MOTYC’s
By Scott Keith on 30 August 2012
Not sure if it's too early to mailbag this one, but do you have any favorites for MOTY so far? Sure we have 4 months to go, but 2012 has provided some of the best matches of this recent era. Richards/Elgin was untoppable, but Omega/Ibushi from last week came close and was pretty goddamn awesome. Combinations of Tanahashi/Naito/Okada have been pretty memorable as well. Mania had it's moments. And Cena/Lesnar was, if nothing else, a lot of fun to watch back. Any favorites so far?
Well, I've already given out two ***** ratings this year, although I don't see anything topping Richards-Elgin. Roode-Aries gave it a good try. Undertaker-HHH was a special case and I don't feel personally comfortable saying it's the best match of the year because it basically existed in a vacuum. With a better finish, Brock-Cena would run away with the award, and it might even win as it is. And I'd probably have no problem with that, really.
