HM: Men's Royal Rumble - Royal Rumble 2018
HM: Women's Royal Rumble - Royal Rumble 2018

Both were good but neither was on the level of Gargano vs Almas.

I'll give a HM to both Volador Jr vs Barbaro Cavenario and Mephisto vs Titan.

e: I would highly recommend Volador vs Barbaro and the only reason I'm not giving it MOTYC is because I'm firmly behind Gargano vs Almas. If that match hadn't happened, I'd be more than willing to give a MOTYC to this one. If you have NJPWorld you should watch it!

When Defy's DEFY X show is released, y'all need to check out the Joey Janella vs Ravenous Randy match. It is bonkers. I'm just gonna post the notes I attempted to jot down between that match and the main event.

Several small dives and lots of slaps to begin. Randy's skin is so pale every slap leaves a bright red welt. Joey did a swanton from the top rope onto the hardwood floor. Put Randy in a chair, went to swanton, hit the chair with it after Randy dodged. Several slams into the chair by both until it was shattered. Joey went into the audience (at least four rows deep) and hurled 9 chairs into the ring. Two nearly hit the ref, who was visibly frightened. Hit randy twice, broke a ceiling light with one. Joey gathered chairs into a pile, put randy on top, went to swanton, got superplexed. Randy's back had a section the size of a fist that was skinned by the chairs. Several more spots revolving around the chair pile. Joey did a coup de grace to randy, who had a chair on him. Randy superplexed joey onto four chairs that were arranged like the ones in the Black vs Cole match. Randy pinned Joey and the place exploded.

It is very definitely a spot match but holy poo poo what a spot match.

e: Lucha Bros vs The Amerikan Gunz was also a good match at the show, but I don't know how much of that is the match and how much is the crowd going wild because the two tag teams weren't announced or advertised. Once the DVD comes out I'll be better able to know, and I'm hoping I can give it a HM because it ruled in person.

e2: Definitely get the DVD when it comes out.

WMOTYC: AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura

I know there are matches that are technically worse but I partially judge based upon what I've seen the wrestlers do before and the tag and AJ vs Nakamura were both way below what was expected of them.

How on earth is Roman v brock HM

I think it was a good match that was doomed from the start to have no one care about it. I think a lot of people are going to overlook or have outright disdain for it solely based upon who was in it, but I did like the match itself. I don't think a better crowd would have pushed it to a MOTYC, but it would have pushed it from a weaker HM to a strong HM.

HM: Shane Strickland vs Austin Aries for the Impact and DEFY titles, DEFY Vibes, 4/13th

Great match with a crowd that can be best described as molten. I'm fairly sure this one will be on Impact so y'all can actually see it. I have no idea why the Janela vs Randy Meyers match I mentioned in February still isn't available.

Shouldn't we have a default rule that "3 MOTYC/HM mixed qualifies for HM" so we don't have to worry about people lowering their votes? Just vote your heart!

That's not how it works? I've been operating under the assumption that 3 MOTYCs and 0 HMs meant it got put on the HM list.

It's almost undoubtedly going to be DragonGate or All Japan due to the quality of matches and the lack of eyes on those products compared to many of the larger promotions worldwide. I'd like to watch them but I don't have the money to be signing up for so many streaming services.

You should check out Kay Lee Ray vs Meiko Satamura and Sammi Jayne vs Charlie Morgan, both from Pro-Wrestling:Eve's WrestleQueendom. Aside from being really good matches, the crowd was extremely hot for nearly the entire show. There's a spot in the Jayne vs Morgan match that is incredible.

Sorta? The crowd sounds like an actual sports crowd to me, which means an incessant buzzing noise unless they're so bored they're quiet. i can tell when they're uniformly happy or mad about something but at other times you have to judge the audience reaction by how loud (or quiet) the buzzing is.
