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.

Really good, seconded

Nth. Folks are sleeping on the Lance Archer vs. Kingston match. It was great too!

The TNT feed cut out for a lot of people, myself included, during that match, which might be why.

The best way to rate a match is "how much of this match did I spend on the edge of my figurative seat" and by that metric, Shaq and Jade vs Cody and Velvet gets a 4/5, with an extra .5 added because I went HOLY poo poo when Shaq did the table bump.

I think Dynamites match reactions are overrated and people are too liberal with hm's and even moty's. Theres good matches but this thread reacts to every Dynamite like its a NJPW PPV so irs a quantity v quality argument scale.

Part of that is that HMs are literally meaningless and being concerned about what qualifies something as an HM beyond "yeah that was pretty fun" is a waste of time and being concerned about what makes something an MOTYC beyond "yeah that was more than pretty fun, that was very fun" is as much of a waste unless you're very reliant on the MOTYC list for your year end voting in which case just keep a notebook of your own favorite matches and you'll be better served.

I can't go any higher due to the very poorly placed commercial breaks and the...underwhelming finish.

Yeah this is about where I'm at. I'm very interested in AEW's second shot at this match type because all the in ring stuff in the timed entrance portion was fantastic, it just kind of lost steam when they were clearly in the part of the match where they were waiting to do the finish.

A very solid match, enhanced by being in front of a live crowd. The Blonds are getting better week by week, and The Chaos Project’s schtick was over with the live crowd. Julia Hart does a great job interjecting herself into the match and the pairing of her with the Blonds has been very complementary so far.
