If I've counted correctly then as of now YOSHI-HASHI, out of all possible people, has as many MOTYC noms as the entire WWE main roster put together.

Now this is not meant as a diss on The Hash, but loving lmao forever.

He'd have more if people hadn't been cowards about nominating the Juice and EVIL matches :colbert:

GEORGE W BUSHI: Jul 1, 2012

The EVIL match not getting love and even a WMOTYC vote is baffling to me. That match was one of the best of the tournament.

HM: Yuya Uemura vs Yota Tsuji G1 Climax 14.10

Nth. I'm gonna go a step further than wanting this format for future G1s. I think every show should have a YL singles match to start off, same rotation concept. Do it.

Cerebral Bore posted:

HM: Juice Robinson vs. Zack Sabre Jr. G1 Climax 14.10

Nth. Would have probably gone MOTYC except for the botch.

MOTYC: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. SANADA G1 Climax 14.10

Nth, Tana is telling the story of his decline brilliantly.

Nth, and same. I think where I've landed is that I think the wrestling is better in the G1 but I enjoy the stories more in AEW.

HM: Kazuchika Okada vs. Will Ospreay - NJPW G1 Climax 30 Night 17 16/10

Was an easy MOTYC until the ending which was really weird (not necessarily bad, just weird) which took the wind out of the sails a little bit.

TriffTshngo: Mar 28, 2010; Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.

G1 Climax Night 17 [10/16]
MOTYC
Kota Ibushi vs Taichi - This is one of those matches where I just couldn't stop smiling. loving watch this match.
Jay White vs Tomohiro Ishii - I feel like this one kind of speaks for itself. A+++.

HM
Shingo Takagi vs Minoru Suzuki - Yo I heard you like it when a human slab of beef and The Scariest Man On The Planet crash into and scream at each other. Could've definitely used 6 or 7 more minutes, I'd assume they want to save a bit for the NEVER title match that's probably coming.
