Literally every single match on the main card qualified for the categories they were nominated in, with the only exceptions being the final two matches which are sitting close and will surely get the required votes soon. That may be the best non-NXT card in North American wrestling we have seen in YEARS, and even the NXT cards generally only have 4-5 matches on them.

I'm probably guilty of expecting too much based on their first match, but I still thought it was really good.

Cool. I just have other stuff to do this Sunday and four hours is about the max I can dedicate to this. Maybe I can skip some entrances.

Anyway, just bought it on FITE and am hoping the VOD is online soon :)

Edit: It's up on FITE now for anyone interested!

It is nice for people to do that but I'm not gonna make it a rule or anything.

If you're coming into a thread whose entire purpose is putting in nominations for matches for shows that have aired and talking about what it was that made that match work for the nominator, you have to be aware there is a risk of being spoiled.

There are times I come in here to nominate a match from one promotion I watch and see results from another promotion i watch but haven't seen yet. I don't mind seeing that myself but I'm much more of a journey type than a destination type.

I think this thread and all threads should work the same as the spoiler thread: once it’s aired it’s not officially a spoiler anymore. Like it’s considerate to not openly post about a surprise, but it shouldn’t be an official rule at all. Which J-Ru seems to agree with so this is all a moot point.

Watch more Dragon Gate y’all.
