I'm in the same boat as you. Even with Ishii, Okada, Shingo and Ospreay tearing poo poo up in the G1 I can't imagine there will be many, if any matches as good as Okada/Ibushi. That said:

HM: Ortiz & Santana vs. Kenny Omega & Hangman Page vs. Chuck Taylor & Trent vs. Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson, AEW Dynamite 1/15

im really really excited for the NJPW anniversary show JRvsHW match, hiromu vs ~~naito~~ KENTA

MOTY: Kenny Omega & Hangman Page (C) vs. The Young Bucks for the AEW Tag Team Titles - AEW Revolution 2/29

Kenny Omega reminding everybody he's one of the greatest wrestlers on the planet... and he was one of only FOUR incredible wrestlers in this match! What an incredible, incredible match. That Young Bucks stealing the Double V-Trigger spot and Kenny's kickout at one spot was sensational.

HM: The Elite vs. Jurassic Express, AEW Fight for the Fallen 2020, July 15, 2020.

nth this. ftr/luchas was a bit too botchy for me but ending with cleaner kenny going nuts pushed this match into place for me

HM: Moriarty vs Tony Deppen - GCW Homecoming - 07/27

Would I be remiss to nominate two Moriarty matches in a row? It was pretty different from the YUTA match but just as good.

nth, enhanced enough by the story of Moriarity getting his first win to push me to HM

also want to nominate HM: ACH vs KTB - GCW Homecoming - 07/27, glad ach is back :unsmith:

also thought KTB busted out some fun offense, just had fun with it all around

MOTYC: Eric Young (c) vs. Rich Swann - Impact World Championship, Bound for Glory 10/24

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKK

HM this for me. The length & pacing aren't quite to my liking, but there were stretches of fire that were outstanding.

MOTYC: NXT UK Title: WALTER vs. Ilja Dragunov - NXT UK 10/29/20

These two just beat the holy hell out of each other. With Ilja playing the unbreakable underdog and Walter playing the vicious giant role as well as they can. If you liked how personal and violent Nagata vs. Suzuki felt in the New Japan Cup with no crowd and the echoing of chops, this has all of that as well.
