MOTYC - Tomoaki Honma vs. Tomohiro Ishii

Best I've seen this year so far. Not high end, but I'm sure there'll be better ones in the second half of 2014.

Yeah, not like they need another vote at this point but now that I've seen the match I'd easily give Ishii/Honma a MOTYC nod and a HM to Okada/Styles. Ishii might seriously get my vote for most outstanding wrestler right now, dude always delivers.

Here's links to a couple matches I think deserve a second look in this thread.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Bad Luck Fale- New Japan Cup Final 3/23 - this fell 1 vote short of a well deserved IMO HM.

Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Shinsuke Nakamura- NJPW Invasion Attack 4/06 - Made the HM list, but this was IMO the best of their trilogy this year and deserved a MOTYC nod. I'm a Shinsuke mark so maybe I'm just biased cause he won, but watch it yourself and decide if you haven't seen it yet.

yea ok

Was Ishii/Honma better than Ishii/Naito (when Ishii won the Never Openweight Title)? Because if so, holy shiiiiiiiiiiiit :stare:

I don't think it was. Ishii/Honma was crazy and basically a 15 minute sprint with huge moves and stuff (diving headbutts to the floor) but ultimately Ishii/Naito was cooler with a better finishing sequence.

Yeah. Ishii/Naito is my personal MOTY so far, Ishii/Honma was an excellent ****1/2ish match but not quite at that level for me.

It was probably the "worst" Wyatts/Shield match so far. Perfectly serviceable match but nothing special.

Several members of stables fighting to make sure their stablemate doesn't have to get their head shaved or be unmasked. It's fantastic.

Watch the whole Dead or Alive iPPV, it's the best show of the year so far.

I haven't watched past the Flamita vs. Susumu match, but it's been great so far. If anyone wants more info on DG, check the last page of the general puro thread KFG and NotQuiteQuentin provided some helpful links and info when I asked since I'm new to DG myself.

I'll fifth (?) MOTY Honma vs Ishii Wrestling Dontaku 5/03. It's a little more borderline for me than I expected, but I can see it being deserving.

I'll also give a MOTY nod to AJ-Okada. Not sure I loved the booking concept that got them to that point, but the match was real drat good.
