2nd. Very entertaining match, but all of them had better matches., even against each other. Probably cut a little short due to time constraints.

Not that's it's needed, but definitely Nthing the MOTYC vote for a casket match that actually involved the use of said casket in more ways than the usual WWE style of "slam opponent's head into casket and not much else".

Gonna third the HM for RPG Vice vs Bucks, and second the HM for Okada vs Fale, which was about as good a match as you can possible get out of Fale, and HM for AJ vs Ibushi. What happened was good, but it felt like it could have been so much more.

HM: Kyle O'Reilly vs. Ryusuke Taguchi NJPW BOSJ 5/30
- Very fun match to watch, believable near-falls, both guys mocking each other's mannerisms.

HM: Bobby Fish vs. KUSHIDA NJPW BOSJ 5/30
- I was one the fence about whether this might actually be MOTY-worthy, but Kushida no-selling his 'injured' knee a bit too much had me going with 'only' an HM. Aside from that much like the previous one plenty of believable near-falls and transitions, IMHO the best match in this year's BOSJ so far.

Definitely nthing the HM. Excellent match, but it was pretty much clear from before it even started that it would end with Owens' interference. That, and Cena's sloppy Stunner, keep it from MOTY potential, IMO.

So it doesn't have to make money?
Probably more like it can't even be counted as a promotion.

That said, Lucha Underground is definitely the choice for "Best Weekly Episodic Wrestling Show" or whatever the name of that category is in the Observer awards, because no other show has even come close to providing the constant output of awesomeness that LU has provided.

Nthing the MOTYC for Sasha vs Bayley and HM for Balor vs Owens, everything else wasn't really bad (except Corbin) but not really memorable either.

Balor vs Owens migt've been better if the Womens match didn't happen before it, but regardless, Sasha vs Bayley was easily one of the best matches this year, and really the only thing keeping this match from getting the full ***** is that Bayley stopped selling her injured wrist a few times too often.

Ending was hot turd but an excellent match

Nthing this, though to be fair, a DQ finish was probably the most likely thing to happen. Obviously Balor won't lose the title on a regular TV episode, and similarily they wouldn't have Apollo lose a match so soon and possible clean either.

Superb match, great action, hilarious interactions between wrestlers, and the hottest babyface in the world doing his thing. Everyone loves Cheeseburger.

Thirding, this was very entertaining as hell, even if it was pretty blatant from the get-go that Compton was solely there to go through a table.
