forkboy84 posted:MOTYC Tsukka rules, Suzu Suzuki is incredible at her age, just an extremely well worked match between two great talents. I didn't realise that nuts gifs of the wheelbarrow rollup was 25 minutes into the match while they were both exhausted, makes it even more impressive now. This probabably would have rocketed to the top of my MOTYC list, second only to Tana/Shingo, if not for IceAgeComing posted:MOTYC: Nanae Takahashi & Arisa Nakajima vs Momo Watanabe & Saya Iida, SEAdLINNNG Shibkiba Night, 10th February I loving loved this, this is my platonic idea of a wrestling match. No idea who the Stardom girls were, but had high hopes considering Nanae is great and I think Arisa is the best women's wrestler around. Felt heated the whole way through, they brutalised poor Iida in the lead up to the hot tag and I didn't notice anyone out of place after tag broke down at the end. Can't say enough nice things about this, this is my favourite women's match so far this year and it'll take stiff competition (or a return of full crowds) to knock this one off. e: Forgot to say it because I was just so excited about these matches, but these are both nths SG Bamboo fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Feb 12, 2021 |

Pro Wrestling NOAH Destination 2021 ~ Back to Budokan ~ MOTYC Daisuke Harada vs Seiki Yoshioka - Harada's been great for over a decade at this point and Seiki was in form i've not seen since that random FT match against the Kongoh heavyweights last year. Awesome, they packed a ton into 11 minutes. Kenoh vs Masakatsu Funaki - loving love Masa Funaki, another old dude who loves violence and can put in absolute effort when the occasion calls for it. Kenoh is Kenoh, much love for the kickboy and the style he's been working the last couple of months. Grapplefucking brilliance and some hard as gently caress strikes These are the two shortest matches i've ever nominated for MOTYC, each coming in around a minute shorter than Asuka/Akito. Cyberfight know how to get the most out of shorter matches. HM Old Men (Jun Akiyama & Naomichi Marufuji) vs Young Studs (Kaito Kiyomiya & Yoshiki Inamura) - Real cool and good match, everyone looked great. Jun Akiyama is an absolute monster, even more hyped for his match with Endo on Sunday Go Shiozaki vs Keiji Mutoh - Go is a goddamn miracle worker but this one was just a little beyond his powers. Maybe it's his numerous injuries piling up or maybe it's because Mutoh is 58 years old with busted knees going back two decades. It was still very enjoyable, Mutoh knows how to get the most out of his limited abilities and Go is the best in the world, but it's definitely in the bottom half of Go's defences Please take some time off to heal now Go Watch the back half of the show, it was great forkboy84 posted:If NOAH was on too early for you or while you were at work & you, for some perverse reason don't have a Wrestle Universe sub, you can watch the 5 big matches for free on Abema!

This list would probably get real long for the whole event as it's been great so far, so posting during the intermission. DDT Kawasaki Strong February 14th HM Sanshiro takagi, Danshuko Dieno, Toru Owashi and Makoto Oishi vs Shinya Aoki, Super Sasadango Machine, Antonio Honda and Kazuhi Hirata - No words do it justice, has to be seen to be believed GO GO GO GO Saki Akai and Maya Yukihi vs Saori Anou and Miyako Matsumoto - Just a real solid Joshi showcase Chris Brookes, Maki-Itoh and Super Delpfin vs Keigo Nakamura, Mirai Maiumi and MAO - 2021 definitely needed a Michinoku Pro tribute match. Shame the site broke during the match forcing us to seek...less legal ways to watch the thing we paid for HARASHIMA and Yuji Okabayashi vs Yukio Naya and Kazusada Higuchi -Beefy boys doing beefy things

DDT Kawasaki Strong February 14th MOTYC Yuki Ueno vs Yukio Sakaguchi - loving Brutal. Yukio is a killer and Yuki Ueno gave him back everything he could HM Damnation (Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao, Mad Paulie and Yuji Hino) vs All Out (Akito, Konosuke Takesita, Shunma Katsumata and Yuki Iino) -Apparently Beef quota hadn't been reached yet. Whole lot of insane spots including a two-man deadlift german from Hino, cool and good all around Tetsuya Endo vs Jun Akiyama - OLD MAN JUN. Sloppy in places which stops me giving it MOTY consideration, but still a lot to love here

DDT This is our 9th Narimasu Party February 20th MOTYC HARASHIMA and Eruption (Kazusada Higuchi and Yukio Sakaguchi) vs Sauna Club (Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno and MAO) - Just a bunch of extremely talented wrestlers having an awesome match. It's matches like this that make me really like these six, just going out on a random show and making magic. A smidge below the Sakaguchi/Ueno match from last week, but still well worth the time to check out.

TJPW Winter ~ Lovers ~ February 21st Max Heart Tag Tournament Round 2 HM NEO Biishiki-gun (Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel) vs BeeStar (Suzume and Mirai Maiumi) - Super fun, everyone was real good in this, but MSM was the most entertaining part of it for me. She's real good four months past her debut, Sakisama is a great teacher. Not discounting the other side either, Suzume gave one of her best performances this year, and Mirai is a beast as always. 121000000 fka Pop Team Epic (Maki Itoh and Miyu Yamashita) vs Daydream (Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi - A couple of cool and tough ladies wearing pink and their less cool partners. A bunch of real good combos and team reversals, Maki and Miyu are developing well as a team and Daydream are great as always.

SG Bamboo posted:DDT This is our 9th Narimasu Party February 20th Signal boosting this because I think it's an awesome match and not a ton of people watch the smaller DDT shows. No idea how to link to a particular time on Bilibili, so the whole event is here with the match starting at 1:07:30. It's stuff like this that makes me love DDT. They didn't have to go so hard for this, it was a six man tag in front of 125 people setting up the show in Nagoya next week, but they worked their asses off for those fans.

DDT Friendship, Hard Work, Victory in Nagoya February 23rd MOTYC Eruption(c) (Kazusada Higuchi and Yukio Sakaguchi) vs Sauna Club (Konosuke Takeshita and MAO) - God drat Eruption are so loving cool. Even before the bell the match started off right, with Saki coming out to support her partners and the whole Sauna Club coming out together (even though Yuki and Shunma had a kickass match of their own less than an hour earlier). This match completely delivered, and I had some real high expectations considering I nominated the setup match to this a MOTYC. Higuchi is a beast and Yukio is a killer, while MAO and Takeshita are two supremely talented young men who matched them every step of the way. Hard hitting and exhausting (including a crazy looking Stungun/V-Trigger to MAO), this has made me real keen for the upcoming Akiyama/Higuchi rematch. loving awesome, this is right up there with the Eruption/Nautilus match that was my MOTY last year. HM NEO Itoh Respect Army (Maki Itoh and Chris Brookes) vs Antonia Honda and Saki Akai - Three great wrestlers (and Antonio Honda who hits all his regular beats) having a fun little match. Maki joined in on Gon's story time, Chris is tsundere for Saki, Honda got stretchered out and left Saki in a handicap situation. This match had it all. Sauna Club (Yuki Ueno and Shunma Katsumata vs Damnation (Daisuke Sasaki and Tetsuya Endo) - I'm beginning to have the sneaking suspicion that these four guys are real good. I sometimes forget just how smooth as gently caress Endo is, definitely the best Tetsuya in wrestling

DDT Into the Fight February 28th MOTYC Shunma Katsumata vs MAO - Kids' Room Deathmatch - Sauna Club explodes! I love these two crazy fucks, and I love that Shunma acts like such a brat when he's the oldest member. A couple of times I found myself watching in amazement, just hoping neither guy got really badly hurt by the stupid poo poo they were doing (they were lucky neither got impaled by either the wooden block table exploding or the plastic storage box fragments). Shunma took a couple of headshots that were hopefully way louder than they were hard, but otherwise I enjoyed everything they did in this match. HM Damnation (Tetsuya Endo, Takao Soma and Yuji Hino) vs All Out (Konosuke Takeshita, Akito and Yuki Iino) Chris Brookes and Eruption (Yukio Sakaguchi and Kazusada Higuchi) vs Junretsu (Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi and Hideki Okatani) - DDT continues their streak of having boss multi-mans in the undercard because their depth of talent is so deep

GEORGE W BUSHI posted:MOTYC: New Wind (Arisa Nakajima, Nanae Takahashi & Riko Kawahata) vs. Las Fresas de Egoistas (Asuka & Makoto) & Tsukushi Haruka - SEAdLINNNG New Leaf (2/26) I'll second this, although i'm not as high on it as you are. Suppose it speaks to the quality of wrestling in 2021 that I don't have a thought of putting this in my top five and it's behind Arisa/Nanae vs Iida/Momo in terms of SEAd matches i've seen this year. Obviously Arisa and Asuka are great, but the few things i've seen of her has opened my eyes to how much I slept on Nanae Takahashi last year in the handful of shows I watched. I always just glazed over her as another member of MAX VOLTAGE with Ryo Mizunami being the one that drew my interest, but she's been killing it in the matches posted here this year, especially looking at just how long her career has been.

Awesome match, although marred by an unnecessarily sick headbutt in the closing moments. HM Kenoh vs Kendo Kashin - Weaker than Kenoh's last couple of defences, but still quite a bit better than I was expecting from Kashin Go Shiozaki, Kaito Kiyomiya and Yoshiki Inamura vs M's Alliance (Keiji Mutoh, Naomichi Marufuji and Masato Tanaka) - For gently caress's sake Go take a loving break and heal up, let Kiyomiya hold up the company for a bit.

Henare/Jay was the best of the night but all three had some cool moments. probably the best Chase match I've seen since he moved up to heavyweight and my favourite Yujiro match since the G1 with Switchblade. I'm certain i'm overrating these because I like most of the guys involved (and don't particularly dislike Finlay or Henare) but screw it, I'm used to nominating things that don't make the end of year list.
