Based on gifs and videos on twitter I think I can nominate

WMOTYC: Asuka vs Alexa Bliss, 11/18 WWE Raw

Alexa Bliss is very bad and this is one of the funniest block sequences I've ever seen.

I know I am a constant ball of negativity about AEW but I'm just not sure all of these matches are MOTYC. These nominations are very important so I think I can only go:

I'm not really a fan of ChocoPro/GatohMove's ringless wrestling but this was great. I think if I hadn't just watched Shiozaki vs Mutoh and Suzuki vs Fujimoto I might have gone MOTYC on it. It is really good.


Where can I view this match?

ChocoPro matches often feel like they are way longer than they need to be but it'd oddly not a bad thing. Nth.

HM - SWA Undisputed World Women's Title Match: Syuri (c) vs. AZM
Excellent bout by two great wrestlers. AZM once again proves that she can hang with the big guns and is still only 18.

MOTYC - Wonder Of Stardom Title Match: Giulia (c) vs. Starlight Kid
I went back and forth on this, it's a borderline case. Kid is not an opponent they could default to another Passion of the Giulia match with and everything after the Tombstone + Moonsault was absolutely on point, putting it over the line for me.

I will second these matches.

I'll go HM for Archer/Fenix only because I feel like they just missed their peak and were rushing to the finish before going off the air (for a second I thought they were going to a draw to pay off that "TV time remaining" thing they've set up since the beginning of Dynamite and haven't done yet, but then it just ended so oh well).

But only a small nitpick for what was otherwise a fantastic match.

As mentioned they have done it before and it was a taped show so they weren't rushing.

I will second Nyla/Britt for HM and Archer/Fenix for MOTYC.

HM: Nanae Takahashi vs. Momo Watanabe

Two great short matches and very different, one a fast paced opener, while Momo and Nanae just threw bombs at each other in a firey wild match.

MOTYC: Mayu Iwatani vs. Yoshiko

Not quite as good as the best Mayu matches last year but she always manages to look like she's been killed and up the drama. Great stuff

HM: Utami Hayashishita vs. Saya Kamitani

MOTYC: Giulia vs. Tam Nakano

What a perfect main event. Tam has been trying so hard to win the big one and has especially been unsuccessful vs Giulia, and here with everything on the line the ultimate underdog she finally does it. Giulia is great as a bully and Tam is great as the pure hearted babyface, especially afterwards. Also one of the best Steiner Screwdrivers I have seen in years!

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.

If you think this thread improperly rates matches it is unwise to judge whether or not Wrestlemania Night 1 was the event of the year based on how this thread reads.

Nth. The Greek Chorus of interference I think held it back from being a MOTYC but it was well wrestled and had some absolutely stupid spots that I loved.

Matt Hardy's body should really not be put through the kind of damage that would be required to do a match that fun with no interference.

If it ended with the entire Pinnacle beaten down and MJF being threatened with the fork, it'd have been MOTY for me.

Instead, it uh...didn't, and the last commercial break/everything after it was somehow both as much of a joke as the sparklers AND far more boring.

MOTYC: Blood and Guts 5/5. Outstanding match, very heated, very good finish, fun bump at the end. Bloody MJF on top of the cage was a great performance.

Alex Colon was so over all night and the reaction to the finish of the finals was one of the biggest I've ever heard. Effy was maybe the second most over guy of the night which surprised me since going in I thought G-Raver would be.
