My Top 5 Takeaways From NJPW And AEW WrestleDynasty.

    Intro.

As this time of year comes around, what used to be the norm, was to look at what NJPW were going to offer us fans, and this year, that feeling has been ignited in me. I could talk about the down turn that the company has seen in recent years, but that's already been well documented, so i'm going to focus on what was in front of me, because this was a beyond solid card.

5 The Womens 4 way Match For The International Cup.

I liked this. In this Match there was some stand out performances, and the Matches within the Match, like Willow Nightingale vs Persephone, and. Mono Wantanabe vs Athena, made for a fascinating insight, however what we got was a reminder that Womens wrestling isn't just vital, it's needed.

4 Ricochet vs Zac Sabre Jnr.

This. Is. A Match of the year contender, as men both gave everything in order, to create a form of magic, that's difficult to muster up, but these two did it effortlessly. I loved this Match.

3 Katsuyouri Shibata vs Hiroshi Tanahashi.

5 Minutes of two men bombastically smacking the taste out of each others bodies. Perfect, just perfect.

2 Shota Umino vs Claudio Castagnoli.

I don't think this Match gets the love it deserves. My god these guys leathered each other.

1 Kenny Omega vs Gabe Kidd.

This. Is. A Match of the decade contender. This. Was a flawless, majestic, contrast in bloodsoaked storytelling. Both men were a study in contrast. This wasn't one man making another man, it was one man taking another man to the next level. Every hit that Kenny dropped, was performed with ease. Kenny hasn't lost his step, and. Gabe was a perfect foil. Both men battered each other, to the point of no return, dodgy table spots, and unprotected chair shots, all added to the romance of the occasion. Omega got the win, after a fantastic series of incredible exchanges. I think this is one of the best Matches I have ever seen. Hiroshi Tanahashi was in tears at the conclusion of this masterpiece. Pure liquid Gold was created in Tokyo last night, because. Kenny by God Omega is back.
