You know what to do at this point. I might update the top post with a running list, but I might get lazy like last year.


1/2 Kenoh Vs Manabu Soya
1/3 Darby Allin Vs Takeshita

1/4 Moxley Vs Finlay Vs Ospreay
1/4 Danielson Vs Okada
1/4 SANADA Vs Naito

Lot of the rest of the show was very good to great but those three are all great and Danielson Vs Okada is going to be untouchable for me probably.

1/10 BXBHulk/DKid/Kzy/Doi/YAMATO Vs Dia/Kikuta/BenK/Minoura/SMachineJ,
1/10 SHINGO Vs Mochizuki

really fun 10 man that caught me in the right mood but obviously Shingo Vs Mochi is the real main event here. These two never miss.

1/27 Nagata Vs Danielson
1/27 HoB Vs FTR/Garcia Cage Match

Really fun Vet technical match where Nagata looks fantastic and Bryan gives him a lot, followed by a really great cage match.

2/11 Tanahashi Vs Okada (very emotional but obviously not one of their best)
2/11 Danielson Vs Sabre (an absolute master class in technical wrestling. So fucking good)
2/11 War Dogs Vs United Empire War Games Cage Match

The War Gaames was great IMO. It was a shorter cage with a lot of room around the ring. I haven't enjoyed the WWE/NXT WG's with plunder and shit but the big difference here was that first off there was BLOOD, and second there was no standing around mugging for the camera endlessly. There was just a lot of gnarly spots with a bunch of interconnected storylines that were paid off. I loved especially Francesco Akira finally standing up to the bullies and overcoming his fear of weapons. It was a great send-off to Ospreay and made everyone in the match come off as a star. Coughlin especially is a beast.

2/4 HENARE Vs Gabe Kidd

this was part of the build to the war games. They do not like each other at all. Just 20 minutes of two dudes beating the piss out of each other with a hot crowd.

1/24 Kenoh Vs Shiozaki

I always enjoy these two. Go takes a couple really bad suplex bumps in this. I know he lives the "I AM NOAH" gimmick but maybe he doesn't have to try that hard to emulate Misawa and Kobashi. Kenoh's moonsault double knee finish is one of the best "how does that not legit injure guys" spots every time.

Desperado Vs Ishimori, 6/9/24 (BOSJ Finals)
Tomohiro Ishii Vs Jeff Cobb, 6/9/24

Ishii is still one of the best when he needs to be. Despy has become one of my favourite juniors.

4/22 Minoru Suzuki Vs Kenoh

@Slayer have you seen this yet?

This was so fucking good. MiSu gets busted open hardway by a chair fairly early and looks like a bloody monster the rest of the match. He works his ass off in this match and doesn't do his standard match that he's been doing the last couple years. Kenoh is vicious right back and the two are perfect opponents for each other.
