can I just go ahead and nominate WMOTYC: The Royal Rumble. Was going good then...well, you know what happens I'm sure.

I don't think it's WMOTY caliber. The match up until Roman was brilliantly booked. If Roman turns heel tomorrow, it's one of the best booked matches in a long time.

HM: Braun Strowman v. Roman Reigns, WWE Fastlane 3/5

Frankly I would go MOTYC because no match where BRAUN attempts a Superfly Splash should go below a MOTYC but I think HM is more likely.

I'd agree that MOTYC is a little strong. I'd imagine we're going to see most ratings in the 3.75 to 4.25 range

When DIY got eliminated first it really took a lot out of the NXT tag match. Nowhere close to the level of the other DIY/Revival Takeover matches, imo

MOTYC: Bill Goldberg (C) vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship at Wrestlemania 33

EXACTLY what it needed to be.

Absolutely. The Goldberg return was extremely effective, on the whole. I hated the Survivor Series result at the time, but now love it with the benefit of hindsight.

On the other hand, factoring in the magnitude of it, Roman/Taker was arguably the worst match of all time. Wow.

I'm interested in hearing your argument. The first part of the match was really fun. The middle wasn't anything special but wasn't really that bad to me. The end (and that reversal botch) was bad but that hardly makes it the worst thing ever. Hell it wasn't even the worst match on the card.

The guy who retired Undertaker should have been over. Roman wasn't. The entire thing felt flat. There were several botches, not just the tombstone, including the finish.

If the post-match happened after a four star match, then it would have been the greatest wrestling segment ever. Instead it was flat for me.

I'll go a fourth. Pretty standard stuff before Nakamura came back, but it was great from then on.

I don't understand how it's your unironic MOTY if it isn't an actual wrestling match

How is it less of a match than Final Deletion or literally any Lucha Underground match?

It’s not WMotY being objectively bad, it’s based on wasted potential, poor booking and a poor layout. The Shield reunion and Angle’s return are two of the biggest cards they can play, and they both were overbooked to death.

Kane and Braun should have just had their own segment, and not been part of this match at all.

Miz/Bar vs Shield should have been the match, it didn’t need to be no DQ at all. A regular match would have been better as booked, and better with the addition of Angle. Instead, it’s big moment was a garbage truck.

In a vacuum, that’s not a minus five stars deal or anything, but it was pure poo poo to cap off one of the worst booked months in WWE recent memory.
