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.

Marvelous (8/8/26) Review

She is Marvelous. Credit: Here

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.

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.

Ramblings About’s Matches of the Month for May 2026

It will happen one day! Credit: TJPW

Another month, another batch of ramblings about matches and shows I primarily saw live. Of the 11 events covered here, there is only one I didn’t attend in person, and that’s because I woke up feeling like shit, so I stayed in bed that morning. I hope you’re not all bored of me talking about how much I love going to Ichigaya Chocolate Square because it ain’t stopping any time soon.

Marvelous 10th Anniversary (5/5/26) Ramble

I believe Mio took Chig’s tracksuit. Credit: Here

I started writing a full review of this show, only to realise that there were a few matches I had very little to say about. They weren’t awful, or even that bad, but it’s hard to wrangle opinions on everything. What am I going to say about another Titus Alexander vs Starboy Charlie match? They seem like nice lads, and Titus gets Marvelous in a way only a handful of foreign talents have, but them wrestling each other is what it is. It was for a WWE belt, for Christ’s sake. So, instead, I’ve picked out some talking points that I do have something to say about.

Ramblings About’s Matches of the Month for March 2026

Hiyori gets her title shot! Credit: Here

As mentioned elsewhere, I moved to Japan this month! So, hopefully you’ll understand that while I have been going to more live shows, getting time to write about them hasn’t been my main priority. I’ve still managed to have a ramble about a bunch of matches I enjoyed, but there were quite a few that I would have liked to talk about, and simply didn’t have the time. Fingers crossed things will be a bit less frantic next month!

Ramblings About’s Matches of the Month for February 2026

The super rookie meets a new challenge. Credit: Here

If you keep an eye on the dates for this month’s matches, it will be fairly obvious at what point I got very busy. Thankfully, it’s all for good reasons, which I’ll probably discuss next month when it’s been sorted out. In the here and now, I still managed to get into a fair few matches before life got hectic, touching on a bit of New Japan, CMLL and even American indie wrestling. Of course, there’s also my usual favourites to go alongside them, so don’t assume I’ve sold out quite yet.

Ramblings About’s Matches of the Month for January 2026

It might be a new year, but some things remain the same, as I commit to rambling about whatever wrestling I’ve been watching each month. You can tell it’s January because I always enter a new twelve months motivated to keep up with as much different stuff as possible. Will these lists be slowly whittled down to mainly covering Marvelous, TJPW and ChocoPro by the time April rolls around? Probably, but it’s nice to convince myself 2026 could be the year I stay on top of everything. You never know!

Ramblings About’s Matches of the Month for October 2025

After a quieter September, I’ve gone all out for October. We’ve got a host of exciting matches to talk about here, including two dives into uncharted territory and a somewhat accidental Meiko Satomura month as I continue my journey through the GAEAISM YouTube channel. It was getting so unruly that there were a couple of things I didn’t have time to write about. If you ever see me in the street, feel free to ask, and I’ll bore you about them.
