Btw, there should be a Google document, where every user can type in their recommended NJPW matches (and for that matter, we can do it across every wrestling streaming platform, like PROGRESS on Demand, RevPro, WWE Network, wXwNOW etc.)

At least for NJPW, Ask and ye shall receive (Note: This clearly isn’t mine, it’s SenorLariato’s)

Thanks for posting the list, the links make it far easier to get to the matches.

Still, I’d like to see some kind of spreadsheet where we can share matches from all over the world within the POST Wrestling-community. For example the Ishii-Keith Lee match from RevPro or the Okada-Slex match from MCW are available on NJPW, but aren’t listed on the list you’ve posted.

Watch WK 7 and 9. I love those shows!

AJ Styles vs Suzuki from the G1 in 2014

Tanahashi vs Suzuki from King Of Pro Wrestling in 2012

I just love Suzuki and he’s at his best here.

Also worth working your way through Meltzer’s list of 5* matches here

Apollo 55 (Finn Balor/Ryusuke Taguchi) had some tremendous matches with the Motor City Machines Guns (Chris Sabin/Alex Shelly) and it’s baffling that they aren’t on New Japan World.

Oh, absolutely do check out that Keith Lee vs Ishii match. It’s fucking amazing.

My recommendation is to keep it. There is so much to see
