This was the strongest looking card of all of the New Beginning shows, and The New Beginning in Osaka did not disappoint.

The last three matches are all worth a watch especially the main event just to see where you sit with it.

Nothing bad on this show but the only matches to go out of your way to see would be the two singles matches.  

Another fun FantasticaMania show in Korakuen Hall that had three great encounters but also three mediocre efforts.

Korakuen Hall means we finally get the good Fantastica Mania stuff. A good ‘translation’ of a standard CMLL show in Arena Mexico.

NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 13 was an A+ show. Five excellent matches, a couple of which may prove to be match of the year contenders.

The final NJPW show of 2018 continued the build to Wrestle Kingdom 13 but featured a few good matches and one of the best tag matches of the year. 

The bar for Wrestle Kingdom 13 is already high and this Road to Tokyo Dome show did little to get me more excited.

A pretty enjoyable show, there have been better matches on the World Tag League 2018 tour but this one still laps the last few shows by miles.

Last two matches are very good, otherwise nothing all that must watch.

A much better show compared to the dismal Osaka outing.

Abort, Abort! Do not watch this show!

Just watch the final two World Tag League matches, the main event is pretty good but also entirely skippable.

If you have the two and a half hours, watch the whole show, if you don’t; the Tenzan moonsault, the Chuckie angle and the last three league matches are all worth watching.

A World Tag League 2018 night that fell victim to the good teams of the tournament facing off against the weaker teams.

A decent yet unspectacular show, which completely turned around after the last two matches and those are the only ‘must watch’ matches of the show.

A very strong start but I’m afraid that was the peak and the quality quickly plummeted. Just watch the first match.

Night 5 was another pretty good World Tag League 2018 show with some good, fun wrestling.

Best night of tournament matches so far.

If you have to watch a match on this World Tag League show, the G.O.D/Finjuice match is the only one worth your time.

NJPW’s Winter Classic—the World Tag League—rolls on with Night 2 featuring EVIL & SANADA taking on Michael Elgin & Jeff Cobb in our main event.

Night one of NJPW’s World Tag League 2018 was pretty enjoyable show despite the lack of great matches.
