HM: Drew McIntyre (C) vs. Keith Lee for the WWE Championship - Raw 1/4

This was a really, really good match and a reminder that WWE has some really loving good guys on their roster and should stop getting in their way and let them wrestle.

my first vote in here

MOTYC: Kenny Omega (C) vs. Rey Fenix for the AEW World Championship - AEW Dynamite New Year's Smash Night 1 - 1/6

Absolutely loving incredible. Fenix is sensational and Kenny Omega keeps up with him every step of the way. Their in-ring chemistry is out of this world, they work so incredibly well together.

HM: Top Flight vs Chaos Project, AEW Dark January 12 2021

An excellent blend of Chaos Project's comedic energy with Top Flight's smooth as silk offense. Everyone did their job brilliantly here.

HM: Hardy Party vs Sydal Flight, 1/20 Dynamite

Don't let JR's grumpiness and little botches distract you from the fact that this was a very intertaining match that showcased Top Flight's skills and really moved the Hardy Party storyline forward.

HM: Kyle O'Reilly & Finn B�lor (C) vs. Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch - NXT 1/27

aggressive, fast, and stiff. a real good match with lots of drama interspersed. oney and danny have been great workers the past year or so. not the best finish but kyle's past three matches have been awesome
