HM Juice vs Goto Really hot match and crowd was super into Juice. He's going to probably be the man to beat Jay White for the US title I think later this year

GenericMartini posted:I wasn't that big on it, but I enjoyed Kraneo and Rush being dick so nth I really liked the structure of the match, it was kind of non traditional, but the long heat in the first two falls made for a hot second half of the second fall. Rush being the biggest rear end in a top hat in the world is obviously the cherry on top.

I believe the OP is now fully up to date with the latest nominations, let me know if I've missed anything. WWE has achieved what I'm fairly certain is a first. They've managed to get two WMOTY nominations for a match featuring the same competitors for the same title on two different PPVs within a single calendar month. That's even more impressive than the time Chris Harris and James Storm in TNA got a WMOTY nod in one PPV and a MOTY nod in the very next one.

HM: Hana Kimura vs. Mika Iwata HM: Ayako Hamada vs. Chihiro Hashimoto MOTYC: Io Shirai vs. Meiko Satomura All from Sendai Girls at Korakuen Hall on April 19th. Please watch this show. It's less than two hours - a third of the length of the Oil Rumble and every match is fun as hell with the three singles matches being great. Io/Meiko might well be my favourite match this year. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Absolutely spectacular that blew my very high expectations out of the water. GEORGE W BUSHI fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Apr 30, 2018 |

MOTYC: Io Shirai vs Meiko Satomura Meiko is a living legend misplaced in time, she would have been neck and neck with Manami Toyota if she had been born 20 years earlier. Io Shirai is similarly in the running for the best women's wrestler of all time, but she's got a much flashier, modern style. It's astounding how great these two are. Watch this match. e: Meiko is like a fusion of WCW Dean Malenko and WWE Daniel Bryan, Io Shirai is like a fusion WCW Chris Jericho and NJPW Tanahashi.

MOTYC: Naomichi Marufuji vs. Kento Miyahara (AJPW Champion Carnival 4/30) Marufuji has looked half asleep all tournament until his (also really great) match with Akiyama on Wednesday, and here he really turned it up. Some absolutely brutal spots. I don't have it as high as the Shirai/Satomura match but still excellent.

MOTYC: Yuko Miyamoto vs HARASHIMA (DDT Extreme Title Normal Rules Match, DDT Max Bump 2018 4/29/18) The Smile Yankees explode! It was described to me as a non-stop murderfest (sans deathmatch tomfoolery) between two best friends and it does not disappoint. HARASHIMA is still DDT's ace and his tag partner Yuko is no slouch either, and they both go completely ham to prove which is the better wrestler.

I guess in that case I will rescind changing my MOTYC to a HM and hope someone else comes in with the MOTYC nomination. This one is more a curiosity than a match recommendation in any direction but if you want to watch Bob Backlund wrestle in the main event at Korakuen Hall in the year 2018 (with a claimed attendance of 2,400, a full 700 more people than were in attendance for NJPW New Year's Dash which was packed to the rafters) - here you go
