HM: Alexander James vs Karl Fredericks. New Japan Strong, August 27.

Nothing flashy, but a superb example of technical combat sports oriented wrestling.

On the other hand, Fuego Del Sol/Miro got MOTY noms and that is almost an insult to matches of the year.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

AEW is polarised by the audience, weekly HM's get MOTY nominees when they won't be remmebered or watched again and just regular bad matches get WMOTY nominees. In the same week both Lucha Bros/Jurassic Express and Hayter/Red Velvet were HMOTY's. The gap between those two matches can be measured in parsecs, just as the gap between Jurassic/Lucha and WALTER/Ilja is that vast. Then again this is all meaningless so who knows. To be not meaningless would need to add more restrictions than "the best match on a show that week doesn't make it an of the year nominee by default nor does the worst match on the show make it worst of all time material" but too hard to enforce.

I'd sooner watch Red Velvet v Hayter again than the New Japan Wrestlekingdom Rumble this year.

I would rather people be too loose with MOTY nominations and increase the chance that people hear about a fun match they may not have taken a chance on otherwise than that they be too strict with it for the sake of preserving the sanctity of the wrestlehut match of the year list.

- A fun twist on the underdog story, as the Goliath here is half a foot shorter than David. Mayu kicks hard and has a vicious moonsault, Lady C weathers the storm and hits a few sweet strikes of her own

Maika vs Takumi Iroha
- Iroha threw some fuckin sweet kicks, Maika absorbed them like a boss
