MOTYC Shingo Takagi vs. Dragon Lee BOSJ Night 8 23/05

2nd. Different but just as good as Ospreay/Bandido for me.

I liked it even more than Bandido/Billy

Same

I normally give a MOTYC to any match I think is 4.5 stars or so. I genuinely think there were three matches tonight at that standard. Was an excellent show but the mainevent was the match I liked the most.

Is there any reason not to just watch all of BOSJ? Any real snoozers in there?

Not really no even the just a match stuff is enjoyable. And then the main matches hit various levels of highs.

Seriously all 20 people in the tournament look great for their role.

The MOTYC/HM nominations came so fast and furious from the BOSJ tourney - any chance someone (Jersualem?) is keeping a list?

I'd like to go back and watch them but for whatever reason it just seems like an overwhelming backlog.

IceAgeComing: Jan 29, 2013; pretty fucking embarrassing to watch

Big Huski Boi posted:

I've watched every match and I think there's been nothing outright skippable: the stuff that I'd go 2.25-2.5 stars on are quick and fun at spots but a bit messy rather than being outright bad and I'm fine with that in the undercard of a show. The one outright bad match was Scurll-Ishimori since it went too long and was the bad sort of sloppy mess but having only one of those at this point is great!

# ? May 23, 2019 21:01

Big Bidness: Aug 2, 2004

Ren Narita vs Douki and Scurll vs Ishimori are the only matches I've really disliked.

Scurll vs Ishimori was bad plus it went more than 20 minutes. It's begging to be skipped.

Douki does nothing for me. He is quite garbage.

I'd like to go back and watch them but for whatever reason it just seems like an overwhelming backlog.

I track every nomination, those that hit their respective thresholds immediately get added to the first page lists of MOTYC, WMOTYC and HMs. Those that don't I'll keep updated every month or so of how many votes they have (sans any that only got one nomination and no other votes) so people can check out stuff they might have missed.

I really hate that the BOSJ comes at exactly the time of year when I have zero time to watch wrestling (end of the school year). I don't think I'll ever be able to follow BOSJ properly unless I'm unemployed in May for some reason.
