MOTYC: Kenny Omega vs. Sammy Guevara, AEW Dynamite, 25/03 Going with MOTYC because in the context of an empty arena show at a time when the world is absolutely hosed they crushed it. Can't wait for when they have a proper series together once we're back to normal.

MOTYC: Kenny Omega vs. Sammy Guevara, AEW Dynamite, 25/03 The circumstances being what they are, I agree that this was MOTYC-worthy.

Of course for Aja that was probably a shoot.

The New Japan shows all being canceled (including what would have likely been the greatest New Japan Cup of all time) means that AEW has now equaled New Japan with the most MOTYCs so far this year, the first challenge in years to their rock-solid grip as the top MOTY generating promotion on the planet.

Well, when they come back all they have to do is send out Ishii to rack up them MOTYC:s and they should be safe.

MOTYC: Mei Suruga vs. Hiroyo Matsumoto - Gatoh Move Day of Happiness (3/20) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8yUT-m-VSA This might be one of the last big matches I got to see in person for a while but it was a very good one to go out on. Mei getting frustrated at how tall Hiroyo is and trying to lengthen her arms with the ring ropes was an all time great spot one minute in and it got better from there. HM: Baliyan Akki vs. Yasu Urano - Gatoh Move gtmv 42 (3/22) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjULi_NmI8E You can probably hear me laughing through this one. I introduced my friend to pro wrestling with this show (she knew of it through Hana Kimura in Terrace House) and I think this match made a fan for life. The galaxy brain spot halfway through where they wrestled under the mat elevated it to a classic.

In 2016, Ishii had singles matches against: Shibata (in January and February, both 4.5 from Dave and above 9 on cagematch) Roderick Strong (4.25, 7.88) Cedric Alexander EVIL (two in March) Naito (in March and May, both 4.5 from Dave and above 8.5 on cagematch) Bobby Fish Moose Will Ferarra Josh Bodom Tenzan Goto Fale Naomichi Marufuji (no Dave rating, 8.08) Tama Tonga Hiroshi Tanahashi (4.75, 8.78) Kazuchika Okada (5 stars, 9.66) SANADA Makabe Chris Hero (4.5, 9.08) Pete Dunne Chase Owens Even looking at that list and seeing useless stiffs like Will Ferarra, Tama Tonga, and Naito in there, I'm surprised he only had three MOTY candidates.

I could be mistaken, but I think it's Kenny Omega.

Kenny has nine this year so far. Kenny Omega individually has almost twice as many match of the year candidates than WWE.

Yeah it's Kenny. Hangman is second but all of his MOTYCs are teaming with Kenny.

Naito, Okada, and Omega also have the odd distinction of each having got two MOTYCs on different dates at the same arena (Naito and Okada at Tokyo Dome, Omega at Daily's Place. This is relatively uncommon for American promotions who don't have a Korauken Hall.

HM: Natsuko Tora vs. Giulia from Stardom Cinderella 2020, 3/24 The tournament is all short matches but most of it is pretty fun and the first round is free on youtube. Just keep in mind that you can win via over the top rope eliminations too! Was kind of bummed that Tam Nakano seemed off in the tournament.
