MOTYC: Zack Sabre Jr. vs Yujiro Takahashi G1 Climax 31 07.06

ZSJ continues to perform at the very top level of human pretzel-twisting, and Yujiro did hold his own to make this a real good match.

E: You know what, Yujiro actually overperformed to such a degree that I think it puts this one over the top to MOTYC territory.

Nthing this.

One of the best multi-man tags AEW has done (and that's saying a lot).

A great match that made Deeb look like a complete killer AND let her be a spoiler heel.

And a ladder match where EVERYBODY looked great and Hangman did some of the most impressive stuff he's ever done (including getting Jon Moxley booed for trying to win the match).
