@NUFC_monkey’s favorite matches of New Japan’s G1 Climax 26
While I would definitely urge everyone to watch all of the matches listed below, I have not ranked them in order that I most enjoyed them. That said there will be some that won’t appear but are on other people’s lists. Unlike what many seem to think all art is not subjective.

What Did I Do in 2015? I Watched A Lot of Professional Wrestling
It’s March so why am I doing my 2015 Matches of the year a full three months into 2016? Well I guess you could say I needed time to think.

Open letter from a frustrated pro wrestling fan
As I have aged I generally try to stay away from over-simplifications, especially when it comes to people. I have tried to keep an open mind, always remembering that each person has their own personal demons to battle.

Top Five Wrestlers In The World: October Edition
Zack Sabre Jr. – How good is he? He is so good, that after i’ve gone down the rabbit hole watching a number of his matches in a row, I’m just not satisfied by any other matches for several days after. I legit have to watch something mind-blowingly amazing so that it shocks me out of my ZSJ trance. Something like a Misawa v. Vader … Continue reading Top Five Wrestlers In The World: October Edition
