Ramblings About’s Matches of the Month for September 2026

It’s been a tough month. Credit: AEW

September felt like a long month in the world of wrestling. As always, there were a shitload of shows, with some great performances on them. However, we’ve also lost two people far before their time. I can’t sit here and claim to be experts on either Butcher or PAC’s wrestling careers, and there are better people to dive deep on them than me, but they’re both wrestlers I have some sort of connection to. On top of that, they were, by all accounts, decent human beings. It’s hard not to be sad when we lose good ones.

Elsewhere, it was another impressive month for Mio Momono, Emi Sakura put on a masterclass and Reina Takano continues to impress. Enjoy!

Ramblings About’s Matches of the Month for August 2026

It’s slightly late again (sorry, life is busy), but here are my matches of the month for August. We’ve got rookies convincing you of the impossible, a hybrid wrestling-and-judo fight and another banger of a main event from Big Hash. That’s before we even talk about two lads taking swings at each other in a basement. It was a good month, but if that’s not enough for you, I also did a recap of the Princess Cup last week (hence none of the matches appearing here), so you can always read that afterwards.

TJPW Princess Cup Round-Up

Better late than never, I have decided to ramble about my favourite matches from this year’s Princess Cup (the final will be covered in my review of the Korakuen at some point in the next few days). I know some people have had issues with the booking, but I thought, from an in-ring perspective, it was a very good tournament. There were some matches I didn’t get into here that were also really good (mainly because that was all I had to say about them), and I don’t think there was anything that left me feeling like I wasted my time. Anyway, on with the rambles.

Marvelous (8/8/26) Review

Marvelous didn’t sit back and enjoy the success of their May Yokohama Buntai show for long. Before the crowd had even left the room, they’d already turned their attention towards Korakuen, declaring ambition goal to sell it out. Unfortunately, that didn’t quite happen, but it was damn close. I don’t have the stats to hand, and they tend not to release attendance statistics, but I’d be surprised if this wasn’t one of their highest-selling Korakuens. The room was busy, so let’s ramble about how the wrestling went.

Ramblings About’s Matches of the Month for July 2026

While I didn’t go to quite as much wrestling in July as I had the previous few months, I still made my way to a fair few shows and had some bits and pieces I fancied writing about. We’ve got old men being bastards, exciting rookies and ChocoPro giving Miya Yotsuba a huge win. If all of that sounds of interest to you, read on!

TJPW Summer Sun Princess ’26 (18/7/26) Review

TJPW were back in Korakuen with their final big show before the Princess Cup. I missed reviewing the last TJPW trip to that famous venue because, while I was there in person, I was horrifically hungover. It meant I came out the other side having enjoyed the show, but feeling unqualified to try and unscramble my thoughts on it. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case with this one. Although, as is now the norm, these rambles are all based on opinions formed in the building, so there’s a chance I missed something, or will feel different on a rewatch.

Senjo The Biggest (12/7/26), Sendai Girls

A lot of companies must be looking at Sendai Girls with envious eyes at the moment. They’re selling tickets, the roster is growing, and with Senjo Spirit, they’ve opened themselves up to a whole new fanbase. As they march towards Budokan, there is a real momentum behind them, and it’s hard not to get caught up in the fun of it all. The vibes are great, and with so many things going right, it would have been a real shock if this show hadn’t followed suit. Let’s have a chat about whether it did.
