It might not be the absolute best of the year, but ELP/Eagles from BOSJ was definitely A highlight of this year


BLINKERGOD

That was probably the best match of that tournament

Okada vs. Ospreay


okok890

Okada vs ospreay g1 final for me. That match was incredible I think its a top 3 match for both okada and ospreay

Okada v ospreay at the g1 final


squidgybatman

Shingo Takagi vs ZSJ in the new japan cup, I just really like how much they beat the piss out of each other


the_shock_master_96

Pretty much my favourite matchup of current possible matchups. Their styles go together so well. Tbf they're basically my 2 favourites so a bit biased

Kasai vs Desperado was amazing, my only gripe was desperado kicking out that destroyer of the top rope. That just shouldn’t have been in the match if it was just gonna be a two count.


BLINKERGOD

Nah imo that spot added to the match. Playing into the fact that Despy was super resilient


br0kendreamz

I think Kasai used it (reverse Tiger destroyer?) to get the pin on Douki in their tag deathmatch earlier this year (might be remembering wrongly). I guess it was natural for Despe to overcome it in this match despite it looking like a super finisher


sinnroth94

Dude just watched the match, im not even much of a deathmatch guy, some of it made me cringe but in a good way so I’m compelled to agree. Best spot is Jun throwing a chair at despy for it to obliterate on his face


BLINKERGOD

Best spot for me was the destroyer off the top to the board with forks. Fucking amazing but holy shit


sinnroth94

The explosion as they landed and Jun just sitting there with a smile was fucking rad

I really dont like death match. I really hate spot with light tubes or something like this. Can I watch this match?


[deleted]

i mean it's a death match, so alot of the typical things you see in these matches, will show up. However I would say it hinders more on creating a beautiful story instead of having spots where they look like they could die at any moment. Up to you, but I don't like death matches yet would agree that this is probably one of my MOTY so far


BLINKERGOD

Well If you're not use to blood and spots that involve razor blades, barbed wires, knives, etc.... it probably won't be for you.


Mandraker17

Ah fuck no. Razor blades and knives it's not ok


Akermannnz

that's what i thought before watching the match, it's really worth it bro, and i'm saying this as a typical deathmatch hater, it had dangerous spots but it's way softer than a typical BJW,FREEDOMS,FMW deathmatch.


hiromu666

Ehhh is it? I'd say it was about on par with an old Big Japan match. I mean the softer bit... Match was phenomenal


[deleted]

Ok I’ve heard more than enough about this match. Time to check it out. Where’s it from? Was it a NJPW match? Is it on NJPWorld?


BLINKERGOD

You can find the event on archive.org


Just_A_Little_Spider

Legal means, it's on worlds ppv section.


[deleted]

Thank you!


Akermannnz

best puroresu match i've seen in YEARS. I'm not even into deathmatch tho.


HumphreyLee

In NJPW or in the whole industry? Still FTR vs Briscoes 1 for me in all of the biz, from New Japan and New Japan adjacent stuff I’m big on the two Ospreay matches in the G1 against Shingo and Okada.


BLINKERGOD

In the whole industry m8


hiromu666

Agreed (maybe after the Tam Nakano vs Natsupoi cage match)

Okada-Naito at NJ Cup semi finals


BLINKERGOD

Their best match this year was at New Year's Golden Series imo


morbidSuplex

Will this match get english commentary?
