A great match. Not necessarily one that's going to blow you away in terms of twists and turns but one that will blow you away in terms of execution. If you can find guys who do a faster counter spot into a GTS, I'd love to see it.

Miu could have stopped developing after the match with Yamashita in 2022 and still would have become PoP champion. She was already over with her strength and her personality. But instead she lived in the dojo and developed sick looking mat work.

Yeah, and that was what made the whole 'Rock is ruining WWE booking' thing so irritating to me. Triple H takes credit for every single signing, every angle, every twist and turn. But suddenly when the booking goes wrong it's not his fault? Come on.

There are a couple of spots per match where he tries to be Naito and he's just not built for that intricate stuff. The crowd likes it when he strikes and shows power.

It's a shame that the middle portion of the Kidd/Tsuji feud was cold while the beginning and end were good. I still think Tsuji is only 95% certain of who he is, despite being by far the most successful of the post-2020 pushes.

Wrestling, and especially puro, could really do with a couple of insanely stiff, lunatic jocks like him right now.

The lows are worse than wrestling but the highs are amazing.

And what a match it was too. I hope Stardom continues to underestimate just how many tickets Saya can move.

This is sort of like the equivalent of AEW streaming Page Vs. Fletcher on YouTube. It's The Present versus The Very Near Future. World title vs Undercard title.

It is and it's why I, to an extent, defend the crazy long PPV runtimes, even though I don't necessarily love them myself. It's a way of delivering both quality and quantity, in an era when quantity is a thing consumers have been conditioned to expect.

She won't win it but she should be a strong WON Wrestler of the Year contender

Didn't notice until you pointed it out, my brain filled in the 'makes'.
