HM: Serena Deeb v Tay Conti: AEW Dynamite 1/13 New Year�s Bash Night 2

Very explosive match. Held my attention the entire time and there were times I wasn�t sure who would win. Very devastating offense from both and I�ll quote a goon in the GDT, Deeb is underrated and the Bret Hart of women�s wrestling. Absolutely fire match.

HM: Proud N Powerful vs Sammy Hager vs Jericho and MJF, 1/20 Dynamite

Crazy fun match and maybe the best Hager has ever looked in a match. Props to Jericho for getting up for Sammy's finish. Sammy's swanton was incredible. Incredible.

I think Dynamites match reactions are overrated and people are too liberal with hm's and even moty's. Theres good matches but this thread reacts to every Dynamite like its a NJPW PPV so irs a quantity v quality argument scale.

I decided a while back I'm going to start toning down the amount of matches I nominate. Most of them don't hold up on further reflection anyway. Also, it kind of sucks for the people who nominate matches from these lesser-watched promotions. They could have watched the greatest match ever but it just gets absolutely blown out of the water in nominations by some Matt Sydal match on Elevation. Of course no hard feelings towards anyone who likes to nominate lots of things on Dynamite though. This is just my perspective on it

you can just say forkboy, it's okay, he knows
