As we bid farewell to 201 HOW THIS THREAD WORKS Again, the purpose of this thread is to compile a list of the best (and worst) matches of the year. If you see a match and think it is absolutely tremendous and deserves to be on the list, give it a nomination for Match of the Year. FOUR people need to vote a match for MOTYC for it to be added to the list. If you see a match that is just absolutely pure poo poo and deserves to be looked at as one of the worst things anybody will see throughout the entire year, feel free to give it a nomination for Worst Match of the Year! THREE people need to vote a match for WMOTYC for it to be added to the list. THREE people need to vote a match for HM for it to be added to the list. Oh, also: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN HMOTYC OR TVMOTY. PLEASE DO NOT NOMINATE ANYTHING WITH THOSE TITLES. THEY WILL BE IGNORED. HELP ME OUT I like to update monthly. Here is an example of how I put things on the list for a 6 man tag match: Wrestler A, Wrestler B & Wrestler C vs. Wrestler D, Wrestler E & Wrestler F - MM/DD Promotion: Name of Show I like to type out every participant unless it's a Royal Rumble. Sometimes some people will nominate something like "THE SHIELD VS. TEAM BRYAN" --- I know who the Shield are, but I probably won't remember who TEAM BRYAN is in this case. If you can type out the names that'd be rad. Also please give me the Show it was on and the Date. Those are really insanely helpful. Lastly, a couple of points of emphasis: - Please restrict yourself to only nominating matches that you yourself have seen. You don't need to have seen them live, but please don't nominate a match because you heard it was really good, or expect that it will be really good. Similarly, at least give Ryback vs. David Otunga a chance before you start throwing WMOTY nominations at it. - Also, please don't try to "veto" someone's nomination. If I think the 75th Antonio Cesaro vs. R-Truth match was grappling perfection and give a MOTY nomination, you can feel free to call me crazy or stupid, or even nominate that same match for WMOTY. But your nomination for WMOTY doesn't cancel out my nomination of it for MOTY, and neither of us can "veto" the other one. oatgan fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Jan 27, 2016 |
