Dunne vs Bate would be my match of the year were it not for Omega vs Okada.

Every time I make a MOTYC nomination I feel like it goes without saying that it's a nomination for what is the best NON Omega/Okada Wrestle Kingdom match of the year :)

It's kinda of amazing how many great matches that would be legit matches of the year any other year just don't stand a chance cause Okada/Omega was so great. And it's not just a few matches we've had some great wrestling all through the year all over the world so it's been consistently good. The only years I think that would come close is the early 90's with the rise of Misawa/Kobashi/Kawada, Liger and the Juniors et all

Iwatani/Hojo was better but I really like Shirai/Storm, so I figure it deserves a nod too.

(World of Stardom is a really good value; 750 Yen a month for all these matches, english subtitled promos, and specials like The yearly janken tournament.)
