[sycamoretrees]

so over the last few months I have been putting together some curated wrestling selections for best pal @benchwarming (a Japanese-wrestling-curious AEW fan), and I thought I would share them here for anyone else who might be interested, particularly if you want to try NJPW or DDT but aren't sure where to start.

@benchwarming: i really enjoyed these matches even when i didn't know the wrestlers or have much context going in! lots of compelling in-ring dynamics, funny bits, and straightforwardly great wrestling

I've included links for everything (and bolded my particular favourite matches), please hit me up if you have any questions, or if you want any other recommendations! I would love to talk to you about Japanese wrestling!!!

Random ask anon here! Since you enjoyed the last ask: Do you have any DDT match recommendations? 🙂

Honestly I could be here all day! But if you’re looking for silliness and just all around a good time:

Shunma Katsumata & Mao vs Chris Brookes & Drew Parker @ Super Encounter Episode 2

Shinya Aoki vs Shunma Katsumata vs Chris Brookes vs Yukio Naya @ Shiro-No-Yu Rojo Pro Wrestling

The whole episode of Spoiler Free Entertainment Vol. 1 which aired 20.04.24 on WrestleUniverse

Anything that involves Danshoku Dieno.

More serious matches:

Any of the Yuki Ueno/Konosuke Takeshita matches. Wrestle PeterPan 2023 for sure.

Mao vs Daisuke Sasaki @ King of DDT Finals 2024

Tetsuya Endo vs Daisuke Sasaki @ Ultimate Party 2020

Any Chris Brookes vs Konosuke Takeshita match.

Again I could go on forever, and if you don’t already I recommend getting WrestleUniverse if you can and just going through it, because it also has TJPW and NOAH and so much more!
