Yeah I considered not giving KES v. Bullet Club HM but it had some cool parts and a really awesome looking choke slam.

It was unbelievably bad. Stupid, boring, makes your champ look weak, any number of reasons could be given for why this was awful. Fourthed.

John Cena posted:MOTYC: Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson vs Alex Shelley & KUSHIDA - NJPW The New Beginning Osaka 2/11/14 I won't give it MOTYC since I don't think it was as good as the WK8 4 Way, but I'll give it HM which is what I also gave that match. Fun spotfest, neato near falls, kinda meh finish.

Fourthed. Incredibly exciting match. loving incredible. I had been talking to a friend earlier about how I really loving love Naito's in-ring ability and wish he had more of a character, well he definitely loving showed a character today and while it was sad to see him lose the belt it was also extremely exciting to see a real loving warrior like Ishii finally get gold. Hopefully he has a great run ahead of him, since he's been in some of the greatest matches of the last couple years and deserves the belt. Every single near-fall in that match felt like it could be the one. And yeah, that's MOTY material already, candidacy be damned.

Yeah, it's tough to evaluate Okada/Goto right now, in the aftermath of an instant classic gem like Naito/Ishii. It's PROBABLY a low-tier MotYC match, because I think it's on a level above "nifty tag team juniors match" but it's definitely not as good as Goto/Shibata or even Okada/Naito in my opinion.

Tokyo Slutty Gal posted:MOTYC: Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls vs Yuji Okabayashi & Shinya Ishikawa - NOAH 01/05 I know basically nothing about the participants in this match, but I'll give it an HM, not a MotYC. It was pretty drat entertaining, including some excellent lariats, a couple interesting tag finisher type spots/near falls, and a pretty hilarious body slam spot. Pretty solid 3 3/4 star-ish match.

Flameingblack posted:If you want to watch a really good Women's pro wrestling match from this year, watch Io Shirai vs Natsuki*Taiyo and nominate it for HM. Because it was much, much better and smoother than Paige vs Emma. I'll give this an HM. Wish the video quality was better. Pretty hot crowd, excellent fighting spirit, beautiful moonsaults, a shining wizard, and my favorite move from WCW vs. nWo World Tour for a finisher. Don't have the network yet so my Arrival noms will be late. Deal with it.

MotYC: Ibushi v Okada, Anniversary Show I haven't seen the rest of the show yet, but this match was loving incredible. From the cute little chain wrestling spots at the start of the match to the Ibushisault to the outside I was already excited because it was a fast-paced Okada opening. Then the first Rainmaker reversal happened, and I was loving dumbfounded by how great the lariats looked out of Ibushi. Then everything else was just amazing from that point on. The German was absolutely disgusting.

My War of the Worlds Noms: HM: Nakamura v. Steen Kushida v. Lethal MotYC: reDRagon v. Young Bucks Okada v. Elgin v. Styles I liked Liger v. Cole a lot but I think it's like a 3 3/4 star match, and Bennett v. Tanahashi had way too much Maria-related stuff to be up there for me. Still a very fun card overall. I thought the crowd was actually pretty tame, honestly, they should've been exploding for that triple threat.

Nthing Ishii v. Ibushi NJPW 5/25 Back to the Yokohama Arena as MOTYC and Makabe/Tanahashi v. Shibata/Goto from the same card as an HM and Okada v. Styles from the same card as an HM I will also say that if you scan this thread for recommendations, the opening 8 man tag and the Fale/Naito matches were both very very fun and worth watching even if they don't quite approach HM levels.

To be fair the tag division WAS pretty good for a few weeks last year when it was being given a good amount of focus. I'll say HM for all three of the NXT matches people gave a poo poo about, and I'd consider all 3 on the verge of being MotYC candidates. The insanely hot NXT crowd makes the event into a really fun one for the last hour plus.

I'll Nth Harada-Kotoge, haven't gotten to the other one yet but the match got really loving good around the time they did all the apron stuff and the last five minutes was very fun. I really like Kotoge's offense and loved the way Harada celebrated his early "victory".
