gently caress it:

MOTYC: Kazuki Hirata (C) vs. Yukio Sakaguchi for the DDT Extreme Title - DDT Saki Akai 10th Anniversary Tour in Korakuen 8/13

Sakaguchi is a terrifying man, Hirata is a weirdo. Hirata set match conditions where any ropebreak or failed pin attempt lead to either a ghost or balloon - two things Sakaguchi is terrified of - being added to the match. This lead to some incredibly delightful scenes, including Sakaguchi second-guessing making pinfall attempts for fear of a kickout and a ghost showing up. This is about as far from Naito/Okada as you can get but it's a MOTYC nonetheless.

WMOTYC - Tommy Dreamer vs Kenny King (c) for the Impact Digital Media Championship, and also Tommy Dreamer will retire if he loses - Impact Victory Road 9/8

how the gently caress do you have a tommy dreamer faced with retirement angle and have... that match. zero hardcore spots. zero brawling. a bunch of lovely terry funk tributes which i guess is the one thing i was expecting from tommy dreamer, a dude who spent half a decade wearing polka dots for no reason. and then a heath slater run-in while kenny king was distracted to SAVE TOMMY DREAMER, THE FACE???

New Japan's resident "weirdo" gets a lesson in just how loving weird wrestling can get. A wonderful time.

MOTYC: Chris Brookes (C) vs. Yuki Ueno for the KO-D Openweight Title - DDT Ultimate Party 11/12
Holy poo poo. This was the last match of a 5 hour long show and it still managed to work the crowd (and me) into a frenzy. Amazing stuff.

Katsuhiko Nakajima (c) vs Kento Miyahara - Triple Crown
- gently caress the hell yes. The crowd was far more behind Kento than their NOAH match which was more 50/50 which was great to hear. Dragged a little bit in the middle but once Nakajima started laying in the kicks to a seated Kento it reached the quality I was expecting from these two
