[MM16] R1B: DALTON CASTLE vs. KATSUYORI SHIBATA
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
What the hell are you even talking about. -
I'm pretty sure he beat the likes of Ryder, Kane and Stardust with just one. Your point about excess still stands but it's clearly hyperbole.

[MM16] R1B: MICHAEL ELGIN vs. HIROSHI TANAHASHI
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
I don't know. I remembered Tanahashi had the insane G1 Final vs Nakamura and was gonna use that as a tie-breaker but then I remembered Elgin-Ishii. I probably enjoyed Elgin in the G1 more than Tanahashi but then there's also Elgin's work literally anywhere else I don't care for one bit. Elgin tries harder than Tanahashi on most shows but considering how his results aren't particularly impressive that might just show how far ahead of him Tanahashi is. Tanahashi's lows are definitely lower, the worst Tanahashi matches make question why I even watch pro wrestling while I just react to Elgin's with apathy. But I do think Tanahashi is a more capable pro wrestling. Yet I also often dislike how he uses his abilities. I have to check the bracket and see who's facing the winner in the next round. -
Hard to care for a Tanahashi cosplay when I'm not crazy for the real thing. At least he can act like a proper heel,

Man. Every year KUSHIDA has like one or two great matches and you're like THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S MY BOY. And then New Japan books him in a best of seven series vs. Kenny Omega and he circle jerks in undercard tags and you stop caring about him until he has his great match next year. Kana/Asuka is number one and the best.

[MM16] R1: KENNY OMEGA vs. BARON CORBIN
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
To me Omega is like if The Young Bucks fused into a singles wrestler but instead of being an efficient post-modern heel just did as much dumb shit as possible. -
[MM16] R1: ULTIMO GUERRERO vs. HIDEKI SUZUKI
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
I like UG but I will take Hideki and his Billy Robinson tribute gimmick over him. -
Matt I'm not crazy over him You can vote for Miz

[MM16] R1: RYOTA HAMA vs. TETSUYA NAITO
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
Naito may have the best gimmick in wrestling right now. I like Hama, wrestling needs more fat guys but Naito's just been on another level since he joined Los Ingobernables. -
[MM16] R1: KENNY OMEGA vs. BARON CORBIN
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
I didn't know so many people here were so high on Omega here. I voted for Corbin, not because he is my favourite wrestler but because I can't stand Omega while Corbin actually entertains me in his simplistic approach. -
[MM16] R1: RODERICK STRONG vs. HECHICERO
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
Yeah but my point about how he worked vs. Ishii still stands. -

Isn't he a face in ROH though? I thought it was really strange that he'd suddenly start working heel, especially when the crowd wasn't buying it one bit. -
With Cesaro being injured for so long this isn't even close to me.

[MM16] R1: SPEEDBALL BAILEY vs. SHUJI ISHIKAWA

I love Speedball and I'm sure he's gonna win but I can't vote against Big Dog. -

Another Pentagon match you should probably watch before it disappears from the internet if you haven't already: I feel wrong for planning to vote against Maximo but. -

Man, I think Corbin doesn't even get past Kenny Omega, who probably had his least "God this guy just annoys teh fuck out of me" year" Even further, you would have him getting past Meiko and Thatcher, and I don't see that. I seriously doubt Kenny Omega will move past Corbin. At least I hope he won't. GO BACK TO ROH -

I don't think any of the NXT matches are serious MOTYCs and if it comes down to me having no soul and liking Pentagon bloodbaths more than Bayley hugging with her opponent after the match-so be it. I think their best work is around the same level but I probably liked Pentagon-Vampiro more than anything Bayley did. If only I could make myself watch AAA.... I'll strongly disagree that Bayley/Sasha 1, at least, isn't a MOTYC. The second one had more holes in it and I'd understand that argument, but the first one? Yeah, that's just an outstanding match that tells a great story. To be fair-I really liked it. It's almost certainly a top 5 WWE 2015 match for me, possibly top 3. It's just a matter of comparing that to everything else going on in the world. To me Bayley and Sasha are closer to Kairi Hojo and Io Shirai than they are "best wrestler in the world" status (which would be around where I would put Meiko Satomura). I really like Becky but there is some main roster matches of hers I'd like to catch up on before making a call on where I'd place her. -

Pentagon has the PWG stuff as well. I think this is like, the only singles match he had in Mexico last year: It's, ahem..........quite violent -

I'll sacrifice Pentagon if you go all in in backing Dragon Lee.
