This list would probably get real long for the whole event as it's been great so far, so posting during the intermission.

HM
Sanshiro takagi, Danshuko Dieno, Toru Owashi and Makoto Oishi vs Shinya Aoki, Super Sasadango Machine, Antonio Honda and Kazuhi Hirata
- No words do it justice, has to be seen to be believed GO GO GO GO
Saki Akai and Maya Yukihi vs Saori Anou and Miyako Matsumoto
- Just a real solid Joshi showcase
Chris Brookes, Maki-Itoh and Super Delpfin vs Keigo Nakamura, Mirai Maiumi and MAO
- 2021 definitely needed a Michinoku Pro tribute match. Shame the site broke during the match forcing us to seek...less legal ways to watch the thing we paid for
HARASHIMA and Yuji Okabayashi vs Yukio Naya and Kazusada Higuchi
-Beefy boys doing beefy things

I was going to push this match some more and say we only needed x more people to nominate it but it looks like there's enough votes to get it on the list Jerusalem (forkboy, me, Senerio, fez_machine, sadi faildotter, TTBF, SG Bamboo).

Looks like SG Bamboo edited in they were adding nominations to the match the day after I initially saw their posts, so I thought it was still stuck on 6 and I'd never have known if somebody hadn't told me! Will update now.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
HM: Kushida vs Johnny Gargano from NXT Vengeance 2/14

Flashes of both guys being some of the best Jr Heavyweights in the last 5 years, lots of great spots and near-falls. I'd say it's the best NXT match of the year so far, but NXT style still doesn't hold a candle to the competition anymore, both guys could have put on a MOTY in any other company.

You should still seek it out, I still loved the match but almost every other company gives their wrestlers a lot more freedom to have better matches.

I've still been making time to watch Takeovers but this is the first one in a long while that lived up to their old Takeover standards for me. Didn't really care much for Balor's initial NXT run or time on main roster, but this title reign has been good between tonight and the KOR matches.

Nth. This match was so good I got a Choco pro tshirt out of it! Basically I really enjoyed it but my spouse just went totally apeshit for it and wanted to buy a bunch of their merchandise afterwards. Didn't have shirts in their size so got one for me instead along with a mug and that chocolate package where you get signed pictures of the people in the matches.
