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.

HM: Kassius Ohno vs Hideo Itami in a No Disqualification match - NXT 9/6 Really fun match with a hot crowd and both guys doing a great job selling each other's offense. It's worth watching just for the low-blow spot.

HM: Kenny Omega (C) vs Juice Robinson for the IWGP US Title at DESTRUCTION in Kobe, 9/24 Not just the first defense of Kenny's US Title, but a rematch of his G1 upset loss to Juice. Here's a shocking revelation for you all - Kenny Omega is an amazing loving wrestler.

That's enough for it to make the list - that's two MOTYCs from a card that a week ago was looking like it was going to be a disaster.

It has enough nominations for both so, unless I'm missing another one, I believe this is the first match this year that has simultaneously been nominated for both Best Match of the Year AND Worst Match of the Year.

HM: Jinder Mahal (C) vs AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at Smackdown, 11/7 Probably the best Jinder Mahal match I've ever seen - whether that's because he upped his game all of a sudden or because AJ Styles carried the entire match and made him look great, the end result was a shockingly good match with a hot crowd and an excellent ending.

I'd say HMs for Almas/Drew and the War Games match, but only because of what an insane year for wrestling quality it has been - goddamn both matches were amazing, and it's a moot point because both have enough MOTY nominations anyway. Another incredible NXT Show, the streak continues.

WMOTYC: Women's Team Raw (Alicia, Sasha, Bayley, Nia & Asuka) vs Women's Team Smackdown (Becky, Nattie, Tamina, Carmella and Nattie) at Survivor Series. Just a complete mess of horrible booking that seemed to actively work against the strengths of the wrestlers and the hopes of the crowd. At least they got the ending right but that was basically the only bright spot.

I'll have a new thread for 2018 up before Wrestle Kingdom and the inevitable 4000 nominations for MOTYCs - anything from 2018 in the meantime can be posted in here and I'll count it towards the new thread when it gets posted.
