It honestly depends on what you watch wrestling for :yeshrug:

Pentagon
Styles
Omega

Should all be on the list

But wrestling is more than just matches. It’s the spectacle/circus aspect too. Brock isn’t a top 15 in the ring, but anywhere on the planet if his music hits randomly and he walks out, the roof explodes.

I still need to see Pentagon.

If we do this?

To be clear, are you asking for singles or do tag teams count?

Also if so, we’ll then for the tag teams do they count as one or two?:ohhh:

Just gonna copy/paste what I wrote about it in the Puro thread not long ago:

Big Japan: There's too sides of BJW: the Deathmatch division and the Strong division. The first one is pretty self explanatory, gory hardcore stuff with blood, light bulbs, barbwire, thumbtacks, and more, if you can get past the gore, they pull off some dope fukking matches from time to time.

The second one is my personal favorite and it has been for almost a decade now. It also has the best dojo in Japan, imo, the amount of talented motherfukkers that come out of here is staggering for such a small company. You get a mix of very different wrestlers - literally any kind you can imagine, including a dude that did Sumo for 10 years - going into battle with one premise: make shyt matter. There's a hierarchy - traditional in any puroresu promotion - that's respected, but at the same time, it can change any day because the style lets everyone on the roster play a different role depending on who they are working with. There are hoss battles, very technical mat based matches, spotsfests, sprints, even a hybrid of shoot style. There's also a uniqueness on their finishes, even though every wrestler has a finishing move, it's VERY common for a match to end with a "random" move because the story of the match called for it. Most of the matches are really short too, so it's easy as fukk to watch. You won't find a bunch of MOTYCs - though you will get them for big matches -, but you will always find a fun match that's short and has something memorable. They also free lance a lot, and given how awesome their style is, they ALWAYS bring a breath of fresh air and dope matches to the companies they are "invading". Because they are a small promotion, booking is pretty straight forward.

TheColi.com :ufdup:

You are always on the Puro thread so you know there's a bunch of reviews there.

Cagematch is pretty good if you are looking for reviews of matches too, though they don't have for it every show that has a match worth watching (for obvious reasons, they would have to be 100% dedicated to BJW and that's not what they do)
