I don't want this one to fly under the radar but you should all watch ACH/Cedric/Sydal vs Bullet Club. I know no one is talking about it but I will give it a MOTYC nod.

wowee not only did this match own, i qualified for a knee brace at little to no cost courtesy of the Health Alert Hotline

I'll give it a MOTY but I fully expect the next PWG zany spotfest to be just as good if not better.

I think the only likely crazy spotfest (relatively speaking, of course) on this month's PWG card is Monster Mafia/Bucks, since it's the Mafia's debut and they'll want to get as much of their big spots in as possible and of course the Bucks will match them tit-for-tat in that regard.

I'll add my meaningless second to MOTYC for the ACH/Cedric/Sydal vs. Bucks/AJ match, btw.

I've actually never even heard of Monster Mafia before the announcement. I'm excited to see what they can do. I love the Bucks because they refuse to be one-upped, no matter how crazy everything gets.

HM: ECIII vs. Rockstar Spud, TNA Impact 03/12

I didn't expect a Memphis-esque bloody brawl to happen in TNA of all places but here we are. Contrast with WWE grudge matches where they open by grabbing a headlock. ECIII is limited on offense but Spud was so good selling for it and bleeding that it didn't matter. Great heat from the UK crowd. Great post-match too. Some of the execution on stuff was a little off which hurt it for me and Spud's intentionally hokey comeback felt out of place, but it's still right on the border of MOTYC.

WMOTYC: Villanos vs. Psycho Circus, AAA TripleMania 8/9


The wrestling was bad enough, with a bunch of 50-year-olds who can barely move anymore. Things were further compounded by the commentary and production. Matt Striker was the worst version of himself tonight, while Hugo drifted in and out of existence because nobody in the loving arena knows how audio is supposed to work.

It all added up to an intensely unpleasant experience.

Everything about this match was atrocious, so I will nth this.

I feel if Sasha/Bayley and Balor/Owens switched positions on the card the show would have been overall better. Not that it was a bad show though.

I would say that hopefully this is where WWE realizes that women can indeed headline but I don't know what real money matches they have left with women right now.
