Haven't been able to watch wrestling consistently in a while but I had to see two of my favourite guys go at it.

Nth. Incredible match, I loved it, but also, it's somehow disappointing to me? Like of the few matches I've seen this year it's the best for sure, I greatly enjoyed it, I would recommend it to everyone, it had a real big match feel, I would rate it five stars, and also, somehow, I kind of expected it to be better.

The nth still stands though! Just that I hold these two in such high regard that merely "best match of the year so far" feels like they're not doing as good as I feel like they should.

HM: Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada - NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 1/4
Really really loved this but felt cut short to me. This is just my expectations but I was wanting a 40 min-hour Tokyo dome clinic but this brought it down imo as I was just getting really into it and then it was over. I preferred the AEW match. Hopefully they run it again at ALL IN.

I kinda feel the same way about the match (official nom for HM, BTW) - it was great, yes, and I even liked it a little more than the FD contest. But I was really surprised by the finish, it felt like they could've gone another ten minutes no problem. Maybe they're saving something for a rubber match, I dunno.

WMOTYC - Deonna Purazzo v Madison Rayne - AEW Dynamite 2/21

This match was atrocious, slow, cold, and unenjoyable. Also likely contained an injury. The worst in AEW/RoH in as long as I can remember

2nd, that was shockingly bad

I know talent was thin on this episode but Deonna would've easily had a better match with a local jobber

I don't know how Rayne is a a trainer, but this raises a good question - why was Madison Rayne in this match, anyway? They've got countless women on the roster.

last night was supposedly a total mess when it came to talent availability, injuries and travel issues really restricted TK's options (though he should still take his share of the blame for going with the worst choice possible)

Cobb was being as impossibly strong as ever, but Tsuji reminded everybody why people were talking about him being IWGP Champion on his first match back from excursion. drat good match that washed the bad taste of the previous match's House of Torture bullshit clear away.

nth, just short of MOTYC for me

HM: Komander vs. Takeshita

Crowd was totally indifferent to Komander when he made his entrance but he totally turns them around over the course of the match. Well worth watching, especially the back half.

nth, I said as much in the thread but it's been delightful watching Komander develop into a dependable singles guy (and Soup Boy is of course fantastic)

I'll give HMs to Athena vs. Shida and Briscoe vs. Kingston. Dug both, especially the main event. Starkz and Aminata was real good but I really disliked the neck injury angle and Fletcher/Johnson was a good reminder of the old ROH DVD days where a match would be great and hit a perfect ending point... and then go on another 5-10 minutes.

this is where I'm at, nth those two HM noms

also nth the WM nom for Johnny/Dalton, woof

I'm a little surprised at the lack of love for Jay/Rocky (which I'll give an HM btw), I thought it was a really well executed TV match with an exceptional ending sequence
