I think the reason why people are nominating it is because they watched the match instead of a GIF

Hence my asking if the incredibly bad gif used as a promotional highlight was in fact a representative sample, given my previous experience with an incredibly overhyped Devlin match

People are praising the punches in this match which is even funnier than the dumb rope spot because the punches look like poo poo

He did that spot once where it made sense in a match against Dunne and because it got a big pop he has to do it in all matches because that's how WWE work.

Either way Nth for MOTY

People not watching Hino vs Okabayashi are loving up too, if just to be weirded out by how prominent Yuji Hino's belly button is and how much less silly than Will Ospreay he looks while wielding a sword.

I mean usually I'd agree but this is the GIF the company has chosen to promote the match and not some random dude on Twitter thinking the dumb spot was cool.

Hey Kevin, is this an HM or a MOTYC nod?

Edit: Also, this year I'll be separating out successful NXT noms from WWE noms purely so I can keep track of the breakdown between the two. You can still add both together for the overall WWE but after last year I'm really interested in keeping an easy track of just how much of WWE's MOTYCs come from NXT as opposed to the main roster.

Prepare for a bunch of recs to come in across the day as I make my way through the 4/1 NOAH show & possibly the 5/1 too.

HM
4/1
Pro Wrestling NOAH NEW SUNRISE
Korakuen Hall, Tokyo
Hideki Suzuki & Kinya Okada vs Kongo (Kenoh & Yoshiki Inamura)

Looking on the card this didn't stand out at all. Okada is just over a year into his career, Suzuki was trained by Billy Robinson (maybe his last trainee?) & started in the weird IGF fed before going freelance. He's in Sugiura-gun and they are in the midst of a feud with Kongo and this match plays off both Okada & Suzuki. Inamura & Okada start, young boy holds his own & then Inamura tags in. Kenoh wants Suzuki but Okada refuses to tag out and wants to test himself against a former GHC Heavyweight Champion. Kenoh has no respect for his strikes but that doesn't stop Okada from trying. Kenoh ends up kicking his head off and winning by KO. There's nothing ground breaking but I'm a sucker for really simple wrestling story telling executed really well (which is why one of my fave matches from 2019 Champion Carnival remains Aoki vs Miyahara, the Junior ace stepping up to take on the Heavyweight ace, the Heavyweight underestimating him and the veteran Junior doing everything he can with that advantage.).

There's at least one other wrestler under 30 called Okada, and Dragongate has an Okuda just for added confusion

Just to clarify Yusuke Okada is the good Okada, then you have Kinya Okada and then some Podunk company has a dude called “Kazuchika Okada” but you probably haven’t heard of him

Was a bit disappointed with this show today, I think I'm starting to turn on the Toryumon team because while they have some great people there are also an awful lot of guys who just need to retire or at least never feature outside of an opening match. Still, this match wasn't hampered by old dudes with nothing left to give and was fun, despite a bit too much in the way of nonsense shenanigans.
