not to throw another opinion into the ring about a match of many opinions that you either loved or hated (at least from all the reactions i saw) and also several days after the fact but

i did enjoy the UE vs BC steel cage match immensely.

def understand if ppl thought it was a little slow or went on too long, but as an enjoyer of slow... idk tv video burn whatever anything, and who often hates when hardcore matches seem to blow through nasty looking spots with no chance for the impact to register, it felt like i could actually breathe in between spots and not get overwhelmed

also very satisfying to see the various stories reach an end, especially around akira, and the 'protect the ones i love' vibe of UE vs how dangerous the war dogs feel was right up my alley. delicious.

besides that danielson vs zsj II was probably the best wrestling match ive ever seen

when they were in that gymnasium two days ago i thought sigh i wish they were in korakuen without looking at the schedule so im happy to see where they are today 😌

these matches got me hyped for that cage match

i had. underestimated how stressful a title defense is when your fav has the belt

this UE vs BC is utter chaos but they all look like theyre having a ton of fun going after each other

id been so out of/annoyed with wrestling that it took me a little bit to get back into it but man. wrestling is good. this was so much fun, im so glad i did put it on even if i wasnt sure whether id like it

love that naito got the belt, that sanada saved his roll call. dont much care for finlay having the belt but that match was great. so much other good shit. despe looked amazing and i can't believe he won!!

BLACK AND RED DESPE?????

narita in that crop top...

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE GETTING SKEWERS IN WEMBLEY

upon deep consideration i think i want jeff cobb to give me a hug or to pick me up and swing me around

good lord i dont think ive seen a new japan match destroy the entire arena as much as this one

bullet club war dogs is fine but i unfortunately like the goofy bullet club nonsense

i was thinking 'where is the blood in this blood & guts match with already four men in it' but here we go, mox is here :)

mox vs orange!!! been a while since a match made me cry

having surprising and non-respectful thoughts about evil and shane specifically

he did it he did it i can't believe he actually did it holy shiit
