Timothy Thatcher vs. Tommaso Ciampa
This wasn't as interesting as their TakeOver match or Thatcher's previous Fight Pit bout against Matthew Riddle, but I still had a fun time watching it. There was really nothing cute about this, as they had a nice, pretty rugged fight with their always great, basic offense. ***
NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 15 - Night 2
Jay White vs. Kota Ibushi
I have loved these two together in every match of theirs that I've seen thus far, but this one ended that streak. There really is nothing _wrong_ with it & there's actually a bunch of good, cool stuff in there at times, but it's just SO damn long. Unnecessary long. Holy hell how long. It's almost a cliche to say at this point, but the 48-minute runtime felt like it was at least 3 hours, because of how uncompelling & uninteresting the work was for the absolute vast majority of it. At least we'll always have the G1 Finals 2019. Gentleman's **
AEW Dynamite 01/27/21
Eddie Kingston vs. Lance Archer
This was exactly what it needed to be with these two - two badass mofos having a badass pro-wrestling fight. Both guys have such great arsenals, it's a joy watching them beat one another up. Archer served more than well as the babyface going against Eddie. Wonderful sub-10 minute STUFF. ***1/2
