Grozz Nuy posted:HM: Katsuyori Shibata vs. Tomohiro Ishii, NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10 1/4 Seconded, this was great fun (and sometimes terrifying) but not quite on the level of the two matches that followed. Bard Maddox posted:MOTYC: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. AJ Styles, Wrestle Kingdom 10, 1/4/2016 Nthed, this was an amazing display from two of the best wrestlers in the world. The fact they're both suffering from major back problems makes this even more remarkable. Bard Maddox posted:MOTYC: Kazuchika Okada vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi, Wrestle Kingdom 10, 1/4/2016 Nthed, an out-of-this-world display from arguably THE two best wrestlers in the world. The ending sequence/false finishes culminating in Okada FINALLY beating Tanahashi at the Dome was one of the greatest wrestling things I've ever seen, enhanced all the more by the fact I was actually there as it happened.

ParanoidInc posted:this is me but with like the the last 3 matches of WK10 where each one I said "I have no idea how they're going to follow that up" It was only when we got to the third to last match when I realized,"Holy poo poo there's not going to be an intermission.... and I don't care let this night last forever!" So glad I was there live, what an amazing experience.

Thauros posted:MOTYC Gonna go with this over HM too because the spectacle of it was enough to eke it over the edge for me. This is the kind of over-the-top nonsense I love from wrestling, but it also managed to further multiple storylines and set up multiple feuds going forward. It was a pretty drat excellent example of booking.

CapnAndy posted:Is there a Match Of All Time category, because I seriously don't think I've ever seen anything on the level of Zayn/Nakamura. Anything, anywhere. Nakamura/AJ at WK10 is great, and Tanahashi/Okada at the same show is the best match I have ever seen live and a stronger contender for the best match I've ever seen in my life. Not to take anything away from Nakamura/Zayn because that was amazing.

I'll say HM for KUSHIDA vs. Will Ospreay, though I think it's got the nominations for MOTYC already. Nothing else on the card really topped that, but it was a good show all around and every match was a pretty good watch. The title match itself fell a little flat with the new guy reveal I though, but it's opened up a range of possible new matches going forward and I loved Naito's promo/actions afterwards.

HM to Naito vs Ishii at NJPW Wrestling Dontaku. It was building really well and they had a great submission sequence going that got wrecked by a badly executed ref-bump, and it took them awhile (for me) to recover the flow of the match. Final stretch was really good though, a hell of a match for both guys.

Cabana was really over with the crowd being it was in Chicago. Taeler Hendrix interfered and Nigel McGuinness and ref Todd Sinclair ejected her and McGuiness dragged her to the back. Cabana had Lethal in the Billy Goat's curse when Hendrix came back out and dragged Sinclair out of the ring. The Bucks came out, seemingly to superkick Hendrix for interfering, but she moved and they nailed Sinclair. But then they nailed Hendrix.

Still catching up on Dominion, but giving HM nominations to Shibata vs Nagata and Omega vs Elgin. The latter in particular was a glorious clusterfuck of over-the-top American gimmickry.

Adding my unnecessary endorsement to the Sami/Owens match at Battleground as a MOTYC. That final sequence with Sami deciding to do what had to be done was fantastic.
