MOTYC: Princess Sugehit vs Zeuxis, great heat, rare great usage of the 2/3 falls rules to add tension to nearfalls in the third fall.

3rd, though I think the third fall dragged on a bit. That said, the drama of the mask stip carried the match through, along with how none of the two's spots could put each other away until Zeuxis pulled the Spanish Fly from out of nowhere.

2nd. Didn't quite have the drama of the other mask match on the show, probably because of the build, but a really solid and fun match that's worth checking out.

From Dragon Gate's 9/18 Dangerous Gate show

MOTYC: No DQ Unit Disbands Elimination Match - Verserk (Shingo Takagi, T-Hawk, Takashi Yoshida, El Lindaman, and Punch Tominaga) vs. Jimmyz (Jimmy Susumu, Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!, Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Jimmy Kanda, and Jimmy K-Ness J.K.S.)

Shingo bullied Dragon Gate into letting him do a death match and this was the result. Not nearly as much a fast paced clusterfuck as these things usually are, but lots of great spots and high drama nonetheless. Some great imagery in the ending stretch of the final two fighting in a deconstructed ring among the detritus of death match weaponry. Match ended with women in the crowd openly weeping which is pretty much a requirement for being 2017's best match.

It's not that kind of test.
I just watched the ROH/NJPW shows on NJPW World and Kushida/Titan was very enjoyable. Maybe worth an HM, but definitely worth watching.

Seconded, that was the best match of the tour for me.

For anyone who didn't watch the show but watches NJPW and wants to know which matches are worth checking out I'd recommend watching Beretta/Yujiro, it's not a fantastic match that deserves an HM or anything but it was really good, and for someone like me who's only been watching a year it shows that Yujiro is actually capable of holding his own and isn't poo poo.

Maybe it's just because I was there but holy poo poo, that was quite possibly the best match I've ever seen live, and Coffey's promo afterwards just loving made it so special. Incredible.

Recommending this match again since the full show just came out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuj1p50lHac&t=7604s

e: also, from that same show, HM: Rampage Brown vs. Mikey Whiplash, Discovery Wrestling 3rd Anniversary, 9/16, b/c the storytelling in that match was goddamn phenomenal

Man I can't believe I never went back and edited this post. From the same show:

HM - Open the Brave Gate Championship Match: Yosuke Santa Maria vs. Jimmy KAGETORA
Not gonna win any awards honestly but this was about the level of a real good Toru Yano G1 match, but Maria is a better worker than YRT. First time I've seen a title match based around the champion trying to maintain his Volcel Oath.

MOTYC - Open the Dream Gate Championship Match: Masaaki Mochizuki vs. YAMATO
The biggest issue with YAMATO's reign has been that while the title matches themselves have been fantastic, outside of the match where he won it, the booking has been lackluster. Either the match is just happening because one needs to happen and the crowd isn't really invested in it (Hulk, T-Hawk) or the momentum was entirely on his opponents side and his win undercut things (Doi, Kong, Tozawa, Doi). Here they managed to avoid that by having the guy with all the momentum win. Plus the match was pretty tremendous, as it had to be to win the crowd back after the end of the Jimmyz. About as technical a match as you'll see in Dragon Gate, created a lot of suspense and played to both men's strengths and led to a great sense of earned victory for Mochizuki while keeping YAMATO strong.
