HM: Vikingo vs John Superstar - AAA 2/20

this takes a while to get going but climaxes in one of the hottest finishing stretches i've seen in this company. the rain probably scared them off a lot of spots and it's ultimately at the low end of HM for me but they definitely sent the crowd home happy on a very mixed show. vikingo is carrying this company and jomo had a great showing in his first match back

HM: Nodoka Tenma vs Yuki Aino, TJPW Grand Princess 3/19 - this had the classic tag team explodes problem of "we have no singles finishers to tease!!!" but I thought it was really solid. would recommend the Japanese commentary if you're watching later; I like the English commentary on this show overall but they were a bit muddled for this one

the happiest i've ever been to watch such a bad match , a record that will stand at least until AAA's old man tournament starts

to be clear this isnt like a workrate complaint because its, yknow, the clusterfuck, it just was just super poorly laid out and booked and not in the on purpose way

Agreed, it was painfully bad at the start but then it improved out of sight and it basically wrapped up for life my WWE watching experience in a positive way, which I didn't think was possible. If that's how WWE ends forever, I'm good with that.

HM: Jade Cargill vs Anna Jay, Double or Nothing

thought this was a smart little midcard title match, didn't overstay its welcome, anna had a couple great spots and got some big face pops (the double ddt on the baddies!) and both wrestlers got a crowd that had zero reason to give a gently caress about this match super into it even before all the fun debuts and run ins

i probably wouldn't normally hand it an HM but it's my third favorite match so far tonight and i'm annoyed it got a WMOTYC while that fuckin plodding joe/cole match got an HM :mad:

also seconding

it's botchy enough i debated giving it the full MOTYC but i was genuinely on the edge of my seat throughout in a way i haven't gotten from wwe at all this year outside of the stunt matches at mania. absolutely going to be a top 10 WWE match of the year; i know that's grading on a curve but that's still better than a lot of the random-rear end dynamite/rampage matches that have pulled MOTYC noms here lol

this show was weird as hell and mostly underwhelming, but the two major concerns I had going in were "Ishii is just gonna show up for a house show singles match at the last minute" and "the tag title match is so underbuilt it's gonna get zero time and no reaction" and holy gently caress I am glad I was wrong about both of those things
