Testekill posted:MOTYC: Lesnar vs Cena vs Rollins Testekill posted:WMOTYC: Royal Rumble 2015 Yup. Talk about loving highs and lows. Gotta say, I do want to talk a bit more about the good with that title match. I marked for a goddamn injury spot after that table hit, and seeing Brock just loving pop back into the ring was one of the best moments since I started watching. I also felt that they finally struck a good "strong but chickenshit" balance with Rollins, having him get hosed up by multiple finishers before bringing J&J into the mix. Just really solid stuff, wish it had gone on longer.

sticklefifer posted:MOTYC: Charlotte/Sasha/Bayley/Becky Fatal Fourway, NXT Takeover Rival I gotta also go with MOTYC instead of an HM because of how good a job they did making it seem like anyone could win that, and how hard I marked for Bayley

HM: Adrian Neville vs. Chris Jericho - 07/04 WWE Beast in the East MOTYC: Kevin Owens vs Finn Balor, WWE Beast in the East (7/4/15) not gonna second the WMOTYC because while that tag was boring it wasn't especially awful in any way. if we had a WMOTYC HM I might nominate it but even then it wasn't that offensive also uh HM: Brock Lesnar vs Kofi Kingston - 07/04 WWE Beast in the East I thought this was a really, really well-done squash match in every way, with Kofi getting to do a bunch of cool-looking moves that were completely ineffective. I know squashes don't usually get much in the way of ratings but I thought this was the best one I'd seen in a long time

MOTYC Katsuyori Shibata vs AJ Styles - NJPW G1 Climax Night 1 7/20 MOTYC Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Kota Ibushi - NJPW G1 Climax Night 1 7/20 I was debating which of these I would give an HM and which I'd give a MOTYC before realizing I loved them both so gently caress it. I'm a huge Styles mark so I was guaranteed to love the first one, but I thought Shibata was great too and I'm really looking forward to the rest of his matches in the tournament. The second match was great because - and I don't know a lot about NJPW so I might have misinterpreted this a bit - it got me super invested in Ibushi as an underdog versus a dude who I guess is Japanese John Cena, but managed to have an Lol Cena Wins finish that I was totally fine with.

HM: Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte, NXT 7/15 Not the best in their feud, but still great, and I'm still scared I will never see a match from these two as good as that again

drat, no candidates for WMOTYC in July? Can't tell if we're not trying hard enough, if no one's paying attention to Raw anymore, or if Wrestling is Good Now (it is not)

Hi, I was there live, here are my definitely not biased takes HM: BAMF/Vaudevillains MOTYC: Banks/Bayley HM: Owens/Balor (also anyone who thinks the crowd was burned out mistook being quiet for being terrified, that was a scary loving match) And here's my WILD CARD, BITCHES pick no one who wasn't there will get behind: HM: Samoa Joe/Baron Corbin

Hi, everyone is going to call me dumb and overexcited and crazy, I do not care MOTYC: Rollins/Cena, Summerslam 8/2 Some absolutely fantastic in-ring action, the best stuff Rollins has done since Mania, good stuff from Cena (other than the usually meh Stunner), an incredibly hot crowd for Rollins, and the best-booked gently caress finish of the last year

if you're going to argue that the gently caress-finish degrades Rollins/Cena to an HM, can I at least argue that the gently caress-finish degrades Lesnar/Taker to WMOTYC

# ¿ Aug 24, 2015 03:59 |

Regardless, I will say HM Cesaro vs Kevin Owens, SummerSlam 8/2 Neither of their strongest efforts, but still a very solid match I felt lived up the potential I was hoping to see

I mean Carmella/Eva and Bayley/Sasha were in the same room a couple hours apart, so yeah I dunno, I wouldn't put Carmella/Eva down for WMOTYC just because it had a surprising amount of heat and I think Carmella's been doing some solid work developing over the last few months.

HM: Seth Rollins vs John Cena, WWE Night of Champions 9/20/2015 HM: Seth Rollins vs Sting, WWE Night of Champions 9/20/2015 The Rollins/Cena match is an easy HM, but the Sting match was also just completely captivating throughout, and I say that as someone who did not give a poo poo about Sting before tonight. He took some amazing, commendable bumps, and if this ends up being it for him, it's a hell of a high note to go out on. Also, I can't really give it an HM due to the rushed finish, but here's a special shoutout for Nikki/Charlotte. It's the best work I've seen Nikki do, with great in-ring storytelling and Charlotte doing some fantastic selling. I usually get annoyed by injury working (see: the Ryback match earlier tonight), but that match was actually really fun to watch because of it. Again, too bad about the rushed finish; if Charlotte had gotten to get some real offense in I'd probably be giving this an HM.
