Everything I wanted/expected and more. How Tanahashi can still do this at this point in his career blows me away and Kenny, of course, is in his prime and it shows.

Yeah. God drat.

Well, obviously it was weak. It had matches that didn't even get any nominations here.

Do not even ask: Apr 8, 2008

MOTYC
Ibushi vs Ospreay WK13

Not that the other WK matches nominated in the thread were bad or anything but they weren't on the level that these two matches were on.

MOTYC: Barbaro Cavernario vs Dragon Lee, CMLL 1/4 Super Fridays

YOU NEED TO SEE THIS MATCH. It starts off feeling like just a match that's going to lead to a rematch next week and that's what makes it so good. It uses the three falls to actually build to the third fall and the third fall is incredible. I just finished Switchblade vs Skipper and this is better than anything I've seen on the Dome thus far.

Overlooked a bit because of the dome and stuff: this was a very good match that stands up against anything at Wrestle Kingdom.

MOTYC - Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, Sanada, EVIL, BUSHI, Shingo Takagi) vs Suzukigun (Minoru Suzuki, Zack Sabre Jr, Taichi, El Deseprado, Yoshinobu Kanemaru), NJPW, 1/5

A really heated and wild brawl between two factions who are just polar opposites of each other, one side Tranquilo & the other side permanently seething. Thought it was tremendous though it'd have been even better if it was one of the great elimination tags New Japan do a few times a year.
