MOTYC: Will Ospreay vs Switchblade Jay White - NJPW 47th Anniversary Show
HM: Jushin Thunder Liger vs Taiji Ishimori

A damned fine show.

I'll nth the nomination for Liger vs. Ishimori, but I'd say Switchblade vs Ospreay was "only" an HM (still a great match) personally.

That said, Switchblade/Ospreay only needs 2 other MOTY votes to make the list, and with my vote thrown in Liger vs. Ishimori only needs one more to make the HM list.

This is the type of match you watch Dragon Gate for because no other company comes close to doing it like them.

WMOTYC: Diamante Azul vs Gilbert El Boricua, CMLL 3/8

The first fall was boring with weak strikes and a lazy finish.

The second fall was absolute trash. Diamante Azul would just ignore what Gilbert was doing to do the moves he wanted to do including the lead into the finish. The strikes were bad everything was bad.

The third fall was more laughable trash with the only finish that could possibly happen. The worst match of the year involving wrestlers under 50.

I was thinking about where the match would fall as a hm v motyc but i think you nailed it.

Big Mike had a bit of ring rust it looked like because he wasnt as smooth as he normally is. The first crossface tease looked a bit rough and there was a counter from an okada elbow drop that was messy but i bought into the ending hard. Good match

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
Going to nominate a match I saw live because why not:

MOTYC: Command Bolshoi (c) vs Leon, Pure-J Openweight Championship, Pro Wrestling EVE “She fights on Saturday”, 9th March 2019

Might be some live bias here but I thought this was fantastic: a match between a Legend who can still go and an incredibly good opponent working very hard led to a very good match. I’m sure they’ve had better in Japan but honestly I don’t care; it’s the best live match I’ve ever seen. Was going to go HM but gently caress t, I doubt that it’ll get the votes so let’s increase the chance that it makes the HM list.
