Marvelous did one with two wrestlers representing both teams last year. (Chigusa Nagayo and Nyla Rose switched teams halfway through the match)

Nth. The platonic ideal of a squash match. Marko was destroyed not because he's bad but because Archer is unstoppable. Only thing it was missing was the rope walk spot, and I think Marko might just be too short for that.

Jerusalem are you refusing to recognise Misawa splitting from AJPW as legitimate, because you've credited AJPW for the Shiozaki/Fujita match? (it was in NOAH)

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
one for the list of matches that only I would recommend

HM: Leo Isaka vs Takahiro Katori, J-STAGE, 18th March

J-Stage, at least as far as I'm aware, is sort of like a super indie type promotion that brings in random names from all over the indie scene to do interesting matches that you perhaps wouldn't get anywhere else and so you'll sometimes get weird combinations - for example, like this being your main event above the Strong Hearts and Masato Tanaka and Dick Dojo and everyone else that worked this show. Leo Isaka is 21; comes out of the Marvelous dojo as the only dude currently officially signed for a Joshi company and this was his first ever singles main event; having not really wrestled a whole lot for broadcast promotions outside Marvelous. Takahiro Katori isn't a guy I'm an expert on; he's 20 and comes from Eagle Pro which I think is an incredibly small promotion that doesn't ever make tape: people from there have popped up on Marvelous shows before to be in the Leo match and he's wrestled in Freedoms before apparently. So this was quite possibly the biggest match for both; two young dudes on the way up who've been given a pretty big spot by main eventing Korakuen (sure, mid-pandemic for a show that drew 400 fans but its still a Korakuen main event).

I might be skewed by the fact that Leo is my boy but I thought that this was a fun match: don't go in expecting a classic but its a very fun match between two young wrestlers. There are some pretty gnarly spots (pretty sure Leo is planted right on his neck at one point) and its slightly rough but I don't think that stuff is harmful to the match: its the sort of sloppiness that makes the match feel more real; if you get me - its not the sort of sloppiness that exposes obvious cooperation but the sort that makes you go OH poo poo.

Also shows that there are some really talented younger wrestlers in Japan that wrestle for small promotions that go entirely under the surface; and I really hope that someone takes a punt on one of these two dudes: both seem to be perfect sort of people to be the pin eater in a Junior tournament somewhere.
