 the 3 MOTYC off the top of my head from 4/1/2024

Stardom: Mayu Iwatani (c) vs Syuri for the IWGP women's title. Maybe match of the day. Brutal as gently caress, built to an insane crescendo

Stardom: Suzu Suzuki and Giulia vs Maika and Megan Bayne. Insanely great tag. Megan Bayne is getting so much out of her time in Stardom.

NJPW: Danielson vs Okada. Actually had me believing Danielson might win this. Somewhat abrupt ending but fantastic action all the way through.

Have to give a few matches a rewatch.

It doesn't need it but throwing in my own MOTYC nomination for Gabe Kidd vs. Henare at NJPW Road to New Beginning. What an incredible match, and further proof that Gabe Kidd should be the current Bullet Club leader.

This is NXT, right?

What are the titles here, please?

From top to bottom:
High Speed Championship

Stardom ASGQ 27/4/24

MOTYC: Mayu Iwatani v Sareee. This one is an easy nomination. They literally beat the poo poo out of each other. Pretty much the perfect way of doing a "dream match" where it did suffer from a lack of build but the wrestlers are just so insanely awesome that they could drag all the heat into the match.

MOTYC: Saori Anou v Hanan. This had every right to struggle. Saori at times leaves me very cold when she is on top and she can pace matches in a way that drags. Hanan is a 19 year old in her biggest ever match. They had to follow Iwatani v Sareee but they smashed it out the park. It was actually my motn. I think my investment in Hanan through the Cinderella and up to this match probably plays a role in my fondness for this match but they delivered big time.

HM: Maika v Momo Watanabe: This was a really good match but it was let down by the second fall I thought making it fall just a bit short of the other big title matches. I was also really invested in Momo through the first half of the year. Maika continues being a strong champion.

HM: Crazy Star v FWC v 02 line v SLK/Ruaka : A crazy high speed tag team match. Its probably the easiest recommendation because its just bonkers.


Nth to these ones. Mayu/sareee was slightly better than Mayu/Syuri but didn't quite reach Hashimoto/sareee imo. Still an absolutely unbelievable match.
