Rambles about the wonderful world of wrestling.
Somehow, we’ve finished up another month, which means it’s time for my favourite matches from the last 31 days. As usual, there is probably all sorts of cool stuff that I’ve missed, so if you have anything to recommend, pop it in the comments below and feed my disturbing wrestling habit. If not, enjoy the article, and if you have a few quid going spare, consider throwing it in the pot.

Day two of Marvelous’s weekend away saw them rock up in Osaka, where, thankfully, the technical issues that plagued Saturday’s show didn’t persist. Despite those problems, I thought the previous day had some good stuff, so let’s find out if Sunday could match (or perhaps even better) it.

I’m going to get this out of the way early: the video quality, framerate and audio on this show weren’t fantastic. I’m assuming the Wi-Fi in the venue couldn’t handle the stream. Still, I am a Marvelous completionist, so I trundled on regardless, but that might make you think twice about doing so yourself.

Guess what, folks? It’s Mio time. After far too long, the best wrestler in the world is finally back, and if you can’t tell, I’m kinda excited. Mio was in a league of her own before her injury, and wrestling is infinitely better with her around, so let’s stop blabbing and get to the comeback.

Day two of Marvelous’s trip to Hokkaido was the big one, with the main event seeing Rin Kadokura and Itsuki Aoki defend their AAAW Tag Titles for the first time. Would they be able to hold onto the belts? Or would the young team of Riko Kawahata and Maria pull off the upset? Let’s find out.

Road trip! Marvelous travelled north to spend their weekend in Sapporo, delivering a couple of shows while they were at it. That means we’re getting a rare back-to-back Marvelous treat, which sounds like a lovely old time to me.

After a short break from reviewing Marvelous shows (it wasn’t through choice, they were going through one of those periods where they don’t want my money), we’re back! And I couldn’t be happier. Yes, Marvelous’s erratic approach to making their shows available to foreign fans can be frustrating, but they’re still the best, so my forgiveness comes easily.

Six beautiful years of Marvelous. Okay, I haven’t been there since the start, but everything I’ve seen is beautiful, so I’m willing to bet the rest is too. They celebrated their birthday in Korakuen Hall by crowing a new era of AAAW tag-team champions, so their seventh year was getting off to an exciting start.

Having already put on numerous preview events, mainly taking place on what appeared to be a slightly padded bin bag (which I loved), it’s finally time for Prominence to go big. For their first show proper, they were in Shin-Kiba, and have called on some friends to help them fill out the card. How exciting!

Marvelous’s anniversary is fast approaching, and with it, the final of the AAAW Tag League. This show, therefore, was about figuring out who would be facing off for those belts as we bring the group stage to a close. If my maths is correct, both blocks still had at least two potential winners coming in, so there was plenty to play for. ‘Mon the Mystic Young Fox!
