HM 2nd January All Japan New Year Giant Series Night 1 PWF Junior Heavyweight Title Atsuki Aoyagi(c) vs Hikaru Sato Real good match on a show that had some good stuff but also some Voodoo Murders. But this was definitely worth watching. Match starts around 1:19 into the video forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Jan 4, 2023 |

MOTYC 3rd January All Japan New Year Giant Series Night 2 Naoya Nomura vs Ryuki Honda This was just a terrific short match, as good as a sub-8 minute match gets. Watch the match here WMOTYC 3rd January All Japan New Year Giant Series Night 2 All Asia Tag Team Titles Masao Inoue & Takao Omori(c) vs Kendo Kashin & NOSAWA Rongai Oh, the wild swings of All Japan. Don't watch this here HM 3rd January All Japan New Year Giant Series Night 2 Atsuki Aoyagi, Shuji Ishikawa & Yuma Aoyagi vs Suzukigun 2.0 (Hokuto Omori, Minoru Suzuki & Naruki Doi) They at no point said Suzukigun but they are a faction seemingly and I can't think of a cooler name than Suzukigun. Watch this here MOTYC 3rd January All Japan New Year Giant Series Night 2 Triple Crown Title Kento Miyahara(c) vs Takuya Nomura A Kento match but with Nomura bringing that bit of piss & vinegar that forces Kento to wrestle snugger himself, laying in those blackout knees. I'm firmly in "love the Kento formula" territory, & this elevated it. Nomura is such a great no-nonsense wrestler. Absolutely watch this here, it rules forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Jan 5, 2023 |

HM 8th January Pro Wrestling NOAH New Sunrise 2023 Scramble Shuffle Tournament 1st Round Hi69 & Naomichi Marufuji vs Katsuhiko Nakajima & Seiki Yoshioka The gimmick of this tournament is that every team is one Kongo member teaming with one other roster member, which is fun & results in some unusual collisions. Obviously this was the standout of the 1st round, helping by how over with the crowd Hi69 was! The other match worth a watch is the main event, Jake Lee vs Yoshiki Imamura, with Inamura as firey as ever. How the gently caress NOAH don't see what they have in him I don't know.

MOTYC 1st January ZERO1 Happy New Year Fuminori Abe vs Satsuki Nagao Watch this here Dear NJPW World, Fite, IWTV, Wrestle Universe, anyone really, get the rights to ZERO1 for your service for the love of Allah. It's a good year if I get to see 6 shows a year, but their young talent is real good, like Ryo Hoshino, Satsuki Nagao & Shoki Kitamura. This was just a great straight forward stiff match. God drat Abe rules. HM 1st January ZERO1 Happy New Year Shoki Kitamura vs Takuya Sugawara Watch this here Sugawara actually appeared a bit motivated, which is a pleasant change. Kitamura is growing very Otani-like, which is good. Sugawara gets great heat from avoiding the facewash spot, and focuses his attack on the left leg, which pays off. Love the spot where Kitamura floats over on a suplex counter only to corpse as he lands because of his knee. The only real knock is that I'm not sure Sugawara really did enough to warrant that level of hosed up leg but hey. Kitamura really brings a compelling level of heart & spirit to his performances. So happy he's showing up in NOAH sometimes. MOTYC 1st January ZERO1 Happy New Year ZERO1 World Heavyweight Title Masato Tanaka (c) vs Masa Kitamiya Watch this here I'm writing up a post for J-ru's Fave Wrestlers 2023 thread & after showing some restraint I've got it down to 25. One of those is Masato Tanaka, who turns 50 next month & celebrates 30 years since his debut in July, so this is a big year for him. I say all that to point out how loving ridiculous it is that Masato Tanaka can still go like this. He's been a top tier wrestler since about '98, he's taken so many insane bumps & chair shots & I wonder how he's still walking, never mind wrestling like a man 20 years younger. It's inspirational. None of that has anything to do with the match though, I just wanted to rhapsodise about an under-appreciated great. The match is great though, obviously, Kitamiya more than holds his end up, there's a great finishing stretch. ZERO1 is cool forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Jan 12, 2023 |

For some reason the Sakuda skewer bit doesn't normally bother me but this time he used large safety pins & it really got at me HM 9th January Prominence Kurenai No Rinka Watch this here Akane Fujita vs Kohaku vs Miyuki Takase vs Risa Sera vs Yuki Miyazaki So this is a very silly match. Following on from a recent WAVE match where Risa Sera smashed people's luggage, this was a match where everyone came out with their suitcase & the loser is the one who had their suitcase broken first. HM 15th January All Japan New Year Giant Series Night 4 Hikaru Sato vs Hokuto Omori HM 15th January All Japan New Year Giant Series Night 4 Atsuki Aoyagi, Naoya Nomura & Yuma Aoyagi vs Kento Miyahara, Kotaro Suzuki & Rising HAYATO AJPW 6 man's with the 4 former members of NEXTREAM plus friends are always so loving good.
