MOTYC: Viral Infection vs. WWE Locker Room, 10/22/2017

Kurt Angle in the ring, and of course, Finn/AJ. I'm now excited about a card I thought would only be worth a poo poo because of Asuka.

HMMOTYC: AJ Styles vs Finn Balor at WWE TLC 10/22

Only not a MOTYC because 2017 has been beyond insane for quality matches, but holy gently caress this was good.

gently caress it, the 2 Sweet at the end pushed me over the edge.

That's enough for it to make the list - that's two MOTYCs from a card that a week ago was looking like it was going to be a disaster.

Thirded. The match was fun but also a legitimately bad match with a lot of problems. We would be complaining about it if they did that match but with Roman instead of Kurt.

Maybe, but nobody would be nominating it as the worst.

Jerusalem

It has enough nominations for both so, unless I'm missing another one, I believe this is the first match this year that has simultaneously been nominated for both Best Match of the Year AND Worst Match of the Year.

18 minutes was a fine amount of time. Not every match fits 30+ minutes, nor does every show or audience. The MOTY nomination seems fine by me.

I'll go for HM on this. It was stupid as poo poo at times but man, that poo poo was just really fun to watch. The whole thing was scripted to death and some of it was 100% silly but it was silly in a way that made me smile, laugh, and enjoy myself for a main event like I haven't in months.

It’s not WMotY being objectively bad, it’s based on wasted potential, poor booking and a poor layout. The Shield reunion and Angle’s return are two of the biggest cards they can play, and they both were overbooked to death.

Kane and Braun should have just had their own segment, and not been part of this match at all.

Miz/Bar vs Shield should have been the match, it didn’t need to be no DQ at all. A regular match would have been better as booked, and better with the addition of Angle. Instead, it’s big moment was a garbage truck.

HM - KUSHIDA and Hirai Kawato vs. Roppongi 3k - 10/23
HM - Dragon Lee and Titan vs. L.I.J (Hiromu and BUSHI) - 10/23

I liked both of these matches a lot. Kawato is super over already and ready to make the next step. I knew he had to be taking the pin yet I still bit on the near falls. Dragon Lee/Hiromu never gets old. I love that NJPW has kept the continuity of those two just killing each other whenever they get the chance.
