WMOTYC
27th January
All Japan New Year Giant Series Night 4
Three Current Blast Bats Death Match
Atsushi Onita, Great Kojika & Raijin Yaguchi vs Mr Pogo, Onryo & Takumi Sakurai
Watch this here, if you dare

Ho boy. It's yer granda & his mates with some fireworks & baseball bats. Onita, 66. Kojika, 81 (this guy is so old that he actually debuted while Rikidozan was still alive). Yaguchi, 61. Pogo, 54 (not the original Mr Pogo, this is BJW's former Shadow WX). Onryo, age unknown but he debuted in 1995 after impressing doing university pro wrestling so we can probably conservatively estimate 50, possibly older. Takumi Sakurai, at 34 the baby of the match. Average age, about 57. Which honestly feels low for how this match went. I mean, it's impressive The Great Kojika can still get in the ring without dislocating his hip or something, but boy does he have the lightest strikes you've ever seen. Play wrestling with your small child you'd hit them with chops like this.

The explosions were impressive, they always are, Onita knows how to make big bangs. Unfortunately everything else was hellish to watch. And to add insult to injury, it's a long segment, included setup & cleanup time. The previous match ended about 1 hour 20 into the video. The next match starts at 2 hours 10. Now, they go into an intermission as part of the cleanup & I'm sure were selling merch & photos etc but good lord. Just went on & on & on & I had to turn it off, I was no longer in the mood to watch wrestling.

2nd this. This is some real sicko hours bad wrestling.

Could have been a MOTYC but they sacrificed stepping into the next gear on the final stretch for some angle shenanigans, which was fine.
