WMOTY La Parka & Pagano vs Dave The Clown & Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. - AAA 3/17

Featuring La Parka hitting Hijo de Tirantes with his dick, Dave the Clown�s mask coming off, two run-ins, other classic Tirantes bits, and also Hijo de Wagner somehow getting a hat in the middle of the match.

Honestly it had a few of the funniest moments but it was also legit 30 minutes long.

Nth, but I'm willing to bet there will be worse this year. AAA might take this nomination as a challenge if they somehow ever hear about it.

There might be dumber matches but it's going to be tough to find a worse match. It's such a nothing match and it goes 30+. CMLL has Puebla lower card matches that regularly go 20+ minutes but even when they are awful stuff at least happens, or the guys are a little more competent at doing nothing. They did nothing, they sucked at it and the match was awful, plus it was overbooked. This is a tough one to top. Even the Copa Triplemania has stuff happening for over half an hour.

MOTYC: ZSJ vs Hiroshi Tanahashi - New Japan Cup Final 3/21

A masterclass in submission work, counters and selling from both competitors. Zack looked great and Tanahashi's selling was absolutely incredible.

Just watched this, seconded

I have to admire how the main events on 205 have actually gotten SOMETHING out of those crowds lately. Before the revamp they may as well have been in an empty warehouse.

Also another vote to ULTIMATE DELETION
