MOTYC: FTR (C) vs. Bullet Club Gold (White & Robinson) in a 2-out-of-3 Falls match for the AEW Tag Titles - AEW Collision 7/15

Last week they had a MOTYC to set up this match. This week they elevated so far beyond that match it's unbelievable. The crowd was white-hot, both teams were incredible in the ring, the nearfalls were works of art, the pacing was perfect, and the time just sailed by and the match NEVER felt like it was spinning its wheels or making up time. Also the Riccaboni/McGuinness commentary pairing was excellent and Nigel losing his loving mind at how good the match was ruled.

HM: Kazuchika Okada vs. Taichi - NJPW G1 Climax Night 5 7/21

Okada has been fantastic all tournament and just continues to shine, plus Taichi is always great when he decides to bring it in G1.

HM: SANADA vs. Yota Tsuji - NJPW G1 Climax Night 5 7/21

The chemistry these two have together makes me think we're going to see a lot more of the two of them, and I'm happy about that!

Nth these.

Wonderful match, great chemistry between these two and YOSHI-HASHI made me believe for a moment.

HM: SANADA vs. Kaito Kiyomiya - NJPW G1 Climax Night 7 7/25
This was really, really, really good with an absolutely incredible ending. Would have been a MOTYC if Kaito had won it. But holy gently caress the timing was impeccable.

The way these two use their bodies in wrestling is always incredible, but none moreso when they're doing it against each other. Just insane, inhuman poo poo in entirely different ways for both of them.
