[blueonwrestling]

Got two obscure matches to talk about

billy ken kid vs. ryuya matsufusa (osaka light heavyweight title) - osaka pro 07/01/24 - 4.25 stars

akino vs mio momono (oz academy openweight title) - oz academy 07/01/24 - 4.25 stars

BKK vs ryuya is actually on youtube

last match here or around 1 hour 27 minutes in.

also in the mio vs akino match theres a spot where mio does the usual victory roll into a double stomp that all joshis do, but then instead of going for the pin she did it 3 time and that legitmately fucking ruled.

I think my 3.5+ star ratings will be for smaller/lesser known/indie promotions this year, and ill only mention 4.75+ star matches when it comes to AEW/TNA.

Yeah, thats the plan, if i dont mention an AEW match but you're curious about how I feel about said match, ask away, please do, because I can talk about wrestling forever.

how long is it gonna take some of y’all to realize that Mio Momono is the best wrestler on the planet

Sareee & Mio Momono vs. Chihiro Hashimoto & Mika Iwata, Sendai Girls, January 7, 2024

This series is focused on Sareee's return to joshi puroresu after the failed time in WWE NXT. However, let's turn our focus briefly to Chihiro Hashimoto. Back in 2016, I had noted after watching Meiko Satomura vs. Chihiro Hashimoto that Hashimoto seemed very raw, which makes sense since she had had only 45 matches and was in her first year in her career at that point. By the time Hashimoto wrestled Sareee in her return match in Sareee-ISM Chapter 1, Hashimoto was an eight year veteran with more than 405 matches under her belt. In the intervening years, Hashimoto had several other Sendai Girls World Championship reigns, won the Sendai Girls Tag Team Championship with Mika Iwata and Yuu, won the KO-D Six Man Tag Team Championship with DASH Chisako and Meiko Satomura, and has developed into one of the most well-regarded wrestlers in Japan. Other than Japan, she's only wrestled in England with Pro Wrestling EVE and Fight Club: PRO, so one could reasonably argue that she's one of the best and most underseen wrestlers in the world.

Back on topic, Sareee headlined Sareee-ISM Chapter I with a singles match against Hashimoto. Between then and now (let's just say now instead of then and now to avoid a whole Space Balls thing here), Sareee teamed with KAIRI to face Arisa Nakajima and Takumi Iroha to reignite Sareee's feud with Nakajima, beat Nakajima for the SEAdLINNNG Beyond the Sea title, and then teamed with Nakajima against Kaoru Ito and Tomoko Watanabe and Hiroyo Matsumoto and Riko Kaiju. She's defended the Beyond the Sea title against Ayame Sasamura too. She's also kept the story with Hashimoto going by teaming with Saori Anou to face Hashimoto and Yuu's Team 200kg. And she's faced Mika Iwata a few times, losing twice and drawing once in tag matches and winning in a singles bout. In the spirit of Sareee turning foes to friends, she also had a time limit draw with Mio Momono six days before teaming with her against Hashimoto and Mika Iwata.

Sareee pushing Momono into the corner because she wanted in no uncertain terms to start the match was the type of killer attitude I love to see in a wrestler. We don't get Hashimoto vs. Sareee immediately, though, since Iwata starts the match for her team. Iwata and Sareee get into one-upmanship right away by blocking each other's attacks and snapping each other to the mat so they can kick each other's back. There is a meanness (because I'm trying to avoid using the word "intensity" again after running into a deficit on my budget of that word) and a snap to Sareee's and Iwata's exchanges, and I am greatly entertained already.

Iwata tags in Hashimoto, but Sareee wants another piece of her, so she ignores her partner to stay in the match. Don't tell me that there's not storytelling in joshi puroresu because I will point you to just the first two minutes of this match; this stuff transcends language barriers. With Hashimoto, we switch to shows of dominance through grappling instead of striking. Hashimoto can knock Sareee down by running through her with a shoulder tackle, but Sareee needs a lot more momentum by running and jumping off the ropes to take Hashimoto down. Having gotten her satisfaction by hitting a dropkick to a seated Hashimoto's face, Sareee finally tags in Momono, who jets from her corner to knock Iwata off the corner and then call in Sareee for the assist (after some struggle against the more powerful Hashimoto) on a double team sequence.

I really liked the Momono countered Hashimoto's lariat with her speed, ducking both arms and forcing Hashimoto to the mat. Sareee is the invader here, since Hashimoto is on her home Sendai Girls turf, but Hashimoto once again powers out of Sareee's offense by doing push-ups and crawling to the ropes while trapped in Sareee's Boston crab. I liked the little touch of Momono sweeping Hashimoto's arms out from under her when she was close; it's just the right level of petty competitiveness that I want to see.

Speaking of being petty and mean, Iwata tags back in after Hashimoto struggles through the pain to hit Sareee with a powerslam. Iwata and Sareee established at the start that she's Sareee's equal in striking and bad attitude, and Iwata backs Sareee into a corner with kicks that crumple Sareee. Momono breaks up Iwata's momentum by cheapshotting her while she ran the ropes, and that gives Sareee a chance to catch her breath and double team Iwata with Momono.

It doesn't do a whole lot for Sareee and Momono, and Sareee has no choice but to attack Iwata's leg to neutralize her kicks. A dragon screw, a stomp, and some kicks later, and we get Momono back in to hit a seated Iwata with a running dropkick to the face. The people who obsess over selling body parts won't love the fact that Iwata doesn't seem too fazed by the attacks on her legs, but I accept that Iwata has really strong legs, so even though Sareee and Momono have targeted them, they're still targeting her strongest part, so it really only just slows her down.

We finally get the last combination of wrestlers as Hashimoto tags in and squashes Momono with a charging splash and a stalling vertical suplex. Momono, like Sareee in her singles match months ago, has no luck launching Hashimoto from the top rope, and Sareee's interference throughout the match finally costs her as Hashimoto gets to dangle Momono in a chokehold from the middle turnbuckle because the referee is focused on keeping Sareee in her corner. Hashimoto crashes on a surprisingly snappy flip from the middle rope, so we're back to even footing for the finishing sequence.

Hashimoto and Momono unload German suplexes on each other, and Momono tags Sareee back in. Unfortunately, Sareee gets caught in an inventive submission setup that showcases Hashimoto's strength, and not even Momono's kicks can get her to release the hold.

We get a dive train train from Momono and Sareee, and then Hashimoto and Sareee get the spotlight. Sareee hits her messy looking headscissors (which I half wish she would stop doing if she can't give it snap), lets go of a pin to stomp Hashimoto, and then hits a splash (maybe? the angle looks like it was intended to be a splash, but it ends up looking like a dropkick to Hashimoto's ribs). Sareee gets ahead of herself with a backdrop driver and some forearms to Hashimoto's chest, but Hashimoto equalizes the field with some wild swinging forearms to Sareee's head. Sareee tries a headbutt to set up her arm capture back driver, but Hashimoto is once again able to surprise her with the German suplex to win the match.

There are things to nitpick (Sareee's headscissors, Sareee's spinning kick), but there's too much good in this match for me to grade it harshly. I really enjoyed the atmosphere at the start and just how nasty everyone feels in this match. It's paced well and gives Iwata and Momono chances to shine (Iwata more than Momono to me) before giving us Hashimoto vs. Sareee. It's another easy recommendation.

The match is available on Sendai Girls' YouTube page.

PRO WRESTLING RATINGS 2023 (4 of 6)

29 professional wrestling matches out of 190 watched throughout July & August were rated 4 stars and higher.

AEW, unsurprisingly, had the most high-rated matches in this period with 8!

My favourite match of this block, and very likely to make my MOTY list, was Athena vs Willow Nightingale from Ring Of Honor's Death Before Dishonor! An exceptional match with loving tributes to pioneers of independent women's wrestling throughout the 2010's. I gave it 4.5 stars out of 5.

Here are 3 essential matches that I positively recommend you watch:

Eddie Kingston vs Tomohiro Ishii (G1 Climax 33 - Night 8, July 26th) Out of the 12-ish G1 Climax matches i've watched, none were as fun as these two trading Knife Edge Chops for a good 15 minutes.

Leon Slater vs Liam Slater (NCL.37 / Thunderstruck, July 30th) This was a suggestion from my friends Salem, Sarah and Gwen, who frequent North Wrestling a lot. It was my first time seeing Slater and Slater, and both men are fantastic at their respective styles.

Mayumi Ozaki vs Mio Momono (Marvelous Wrestling, August 7th) Possibly an unpopular choice, but this match was absolutely vicious! Mio Momono spends most of the time getting whipped with a metal chain! It is possibly the most emotionally taxing match i've seen all year and that includes all the bad ones.

The WRESTLER OF THE BLOCK is... Darby Allin!! He appears on this block three times, as did CM Punk* and Jon Moxley, but i felt like giving Darby the spotlight here as his work ethic has improved exponentially since his program with The Four Pillars of AEW (himself, MJF, Jungle Boy and Sammy Guevara) which i felt really undermined his worth as a wrestler at the expense of giving MJF another boastful talking point in his promos. But that's another discussion. Darby is fantastic in the ring and the lack of caution he shows is something that i can definitely get behind.

*CM Punk is actually on the block 4 times but i forgot how to count.

And finally, now that i've gotten to the latter stages of 2023 , i'm pleased to reveal that my current total matches watched is.....

719

For context , on my spreadsheet for 2022, i finished with just over 800 matches. I've come so much closer to my goal of 1000 matches in a single year!!!

See you again on Halloween!

Mio Momono won the Marvelous singles title at the 7th anniversary. She's a 7 year veteran now.

[blizzardsuplex]

I don't know too much about women's wrestling at large but these are who/what I've enjoyed.

Talents:

Miu Watanabe (Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling, various AmeriWres indies) -> Powerhouse; in addition, the TJPW house style is pretty back to basics, so there isn't going to be an abundance of fancy #movez or super high-impact spots generally. Upside is that they get to focus on the core/foundation of a wrestling match which means they're always solid af. -> Current main singles champ of TJPW -> gimmick is very cutesy and bright pink but can and will turn up the intensity -> Match recs: vs Miyu Yamashita @ TJPW Princess Cup 2022, vs Ryo Mizunami @ TJPW Summer Sun Princess 2022, vs Miyu Yamashita @ TJPW Grand Princess 2024, vs KiLynn King @ Spark Joshi's Rising Heat East (dark horse pick)

Maria (Marvelous That's Women's Pro Wrestling, joshi indie circuit, various AmeriWres indies) -> Technical -> Currently 1/2 of the Marvelous tag champs with Riko Kawahata (as Magenta) -> she's a very cool and a bit cheeky + dances to the ring as Magenta LOL. Also gets beat up a LOT since she's only in her early-mid 20s and is therefore a baby LOL -> Match recs: vs Mio Momono and Rin Kadokura @ Marvelous 08.01.2023 (as Magenta), vs Chikayo Nagashima and Takumi Iroha (as Magenta), vs Mio Momono @ West Coast Pro/PWR Queen of the Indies 2023 (dark horse pick)

VENY/ASUKA (joshi indie circuit) -> all-rounder because she's just Good. -> IDK if she's champ anywhere but she's always a threat in that regard -> gimmick is being a sexy asshole but people love her because her charisma is just off the charts. Also has great gear! -> match recs: vs Hikaru Shida @ Pro Wrestling WAVE's WAVE PHASE2 Reboot 4th ~ NAMI 1, vs Mika Iwata @ Sendai Girls 14.04.2024, vs Mio Momono and Yurika Oka (as a team with Yura Suzuki) @ Sendai Girls 17.03.2024 (dark horse pick)

Matches:

Jarochita vs Reyna Isis @ CMLL 89 Aniversario -> mask vs mask. Not a lot of English prowres people pay attention to lucha frankly and fewer to their womens' division, so this match being as good as it is kind of came out of nowhere--but who cares it is very good.

Combat Toyoda vs Megumi Kudo @ FMW's Fighting Creation '96 - Tag 11: 7th Anniversary Show -> exploding barbed wire death match. My favorite deathmatch of all time TBH - and I mean deathmatch in the older-style sense where the focus of the match was on building up anticipation for using the weapons or going into exploding barbed wire rather than expecting its usage. Also it's Combat Toyoda's retirement match at 26 because of joshi norms at the time so they go pretty hard.

Kyoko Inoue & Takako Inoue vs Mayumi Ozaki & Cuty Suzuki @ AJW's All Star Dreamslam ~25th Anniversary~ -> this is just an amazing tag match. Kyoko giant swings Cuty Suzuki for almost 40 rotations. Do I need to say more?

BONUS: my friends recced this Aja Kong vs KAORU match for me to recc as well. I haven't watched it myself but Aja is a legitimate GOAT, so.

Hi, I haven’t really been versed in women’s wrestling much growing up and I really would like to get into it more. Reblog/comment with your suggested women’s matches/talent you think I should watch or go back and watch, please. 🥰
