You could probably put Kushida in the running has he's had a superb year as well and he probably won't see the top 5 on any ballot.

Right now I have it

Okada
Naito
KUSHIDA
Ishii
Hiromu


Styles should be up there most years, but as mentioned, he's been farting around the midcard for most of the year before winning the title back, so I'm not sure where to rank him.

Styles Match Start and End were pretty good but the Owens feud was meh and the Corbyn series has done nothign for him so I have a hard time even see him cracking the top 10 this year.

I'd probably go Okada, Naito, Omega, Kushida, Ishii this year.

I wonder if they knew the program was really about Shane, so they didn't bother trying to have great matches knowing that a stupid finish was coming.

And I haven't watched Night Two yet, is Ishii/Mastiff really that bad?

i'm probably underrating it, but i just didn't think it was good at all. extremely generic stuff.

this, idk what their matches were like before they joined the WWE but their WWE program together was just kinda average

like, the Summerslam match was probably the best of the lot, but when KO/Shane was better than any single AJ/KO match, it's just...idk

Yeah, in fairness that's kind of the feeling I got during the feud. Like, they're both good enough that they can't really have a bad match, but everything's just off a little so it never really hits above about ***3/4.

Finally had a chance to watch the full match so

MOTYC: Keith Lee vs Tomohiro Ishii - Half hoss off, half Small man fighting big man. All real good. Keith Lee needs to be in next years G1 so I can see him vs Okada.

Ishii is so drat good

The third fall was very hot and everything from the Gory Special attempt on was awesome. Especially the Gory special sequence, that was some great core strength.
