WMOTY: Riho (C) vs. Kris Statlander for the AEW Women's Championship - AEW Dynamite 1/8

A terrible clusterfuck of bad booking. Neither Riho nor Kris are to blame for this dreadful poo poo, they deserved so much better.

Nth. Woeful. The worst thing in AEW so far.

The actual wrestling during the Riho/Statlander match wasn't bad enough to warrant a WMOTY. Brandi and the shenanigans were godawful but there have been worse matches on a weekly RAW that dont even get nominated :shrug:

People expect more from AEW. A stupid loving garbage booking decision souring a match that people were looking forward to seeing and that should've been excellent being considered a WMOTYC is perfectly reasonable, especially since such a match was wasted on furthering a storyline everyone hates. I'm sure parts of the infamous Fiend HIAC match were at the very least passable pro wrestling technically too, but it was the insane booking that made it into the debacle it became.

Absolutely, but the point is, it's often the booking that makes a match bad, not the technical side of it.

Not voting on 2019, but if anyone is a fan of Orange Cassidy comedy, you owe yourself to check out the semi-main event from night 3 of BOLA. They do a lot of fun stuff with him and he's the star of the match.

The finals is a decent, if overlong, triple threat in front of a tired crowd. Just like it is every year.

From Dragon Gate's Open the New Year Gate at KBS Hall 1/11

HM: Open the Twin Gate Title Decision Block B Block 1st Round Match - Masaaki Mochizuki & GAMMA vs. YAMATO and Ben-K

In a match with stakes and this much talent in the ring (and GAMMA), it was bound to be a great match. Kzy/Dragon Dia v. Fuji/Kanda and Hulk/Kazma v. Kai/SMJ were also good matches worth watching, if you're interested in getting a little taste of Dragon Gate before everything kicks of in earnest for 2020 at Korakuen later this week.

It might just be me but wrestling is improved with the dope stainglass window backdrop at KBS Hall.

Which makes Dragongate the 6th company of the year I've nominated for at least an HM and I'm going to watch at least a bit of the NYD Zero1 show to see if Hino Okabayashi is as good as it sounds like it could be, & the Big Japan show should be online in the next day or so, & then the NOAH 4/1 show by Wednesday. Hot start to the year at the very least.

Kohei Sato vs Towa Iwasaki

It's 2 lads beating the absolute piss out of each other in a short but sweet match. Sato is a Hashimoto trainee from way back, Iwasaki is going into his 3rd year and is half the age of Sato but that's not stopping him from laying in those forearm shots.

Two big fellas who run into each other and chop each other and do suplexes and it's very enjoyable. One for Beef fans.

Small warning if you've not seen Hino before, his very prominent outie belly button is distracting.

The whole show top to bottom is great but I especially recommend:
Homicide vs Casanova Valentine
Alex Colon vs Jimmy Lloyd
Eric Ryan vs John Wayne Murdoch (MOTYC)
Shlak vs Necro Butcher (WMOTYC)
Masashi Takeda vs Low Ki (MOTYC)
