I'd call it an HM myself. Emotionally it hit all the right notes and there were some great moments, but I can't classify it in that upper echelon of matches I've seen already this year (less than a month old!). Definitely a really enjoyable match well worth seeing though.

Agreed on the HM. Definitely worth to go out of your way to watch it, but not Gargano-Ricochet or Ibushi-Ospreay level.

The hell with it, nthing this one. Yes, it doesn't have the background and story like most MOTYCs, but I had big smile on my face for the entire match and loved the hell out of it, so, yeah, MOTYC.

HM: Toru Yano vs. Colt Cabana, NJPW New Japan Cup Day 8, 3/17
MOTYC: SANADA vs. Minoru Suzuki, NJPW New Japan Cup Day 8, 3/17

The first was hilarious and tremendous fun. The latter was a loving war and both guys came out of it looking like enormous badasses.

Yup

HM: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Switchblade Jay White - Best of the Super Juniors Final - 6/5

The best match these two have had so far. I had forgotten what a scumfuck piece of poo poo rear end in a top hat gently caress Jay White could be.

Yes

MOTYC: Juice Robinson (C) vs. Jon Moxley for the IWGP US Heavyweight Championship - NJPW Best of the Super Juniors Final - 6/5

It was a mess, but an absolutely beautiful mess and both guys were incredibly committed to getting the most out of it as possible. To the point of being legitimately concerning at times. It's carried over to MOTY status for me by the significance of the participants, but even without the circumstances of Moxley's signing it would still be an incredible match.

Hell yes!

MOTYC: Will Ospreay vs. Shingo Takagi - NJPW Best of the Super Juniors Final - 6/5

Absolutely loving incredible from start to finish.

Holy loving poo poo, yes!

MOTYC: Amazing Red vs. Will Ospreay Super J Cup 8/22

Red's still got it.

Very belated Nth to this match. Some spots were a bit off, but for a guy who is semi-retired and has had the serious injuries he had, he still is pretty loving Amazing, and Ospreay just always delivers.
