2021 MOTYC/Recommend A Match Thread

[cobainwasmurdered]

5/5 Keisuke Okuda Vs U-T
5/18 Roman Reigns Vs Rey Mysterio

Roman/Rey isn't so much because it's great (although its good and could have been) but because of how notable it is as being only the third ever HIAC match on TV and first ever on SD.

Okuda Vs UT was good shit and I've really loved Okuda's run. DG has some really good younger talent that I hope we see really get pushed strong.

5/21 KOG Jason Lee Vs KZY
5/23 KOG Eita Vs KZY
6/3 KOG Final KZY Vs Kota Minoura

finished up King of Gate and off the top of my head since I didn't keep a running lost of the best stuff these were the ones that stood out as MOTYC's. KZY is looking great.

5/30 Otani/DHashimoto Vs Sekimoto/Okabayashi

8/22 Walter Vs Ilya Draganuv

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

6/21 Masa Kitamiya Vs Katshuhiko Nakajima (Cage, Hair Vs Hair)

I still think they rushed this especially considering its one of the only cage matches ever in in a non-death match company in Japan (even counting those it's super super rare). That said it's nasty. They don't use the cage to full effect but they beat the shit out of each other. No one learned anything from Shibata almost dying.

Colby Corino vs Steve Corino (8/27 Premier Wrestling Federation)

8/27- Hiromu Takahasi Vs DOUKI- NJPW Summer Struggle

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

9/4 Tanahashi Vs Ibushi

guaranteed great every time.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

9/5 Hiromu Vs Robbie Eagles

really fucking good. Hiromu is out to get his belt back and Eagles is the man who beat him last time Hiromu came back from an injury. At the same time Eagles only just won the belt and isn't a big name junior to most people so he feels like the underdog.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

9/5 Sanada/Naito V Taichi/Sabre V Goto/Yoshihashi

this was a bit long (shock) but it was the freshest njpw tag in some time and they had a great finishing stresh.

 

[King Kamala]

9/5- Miro Vs Eddie Kingston- All Out

 

[King Kamala]

9/5- Lucha Bros Vs The Young Bucks- All Out

[cobainwasmurdered]

6/26 Jake Lee Vs Kento Miyahara Vs Yuma Aoyagi
9/18 G1 Naito Vs Sabre
9/18 G1 Shingo Vs Ishii

the ajpw match is a round robin tourny not a triple threat where they all had to face each other but it was done in one block.

9/19 Okada vs Tanahashi

 

[Gary]

9/24- SuperKliq Vs Christian Cage and the Jurassic Express

Not sure what policy is on posting MOTY candidates FROM THE FUTURE!

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

9/24 - NJPW G1 Day 4:

Chase Ownes vs Tama Tonga

Not because it should be a MOTY contender, but this match was really, really good and one that should be watched by people who like very solid matches that are 100% clean.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

9/23 SHINGO Vs Sabre

slowly catching up! great contrast in style here and I look forward to seeing more from them.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

9/24 Taichi Vs SANADA

loved it so much. some really nifty pinning counters and the references to their mentors and AJPW legends were great. Listening to the japanese commentary and hearing them shouting about Jumbo was giving me serious flashbacks.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

9/24-

GCW Get Lost A Lot:
- Alex Zayne vs AR Fox
- Homicide vs Minoru Suzuki

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

9/26 Nagata Vs Shingo
9/26 G1 KENTA Vs Ishii
9/26 G1 Sabre Vs Ibushi

Nagata is still so god damn good. Sabre is at his peak right now. Kenta/Ishii are always good together.
