MATCH OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE SHINSUKE vs IBUSHI WK9

I don't give a gently caress if every other person on this forum has already nominated it, that was the loving best and I'm going to nth it,

Personally I don't get how people can nominate multiple matches from a single show as match of year candidates normally.

In this case, this was my favourite match from a great night of wrestling, and what will be remembered as a candidate for match of the year.
