I definitely think both shows are worth watching though, tons of fantastic wrestling.

I'll second these. Saw the raw footage for Alive and Kicking and if there are two Beyond shows to check out, I'd get these.

I'm gonna skip over that and instead back up the nomination for Cena/Rollins, TLC for WMOTYC.

At least the main event was "just" a crazy-go-nuts match with a horrible ending.

Agreed. A good finish easily makes that 4+ stars for me. lovely finish ruined it, and banana peel to close a ppv makes it worse.

reminded me of like a Jumbo/Fuchi vs. Misawa/Kawada tag (in style, not quality). if this match was called by JR there'd be a "WITH AUTHORITY!" after like everything Akiyama did, he is just amazing at the execution of moves. probably one of the most under the radar WOTY candidates. i like Miyahara so much it makes me wish AJPW would go under already so he doesn't have to spend any more of his career in such a dead end promotion.

quoting since this got lost in the shuffle with nxt and tlc. if you like japanese wrestling i would be surprised if you didnt rate this pretty highly.

maybe not as good as i hoped from these two (a little awkwardness in between the nice matwork in the first two falls reminding you that DL2 is still a rookie), but still really good. incredible 3rd fall. given the reactions he elicits from the typically apathetic Arena México crowds DL2 seems like he should be a future superstar but it's CMLL so who knows if he ever gets the chance.

BIG OVER
College Slice
HM - Jimmy KAGETORA vs Yuga Hayashi - DG 12/6

Pardon the video quality/really whacked out aspect ratio.

You have Jimmy KAGETORA, who is traditionally one of the best workers in Dragon Gate even if he rarely gets beyond Twin/Triangle Gate level. You have Yuga Hayashi, the newest kid from the Dragon Gate dojo and the strongest Rookie of the Year Candidate. This follows the typical established roster member vs young boy match trope, but Yuga gives it to KAGETORA and takes him to the brink. The crowd in Sapporo gets hot at the end and Dragon Gate has another potential star in Hayashi. I think it's the best Rookie match in a while.
