HM - Ishimori/Phantasmo vs Roppongi 3K. WK14 Fun little twist on the typical BC highjinks. The BC team are fantastic even if R3K do little for me. MotYC - ZSJ vs Sanada. WK14 I love Sabre so seeing him and Sanada do some technical bullshit was fantastic. HM - Moxley vs Robinson. WK14 Probably too much "referee's discretion" going on here for what I thought was a normal match. HM - KENTA vs Goto. WK14 lol Goto, match would have been better if Ishii was in it. MotYC - Jericho vs Tanahashi. WK14 "my dad is a heel wrestler" vs "my dad drank too much boxed wine again". Some terrible looking punches from Tanahashi but otherwise a solid match. MotYC - Okada vs Naito. WK14 Oh god my loving knee hurts just watching. The correct person won. An incredible event as always.

I'm still holding off on watching WK Day 2 because of the technical issues earlier and not wanting to get invested right before I should go to bed. HOWEVER, if you aren't familiar with Naoki Sano outside of this weekend, I'd strongly suggest you watch his and Liger's WON Match of the Year from January 31, 1990. I gave it ****3/4, which is what I gave Ospreay-Okada from New Japan Cup, Suzuki-Barnett from Bloodsport, Barbaro-Mistoc from CMLL, and Jake Lee-Miyahara from All Japan's Royal Road, amongst others. You can check it out on New Japan World at https://njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00089_2_1.

Don't feel too bad about it Big Dave can't watch enough because his job requires him to sit through all of WWE's mind numbing bullshit. Cutting that out helps

MOTYC: AXIZ (Go Shiozaki & Katsuhiko Nakajima) (c) vs. Naomichi Marufuji & Masaaki Mochizuki for the GHC Tag Team Championship - NOAH Reboot (1/5) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a-MMgyyQY0 Pretty sure that NOAH are doing tag team wrestling better than anyone out there right now. Note: this match happened after the Go Shiozaki vs. Kaito Kiyomiya match for the GHC title on 1/4 so if you're trying to avoid spoilers for that, don't watch this.

OK friends, Wrestle Kingdom is done. There is no wrestling until Friday so take this chance to watch one of the matches of the year so far, Kento Miyahara vs Jake Lee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XUM1bqZjfo If you need an intro, okay. Kento Miyahara is the Triple Crown Champion. He won it in October 2018 & this is his 8th defence. He's the ace of All Japan, he's charismatic and an amazing wrestler and he can be a cocky prick sometimes but the fans love him. He's also just 30 years old & in his 4th reign with that belt. Jake Lee is the same age & initially debuted for AJPW in 2011, but he got hurt & ended up going into MMA after just 10 matches. He returned in 2015 so he's not as experienced as you'd expect. As time has gone on a lot of hope was placed on the shoulders of Lee as the future, and he can be an extremely good wrestler but a major thing holding him back is his fire, or rather his lack of it. But in 2019 they faced in the Champion Carnival finals, 1 night after Lee had to win a block match with Joe Doering & then a block decider with Naoya Nomura. Kento won but it was a breakout moment for Lee, just getting to the finals and then going 27+ minutes with the Best of the Best. After that they rematched in the finals of the Royal Road (AJPW's New Japan Cup equivalent) in early autumn, this time Lee got the win but it was flat. Lee just went back to lacking the necessary fire to be convincing. But he won so he got a title shot in October, this was almost as good as the Carnival, Lee held up his end and it felt like a fight. So why is Lee facing Kento again? Well the real reason is despite undercards getting more fun, the Junior Division looking healthier than a while, the top of the card is thin. But the kayfabe reason is that on the final night of the Real World Tag League Lee & Nomura beat Miyahara & Yuma Aoyagi with Lee pinning Miyahara. It was a great match & one of the best tag matches I've seen outside of NOAH or Dragon Gate in 2019. Of course they then lost the finals to Violent Giants which is a big loving "WHY?" but that's not so important. Lee pinned the champ and gets rewarded with a title shot at the 2nd AJPW show of the year.

Not going to bother with throwing more HMs and MOTYCs to WK matches, so I'm just going to nominate Finnish matches no one will see. FCF Jatkosota, January 5th HM: Shemeikka vs Jami Aalto HM: Stark Adder(c) vs Vili Raato vs Jessica Love - Frank Andersson Nordic Wrestling Championship Both were short and sweet but packed with action. Aalto/Shemeikka was extremely fun cruiserweight match. The three way barely got any time (six bloody minutes, com on) but filled those minutes with intensity. Love is just murder and I'm hoping she stays around for most of the year,

FCF sometimes does have some issues with matches being given way too little time. I guess the Ioni vs Vallu match was nothing special, then?
