Stardom has 1 MOTYC? Wow. I didn't expect Stardom to be underrated

This is a TJPW fan forum, dontcha know

Also interesting that SEAd only has 2 MOTYC, both from Nanae's anniversary show. I assumed the awesome Sead vs Stardom match from February would have made it, but it's only on 5 votes

Can't speak for anybody else, but it's a standalone subscription service for a single promotion, I can't really justify the cost/time on top of New Japan (which has such a huge number of shows per month) plus Wrestle Universe offering several promotions at once. I enjoy Stardom on the few occasions I get to see it but I really hoped when Bushiroad bought them that they'd get merged into New Japan World as a service, though I understand there's something related to television contracts preventing that from happening?

My friend, let me tell you about BiliBili

I'mma do a "For Your Consideration" post after I've done this weeks puro schedule. There's deffo stuff that needs eyes on it. Obviously everything I recommend should get eyes on it but I'll be kind & keep it to 10 or 15 matches that have gone overlooked.

NJPW World Tag Lague/Best of the Super Junior Night 23 December 15th
HM
House of Torture (EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi and Dick Togo) vs CHAOS (YOSHI-HASHI and Hirooki Goto) - WTL Finals
- Is this the best HoT match? It's very possible, because The Lads make everything better

Hiromu Takahashi vs YOH
- First 20 minutes were meh, then there was a loving stupid run in by SHO that went nowhere, then the last 15 minutes were really good. If the entire match was the stuff post spoiler, this could have been MOTYC

2nd. Loved the back half so much, that spoilered bit absolutely sucked and turned what should have been an easy MOTYC into an HM.

Stardom World is super successful on its own now so I really doubt it ever gets merged.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

So, these are the essential ones to check out. Every ****3/4 I gave that isn't in J-Ru's big list of MOTYC. The first 2 are in the Almost list, the rest aren't. I stand by them all as being Good poo poo. Ordered chronologically. These are matches that I really strongly think you should see before filling out any end of year ballot. It's only 8 matches, you can bash through them in an evening.

20/2 Ice Ribbon Tsukasa Fujimoto vs Rina Yamashita
7/3 DG Champion Gate Shun Skywalker vs Kaito Ishida
3/5 AAA on Space Abismo Negro Jr vs Aramis vs El Hijo Del Vikingo vs Latino vs Villano III Jr
9/8 Ice Ribbon 15th Anniversary Rina Yamashita vs Suzu Suzuki
25/9 Stardom 5 Star GP Night 17 Syuri vs Takumi Iroha
18/10 BJW Dainichi Black Company Hell October Series Final Round Takuya Nomura vs Daisuke Sekimoto
13/11 NOAH Demolition Stage In Nagoya Masaaki Mochizuki vs Kenoh
21/11 DDT D-Ou GP Night 7 HARASHIMA vs Yuji Okabayashi

Also got 40+ matches rated at ****1/2 not on J-Ru's big list of MOTYC. Which still means they are loving great. You'd not go wrong watching all of them, but realistically there's only so much time between now and Wrestle Kingdom. So I'll separate out 7 of them to go along to with the previous 8 for a nice round 15 matches you really should watch. I went for stuff from less watched promotions on the whole, so you've a lucha indie, couple of Joshi matches, a death match, UWF style match, a classic BJW Strong Division beef battle, glorious stiff sprint. If somehow 15 matches isn't enough, I can post the other 30+ matches if there's interest because there's some loving great stuff there, but not going to look for all those links & for no one to watch them. So say so if you want more.

23/3 RIOT Arez vs El Hijo del Vikingo
26/5 SEAdLINNNG Arisa Nakajima & Nanae Takahashi vs ASUKA & Makoto
3/6 AJPW Fuminori Abe vs Hikaru Sato
22/7 GLEAT Takuya Nomura vs Yu Iizuka
30/8 Freedoms Violento Jack vs Masashi Takeda
20/9 BJW Yasufumi Nakanoue vs Takuya Nomura This a link to the whole show, skip to 53:00 for the build up for this
25/9 Stardom Momo Watanabe vs Syuri
