From Wrestlekingdom night 1

MOTYC
Okada vs Ospreay

HM
Naito vs Ibushi

In a world where the former match didn't happen, the latter would be an easy MOTYC. Heck, in a world where Naito and Ibushi didn't declare war on their own heads and necks it would've too. But watching that Okada/Ospreay match and realizing that this is the first in a series wherein Ospreay finally wins the championship from Okaka, after escalating over encounters, probably in a similar way to the Omega/Okada series, I am so loving excited right now. I was screaming and clapping and having such a good time with that Okada/Ospreay match, and that was knowing the result in advance as well. Absolutely incredible and probably the match to beat for the rest of the year.

MOTYC

Jeff Cobb vs Shingo Takagi
Jay White vs Kota Ibushi

HM
Taiji Ishimori vs Hiromu Takahashi

Nthing these. I thought the main event was a little too long (specifically the first act) and more than anything else it would've benefited from the crowd noise.

That said, hearing Shingo and Cobb beat the poo poo out of each other and have it echo all throughout the dome like that was loving awesome and BEEF BOYS #1!

HM for Ibushi/Cobb - I'd give sell of the year to Ibushi for one of the spots.

MOTYC for Okada/Takagi - holy loving poo poo that was great. Like the lowest from Dave is going to be 5 stars, and that's probably being too stingy. I'm struggling for words for how great this was.

Both from NJPW Dominion June 7th 2021

MATCH OF THE loving YEAR: Tomohiro Ishii vs Shingo Takagi G1 Climax 31 18.09

Turns out that Tomohiro Ishii is the best wrestler in the world. Incidentally it turns out that Shingo Takagi is also the best wrestler in the world.

I stood up and applauded after it ended. It was just me in the room watching too. Absolutely insane. I think this might be my new favorite match of the year. I lack the ability to verbalize just how loving awesome this match was. For Wrestlekingdom they just need to show this match for the 3 nights on loop and nothing else and it will be perfect.

THE AMERICAN DRAGON IS BACK AND HE'S STILL THE BEST AND SO IS KENNY OMEGA AND HOLY gently caress THE CROWD AND THAT ENDING :derp:

Nthing this. This was the best pro wrestling match I have ever seen live. The previous onewas Okada vs White at MSG and that was 4.75 stars. This was WAY better. I was so happy at the end that I could be there live to see such a wonderful match. Absolutely incredible. Still debating if it was better than Shingo and Ishii. What a week!

Agreed. The thing I loved the most were the clear call outs to ZSJ and Ishii. And we get to see both of those matches in the future and it's gonna be great.

Holy poo poo this was INSANE, and they gave it away from free on a Youtube pre-show! It was everything I hoped it would be, just glorious. Thank God for Bryan Danielson, big ups to Satan for Minoru Suzuki.

Another unneeded nth, can't wait to see rematches down the road.

Nthed. I bought the PPV based off of this match and it was completely awesome. All the other matches were anywhere from good to great, but this was exceptional. Easily my best match of the night.
