2/8 Mark Briscoe Vs Kyle Fletcher

 

[Brocklock]

Not a motyc, but Bryan Keith vs Bandido from the same show was also really good. The Spaghetti Western standoff sequence was so good.

I haven't been impressed with Keith in the various trios matches I've seen, but he looked awesome here.

2/12/25 MJF Vs Dustin Rhodes
MJF has been really off the last while but this was a really good performance from him and Dustin is almost always good. The super hot crowd obviously really helped.

a couple CMLL matches from last year I finally got around to watching
6/21/24 Mistico Vs Hiromu
6/22/24 Zack Sabre Jr Vs Hechicero

Hiromu never gets to work as a heel anymore and it's a shame because he is so much better as one. Crowd in Arena Mexico was rabid for this (shock) and it was a lot of fun. Only complaint was Mistico not selling all of Hiromu's legwork enough.
Sabre and Hechicero was a lot of swank graps.

Jericho vs Bandido from 2/22 Collision was the best Jericho match in years. Not just a Bandido carry job as Jericho brought a lot to the match. Obviously not a motyc, but it needs a mention.

Desperado Vs Kosei Fujita, 2/4/25

KZY....I STILL BELIEVE.
