Hey I didn’t see the match but I saw the Hiromu thing. It was a bummer. What was the setup for it? Like where was it in the match, what did it lead to, etc? felt like it was obviously ended a bit sooner but basically was towards the endish. still did a bunch more spots after. felt like in the grand scheme is was gonna be where dragon lee started to gain momentum of the match. Yeah, so like I can’t really say since I haven’t seen it but I don’t know, that’s pretty rough just using that as a transitional move. Like if that’s the case, best case scenario is it’s a nearfall that no one really buys, and they do a bunch of stuff after and no one really remembers it. I guess it LPs a little more justified since their whole rivalry is based on just going hard and trying to kill themselves and each other (I haven’t seen all their matches, especially the recent ones so maybe there’s more to it than that, but still. With how smart everyone is now it seems regressive and cheap to base matches on athleticism and gnarly spots. Again though, if I’m missing something let me know cuz I’m kind of coming into this without knowing everything.

Their whole rivalry has been based one oneupsmanship and doing crazy move after crazy move to see who can last the longest/withstand the most. It is somewhat overkill but it also just all builds on each previous match.

Where should I start with PWG? I don't mind backtracking quite a bit

Peak PWG: Jan 2009-Jan 2013. That's a long time ago so I understand not going back, but that's the best.
There are some PWG comps that are good starting places, though. Sells Out Vol. 3, The Many Adventures of El Generico, and The Young Bucks sets are the best ones.
As far as current stuff, honestly I haven't been as into it for the past year or two, although there has been good stuff.

Kurt Russellmania II kinda wasn't a good choice to start I'm assuming because all the "legends" took up a lot of room on the card but I'm watching DDT4 now.

Yeah that show is weird BUT the ending of the legends rumble is straight up INCREDIBLE. Getting there is hard, but that is worth it.

Pretty sure that I read that the move is normally supposed to be in a bridge? Someone suggested that it could be from the crazy schedule that Lee works. I guess he is pretty beat up at the monent. They said he is dealing with some sort of nagging pain to the arm or shoulder(?) and that may have been the reason he accidentally let go.

It is somewhat overkill but it also just all builds on each previous match. Yeah I can see that, and the spot works in that sense. I’ll have to watch it when it’s on world and see for myself. In general I’m a fan of less is more except for special cases, and itsbreally hard to sustain a prolonged feud or style like that, but ill see when it’s posted.

Just watched Dragon Lee vs Hiromu. I don’t know, I didn’t think it was that good but it’s not really the kind of match I like. The spot was unnecessary and like I said earlier, best case scenario dragon hits it and gets a nearfall that nobody buys. I guess that’s where I stand on all the huge crazy spots, I largely think they’re uneccesary risks and I don’t see the point. Wrestlers can do whatever they want/their bodies/they’re adults etc, but ultimately I think it’s a lazy way to get a reaction and I already wrote it but what’s the point?

There’s a Choshu produce show tomorrow that I’m not seeing much buzz about but looks like fun -Fujiwara vs Gota Ihashi -N. Nomura & Aoyagi vs Lee & Iwamoto -Nakajima and Kitamiya vs T. Nomura and Kamitani -Fujinami, Marufuji & Ashino vs Shingo, Koji Doi & Kiyomiya -Choshu, Sekimoto & Yoshitatsu vs Akiyama, Daichi Hashimoto and Jiro
Nakajima and Nomura should be real spicy.

I laughed all through it because of how insane it is
That and it's funny to watch dudes like stab people in the head with scissors and then slap their thighs on fake wrestling moves
