6/16/2023 - MARVELOUS Shin-Kiba 1st RING

Mio Momono vs. Riko Kawahata

[yungcrybby-anonymousbosch666]

mio momono really is the best in the whole damn world

[rikatatsumi]

[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

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!

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. 🥰

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