List of matches to get to know the wrestlers

  • February 26, 2026

I'm pretty new to the promotion and wanted to watch matches that highlight the current roster, so I went to the last PPVs and is it so often is, they focus on some wrestlers and feuds without others getting to shine. So I thought, maybe there is a list somewhere of "when it comes to this wrestler, you need to see match A, B and C" and then I could familiarize myself with them and see, who I want to follow at first.

  1. I’d recommend just watching the New Year’s dash show and then New Beginning in Osaka. That’ll catch you up on everything. The main event of Dash was one of the best matches of the year so far too!

  2. You want the wrestler’s current story or want to watch what the wrestler could do in the ring like their best matches?
