Bankok: Sep 10, 2004; SPARTA!!!

MOTYC: Omega/Okada
HM: Elgin/Juice

Maybe I'm biased because I love Juice but that was a really really good match that continued to build Juice into a top level contender. Especially the fact that Elgin felt the need to try a Burning Hammer to put Juice away.

Nth'ing both. Entire G1 has been incredible.

I'll second Elgin/Juice, it was real good with a great ending, and seemed like it was setting up contenders for the US Title going forward.

From Dragon Gate's 8/8 Korakuen Show:

HM: MaxiMuM (Big R Shimizu, Ben-K, Kotoka) vs. Over Generation (Eita, Takehiro Yamamura, Kaito Ishida)
Young guys having a great match that started out as close as Dragon Gate gets to vicious brawls, and the ending was straight fire.

HM: 4-Man Elimination Match: Tribe Vanguard (YAMATO, BxB Hulk, Kzy, Yosuke Santa Maria) vs. Verserk (Shingo Takagi, T-Hawk, El Lindaman, The Artist Formerly Known As Cyber Kong)
A hair away from MOTYC. Despite the clean sweep by the faces, they managed to get some real good underdog babyface heat.

Like the bar for a MOTYC is so high this year that a match like Asuka vs Ember Moon is a HM despite being a great match that would be among the best of the year any other year.
