Finally got around to watching Wrestle Kingdom 14.

I love Japan's hard nosed style of matchcalling. Looks much more realistic in the ring. And they are definitely throwing harder punches than normal.

This. I have watched several Wrestle Kingdom events. They do it right. I dont drink enough bleach to watch regular wwe

it reminds me a lot of some peak WCW midcard matches.

the way guys like Malenko and Regal used to work matches. It was very realistic looking. But Japanese style looks much crazier because of all the punches, knees, and kicks. Every time I watch Kenny Omega run full speed and knee someone into the face it looks so good. And like that’s a normal move in Japanese wrestling. But in general I just like how the storytelling is in matches to where it doesn’t look completely choreographed.

i think one of my worries about aew is they need to tone down the cirque de soleil ****. I don’t see that stuff in wrestle kingdom as much. Every Botchamania has AAA Mexico cirque de soleil **** gone terribly wrong. There just comes a time where doing 3 extra flips isn’t optimal in a match and looks completely choreographed. I don’t ever recall wcw’s cruiserweight division ever looking that choreographed and like 90% of those guys were luchadors.
