NOAH Destination 2021 I missed the first half of Harada vs Yoshioka but what I saw was pretty great, I'll try to watch it this weekend and see where it falls between HM and MOTYC for me. HM Masa Funaki vs Kenoh HM Akiyama & Marufuji vs Kaito and Inamura MOTYC Mutoh vs Shiozaki Good match with ten great last minutes, my love for both dudes seals it for me. I don't think Go could really work his preferred style of match here as Mutoh isn't likely going to stand for being chopped a lot and suplexed a dozen times the way Go's last few challengers were. Instead I thought Go worked a style that was more a callback to the Tenryu vs Mutoh matches, which I've still got a lot of affection for. I also expected very little from Mutoh in this - I wouldn't have been surprised if he didn't even take many bumps- instead I came away from this feeling like he sincerely gave this match everything he has left in him. I can think of much higher profile Muta matches from the mid 90s that he put less effort into than this.

TTBF posted:HM: Super Delfin, Chris Brookes, Maki Itoh vs MAO, Keigo Nakamura, Mirai Maiumi, DDT Kawasaki Strong 2/14 Nth, but I want to go on record as saying Maki Itoh walking face first into the ring post is my favorite spot in the world. Neodoomium posted:Best Bros vs Emi/Veny is absolutely a MOTYC vote from me. Holy poo poo. Nth. This match was so good I got a Choco pro tshirt out of it! Basically I really enjoyed it but my spouse just went totally apeshit for it and wanted to buy a bunch of their merchandise afterwards. Didn't have shirts in their size so got one for me instead along with a mug and that chocolate package where you get signed pictures of the people in the matches.

SG Bamboo posted:NOAH Great Voyage in Fukuoka March 14th Nth but want to add from the same show HM Shiozaki, Suzuki, Marufuji & Sugiura vs Nakajima, Soya, Kitamiya & Tadasuke as the nakajima vs Shiozaki stuff along with Kenoh's temper tantrum earlier were the highlight of the entire show for me.

In addition to his in-ring skill, Jay's promo's leading up to the new jay-pan cup and after every match have been extremely high on my list of favorite pro wrestling things in 2021, and the one after this match is no exception too.

GEORGE W BUSHI posted:MOTYC: Keiji Mutoh (c) vs. Masa Kitamiya for the GHC Heavyweight Championship - NOAH The GLORY 2021 (4/29) Nth, Mutoh working this way also made him seem much more explosive when he would get up on his feet to deliver offense.

SG Bamboo posted:CyberFight Festival June 6th 2021 These are all MOTYC for me. Got to see Kenoh no sell a Mazinger Rocket Punch, really want more of 37kamina vs Kaito and Inamura, Yuka and Miyu was a blast, and Akiyama vs Harashima really came together for a terrific ending. Mutoh vs Marufuji I think is my favorite match of Mutoh's NOAH run and one my favorites in recent memory for Marafuji, I liked it in a lot of ways even better than his title challenge against Shiozaki last year. I even loved the post show promos and dance party. Top to bottom this was the best show so far of 2021 for me.

Dominion, June 7th 2021 Sadly something came up and only was able to see the first and last few minutes of Cobb vs Ibushi. HM: Naito, SANADA & BUSHI) vs Dangerous Tekkers & DOUKI Desperado vs Yoh I really enjoyed the tag, especially the ending. Naito and Sanada vs Tekkers is going to be awesome. MOTYC: Shingo Vs Okada Great match and the finish blew my mind. Okada put him over STRONG. This was like when Foley got the belt 23 years or so for the first time, someone who deserved it and by rights should have it but didn't think would ever get it. Difference was that we all knew Foley won a week before the broadcast but in this match right up until that three count I thought for sure Okada was going to kick out and eventually mount a comeback.

SG Bamboo posted:NOAH Muta the WORLD June 27th Nth. I think Kenoh is his best opponent so far in this run. I've enjoyed mutoh's NOAH time so far but it does feel like his opponents are taking it easy on him relative to other people on the roster, either out of respect or concern for his age. While that's not a bad thing, Kenoh seemed to feel the best way to show respect was to kick and stomp him as hard as he would any other opponent. He also didn't try to find a way to fit Muta into a NOAH heavyweight style match like others have, his approach was more Terry Funk than Misawa, especially in his selling. Wonderful match.

Can't wait to hopefully see more of these two teams against each other. I got home literally as Okada vs Cobb ended so didn't get to see the rest. Also while I'm here forgot to Nth this one a few weeks back: MOTYC 07/11 | Naomichi Marufuji (C) vs. Takashi Sugiura for the GHC Heavyweight Championship - NOAH Cross Over 2021 in Sendai For me this was the best NOAH match of 2021 so far.
