New year, new list, New Japan starts off hot again!
Alpha vs Omega did it. Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega put on a hell of a show. It was smart having it go no DQ, covers up for Jericho's age.
Honorable mention goes out to the Fatal 4Way between Marty Scurll, who is already up for entrance of the year, Will Osprey, KUSHIDA and Hiromu Takahashi. A great match, sometimes clusterfucky, and 3 really, really good wrestlers in it.
And Daryl.
More honorable mention goes to Minoru Suzuki v Hirooki Goto. That was my match of the night until Alpha v Omega.
I need to rewatch the main event, but it lost a lot of steam for me with the overdrawn out ending and the WRONG WRESTLER WINNING!

I also enjoyed the RPG 3k vs. Young Bucks match! |

I did and didn't. There was too much going on. Where the fak are the rules in NJPW tag matches?

Yeah, some of the results seemed questionable, but overall this was a huge improvement from WK 11.
I also really enjoyed Ibushi vs Cody.

Impact Wrestling 1/18/18
Barbed Wire Massacre III
Tag Team Title Match
OVE vs. LAX
For sheer violence and shock, I want to put on the list. So many times through the barbed wire. So many unprotected head shots with chairs... And to cap it off, wooden skewers to the head.

I don't like unprotected head shots. Does nothing but make me sick since Necro Butcher took one a decade ago.

How do you have a barbed wire match with no blood? I'm thoroughly confused...

I'm sorry man, but as good as those matches were, nothing compares to La Sombra and Johnny Wrestling putting on a show no one may top this year. Including Alpha vs Omega.

NXT 2/7/18. SAniTy vs The Undisputed Era in a 6 man tornado tag match. Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dane, Adam Cole (BAY BAY), Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish put on a hell of a show!
This match is an example where the booking benefited everyone. No one looked bad, everyone looked strong and the last 3 minutes of the match was insane. Killian Dane stood out the most in this match and stole it. He's had tremendous booking since debuting.
Definitely a must see match this year.

I dunno about the whole match, but the first hour + of the Gauntlet Match from Monday Night RAW on 2/19 (I believe that was date). Seth Rollins wrestled through three matchups, pinned Roman Reigns and John Cena, and had ring time of 1 hour and 5 minutes.

I have to put this on here.
Undisputed Era of Adam Cole (bay bay!), Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong vs Pete Dunne, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch from NXT on 5/17/18. One hell of a free match, and one hell of a shock ending. I'm still marking out.
Also, a good chunk of NXT Takeover from New Orleans, but we were all too burnt out to post it. Ladder match and Gargano/Chiampa. Chiampa's heat rivals the heat death of the universe.
