MOTYC Enzo vs WWE Security

Enzo going from his realist guy in the room spiel to getting German suplexed effortlessly from a ponytailed blonde woman who looked like the manager of a bank was probably at least the best spot of the year

Jesus Christ, this was boring, bad, and is pushing a wrestler no one likes specifically for being an unsafe worker.

Wrestling is such a weird business that I almost think the only way you could make this work is to push Nia and have Becky obliterate her which will probably happen, but I’m so skeptical of WWE’s abrasively and purposefully nonsensical booking that I have huge doubts that it will

Like in the back of my mind they have Tamina do a run in and everything just becomes immediately fucky. If they did that I’d like to see Ronda make the save and for her and Becky to just stare each other down like Ronda is like “gently caress no you don’t get this excuse not to face me”

Gonna throw in a MOTYC for Daniel Bryan vs. Brock Lesnar. That was incredible and I'd much rather watch that over and over than a hundred different Johnny Gargano/Tommasso Ciampa matches.

I just got done watching it and holy poo poo I’m in. That might have been the best paced and acted match of the year imo. Might have single handedly redeemed the way they’ve been booking Bryan since his return for the time being

I wonder if Bryan was a face if they would have let him kick out of an F5

Another 5 minutes would have taken it to another level

Agreed

Not sure what was a crazier spot, Fenix missing that dive to the outside or Cavernario deciding to take his usual crazy splash to the next level

HM: G-Raver vs Jeff Cannonball

One of the most psychotic death matches of the year. Not as much gore as Fly Star vs Toxin, but the cinderblock spots to me were even crazier than the insanity of that match. Not as good of a match, but a complete death match spectacle.

HM: Jack Evans vs Nick Gage

The best Jack Evans singles match I've seen since Strong vs Evans in FIP. Jack is a fantastic heel and all of his stuff looked great here.

I've rewatched a bumch of matches in this thread and I think ZSJ vs A-Kid is probably my lock so far. It's 100% my style of match (I re-watched Bryan Danielson vs Low-Ki when they went to their hour draw probably like 20 times) and I thought it was pitch perfect. I absolutely love matches that look like almost real fights and that can pop crowds with spots that would go unremarked upon because they only have like 4-5 of them and place them so well

It's not this but it's still good to this day. What the hell am I thinking of? I swear to god there was an hour long Danielson Low Ki broadway that I watched a bunch from 2002 or 2003 but it's entirely possible I'm mixing this match up in my mind with something else. It's been over a decade since I watched that era of ROH

HM: Zack Sabre Jr & Taichi vs. Suzuki & Iizuka

Suzuki making ZSJ work for the submission holds was great. It was an easy story to tell and they did it well. Taichi and Iizuka's little comedy bit worked well within the context of this match too, and didn't take anything away from the intensity. Mini mark-out segment with Iizuka seemingly remembering his pre-gimmick self.

the main event of the first Final Battle went to a draw but it was a four-way with Dragon, Ki, Corino, and Joe

otherwise I don’t think Dragon did any big draws until 06, when he did like three of them in one month
