I've run into the issue again where to qualify something as motyc I put it against the last match I nominated and thought was motyc (in this case okada/ibushi). I dont think I'll be able to dole out moty noms for a long time.

hmmm....thinking about downgrading suzuki vs nagata to HM. not sure if it measures up to page&omega vs bucks...its not as good but very different......




i will not downgrade but will asterisk that i still think the tag team match from revolution is still front-runner for match of the year

I've voted dozens of matches as MOTYCs this year, it's about the vibe of the match not a specific declaration

i can feel that. i just have a dumb linear brain.

I think both philosophies for nominating matches are valid. I nominate anything over a certain threshold of quality MOTY but I have a weird respect for people who are incredibly particular and only rarely give them out.

Yep; don't think they've even mentioned the thing since so perhaps they've forgotten about it.

They also have the Asia Dream Tag Titles (which Emi currently holds with Kaori Yoneyama, winning them in the last show with fans) and also Emi Sakura is the 3CW Women's Champion - a belt from a random Britwres promotion that died after Emi won the thing so she's defended that at Gatoh Move shows before. They used to also use the IWA Title (I think the main belt of IWA:Japan, the death match-based promotion that Emi initially debuted with) but I think they dropped that when they debuted the Super Asia which is a shame; the idea of the main Gatoh Move title being some old random belt that Dick Slater and Jim Duggan had held in the past is incredibly funny.

I think they are smart going without belts: its let them do interesting show-to-show stories that having to book around belts and building up title matches would disrupt.

honestly it is refreshing in a way just to see cool matchups and there to not be arbitrary stakes

i think i know how i want to mentally parse my favorite matches now. im gonna give myself 3 categories, singles match, tag team match, and multiman match. whatever i nominate for MOTYC is what i think is the MOTY in that category, since different match types yield a different psychology and style.




also HM to Elite+Hangman+FTR vs Dark Order from Dynamite
