WMOTYC: Jade Cargill vs Ruby Soho, TBS Title Match, AEW: Dynamite 1/5/22

Factoring the booking of the match in my nomination. It's not fair to judge Jade because she has so little experience and the few matches she has to her name are squash matches but yeah this was rough. They made a miscalculation here.

I don't think Seth/Roman deserves a wmotyc. The finish was terrible but I thought the rest was pretty good.

I imagine they're doing the rematch in San Antonio in a couple of weeks. Not good but I wouldn't call it terrible or anything. In fact I'm calling a steel cage match right now

Arai's best showing yet imo

HM for me. Good but some slow transitions kept it from being great.

Holy poo poo this match, absolute murder and a spectacular ending.

Agreed. A higher level then everything else on a pretty good show. Those two are so good.

Miyu Yamashita vs Juria Nagano
- This is Juria's second match ever, and Miyu has zero sympathy for her. loving brutal


Oh come on! I actually went back to watch this thinking I missed something worth watching. I had a hard time even finding this because of how brief it was. I doubt Miyu's heart rate rose for the match.

Not since someone really hyped up Lulu Pencil/ Antonio Honda have I felt completely underwhelmed at watching a recommended match. At least then I was able to stick Chocopro stuff in the "not worth my time" pile but Miyu is actually good so it won't take much to convince me to watch a Miyu match.

Hm for Suzuki/Joe. Can't go MOTYC for it when I've already seen that exact match recently and the Hiromu/Suzuki match was just better.

Akito vs Joey Janela
- IPPON light tube deathmatch, if you break the light tube you lose the match. The last time DDT did this stipulation was in 2019 for Akito vs Asuka and was my MOTY, and this brought all that same tension without recycling any of the spots from that first match. Track this one down, it's a fantastic example of non-standard wrestling and the creativity it brings

Nth. That was fantastic. There's so much creativity in these matches and the ending was simple yet great.

Tempted to give Jade/Athena a WMOTY, doesn't deserve it but that was a lot of prolonging a feud for a nothing match

HM: The Great Muta vs. Shinsuke Nakamura - NOAH The New Year 1/1

Technically it was rough in parts, but you could NOT beat the atmosphere, Nakamura's charisma, the gravity of the situation (the last match of "The Great Muta"), plus it had an excellent, excellent finish.

It's actually not the last Muta match. The Yokohama Arena show with Sting and Darby is.
