HM: DALYS vs KAHO KOBAYASHI CMLL 4/23 Arena Puebla

Kaho is a great plucky babyface, and they do a great job of going by feel here. There's a clunky spot that Dalys improvises off of and just adds to the match. Then Dalys starts bullying Kaho with some of the most brutal looking hair spots you have ever seen. Probably totally safe, but brutal. Great match.

The match of the Champion Carnival so far and my match of the month. Just two big boys throwing bombs at each other. Try to find a way to watch this one..

When Defy's DEFY X show is released, y'all need to check out the Joey Janella vs Ravenous Randy match. It is bonkers.

Now available on Highspots. Starts around 39 minutes in. Sadly the ceiling light that Joey broke with a thrown chair was just above frame and so you don't get to see it.

2nd. I don't know what I expecting when you said brutal hair spots, but those were sufficiently brutal.

Those two smashing each other is never less than fun and does a good job of putting over Henare and his attempts to make his name square going with the nearest tough guy. This match was exactly that and I will 2nd the HM

I also need catch some of the non-New Japan recs like the Ricky Marvin Dr Cerebro Hair vs Hair clash

HM: Jay White vs. David Finlay - NJPW Road to Wrestling Dontaku (4/24)

Finlay and Henare were absolutely made on this show. This was on the verge of an MOTYC for me. Great story playing off their young boy past together, great action. This show is definitely worth a watch. The Okada/Tanahashi interactions were really interesting too.

Nthing the HMs for Ishii/Henare and Finlay/White. Crowd really wanted to see the upsets in both. The crowd heat in turn helped to make the matches pop a little more than they would have otherwise.

Yeah, i'll 3rd this. I think I should've watched a couple of their young lions matches before this but the callbacks I did catch were well done and I enjoyed it a lot. The Henare Ishii match was really good too.

I wish my friends from the Taguchi Japan C-Team won though. :(

The match was really good on its own but the ending while a guy gets his head shaved, looking downtrodden, while the I'm The Best song from Karate Kid really is perfect.

Well worth a watch, I'll add myself to the chorus of honourable mentions.

The second time they did it in the corner I'm like "Ok, it can't be that bad, I know she's grabbing her arms" and still screamed when she threw her.

agreed, I don't watch much WWE anymore but it was really bad and slow, very few memorable moments or even good surprise entrants considering they had 50 spots to fill. Instead they brought out the jobber parade

The first half of the Greatest Royal Rumble warranted the WMOTYC nod but it picked up in the second half and had a great finish. Titus's entrance alone makes it worthwhile
