I think for stuff that's taped for airing we go by air date but if it's just a live show (PWG), it's actual date.

This was just over the line for me for an HM but I'll nth it. Surprisingly good chemistry considering most of the SoCal guys haven't toured AAA, a few things I found aggravating but all and all worth watching.

This makes sense to me. LU is primarily a TV show, so it's fair to count a match orginially aired this year as a 2015 match imo.

The match was totally fine for a throwaway TV match. You can't just nominate every match from a lovely feud because the feud sucks.

If a 1-1.5 star match is the bar for wmoty, just nominate 80 percent of wwe tv matches. It wasn't that bad.

"And the DICK?"

I feel like a match really needs to have something extra to be a WMOTY contender. Trying to pin someone on their stomach, for example.

When God invented Lycra, he was thinking about Divas matches.
I personally learned my lesson with this when I nominated Ascension's match at the Rumble. It was bad and boring, but compared to how damaging the booking of the Rumble was later on and how it actively worsened the product, there's a big difference between Really Bad and The Worst.

NECW was a big reminder that my standards need to be way lower and SSW was a shock to my system that wrestling could really be that bad.
