I really liked the 6 Man Tag with Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, & Cena against The Shield.

That was a pretty good match. You think it can win match of the year, though?

Well when the year is over I doubt the Bryan-Wyatt match can win MOTY, I liked the 6 man tag better myself, but no, I don't think either of them can.

My point wasnt necessarily that Bryan/Wyatt was the best match WWE is capable of putting on the entire year. it was that it happened 3 weeks into the year and by December it'll probably get lost in the shuffle of matches from Mania and beyond that might not be as good. Its pretty much why movies that are Oscar contenders get released in December so that people remember them come nomination time.

Can I suggest a rule? No ROH or indie wrestling allowed? TNA can get a pass, but nothing with three dozen super-kicks and piledrivers should be listed.

If you include NJPW or whatever, I think you still have to include ROH. At very least, you have to include TNA...I think.
Well, I mean, we don't HAVE to do anything. Just suggest whatever you want here, and we'll talk about all that later. Worst case scenario, we end up with a thread full of good matches. |

The Rumble match itself is one of the worst Rumbles ever, layout and content was piss all the way. The Great Khali had a spot, crazy piss.

Not my intention to derail, I just don't want that match to be seriously considered as a contender. No one will buy it, from my standpoint the mystery spots were shit, Nash could have powerbombed more ppl, etc.

Well if you're gonna include other promotions like NJPW I think Kazuchika Okada vs. Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP Heavyweight Title and Hirooki Goto vs. Katsuyori Shibata from Wrestle Kingdom VIII deserve mention. Probably both better than anything anywhere this year.

It may not be MOTY by the end of it but Wyatt/Bryan was amazing and deserves mention as Droford said. Both guys looked like a million bucks when it was over. All great matches are ones where neither come out looking weaker. Before that match I wasn't sold on Wyatt but he is gonna be a Star sooner then we all think just because of that match. Awesome stuff. Will probably end up being Top 5 of the year.

Orton/Bryan from RAW doesn't get a nod from me although for a RAW main event it was above average.

![]() Seriously though, we sort of have to include TNA as long as Kurt Angle is there and some of their homegrown talent is still really good. Plus, Shiima Xion is my buddy. ROH, however, yeah, no. They just do stuff that they think should get them "match of the year", but without the emotion. It's nearly impossible to care about a modern-day ROH program. TNA has made me care a few times in the past, WWE has made me care plenty and even when I wasn't following the feuds I could still get into a good PPV match. |

still nominate indy stuff, it's not all the over-saturated MOVEZ nonsense, some guys out there can legit work. TNA is a no-brainer, they may do some dumb stuff on TV but they have a lot of talent in-ring wise

He really is. I met him at a show in Florida and have been chatting with him since before he jumped to TNA. Really down to Earth guy for such a flamboyant gimmick. Mind you we don't chat like every day or anything, now it's once every few months on facebook.

Ok we're going by Bad News Gertner Rules
1. North American promotions only. Nobody cares about some Japs dropping each other on their heads for 30 minutes 2. No indie wrestling. If a tree falls down in a forrest and nobody hears it, does anybody give a fuck. 3. Rybaxel vs Los Matadores automatically gets a bye into the finals.

Duuuuuuuude. Nobody mentioned nominating the Rumble match. We can't spend our precious time here listing matches that shouldn't get nominated for Match of the Year. That would be insane.
