Great idea for a thread, I threw in a link in the OP of the MOTY thread.

Thirding! Andrade and his misunderstanding of how friendship works is the best.

Some of the worst "acting" you will ever see in a pro wrestling segment

For some reason you uploaded some edited version, which is pretty unfair in my opinion. People should vote for it based on the real thing:

BOTYC: 1/10 - Miho Abe - JTO TakaTaichiMania 3

I think any birthday where Minoru Suzuki personally delivers your cake would have to be considered a BOTYC. Happened after the very heartfelt main event of Taichi vs DOUKI and some post-match promos.

Timestamped to about 7:15 when the birthday starts, and there are English subtitles that can be turned on (highly recommended):

Weirdest Match of the Year: Will Ospreay vs. BUSHI - NJPW New Japan Cup 3/6

The entire structure of this match was just bizarre, with multiple ref bumps that were completely accidental by both wrestlers and didn't result in any cheating or advantage given to either side and none of us watching it in the thread could figure out what was going on or why.

if I have been very busy and do not have time in my life for BOSJ, should I just throw in last night's show or would I be missing out? Might be able to eke out space for the MOTYCs but definitely not all the HMs...

The whole show was a blast, the great matches were great but there wasn't a bad match on the entire show and all of them had something exciting about them (Connors and Taguchi in particular was a delight). I think the "worst" match was Akira vs. Zayne, which was the first match on the card, and even that was good!
