A MiSu match where he's forced to do something other than the tired "let's trade shots while I smile" actually seems interesting. Point me to a link?

Not too bad. Greatly appreciate that MiSu put forth some actual effort for the first time in who fucking knows how long.
Kiyomiya/Umino/Ueno Vs Takeshita/Skywalker/Uemura, 5/6/24
Sekimoto/Ishii Vs Cobb/Kitamiya, 5/6/24
the 6 man is the rare interpromotional multiman where everyone gets a chance to really shine and there's some story as Takeshita/Skywalker are scumbags and the other team are all babyfaces.
Other match is a pure hoss fest and I'm all about it. Cobb doing a double backsuplex to Sekimoto/Ishii at one point is PURE POWER.

6/15 Lee Johnson vs. Kyle Fletcher
Should air on this coming week's ROH on Honor Club. Two out of Three Falls for the ROH TV Title, best thing on the entire ROH/Collision taping last night

Tomohiro Ishii Vs Masa Kiyamiya, 5/22/24
Yuma Anzai Vs Kento Miyahara, 5/29/24
Ishii and Kiyamiya has been one of the best feuds of of the last few years. Kiyamiya keeps inching closer to finally taking getting the big W but Ishii is going to make him EARN that shit.
Kento comes in after winning the Champion Carnival and looking to reclaim HIS title. Anzai may be the Champ but it feels like he's the one with everything to prove. Big Match Kento is always special and Anzai more than delivers.

Fucking hell yes. 4.5* from me. I bought every false finish because they established Bryan's neck as a target early on, and Bryan switching it up to focus on Shingo's arm to block his offense made it so fucking great.
Not the best match between the two (they had one in DGUSA back in 2006/2007 that's phenomenal), but probably the best match I've seen from AEW* since Cody/Dustin.
*Keeping my personal biases in mind and what I want out of a pro wrestling match, of course
7/3 Ishii Vs YOSHIHASHI
This was to decide which of them gets into the G1 and they beat the shit out of each other. Since one of them isn't making it they turn this into a full out G1 match.

some weak selling at the end but this was still a good match that didn't really drag a lot which given how long it went says a lot.

This was a great show. @Slayer was HYO always this roided and I just didn't notice? Because he looked JUICED. the mixed team pairing in the 8 man made for a fun match. LOVED the father vs son match. Baby Mochi is going to be so good.

Lot of really good stuff here. Naito has been kind of a mess this tourny but Sabre got something good out of him. Take/Cobb is just 10 minutes of Go Go Go. Gabe is a fucking Punk and Shota has no time for it whatsoever. Finlay is a power worker now and it oddly works.

7/27 Mortos Vs Hologram
this was like a wcw cruiser match with a ton of crazy high end spots and the crowd actually being really into Hologram.

2 matches that blew off their feuds perfectly, one match that delivered all of the surprises (NIGEL) you want in a gimmick match, and finally a GOAT match with real emotion.

I generally don't like Poison Ranas but these two guys make the move look devastating.
