Did everyone overlook the Orton vs Cesaro match from 02/14/14 Smackdown right before the Elimination Chamber? Or was it not worthy of any nomination?

It was right between Bryan/Cesaro and Cena/Cesaro, which were both much better.

Yeah, the only thing that really made it stand out was that Cesaro won it, and even then I thought the Cena match made him look better.

The AA reversal flip was god-drat incredible.

Really, I'd say they were all great and people should watch all of them regardless.

I'm expecting him to win the Battle Royal and to use that to get him face time post-Mania for a rub.

It legitimately feels like the Battle Royal at mania exists solely to put over Cesaro, actually, since they want to push him and they know a win over Swagger might not be enough (though the two could probably put on a good match in the first hour).

I don't care what you say about this post, but if anyone steps on my bunion, I'll kill them!
Haha, looks like nobody else has nominated anything from Dragon Gate since uh, the one I nominated. But now that some more people have gotten the chance to see the thing:

MOTYC: Ricochet vs Masato Yoshino (c) - 03/02 Dragon Gate: Champion Gate in Osaka

Fantastic high-flying main event that in true Dragon Gate fashion still contains a thread of psychology to it such that it's not just a string of highspots, impressive though those are. Lots of swank reversals with a good dose of unique and painful looking submissions; that said, definitely NOT Jim Cornette or Jon Moxley/Dean Ambrose approved!

EDIT: Curse you Thauros! You told me to post since you didn't feel like doing it! WELL THEN! I'll throw in another we watched tonight shortly prior:

MOTYC: KENTA vs Yuji Nagata (c) - 02/22 NOAH: The Second Navigation

If this match had happened in a New Japan ring, we'd likely be discussing this one in the same breath as last month's Naito vs Ishii matchup, Okada vs Ibushi, and such. Nagata, typically an uber-babyface these days, is booed as an outsider as he gives KENTA a mauling so vicious it'll make you forget he's actually the same age as Batista. The word "backdrop" is something of a half-truth since I don't think backs are making any contact with the mat on these maneuvers. I suppose they're "backdrops" in the sense that they're being dropped back? KENTA's not exactly backing down even though he's clearly giving up size to Nagata despite now being classified as a heavyweight instead of a junior.

If either sound interesting, you can find them on DailyMotion or Youtube or the like. Or, for the next seven days, I'll have them in my playlist.
