s=19

MOTYC: Masashi Takeda & Jun Kasai vs. Rina Yamashita & Minoru Fujita - FREEDOMS Reach for the Star (1/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW28k3d3FSY These four had my favourite match of the year last year and they might have gone and topped it in Shinkiba 1st Ring. Absolutely crazy match, I cannot believe that Rina is wrestling again today after what she did to her back in this match. One very scary botch and one very funny one, but both were played off very well and added to the story of the match. Terrifying and incredible in equal measures. It's a shame that this will be the least time we see Takeda and Kasai as a tag team for a long time

HM: Shigehiro Irie vs. Tsubasa - Colega Pro Wrestling Saturday Night Rising Stars Grand Opening (1/23) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-Mp1wfB_D8&t=3062s Could really nominate any match from this show but this was probably the best. Colega has come out of nowhere to run daily shows and it's honestly one of the highlights of my day right now. The community is great and the booking is really well done. It's showcasing a bunch of Land's End and Osaka wrestlers I'd never seen before and they're all shining. I'd strongly recommend at least watching the Saturday shows to anyone because they're supposed to be the major ones.

MOTYC: Saori Anou vs. Hibiscus Mii - Colega Pro Wrestling Stars Night (1/28) HM: #STRONGHEARTS (CIMA & T-Hawk) vs. Keiichi Sato & Alejandro - Colega Pro Wrestling Stars Night (1/28) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9cpNbd3gjY&t=2495s (the matches are one after the other but you'll need to skip ahead ~5 minutes unless you want to watch ring cleaning) I'm going to keep evangelizing for this promotion because it's the most fun I've had watching pro wrestling in ages and it's keeping me tuning in despite running six days a week. Saori Anou is one of the best wrestlers in the whole world. Her fluidity and flexibility are almost super human and her selling is among the best out there. Hibiscus Mii is so great as a powerhouse bully that I think she's the biggest wrestler in Colega's women's division despite being even shorter than Ancham. This match is playing off tension between the two that has been simmering since the first Colega show and Anou's last before returning to Tokyo and rules throughout, but the absolute frenetic pace they take at the end as they play off their desperation to get the victory after the three minutes remaining call is incredible and pushes it into being one of my favourite matches of the year. Anou hits a bridging straitjacket suplex into a submission hold that I will vote 2021 move of the year if she keeps doing it. I hope Anou heads back to Osaka for more Colega sooner than later (even if it means I won't get to see her in person quite so often). The main event is another fun #STRONGHEARTS match where CIMA gets to show off that he is one of the most charismatic people in all of wrestling. Also worth noting that Colega own their own venue and allow fans to chant and boo (and they boo quite frequently) so if you're missing live puro with crowd noise then Colega is the show to watch.

Shinkiba shows were either lost to history or uploaded as a music video prior to them getting a streaming service so it's not like you're losing out on matches that you'd have seen otherwise. I'll post the match once the PPV expires and is unavailable legally.

One cool thing about the SEAd vs Stardom match I forgot to mention is how partisan the crowd was. There were people flat out refusing to clap for anything the Stardom girls did and then coming alive for all the SEAdLINNNG offence (there was a contingent of Stardom fans in the corner that Nanae called out at the end). Wish all the interpromotional warfare happening right now was coming at a time where those diehards could be vocal

Anyone who hasn't seen it should still watch it anyway! This one still needs two more votes though so please watch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKs8Rsnzn5c MOTYC: UNCHAIN (Jun Kasai & Kenji Fukimoto) vs. E.R.E. (Masashi Takeda & Takayuki Ueki) - FREEDOMS Go Beyond the Limit (2/9) As far as a career move completely revitalising a person as much as Takayuki Ueki moving from BJW to FREEDOMS. He has looked like an absolute demon straight from hell in all his matches since making the jump and this might be a career performance. The finish was hard to watch even in terms of deathmatches and I hope it was gimmicked. Either way his title challenge next month is my most anticipated match for a long time.

forkboy84 posted:Yeah, I've absolutely loved what I've seen from Ueki so far. Looking forward to watching this show. Big Japan seem to really loving blow when it comes to actually pushing new guys, more to the benefit of Freedoms I guess. BJW's booking has suddenly gotten interesting this year (putting over Nakanoue and Tsukamoto on 1/2) and I would not be surprised if it's a direct result of Sakuda and Ueki walking out. Ueki in FREEDOMS is so good that I'm glad how stagnant they were before.
