Been writing slower than I’d like on account of the move, but still managed to get this one about a joshi classic done before the U-Haul arrives.

Andos asked me to draw the thumbnail for this project, and I tried to capture to aura of the dueling chants and the tension between Joe and Kobashi. I really like how this one turned out. But you should absolutely go out of your way to watch his new video! Lots of hard work went into it!

Might just have missed it on the timeline but I haven't seen much talk about this one yet despite being the main attraction. Obviously fails the impossible task of topping the first, but between eye selling and wild chair shots, still rocks.

Looking at the math on my spreadsheet, and while (spoiler) I don't see him getting it because of the weaker parts of his year, Jon Moxley is once again making an honest to god run for WOTY. The decade of Mox keeps on rolling.

This was the first TNA match I ever saw (on Comcast On Demand FOR FREE (a few months on delay lmao)) and this was wild bc 1) it was my gateway to ROH and 2) I was tired of WWE even by then so seeing something like this blew my mind lol

absolutely adore this match, absolutely adore this writeup. i LOVED the point made about the brawl at the end, how you may not even notice that the shield is getting taken apart til you look around & realise that there's only 1 of them left. that seth is dead & dean isn't coming back.

Adam Priest vs. Jesse Funaki was very fun, Funaki slots in capably into a pretty straightforward Priest formula showcase. Good stuff and a nice showing for the rookie El Hijo de Funaki as well.

DPW Beast Coast was an incredibly strong show of the year contender for me, and if I'm being honest there's a good chance that DPW's only competing with themselves in that category as far as my list goes. Back-to-back with the shockingly high output Showdown at Cary show too.

The bullshit keeps stacking and one hopes the downfall of Priest will be equal to the hell he's putting the roster through. Lee and Priest here felt straight out of Memphis with their numbers games and ringpost attacks. Great wounded big man Something performance here too.

"Can they co-exist" is an exhausted trope, but the Kozone/Tankman/Lo dynamic makes it work because the matches also happen to kick a whole ton of ass on top of being smartly worked to suit the angle.
