Match of the Year Tracking Thread

Post by syxxpakk »

This thread will be to keep up with all of the matches we think will be viable contenders for match of the year in 2012. That way, fewer matches fall through the cracks.

I'm already nominating Steen and Corino from Final Battle. True match of the year awards range from December 6 - December 6. So this match applies to 2012.

I second Steen and Corino from Final Battle '11. It was just plain awesome!

I thought Steen/Jacobs was so much better than this match.

Why december 6 to december 6? Only thing that makes sense is that if an event takes places in 2011, then its eligible for the 2011 MOTY. If it takes place in 2012, then its eligible for the 2012 MOTY. Why do people want to change something that should be so simple and clear cut? Hate when people argue, well Final Battle 2010 doesn't actually count as a 2010 event. Um actually, it does.

Really? Why? It was a good match but it didn't have anywhere near as good spots or storytelling IMO.

It was a much better put together match. It actually had flow, and wasn't just "Hey let's do this spot, and then let's do this spot."

well its not really that clear cut. it really comes down to when the previous years final awards came out. And w/ ROH's DVDs coming out a month plus after the show that means the rankings wouldnt come out until after the Final Battle weekend shows come out on dvd. In this case the Final Battle shows would never get nominated for MOTY because when the awards come out, not many people would have seen the show. Or you wait til february to decide your MOTY but by then who is gonna care. So the consensus is to come out w/ your MOTY at the very end of the year in question and to just bump the shows that didnt get nominated into the next years category

You're finally back lol. But gotta disagree.

Right now for me.
1. Michael Elgin vs Davey Richards SITS
2. Dragon vs Sheamus 2/3 falls match Extreme Rules
3. Undertaker vs HHH Wrestlemania

Expecting Steen vs Davey to be added in here somewhere soon.

I watched Elgin-Richards this weekend . . .twice. That's my MOTY right now hands down -- tremendous match, and Nigel's emotion puts it over the to. Here's hoping a lot more good stuff to come! (Not watching Extreme Rules, but I will probably check it out on DVD for Punk-Jericho and Danielson-Sheamus
