EDION Arena Osaka #2, Osaka, Japan

(reviewed 12/13/2019) No idea why this impressed anyone at the time. If I wanted to watch a late 2010s NOAH juniors match I’d wat- well no I wouldn’t, because those are real dull. Also dull: Dragon Gate matches that aren’t especially slick, colorful, endearing, or hard-hitting. Hard-pressed to find any of those adjectives here.
