The UK Tourney was great, loved the ending. Really recommend watching both nights or at the very least all of night 2. They set the stage really well for an ongoing show.

Just a reminder that this thread is intended to serve both as a recommendation thread for pre-2017 stuff as well as a place to put up your nominations for what you believe to be the Match of the Year for 2017, the Worst Match of the Year for 2017, as well as honorable mention of 2017 matches you think people should go out of their way to watch. Nominations work the same as they always have before - MOTYC needs four votes to be added to the list, WMOTYC needs three votes, HM needs three votes. Try to add a little explanation/discussion of what you're nominating too (this is not a rule, I'd just prefer it is all!). This is a discussion thread as well so feel free to talk about your picks and other people's picks - and remember you can freely recommend any pre-2017 match you like whether it's great or terrible.

Stanfield posted:HM: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Bobby Roode - NXT Takeover: San Antonio, 01/28[/b] I'll second the latter because I really enjoyed the final few minutes and especially enjoyed how they handled the finish. The whole show was full of good but mostly unremarkable matches really, it felt like a very lowkey show compared to previous Takeovers.

I'll second that if only because I want more people to know how much Juice has improved in New Japan and how cool it is to see him slowly working his way up from nothing. It felt like he belonged in there with Goto.

HM: Kazuchika Okada (C) vs Tiger Mask W for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, NJPW 45th Anniversary Show. Okada's had better performances this year but that's only because he's legit one of the best wrestlers on the planet (if not THE best). The momentum shifts and false finishes are a familiar thing in his matches but don't make it any less incredible how he manages to get me into the flow of the match, and the post-match shows of respect were really nicely handled. Venomous posted:HM: Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Katsuyori Shibata, NJPW 45th Anniversary Show, 3/6 I'll second that, if only for the ending/big surprise which I think is really worth seeing.
