MOTYC: Kazuchika Okada (C) vs Kenny Omega for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship - Dominion 6/11

Even if it wasn't the ending I wanted, what an incredible loving match and it did NOT feel like the match was as long as it was. I mean that in a good way. The best way.

nth. best match I have ever seen, and that includes January 4th. Holy loving poo poo that was incredible.

Normally I'd agree, but holy poo poo that three-count botch there spoiled it. That should've been 4-4 sudden death.

Seeing as this is the Match Recommendation Thread, my personal favorite match of last year and probably the single best match I've ever witnessed with my own eyes was finally uploaded to YouTube (they wanted to make a DVD of the event but I guess that's not happening) and I just REALLY want to recommend people watch it if you have the time:

Valentine (c) vs King Kong Karhula, Talvisota X, 2016

https://youtu.be/Lzqmnz7tYo8

This was a drat good match. I do like powerhouse vs. technical dude matches, and they were both super good at their roles. (Also, more folks need to use Genesis by Justice as an entrance theme.)

HM: Asuka (C) vs Ember Moon for the NXT Women's Title at NXT TakeOver Brooklyn III

The callbacks to prior matches, the false finishes, the selling. This was a hell of a match.

nthed, amazing match but gdi this was the same year as Cena/Styles III, Roman/KO II, Nakamura/Roode II, Bate/Dunne II and the AoP/DIY/Revival triple threat, to name a few, so this was not on the same level

So Discovery Wrestling just put up their show from April with the main event of The Elite vs. BT Gunn, Joe Coffey and Lewis Girvan up on YouTube. You can see it here, and I highly recommend it since it was easily the best wrestling show I've ever been to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s-AKjv5_OE In particular, I'd like to highlight a couple of amazing matches:

MOTYC: Marty Scurll vs. Will Ospreay, Discovery Wrestling - The Elite, 4/12 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s-AKjv5_OE&t=2130s)

Utterly incredible match that had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Both wrestlers put up an incredible performance, and I'd never seen any of Scurll's work before but it seriously convinced me to look up his other matches. I love him now. Ospreay was his usual flippy self, and just as well. I'd say it's better than the BOTSJ match, which was super good as a character piece introducing Scurll to Japanese audiences, but wasn't as good as an even-handed wrestling match than this one.

HM: The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) vs. BT Gunn, Joe Coffey and Lewis Girvan, Discovery Wrestling - The Elite, 4/12 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s-AKjv5_OE&t=5738s)

Wonderful match. Three of the best wrestlers in Scotland against the second best wrestler in the world and the actual best tag team in the world. I really want to see them here again.

MOTYC: Joe Coffey vs. Lewis Girvan, 2/3 Falls Match, Discovery Wrestling 3rd Anniversary, 9/16

Maybe it's just because I was there but holy poo poo, that was quite possibly the best match I've ever seen live, and Coffey's promo afterwards just loving made it so special. Incredible.

Idk I think they both worked pretty hard in the matches, they just never clicked

this, idk what their matches were like before they joined the WWE but their WWE program together was just kinda average

like, the Summerslam match was probably the best of the lot, but when KO/Shane was better than any single AJ/KO match, it's just...idk
