MOTYC: You Are Cordially Invited

With no promotions running a bunch of wrestlers from the BritWres scene including a few familiar faces come together to create a cinematic match full of action, violence, surprises and wacky hijinks to create something quite weird yet wonderful. It's only 25 mins long and definitely worth your time.

This only needs one more nomination to make MOTYC now. I really encourage people to give it a try, it's basically a wrestling version of Battle Royale

I might have gone MOTYC if I'd been watching English commentary but as it was I only realised we were close to hit the time limit about 30 seconds before it hit so the tension was lost on me. Still can't argue with 6 of New Japan's best going nuts on each other though

It's been a long time since I watched it, but I am pretty sure it was more a case of Cross misjudging (understandably) what WWE wanted and kind of just being "there" on the show as a result.

The truth is WWE didn't give a poo poo about his indie cred and anything he'd done would have been wrong
