Had to go and do something so I lost my place. Made it back for the top four matches.

El Desperado/Douki:

SPOILER: show
I take it Douki got properly hurt. Would be silly to run that as an angle. Great save by Desperado, but it’s a shame that it went that way. I’ve heard Douki had a great reign, so it sucks, but it’s hard to feel *sorry* for someone who does a seated senton off the top rope to a guy resting on the barricade.


Yota/Finlay:

SPOILER: show
Big fan of both these guys. Tsuji comes across as a star. Finlay has got this bravado that makes it seem like he doesn’t give a shit, but it slips in moments when it’s time to show ass. Finlay trying to grab the belt after losing was a nice touch. Finlay actually conjured up some moisture in his eyes too. Great stuff.


I’ll get to the other two matches later. Finlay/Tsuji was my favorite.

Women’s Title:

SPOILER: show
Fun match. We’re a far cry away from AJW, but Mayu Iwatani and AZM did ok here. Mayu was especially impressive. Some classic joshi spots. Wasn’t a classic by any means, but I can imagine if you’re nuts for either woman you’d enjoy it.


TV Title:

SPOILER: show
Actually really loved this match. I hear a lot of bad about the House of Torture gimmick. I get it, but I do see how it comes off like bullshit pantomime to a lot of fans. Jeff Cobb is really impressive. Ryohei Oiwa is one of my guys. He’s fantastic. First time seeing El Phantasmo. The name turns me off. He gives me Logan Paul meets Lexis King vibes. He’s good. Glad he won. Dude beating cancer is worth a feel-good title win.

I say this as someone who doesn’t like Kenny Omega: Check out his match with Gabe Kidd at Wrestle Dynasty. The best Omega match I’ve ever seen. Kidd is great.

I watched Battle in the Valley. Pretty boring show. Gabe went from impressing me to boring the fuck out of me. Easy come, easy go.

Kushida vs. Takeshita was great though. Takeshita is very talented. He even cut a good broken English promo afterward. Kushida more than held up his end. ZSJ vs. Hechicero and El Desperado vs. Taiji Ishimori were fine in execution, but they just didn’t pull me in. Takeshita vs. Kushida goes on my list of “matches you should watch” for 2025.

Jeff Cobb is pretty great too. It seems like he’s got stuff to do if he sticks around, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Triple H poaches him.

So after ruminating over Omega/Kidd for a bit over a week, I think it was pretty overrated (by myself included). I popped on Backlash 2001 and Raven vs. Rhyno from that PPV is basically in-line with what Omega/Kidd was. No springboards, so I guess what makes classic matches are springboards.

Yeah, after thinking about it, Omega/Kidd felt overrated. It had the hype, but it didn’t hit the mark. Raven/Rhyno from Backlash 2001 was actually more solid, no flashy moves, just good storytelling.

I don’t think NJPW is going to make the cut. Still haven’t gotten around to New Beginning. Product just isn’t very good. Goes against Dave Meltzer’s assertion that this is the easiest time to book and you can do almost anything and people will eat it up.

New Japan fucking sucks. I tried watching the Dontaku shows. Boring as shit. It got to the main event of night 1 and they’re doing a garbage spotfest in the main. I turned it off after one clown smashed another over the head with a steel chair. Got no time for that shit in 2025. Reeks of desperation.

Zack Sabre, Jr. is probably my least favorite wrestler on the planet. He is aggressively boring. He’s a collection of these annoying ticks and tropes that come together in this poorly presented package. His limb work never goes anywhere. The neck twist he does is just lame as hell — Giulia should stop doing it in WWE too. His selling is poor. His gear barely fits him. I cannot stand him. Of course he drives down business and of course these fuckers go back to him as a main eventer.

When I checked out Dontaku (I think that was the double night show they did recently), about the only thing that didn’t absolutely suck was the young lion match. I quite enjoyed Murishima vs. Nagai lol. It’s like they have to forget everything they learn when they graduate.

Modern Puro took the worst of the US indy style that made TNALOL sucha meme and fused it with the worst of worked mma and flooded the circuit with guys who look half as tough as Punk.


Sabre is the crown jewel of the farce stylistically. He cant work a hold. He cant sell a shotgun to the face. He looks like he's going to die from malnutrition at any moment. He cant talk. He's a blackhole where charisma goes to die. His psychology is nonexistent. The only thing he has going for him is his ring timing. Not his crowd timing mind you cause i dont think he's aware he's working in front of an audience. But he's where he needs to be in order for the nonsense to continue.

So his memorization is fine too i guess. Congrats.

If i were going to shoot any 2 wrestlers into the sun he'd be my 2nd pick only behind Orange Cassidy and for shockingly similar reasons.

This is perfect. I was comparing OC and ZSJ the other day. They both lack credibility in the same way. ZSJ will just swim through holds while OC will do dives.

When WWF and WCW starting locking talent down in the 90s, I think the days of big name stars going to Japan started to die. Then AJPW died, Inoki went to his dark place, Misawa literally died and puroresu has been left with what they can get. I’m starting to question whether or not they’ve convinced themselves they actually prefer that nonsense though. I think the coverage guys like Meltzer gives them has colored their thinking and they believe this stuff has a chance of catching on.

Puro died with Misawa. Once we lost NOAH the form shriveled and died. The more they court a global audience the more true it is.

You might be right, but I’m not sure it’s their pursuit of a global audience so much as the type of global audience they are seeking.
