Starting a thread here of what I feel are underseen great matches that are new to me. First up Kana (Asuka) vs Meiko Satomura from 2014. Very unique presentation but the early grappling exchanges are electric and should be studied.

@punkinomenon @elliottswrstlin An affront to pro wrestling

@elliottswrstlin An abomination

For context, the global estimate for Mayweather vs Pacquiao is 60 million.

Tyson peaked globally at an estimated max of 200 million vs Spinks. Even Holyfield 2 is estimated at 100 million +

[Niall Morrissey @morrman]

UFC is on channels worldwide with about 300 million viewers. They'd need every single person with access to UFC worldwide to watch plus find another 700 million. The majority of which would be middle of Sunday night, early Monday morning. While there are world cup games on.

[Happy Punch @HappyPunch]

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Dana White said the UFC White House event will get over a BILLION global viewers 😳

2022 FIFA World Cup Final — 1.5 billion

1969 moon landing — 650 million

Super Bowl LX — 126 million

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson — 108 million

Lucha libre has THE MOST STORIES

sometimes literal decades worth of stories!!!

Family histories, factions, rivalries that have continued for years and years - like this isn’t even up for debate?

[Niall Morrissey @morrman]

Atlantis vs Villano III is an all timer.

[Dave Meltzer @davemeltzerWON]

They all knew moves but didn't know psychology nor storytelling. Somehow their matches had the most heat in the world for decades. Imagine how hot Atlantis vs. Villano III or Konnan vs. Jake vs. Cien Caras would have been if they only knew how to tell stories and were taught ring psychology.

[luchablog @luchablog]

truly, no one has ever told a story in lucha libre before the wwe came along to teach everyone

[Niall Morrissey @morrman]

We've got the job done.

Wild we are a few hours away from the end of #GWE26

[Niall Morrissey @morrman]

@AJPWNerd My top 3 was
1. Danielson
2. Kobashi
3. Funk

[Jacob @Jeikobbbbb]

one of the most ridiculous peaks in wrestling history

[Dean Marlowe @DeansCanon]

People who think Danielson matches are indulgent would have a hard enjoying jazz. Sometimes you gotta let the artist cook and appreciate that he knows what you want and if you don’t like it, you don’t get it yet.

@AJPWNerd I went at 41 with her. She's class.

As it nears it's conclusion #GWE26 has been getting some unlikely and unnecessary criticism when in reality it is actually one of the best things in wrestling fandom right now, for a whole bunch of reasons...
