After a good night’s sleep I’ve processed the match more and have come to the conclusion that as baller as EVIL’s new music is and as hilarious as the ending was, it didn’t justify an ungodly boring 40-minute match where the first interesting thing happened 10 mins in, the second 20 mins in and then the whole thing just drove off a cliff in a clown car for the last five or so minutes. Trash. Only saving graces were Hiromu, Milano, and the table spot. Even the DICK TOGO reveal came after the match. WMOTYC: Tetsuya Naito vs. EVIL, NJPW Dominion, 12/07

Cerebral Bore posted:Also if a match is so unambiguously dogshit as to deserve a WMOTY you shouldn't have to sleep on the issue to come to that conclusion. Some really weird stuff going on ITT. Why not? Are you not allowed to process a piece of media you saw any further than in the immediate moments after it happened? I personally found the match pretty boring and funny in a stupid way when it was happening, but not awful. Afterwards when I thought about it, its result and its possible ramifications more, I started to really dislike everything about it. People have certain expectations of the main event of NJPW’s second-most important show. To some, those expectations were not met, and because it was a very unusual match coming from NJPW, they needed time to think if those expectations were met or not, or if it was weird enough to make those expectations irrelevant. This is nothing new. It happens when you consume media. I’m sure you’ve seen/heard/read something you wasn’t sure you what you thought about it and then only later came to the conclusion that you disliked or liked it a lot more than what your initial reaction was. People are also capable of changing their opinions on things later down the line, sounds crazy but it’s true a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Jul 13, 2020 |

What are some other recommended KENOH matches, I need to see more kicks that feel like my skin is peeling off

Thank you very much my dude.

Both from Gatoh Move ChocoProLIVE! #40 8/13/2020 HM: Yuna Mizumori vs Asuka And, ah, gently caress it MOTYC: Emi ”OC” Sakura vs Hanako Nakamori Emi Sakura might be Mom, The Wrestler, she might have the worst music in pro wrestling and her promotion might be the smallest and silliest out there. All of that might sometimes make you forget that she is also an incredibly good wrestler with unique and even hard-hitting offense. That was on full display here. As much of a full-blown war as it gets in the small and weird confines of Ichigaya Chocolate Square. I’d never seen Nakamori before but she also ruled. Awesome kicks.

HM: The Queen Mother Emi Sakura vs Sayaka Obihiro, ChocoProLIVE!#41 Emi Sakura’s 25th Anniversary Show, 8/17/2020 I enjoyed the match a lot but felt the Nakamori match was slightly better. Still a fantastic time. Here’s to 25 more years of Queen Emi! Loved the show as a whole but didn’t really feel anything else got to THAT level. Maybe Mei vs Yuu which was sick as hell.? I might second something if someone else HMs another match from the show. I’m really really tired and have trouble concentrating on or thinking about things

This most definitely won’t be for everyone so I’ll just HM but in a just world it is actually the match of the century with two of the premier comedy wrestlers in the world HM: Antonio Honda vs Lulu Pencil, ChocoPro #43 (8/28) Certainly one of the most uniquely absurd matches I’ve ever seen. A large part of it consists of what could charitably be described as singing and dancing duels plus some truly evil comedy heel moves from Honda. Incredible, couldn’t stop laughing all the way through.

A friend put it well: Expectations for A block are high so it’s easier for them to underdeliver (see: apparently Ishii vs Ospreay, haven’t been able to watch it myself yet) while B block is expected to be less exciting so it’s easier for them to impress (see: Juice vs Y-H)

I post in this thread kind of randomly even though I do keep up with it. In the case of NJPW, I’ll often nominate matches from the start of a tournament only to stop a few shows in, usually because a lot of other people are already watching those shows and nominating the same matches I would, so I just feel like it’s kind of pointless on my end. Bigger NJPW shows in general I might not nominate because of the same reason. Then, occasionally you get the random Road To shows where something cool happens and there’s a real possibility of a lot of people not checking it out because it’s just a Road To show. Like for instance the one from Friday. That trios match was  and all NJPW fans owe it to themselves to watch it. Amazing work from YOSHI-HASHI and DOUKI, Goto felt more fired up than during the G1, you get some sweet, sweet Taichi vs Ishii action, ZSJ does his thing... I really hope this is the kind of match they’ll be doing and the kind of position they’ll be giving the trios belts from now on. It’s honestly what they should’ve been doing with them all along, but I guess you gotta start somewhere.MOTYC: Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii, and YOSHI-HASHI (C) vs. Suzuki-gun (Taichi, Zack Sabre Jr., and DOUKI) for the NEVER Openweight Trios Championship - NJPW Road to POWER STRUGGLE 10/23

Brookes and Yunamon are just crazy enough to make you believe they’re actually doing or going to do something truly heinous, and Lulu is the perfect babyface victim for them with her indomitable spirit and pathetic stick figure physique.
