I'm going to give this an HM because while the ring work is great, not knowing All Out left me lost at times.

I've tallied up all the MOTY and WMOTY votes to this point:

Super Raton, Super Muneco and Super Pinocho vs. Rocky Santana, El Gallego and Romano Garcia is one vote short of being the first match to successfully hit the WMOTY threshold, if anybody was holding out on voting.

I'll take that vote

MOTYC: Titan vs Barbaro Cavernario, 2/22 CMLL

WATCH THIS ONCE THE VIDEO IS ON YOUTUBE!

I like how Titan does the Miz lariat but goes all the way to the floor

Also seconded in case it hasn't reached moty yet

MOTYC:
Ishii/Nagata

HM:
Ibushi/Naito - it's probably already MOTY but jeez this was kind of disappointing. Ibushi is always on his game but everything just seemed to not connect right, so you had all these parts where Naito was noticeably fumbling to get the spot right and it really detracted from some really fun spots.
ZSJ/EVIL
Liger/Taiji
Tana/Shota

E:
HM for Juice, Finlay, and Tracy Williams vs Best Friends and Rocky Romero from New Beginning USA

WMOTYC- Kelly Klein/Mayu Iwatani, ROH/NJPW GT Supercard

Just a stunningly bad performance from Kelly

MOTYC: Jay Lethal vs. Matt Taven vs. Marty Scurll, G1 Supercard 4/6

This is gonna be a really divisive match and I get why but this was really good and they worked their asses off.

I'll say HM, they put a lot into it but there was some poor coordination going on for the early going.

SCU are a very good tag team and Lucha Bros are the best tag team on the planet, so no surprise, this was good!

Second, hopefully this is where the show kicks into gear

I'm trying to figure out which match has the most potential to gently caress it up for him and I guess it's either Yano or Goto if Goto has one of his weird off days. Everything else is pretty much a guaranteed banger.

Imagine a Yano/Ishii match not being amazing

Ibushi beats Tana, Fale, Okada and Archer, loses to ZSJ, ends at 12, losing to Will via tiebreak if Will runs the table from now.

How would Will win a tie, he lost his match with Ibushi
