MOTYC: Minoru Suzuki vs. Kazuchika Okada, NJPW Royal Quest (8/31)

I saw this one in person and the match was so good that it took my mind off the fact that I'd tripped up earlier in the evening and completely messed my knee up.

I like SANADA, and think he is capable of greatness (once he does something entirely different with his hair), but I continually feel like I'm being told how good he is rather than seeing how good he is. And if they want him to have a singles run, they need to actually give him a singles run, rather than having him wrestle purely in tag matches apart from losing to Okada every few months.

HM: PAC vs. Michael Oku. RevPro Uprising 15/12

I know not many people will see it but this was just an excellent example of how to put an up and coming babyface over. Oku absorbed everything PAC had without it looking unrealistic. PAC was his usual hardworking, antagonistic self and the ending had everyone out of their seats. Genuinely think that Oku could be one of the next big underdog babyfaces

Nthed. This is on NJPWWorld for those who have that.

HM: Kris Statlander vs Bea Priestley 12/17 AEW Dark

This match is so good. And came right after an exceptionally mediocre Britt Baker match.

Sorry Lamuella, can I confirm if you're seconding?

Apologies, yes, seconding.

Posting here for counting when I make the 2020 thread:

HM: Cody vs. Darby Allin - AEW Dynamite 01/01

Cody is a star and increasingly so is Darby, they have amazing chemistry.

Edit: Count this as a 2nd for Punch's nomination.

Edit Edit: Or not since they changed theirs to a MOTY nod.
