Natsu & Saory 10th Anniversary
An incredible show and testament to the artform of pro wrestling. A show designed to celebrate both the careers of two interlinked wrestlers, but the careers, promotions and even musicians that made them who they are, telling their history chronologically through the very construction of the card.
It has fun matches, great matches, theater, and musical performances, all that link together to tell a coherent, cohesive story.
This is a show that loves pro wrestling, bringing together half a dozen promotions to show how the lives of all of those involved are interconnected. Wrestling isn't just a promotion -- a black box that pretends everything outside it doesn't exist -- it's an entire artform and culture.
I usually rank matches and not shows, but this show is something strongest as a whole. This might be the best card ever made, not in terms of match quality, but in terms of using the whole card to tell a story. Absolutely beautiful.

Was telling Karami about how there's a ton of Japanese history of torturing new wrestlers with Boston Crabs. While no one commits to it as hard as they used to, it's always fun to see a little 🦀
