MOTY: Shingo Takagi vs CIMA, Dragon Gate - The Final Gate 2015 Wasn't Shingo/Mochizuki good, but still a hell of a match and CIMA's performance alone was worth the nomination. Him pulling out the spirit of all the veterans who fell against Shingo was maybe the biggest mark-out moment of the year for me.

Lots of the Dragon Gate staples plus Mocchy attempting his crazy old man high jump dive. If you don't dig DG style, this might not be for you but I thought this was comparable to the best of the DG 3 ways and 4 ways.

Haven't caught up to Final Gate yet, but I'm surprised I didn't see nominations for this one from early in the month: MOTYC: Dragon Gate - Open The Triangle Gate tournament finals (vacant): Monster Express (Akira Tozawa, Masato Yoshino & T-Hawk) vs. VerserK (Naruki Doi, Shingo Takagi & YAMATO) - Fantastic Gate 12/6/15 With all the talent in this match it's interesting that they used it to showcase T-Hawk so much. He had a few great sequences and took a ton of punishment. So did everyone, really. Yoshino looked fantastic and YAMADoi had some brutal double teams, Tozawa's always a lot of fun and Takagi had some monster offense. After the rest of the tournament it really made the Triangle Gate titles feel important, and MX finally gets a resurgence by beating the otherwise dominant Dream/Twin Gate champs. I've liked a lot of other matches a good deal more this year, but it was a drat good trios match, so I'll say lower-end MOTYC. The previous tournament round matches were all good too, but I don't think I'd put them at HM level except maybe the MX/D.H semifinal the night before.

Basically, Dragon Gate is on par with if not superior to PWG, except nobody watches it because what little free time is left to watch Japanese wrestling that remains after having to watch all the weekly live WWE stuff goes to New Japan.

That's a big mark of quality, when it's still at the fore of people's minds a year later. The 'Silence of the Lambs' effect

I actually preferred Ishii / Makabe to Okada / Tanahashi. Maybe I'm just a sucker for two guys potatoing the gently caress out of each other.

It's Shingo/Mochizuki for this year, the story was executed so well. The first minute in particular is my favorite match start of all time.

I'm torn between Shingo/Mocchy and Ibushi/Nakamura for match of the Year, they're both just so good.

My favorite match of the year was Strong vs Okada but the best match of the year was probably Ibushi vs Styles for the IWGP title.

In the event you're bored, I've been given a MOTY ballot to fill out for VOW, and they do an ordered Top 10 deal. My first draft is here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1so6rcs I still got a day to turn it in, but in my head I'm thinking it's too narrowly focused. There are tons of great matches, stars, and feds I didn't mention: Tozawa, Young Bucks, AJ Styles etc. By all means feel free to critique away, suggest substitutions, etc since I can never think beyond "match I liked" when it comes to this stuff.
