I've never seen a PPV where every match was a WMOTYC. That's incredible.

Two matches where you could say "Eh, that kinda stunk, but I wouldn't be THAT offended if I saw that on weekly TV" aren't enough to rescue Heroes of Wrestling from being the worst of all time. But it doesn't sound like anything on tonight's Fed show even reached that level. Like, the vibe I'm getting is "no negative star matches, but nothing above 1.75 either."

It was a pretty boring, by-the-numbers WWE match and I thought they'd turn it up a little. Throw in the Roman soliloquy and the dogshit finish and that puts it over the line for me.

Lane/Blanchard had a lovely finish and Scorpio whiffed the Tumbleweed and got the three count anyway. Though obviously, the real debate would've been between the main and Sheikie/Volkoff vs. the Bushwhackers. maruhkati fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Jan 30, 2022 |

Looks like Wrestlemania in 2019 currently holds that record, with EIGHT successful WMOTYC nominations!  04/07 | Shane McMahon vs. The Miz in a Falls Count Anywhere match - Wrestlemania 35 04/07 | The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal - Wrestlemania 35 04/07 | Women's Battle Royal - Wrestlemania 35 04/07 | Brock Lesnar (C) vs. Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship - Wrestlemania 35 04/07 | Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre - Wrestlemania 35 04/07 | HHH vs. Batista in a No Holds Barred match - Wrestlemania 35 04/07 | Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin - Wrestlemania 35 04/07 | Ronda Rousey (C) vs. Charlotte Flair (C) vs. Becky Lynch in a Winner Takes All match - Wrestlemania 35

Teddybear posted:WMOTYC: Seth Rollins v. Roman Reigns, WWE Royal Rumble 1/29 Nth. Whatever good bits there might have been (Rollins' entrance, Ivory, Johnny Knoxville) were all heavily outweighed by the terrible finishes to the matches. When Bad Bunny gets better booking than anyone in the Rumble not named Brock, we've got a problem. Not that he didn't actually work his rear end off in the ring, mind you, just that we need people besides one of the celebrity guests to be booked that well.

Bobby Lashley, WWE Royal Rumble 1/29 WMOTYC: Men's Royal Rumble, WWE Royal Rumble 1/29 becky vs doudrop and miz/maryse vs edge/beth are innofensive compared to the rest. they had logical booking and a clean finish and the right people won compared to the two title matches and the two rumbles.

DDT Sweet Dreams! ~ Ultimate Tag League 2022 Night 1 ~ January 30th HM Eruption (Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai and Hideki Okatani) vs Akito, Soma Takao, Toi Kojima and Yuya Koroku - Okatani in Eruption is such a funny visual, but he really feels like he's becoming comfortable in his skin. A fast paced 8-person tag that made everyone look good in 12 minutes, can't ask for more than that 37KAMIINA (Konosuke Takeshita and Yuki Ueno) vs DisasterBox (?) (Kazuki Hirata and Shuji Kondo) - More Shuji Kondo in DDT please, he worked really well with the Sauna Boys. Take continues to rule, Hirata got to show off that he's actually a really good wrestler when he's not doing comedy, and Ueno got to hit his old DB buddy real hard and fly around a bunch. Very good stuff Calamari Drunken Kings (Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi) vs DisasterBox (HARASHIMA and Naomi Yoshimura) - Big fan of Harashima and his son, while CDK more than held up their end of it Daisuke Sasaki (c) vs Minoru Fujita - DDT Universal Championship - Would you look at that, a match where Paulie doesn't interfere too much is real good because Sasaki is a real good wrestler. At least when he doesn't forget DDT effortlessly shits on WWE, it's such an easy to watch product. Even the Pheromones match was more watchable than usual since Imanari subbed in for Dieno sticklefifer posted:We don't have a WHM category, and HM has been "hey this is pretty decent, check it out" for a long time rather than an actual Honorable Mention for a Match of the Year Candidate, so it's fine. Yeah for me HM has always been 'check this out if you've got time' and MOTYC is 'make time for this', otherwise this thread would have dried up after the cage match last year if it were people actually thinking it was a new match of the year

A reminder, since I undertook a great deal of scientific research to break down the necessary qualifications for a match to be considered a MOTYC, a WMOTYC, or an HM. I got tenure for this!Jerusalem posted:A match is a MOTYC, a WMOTYC or an HM if you think it is and post the nomination in-thread. That's it. That's all the qualification needed.

Rarity posted:WMOTYC: Women's Royal Rumble, WWE Royal Rumble, 29/01 Nth to both. The last WWE thing I watched before the Rumbles last night was the 2021 Rumble because I do the roulette game with some friends, and even that couldn't make these bearable. No memorable moments, no fun surprises, just plodding boring crap. I don't think I'd even bother next year, they have managed to make the most fun match in wrestling to be extremely bland.

Ziggy Tzardust posted:MOTYC: Gabriel Kidd vs Francesco Akira. RevPro High Stakes 29/01 Come to think of it, a couple more from Revpro High Stakes 29/01 HM: Yota Tsuji vs Shota Umino It's weird being able to say with a reasonable amount of certainty that you're watching a future Tokyo Dome main event. Both guys are super over, they obviously know each other really well and the action was really smooth and told their story well. I'm sure there's better matches to come from these two but it's a nice preview of the future of New Japan MOTYC: Sunshine Machine vs Aussie Open for the RPW Tag Team Titles I've never been as hot on Sunshine Machine as a lot of people in BritWres. Maybe I can't get over the fact that Chuck Mambo looks like he's going to sell me ketamine at a festival. However, this match showed me why they're so highly regarded. I won't go into specifics but it was a real standout performance from them. High Stakes was really good and you should watch it on VOD when it's out
