The finish was good, but the five or so minutes of Sydal dying, fireworks making me laugh harder than the Swole/Baker match, and Darby dying really killed it for me, and I thought the work before was all right but not amazing.

I guess I just reserve WMOTY for matches that were actively terrible not good matches with two or so bad spots.

Well it's now in the OP as one of the few matches to be successfully nominated as both a MOTYC AND a WMOTYC

really it's for the best, this will get the maximum amount of eyes on Brian Cage being a badass flying mammoth and Darby Allin dying

That's fair. I usually do too, but those spots were so atrocious that they blew the match for me.
