Little programming update:
Since I fell so far behind on wrestling this year, I'm still playing catch-up. Yearly 100 will be out sometime this month, though. Hoping for the next ~14 days.
Anyway, here's the banner. Can't wait for everyone to read it.

Insane stuff. The type of thing that's impossible to forget, even if there are holes in it.
Lunatik Fly vs. Venganza (Zona 23 7.06)
****1/2
Complete and total mess in the best way possible, plus the junkyard going nuts for the Macuarro win is pretty sick

Chihiro Hashimoto & Natsupoi vs. Sareee & Suzu Suzuki (Sareee-ISM 11.10)

Loses at least a quarter star the last couple of minutes, but everything before that felt like some of the best women's wrestling all year
Chihiro Hashimoto vs. Sareee (Sendai Girls 11.16)
***3/4
Eddie Kingston vs. Samoa Joe (AEW 12.10)

****
The bit where they're throwing absolute heaters on the outside is too sick for me to ignore, I'm afraid
Lunatik Extreme vs. Adam Del Castillo (Lucha Memes 5.18)
A generous ***1/2
This caught me at the right time or I'm in a good mood or whatever, but this is the kinda thing where it really makes you wonder why any other promotion lets people try to have matches like this when this is the gold standard.
