Junpei Hyde posted:Oh, if we're putting our 2017 MOTYC noms in here then here we go: I liked these two so I'll second and I'd also add an HM: Wolfgang vs. Trent Seven. There was nothing on San Antonio that I'd recommend going out of your way to see but DIY/AoP was pretty cool and Nakamura/Roode was good if you like slow paced old school stuff and you don't mind NXT's habit of using lengthy medical check spots.

Venomous posted:HM: Juice Robinson vs. Hirooki Goto, NJPW The New Beginning in Sapporo, 02/05 Thirding this. Mostly for the same reason Jerusalem did. Seeing Juice pull that match was awesome for me, having not seen him since NXT other than his match with the world's least interesting wrestler, Cody Rhodes. I'd go HM for Okada/Suzuki as well. I wouldn't say it was better than any of the four big title matches from WK or Cena/AJ but still worth checking out.

Wazzu posted:Who the hell thought Dolph Ziggler ... was a good idea, though. Fixed for brevity And I don't know if it's good enough for me to give it a HM nod, which probably suggests it isn't, but I'd recommend people check out Trent Seven vs. Tyler Bate from the most recent episode of NXT. I know a lot of people have soured on the weekly NXT product a lot so might not have seen it but it was a really good match and I'm sucker for matches between friends that start off all friendly and get more serious.

Same as my recommendation from last week, if you don't watch NXT check out Pete Dunne vs Mark Andrews. Not as good as their UKCT match but still worth a watch. If WWE gets a UK show going, it should easily be their best in terms of match quality.

Just caught up with the two shows. HM: Shibata/Sabre Jr. HM: Okada/Tiger Mask W HM: Neville/Gallagher WMOTYC: Owens/Goldberg DJExile posted:plus what else are you gonna do with Goldberg? If you're that committed to putting him on TV/PPV that's about all you can do at this point. Dude's 50 years old. If he's not capable of doing more than 20 second matches, maybe just let him squash nobodies and not put the title on him. How many more network subscriptions will Goldberg/Lesnar for the Universal title do vs. just Goldberg/Lesnar, anyway?

Jerusalem posted:I've updated the second post with February's nominations as far as I can tell. I haven't counted where people have just talked in general about the match without saying if they think it is Match of the year/Worst of the Year, an HM etc - if I've missed or miscounted anything let me know. I think you missed Naito/Elgin. It got four nominations, I think that's the minimum?

I thought about it overnight and I want to nominate HM: KUSHIDA/Hiromu Takahashi It was funny as hell and nothing amused me so much in wrestling as Brock/Goldberg from Survivor Series. Plus I'm fast becoming a Hiromu mark and watching him merk KUSHIDA was awesome. By the way, Okada is currently averaging 5.167 stars in title defences for this reign, 4.75+ for this match will keep him above 5 and 4.5 would put him dead on 5.

Junpei Hyde posted:Imean if you'regonna compare omega to someone, who was the hot gaijin wrestler of that period? in AJPW? Johnny Ace! Hell, they even have the same number of 5+ star matches. It's the perfect fit. Can't wait to see Big Kenny bringing people power back to Monday Night Raw in 20 years.

Also HM: Satoshi Kojima vs Juice Robinson I loved the student vs mentor story. I bought the near falls and I didn't expect it to go down the way it did. Also both guys are really cool and good. And I loved the part in Suzuki/Omega that some of you hated. Suzuki looking like a straight up horror movie monster was the best part though.

MOTYC: Omega/Okada HM: Elgin/Juice Maybe I'm biased because I love Juice but that was a really really good match that continued to build Juice into a top level contender. Especially the fact that Elgin felt the need to try a Burning Hammer to put Juice away.
