And to balance things out, here’s some dogshit. Even Ishii can’t overcome the powerful bullshit aura of BC EVIL

MOTYC - Kazuchika Okada vs. Shingo Takagi - 1/4/22 - Wrestle Kingdom Night 1. The best match on a show filled with otherwise ok matches

MOTYC - Hiromu Takahashi vs. El Desperado - 1/4/22 - Wrestle Kingdom Night 1. Great Junior match with a great ending

HM - Dangerous Tekkers vs. CHAOS - 1/4/22 - Wrestle Kingdom Night 1. Great tag match that followed a terrible match.

MOTYC: Hiroshi Tanahashi (C) vs. SANADA for the IWGP US Championship - NJPW Golden Series 2/19

Also known as The Alliance to End Kneeamania, these two did everything they could to gently caress up each other's knees, on top of an already great match. Some absolutely perfect moments of timing here from both guys, selling in EXACTLY the right way at EXACTLY the right time to perfect effect. A nice reminder of what SANADA is capable of in addition to Tanahashi being, of course, The Ace.

Extreme Rules stuff.

MOTYC - Brawling Brutes v. Imperium: This was a blast. Perfect opener. GUNTHER is obviously the star here, but this feud has totally reinvigorated Sheamus and it's awesome to see.

WMOTYC - Karrion Kross v. Drew McIntyre: Karrion Kross is really boring and this match was also really boring. How do you have a really boring strap match?

Nth these two.
