HM: SANADA (C) vs. Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship - NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 1/4

i'm happy i did my yearly njpw check-in but this show really reminded me that this promotion just isn't something i need in my life any more, especially since so many top guys can be seen elsewhere. i'm sure i'll catch some streams of the bigger US shows that i happen to be around for live, but the days of trying to watch the next day on NJPW World (or stay up stupidly late) are over for me

maybe they'll rejuvenate things a bit - enjoyed seeing tsuji and yuya tear it up, that was promising - but unless they drastically overhaul the current factions i cannot imagine it becoming truly interesting again in 2024, and all the little moves they made in the past few days show that that's the last thing on their radar. instead you'll have another decade of two to four different bullet clubs and you'll like it!!

HM: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA vs Naruki Doi, DDT Sweet Dreams 1/28
HM: Yuki Ueno (c) vs Yukio Naya - KO-D Openweight Title, DDT Sweet Dreams 1/28

I'm too picky to nominate anything else but this was a great show that's worth a watch (skipping the Dieno match as usual). My beef with the main was just I thought the finisher was a stupid looking hold and hated that Naya tapped instead of going unconscious, which really just goes to show how bought in that match made me on a guy I'd gone a whole tournament kind of ambivalent on. I truly hope he somehow gets new hair and gear this year though. And learns a facial expression beyond "confusion."

HM Arisu Endo & Suzume vs Zara Zakher & Yuki Aino, TJPW Live in Philly 4/5
HM: Maki Itoh & Miyu Yamashita vs Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi, TJPW Live in Philly 4/5

had a really great time live at DEFY, DDT, GCW/JCW vs the World, and TJPW this weekend. i'm picky so nothing from DEFY made the cut but I loved getting to see original CCK in action - with all of Lykos's injuries I never got the chance pre-covid when I was doing lots of travel for wrestling. plus kenta/gringo logo was like most of the way to a really good match, just kinda hit an inevitable ceiling for a slow-paced main event on a matinee show.

the masha/syuri match deserves to be here for the sheer balls of booking a 30 minute time limit draw at 1 in the loving morning. i was genuinely doing a :sickos: cackle down the home stretch of this match and it had some great sequences in it. jordan oliver vs aigle blanc barely missed the cut, definitely worth watching if you're tracking down vods from the collective

awesome show! ZSJ/Brookes vs Mao/Ueno was a blast, but goddamn, I had to give Hashimoto vs Aoki a MOTY nod because it's absolutely a match I am going to be thinking about for the rest of the year

this whipped rear end, i cannot believe after the longest build in the world this ended up being my favorite match of the tour lol. probably helps that a loud korakuen and actual production will always beat a bunch of single-cam muted-music no-comms house shows, night 10 was super fun in general
