Here I was wondering if I was crazy for thinking MOTYC for Halftime Heat, but I was getting the same joy I would get from Toryumon/DG 6-mans. Nth’d!

They mentioned it during the Rumble because I remember everyone physically in the room going "What the heck?" and everyone on twitter being hype for it.

In that case I nominate HM because then it has a chance to get on the list.) this is why it should be a two-tier system tbh: WWE, NJPW, CMLL, ROH and eventually AEW under the current system, and indie promotions under the previous system I mean this opens up the question of ‘what is an indie/major?’ but tbh they’re the five promotions who get the most buzz/frequent nominations on SA, six if you count TNA I guess. The current system compensates for the biases of eyes on the product/major capital behind it, but it definitely hurts the chances that smaller promotions’ll be recognised for outstanding matches at the end of the year, especially if they don’t have regular TV or w/e Venomous fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Feb 4, 2019 |

I feel like this might be a bit weak and might not make it, but at the very least it's a match you should give a watch. HM: Drew Gulak vs. Matt Riddle, NXT TV, 2/6 If you like Technical matches, man is this for you.

Hm: Ryo Saito, Susumu Yokosuka, Genki Horiguchi & Don Fujii vs YOSSINO, “brother” YASSINI, Toru Owasi & Shachihoko Machine #2 Dragon gate 2/5 So this is a t2p v Toryumon match in dragon gate and it really brings me back to why I originally loved Toryumon in the day; there’s just a great mix of comedy/action/character that sometimes I feel modern Dg misses. I think if you never watched old of this you can skip this but for me a great nostalgia match. Find a gif of YOSSINO tho.

OP has been updated with what is, as far as I can tell, an accurate summary of the votes so far. I think allowing 4-6 weeks for additional votes is reasonable, so I'll give it another week for some of the earlier matches in the "hasn't hit the threshold list" to get any additional votes. After that I'll remove them from the list to keep things from getting too cluttered. Also In the future I'll not be adding anything to the "hasn't hit the threshold" list unless it gets at least 2 votes, as otherwise we end up with a long list of single vote matches, which is a pain to track back especially if they get voted on as part of a giant list of matches going back weeks. Some notable matches to consider: - The Women's Royal Rumble currently has 6 HMs and 5 WMOTYCs, one more vote in either category will get it onto the respective list. - LAX vs. Lucha Bros from Impact: Homecoming has 6 MOTYCs and just needs one more to make the list. - Tommaso Ciampa vs. Aleister Black from Takeover Pheonix is 2 votes short of making it to the MOTY list. The following are the best and worst matches of the year so far as voted on by Rowdy Ringsports: Matches of the Year 01/04 | Kota Ibushi (C) vs. Will Ospreay for the Never Openweight Championship - New Japan Wrestle Kingdom 13 01/04 | Tomohiro Ishii (C) vs. Zack Sabre Jr for the Rev Pro Undisputed Heavyweight Title - New Japan Wrestle Kingdom 13 01/04 | Chris Jericho (C) vs. Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship - New Japan Wrestle Kingdom 13 01/04 | Kenny Omega (C) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship - New Japan Wrestle Kingdom 13 01/04 | Barbaro Cavernario vs. Dragon Lee - CMLL Super Fridays 01/12 | Mustache Mountain vs. Grizzled Young Vets for the NXT UK Tag Team Titles - NXT Takeover UK 01/12 | Pete Dunne (C) vs. Joe Coffey for the NXT UK Championship - NXT Takeover UK 01/18 | Soberano Jr. vs Bárbaro Cavernario - NJPW Fantasticamania 01/21 | Caristico vs Volador Jr - NJPW Fantasticamania 01/22 | Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade in a 2-out-of-3 Falls match - WWE Smackdown 01/26 | The Undisputed Era (C) vs. The War Raiders for the NXT Tag Team Titles - NXT Takeover Phoenix 01/26 | Ricochet (C) vs. Johnny Gargano for the NXT North American Championship - NXT Takeover Phoenix 01/26 | Vikingo, Myzteziz Jr and Murder Clown vs the OGTs - AAA 01/27 | Asuka (C) vs. Becky Lynch for the Smackdown Women's Championship - WWE Royal Rumble 02/03 | Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa and Adam Cole vs. Velveteen Dream, Alister Black, and Ricochet - WWE Halftime Heat Worst Matches of the Year 01/14 | Super Raton, Super Muñeco and Super Pinocho vs. Rocky Santana, El Gallego and Romano Garcia - CMLL Arena Puebla 01/27 | The Bar (C) vs. Shane McMahon & The Miz for the Smackdown Tag Team Titles - WWE Royal Rumble 01/27 | The Men's Royal Rumble match - WWE Royal Rumble MOTY by Promotion: WWE (including NXT): 7 | New Japan: 6 | CMLL: 1 (3 if you count FantasticaMania) | AAA: 1 WMOTY by Promotion: WWE: 2 | CMLL: 1 Jerusalem fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Feb 11, 2019 |

WMOTYC: Blue Demon Jr vs Dr Wagner Jr, AAA 2/10/19 4 run ins, lots of bad looking stuff that left you wondering what in the hell was going on, so half of all AAA matches. Also Dr Wagner Jr doing one of the laziest catches on Blue Demon's dive you'll ever see.
