Hello, for the third year running I did a big write-up for the best stuff that came out of NJPW in 2025. Best promo, show, matches and wrestlers of the year. I think my opinions are pretty unusual and differ from the norm in quite a lot of ways, and I think broadening your horizons by listening to well-reasoned and detailed perspectives that aren't aligned with yours is a really cool way to engage, so you'll probably really enjoy reading it. It's about 12k words so definitely something to read on your lunch break at work.
Now I typically just link to the post on my blog and leave it at that, but the engagement I got in the past two years was almost non-existent, so I'm trying a different approach this time, and making it a text post rather than a link post. I would just paste it all here, but directly posting it to Reddit is a pain because it kills all the formatting I did, so I'd have to entirely redo it which sounds like a big ol' pain.
The post is here – https://jadronau.wordpress.com/2025/12/31/the-best-of-new-japan-pro-wrestling-in-2025/
Thank you very much for reading, apologies if the formatting or light mode background is a bit annoying for people. Let me know your thoughts!
