one wrestler i've been trying to watch more of this year, and really her genre in general is stephanie vaquer from CMLL, after her great performance against mercedes mone eariler this year recently i've been catching up on missed matches and shows which got me around to watching njpw strong resurgence from eariler this year.
BEST OF BLUE RANKINGS for some matches.
NJPW STRONG Women's Title Tournament Semi Final Match
Mercedes Mone vs. Stephanie Vaquer - 4 stars
NJPW STRONG Women's Title Tournament Semi Final Match
Willow Nightingale vs. Momo Kohgo - 3.75 stars
Street Fight
Fred Rosser vs. Juice Robinson - 3.75 stars
Six Man Tag Team Match
CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii) vs. Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta) & Shota Umino 4.25 stars
NJPW STRONG Women's Title Tournament Final Match
Mercedes Mone vs. Willow Nightingale - 4 stars
Mone vs Willow would have been higher had not Mercedes ankle broke, they were having a REAL damn good match, what a shame.
I also watched a match between Vaquer and formerly Katrina Cortez or some may remember her as the random lucha girl that showed up with Sin Cara a few years ago on Raw, now known as La Catalina.
CMLL Martes De Arena Mexico 11/07/23
Stephanie Vaquer vs. La Catalina - 3.5 stars
a short but very impressive match for Vaquer carrying the clearly more green Catalina, this match is fine but it does get on my list, and gets an extra .25 stars to boost it too the 3.5 due to an incredibly good dragon screw from Vaquer, I think dragon screws are one of my favourite moves.
I reccomend people to go out their comfort zone and look at some stuff they might not, i'm enjoying this Lucha looks.

yeah so my brother was over tonight and after we'd had a heart-to-heart and a gossip i stuck TEEN WOLF on—which he is aware of and knows it's one of my shows, but has never actually watched himself—just for a bit of background bc it was there in my 'continue watching' as i'm never really not watching it lol.
ANYWAYS we continued chattering through it for a while (the majority of eps 1&2) but then he started sporadically paying it more and more attention, till he was eventually commenting and asking me questions etc.
here are some of the veritable golden nuggets he dropped:
“well, that coach fella's my new bestie.”
“the hammy lad with the face (jackson) is giving me such biff from back to the future vibes.”
“why is clark kent (he knows hoech from superman & lois) being an autistic male model with serious pmt?”
(still taking about hoec) “oh, bloody hell, he's actually really good looking, isn't he?!”
"the sfx in this are so fuckin bad they actually double back to being terrific.”
“so, are we, like, supposed to not give a shit about the main guy then, or what?”
(more scott talk) “although i do actually kind of want to hug him—but i feel that's somehow unrelated to his character.”
“pretending to do back flips off a roof is cool af i don't care what anybody says.”
(about k*te argent) “hoho, she's gonna turn out to be a massive cunt, isn't she?”
“this is fucking brilliant, they (the wolf transformations) look like were!fonzies!”
“jesus, we're like, 3 eps in and there's already what looks to be the beginnings of quite intricate character arcs? this show should honestly not be this intriguing, wtf.”
(commentary on the acting chops) “oh, wow, so the one that's playing scott is pretending to be scott... while the one playing stiles just IS stiles!”
(scene at the start of magic bullet where stiles is talking to scott about derek):
stiles: okay, sorry, no more talk about alphas or derek; especially derek—who still scares me.
my brother: yeah, that's because he quite clearly makes your willy hard, mate.
also my brother: OH, SHIT! THAT'S STEREK, RIGHT?! well, it's no fucking wonder that that's a thing.
AND HE HAS NOT EVEN MET PETER YET
so yeah my hope is now obviously that he'll go home and get obsessed and spank the entire 6 seasons in 4 days and become one of our most prolific fanfic writers.
