MOTYC: Johnny Wrestling vs Andrade Almas, NXT Takeover Philly

This was imo better than anything at the Tokyo Dome this year and the early frontrunner for moty

nth, who'd have thought the two best matches of the year would be back to back at this one Takeover, God drat

i wouldn't go that far. i really really liked the extreme rules match but i don't think it touched omega vs jericho, or even the other top matches at wrestle kingdom, which was still a better top to bottom show

tbh it comes down to personal preference, and I honestly thought Black/Cole told a much better story than Omega/Jericho, though I loved that too so

I mean I prefer the WWE style of storytelling to NJPW's when it's done well (like Black/Cole and Gargano/Almas), but a lot of the time (mainly on the main roster) the match quality falls so far below the mark for one reason or another that NJPW just blows it out of the water in comparison, so idk, it's a subjective thing

totally fair! not saying your opinion is wrong or anything, i just definitely tend to prefer the new japan style.

MOTYC for Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Minoru Suzuki from night 1, HM for the Young Bucks vs Roppongi 3k from night 2. not the best couple of shows new japan has put on recently. omega vs jay white was technically good but i thought it was too long and jay white is really not clicking with this character in this position. the angle at the end was more enjoyable than the match

HM for both rumble matches. nothing else on the show was worth nominating one way or the other, it was fine.
