Trying to see all the good pro wrestling matches is a fool's errand unless you do it as your job like Meltzer. And even Dave can't watch it all. Don't feel too bad about it

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?

There was one time when I realized you were Finnish and I asked if you go to the FCF events! Since you never answerd I figured you either didn't care or like then, or lived too far away to go to the shows lol

People expect more from AEW. A stupid loving garbage booking decision souring a match that people were looking forward to seeing and that should've been excellent being considered a WMOTYC is perfectly reasonable, especially since such a match was wasted on furthering a storyline everyone hates. I'm sure parts of the infamous Fiend HIAC match were at the very least passable pro wrestling technically too, but it was the insane booking that made it into the debacle it became.

Absolutely, but the point is, it's often the booking that makes a match bad, not the technical side of it.

Oh hell yeah! That match ruled so hard. It's very sad they don't show the entrances (yes, the light tube also got an entrance). Probably music rights? Anyway watch it watch it watch it watch it if you didn't see it already

BTF posted:Who cares about New Japan when you can watch some rasslin goodness live~ I don't really agree with either of these. Thought Aalto and Adder had the MOTN, but it's not like it was the best match from either guy. Valentine vs Shemeikka was nowhere near as good as it should have been, probably because it was apparently only there to set up the angle. Felt to me like the match was going nowhere. Expected much more from them. The visual of Karhula, dressed in all black, suddenly appearing from the shadows to attack Shemeikka while he had the sharpshooter on was a good one, though. I dunno, to me this was a weak-ish show from FCF. Almost no one felt like they were on their A game, except for Kert Kukk and, rather mysteriously, Petrov, who is normally never on any kind of game. Still an entertaining show and a good time was had in the second row a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Feb 2, 2020 |

Thanks for the comments y’all. I’d also like to ask how long the NJPW card was, and how long the singles matches went overall. Trying to figure out how much I’m able to catch at the airport - start at the beginning or just check out the important stuff. I also haven’t watched the second half of this week’s Dynamite

To elaborate - this isn’t the first time someone votes a match to be both MOTYC and WMOTYC. As an example, Final Deletion got some of those votes (I might’ve done it myself, can’t remember) if I recall correctly. And it’s pretty reasonable in my opinion, because that match is simultaneously many things 1) Utterly ridiculous fun 2) Self-indulgent garbage 3) Bursting with creativity 4) Incredibly sloppily worked Which combine to make it really good, really bad or even both at the same time, depending on how you want to think about it / what your idea of pro wrestling is.

HM: Viktor Tykki vs The San, 2/29 FCF Myrskyvaroitus I didn’t have massively high expectations because The San has never really wowed me in the ring that much, but Viktor Tykki is just an incredibly solid pro wrestler who’s apparently able to have a fantastic match with anyone. Dude could be a big deal anywhere in the world... and I hope he is a few years down the line.

BTF posted:2nding this. Tykki is a star. Yeah, not their best show at all. Good spot to get some of the newer/less utilized wrestlers some experience, but especially the first few matches were well on their way to ”pretty bad”. What on earth are they doing with Mieto? Is this weird comedy stuff what he learned from Shibata at the NJPW LA Dojo? And yeah, that might actually have been the best McMetal match I’ve seen. He had his working boots on. I just generally don’t like the guy (doesn’t help that he’s apparently a big time rear end in a top hat in real life) but he can be a pretty effective heel when they let him. Pekko is incredibly good for how young/green he is, though. Dude was running rings around a guy who’s been wrestling for most of the time Pekko has existed as a human being
