Keiji Mutoh in 2001 for sure. In the late 90's it was a forgone conclusion that Mutoh best days were behind him. With him balding and his knees being bad many wondered if he could produce like he did in the past. Then he comes back to New Japan (and debuts in All Japan) freshly shaved with a brand new maneuver in the Shining Wizard putting out some of the best performances that year with the likes of Nagata, Tenryu, Kojima, Kawada, and countless others.

Daichi can be hit or miss, well this is one of the times he hit it out of the park. He has benefited from the opponents in his block and it showed here with T-Hawk. Great urgency was shown from T- Hawk going on the attack working on Hashimoto's left leg viciously and just chopping the hell out of him every chance he got. Daichi did a good job working underneath and also having good comebacks. The finishing sequence was hot with both men throwing every bomb they possibly can until Daichi picked up the win with a brutal ddt. This was one of the best matches in the tournament so far and I hope Hashimoto can put out more performances like this.

Liv is improving nicely.

This was not a wrestling match it was an experience, one that I enjoyed very much. From the start with both men testing each others mental toughness with the now infamous 30 minute stare down then turning things into an all out brawl kept me intrigued. Fujita awesome in his shooter role doing his best to hurt and maim Go. For his part Shiozaki just gave his body in order to make Fujita look like the biggest badass walking the earth. He was also great using those lariats and chops at the right moments in his comebacks. I appreciate how they presented things different and the effort by both with the commitment to see everything through. I know some dislikes this but I'm putting this in my notebook for sure.

While I do enjoy the Otis/Mandy program the Sonya text reveal should've been the perfect way of including the lesbian storyline they was so desperately trying to go for instead of the hot garbage that was Lana/ Liv Morgan. It would've made perfect sense and kept Dolph off tv for a good bit.

I've been down on Balor's heel run so far because it's been a bore and have been waiting for something that he can sink his teeth into and now he's found it in Gargano. This is the best Balor has looked in a good while and his opponent played a huge part in it with Johnny Takeover himself. Balor being aggressive and impactful with everything he did on Gargano made me feel that he finally found his groove in this heel role. Gargano was his brilliant self as usual giving a fast paced exciting performance. What also made me love this was him toning down the melodrama.

I'm always amazed when these two go at it tapping into their PWG roots and this banger was no different, while it's not on the level of their previous encounters this still ruled. They had a excellent flow of mixing bomb throwing and outstanding feats of athleticism that the crowd ate up. Both men also had the chance to shine showcasing of Lee's strength and giving Dijakovic big spots like the spiral tap and the somersault to Lee in the chair in defeat. Good edition to their series.

This was a crazy fast paced non stop action packed match and I lived every minute of it. Both teams showed amazing chemistry being fluid and crisp in everything they did like their double team moves. I must say Fenix is on another level with his high flying, so graceful and effortless. The closing sequence of the match was one of the best I've seen in a while and Page/Omega are giving the BroserWeights a run for their money for Tag Team Of The Year. Easily one of the best matches in Dynamite's short history.

This was a awesome spectacle that achieved two of its major goals: get more heat on the Cody/MJF fued and hide the limitations of Wardlow. This match is also a great example of why Cody has become one of the best big match performers today. He does what he knows best and what he grew up watching, old school territory storytelling that bring great emotion reactions from the crowds. While limited Wardlow held up his part by looking menacing and displaying good power moves, it also did hurt that Cody bled like crazy and having him kick out of the crossrhodes to get him over. The finish was fantastic with Cody tapping into his inner Kurt Angle with the moonsalut off the cage, again a awesome spectacle.

An excellent match between Sabre's technical wizardry against Ospreay athletic prowess that played heavily from their match from The New Beginning tours. Ospreay tried his damndest to not get caught in any submissions especially the modified triangle choke that put him away the first time. Sabre was just his brilliant self as usual trying to stretch Ospreay any way he can. Everything they hit was smoothly landed escalating into one of the greatest finishing sequences I've seen. This is a banger and for certain this is a MOTYC.

A well done sprint with the classic story of the young upstart against the wily veteran being told. Yokosuka was great in his role of trying to ground the high flyer by focusing on his left leg and throwing some bombs in the process. Francesco had great facials and comeback spots working underneath showing the heart he had by not going down easily but he did go down with a brutal looking lariat. This match conveyed that Akria Francesco is on his way but this day wasn't his to win.

It sucked that things fell apart for Mayu to have her match with Sareee but they found a great replacement in Takumi Iroha. This was an excellent affair with Iroha working on Iwatani's arm and shoulder. Everything Iroha did was crisp, clean, and stiff. Mayu was tremendous working underneath with her selling and showing great urgency in trying to get the win quickly as possible. The closing stretch was a thing of beauty of Takumi throwing every bomb she could and Mayu with a great comeback not staying down until she couldn't take anymore. Iroha coming out the victor was the right choice as it'll set up another match for Mayu's red belt, a MOTYC for sure.

It's Ishii, it's Takagi you know what's going to happen here. This was an intense stiff brutal tough man battle to see which would be the last one standing that draws you in with every blow. Ishii has entered hof worker status delivering every single time for the past seven years. Takagi on the other hand is probably in the makings of having a midas touch year on the same vein of his 2015 title run in Dragon Gate.

An intense battle with Kagetsu trying to finally best her trainer/mentor. She comes out in her old attire during her Sendai Girls tenure signaling that she wanted to go straight for her final match. This went back and forth with Satomura throwing on point brutal kicks in efforts to slow down her former pupil. As Satomura continued to gain steam Kagetsu had no choice but to spray her with that mist. The finishing stretch was amazing with each women kicking out of the other's finisher multiple times then finally it ends with Satomura hitting Scorpion Rising to put away her former student. Highly recommended watch to all and what a way to end your career for Kagetsu.

A great strong style battle with both men going all out. It started off going back and forth until Tanaka made his focus on Takeshita's right leg. This was vicious limb work escalating in Tanaka using the Sliding D with Takeshita's leg tied to the ropes, excellent spot. I know some had issues with the comeback with Takeshita not selling the leg enough but I'll chalk that up to the old classic line of "he's running on adrenaline". The finish was something with Tanaka hitting a Sliding D out of nowhere for the win, it's currently my move of the year. It's amazing that after all these years and all the punishment he has taken over the years Masato Tanaka at 47 is not only having a great 2020 but is still putting out quality performances. Konosuke Takeshita came out with the loss looking tough standing toe to toe with a respected puro veteran giving his all and battling back. Please find a way to watch this.

Asuka is by far the best performer in the company.

Damn good promo by Owens.

Did Russo wrote taker's promo? that was hot garbage.

This was something, everything that was stated previously during interviews we already knew but hearing it from the perspectives from Sandra and especially David left me emotionally drained after watching.

80s - Ric Flair Vs. Ricky Steamboat (04/02/89) 90s - Bret Hart Vs. Steve Austin (03/23/97) 00s - Kenta Kobashi Vs. Mitsuharu Misawa (03/01/03) 10s - Kazuchika Okada Vs. Katsuyori Shibata (04/09/17)

My god imagine the ads.

I lol'd when they cut to the empty crowd after Austin asked for a hell yeah, still a weird show.

I never get tired of watching Brock dance to MVP's theme.

First I hope everyone and their families here are safe and second who was watching 95 WCW in the back? It's time to cut the comedy and with Becky and giving her that truck ain't helping.

Oh God yes. I get the feeling that most of the roster is just happy to be there content with making money. Say what you want about guys like Hogan, he knew when to draw the line and flex his muscle.
