2nd HM Matanza vs Cage, Lucha Underground - 6/1/2016

Two monsters just throwing bombs for ten minutes. Finish was an amazing display of strength. I loved it.

Ninety-one? There are ninety other "Tiger Drivers"? Do any involve actual tigers, or driving?
uuuuuhhhh I think if you look closely you'll find that the match contains only one monster and one machine

I'm gonna Nth MOTYC for Ospreay/Ricochet. It wasn't the best match this year, but it was very, very good and honestly looks like a brief window into the future. It will probably historically significant, at any rate.

I'll 3rd it. I love that they were basically doing the typical hoss match duel but with suplexes instead of forearms.

On second viewing switching my HM vote for Ospreay-Ricochet to MOTYC, I was distracted when I first watched it.

Little late on these but seconding:

MOTYC: Will Ospreay vs Ricochet
HM: Matanza vs Cage

Edit:

Also a HM for Will Ospreay vs Taguchi in the final of the Battle of the Super Juniors. I didn't know Taguchi had that kind of performance in him.

MOTYC Jimmy Susumu vs Eita - Dragon Gate 6/2

I think I said last month's match with Tozawa was the best match of young Eita's career.

I was wrong. This was. He's been working more of a T2P/Llave style and it has some of the more effective limbwork (i.e. There is limbwork) that you'll see out of the Dragon System.

2nd for this. I said last year Eita was going to be the breakout DG star of 2016, and I still hold to that.

Since this flew under the radar for most people and it could use more nominations, check it out:

Throw in my vote for this one. Taguchi had a great tournament and I expected a good match in the final. I never expected to be nominating a fuckin Taguchi match as a MOTYC but here I am. That crowd really helped them go over the top.

Better than the first. Fantastic match.
MOTYC Shinsuke Nakamura vs Austin Aries

MOTYCAsuka vs Nia Jax
I'm going a little crazy for this show, but I loved how much this match was a brutal showing by both, showing Nia's strength and dominance better than ever before, but Asuka credibly beating the poo poo out of her challenger.

As for the main event....

Worst Match Type of the Year Nomination: Cage Matches where you can escape.
They suck so much. Everyone just wants to see the two people fight with steel with no chance of escape. The drama goes away if they stop fighting to try and escape for a bit.

Especially when the door is an option. Why would you ever climb out if you can just casually stroll out?
