2019 Match of the Year

I just watched LA Park vs. Jacob Fatu, and I'm pretty sure it's my MOTY.

Oh, yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of those too. Good reminder.

Fatu Vs Park is my MOTY, probably followed by Cody/Dustin.

That match was super fun. I love modern LA Park. He's such a great brawler. And I've been singing the praises of Jacob Fatu for awhile too. It's crazy to me that he's not in WWE making big time money. Maybe he doesn't want the schedule or something but man, he's SO good.

My favourite match this year is Juice Robinson vs Job Moxley for the US Title. It was a hell of a rebirth for Moxley's ringwork, and one of the best brawls in modern puro (specially in NJPW). Both guys were on fire at every moment.

Just watched that. It's easy to find on YouTube. Yikes, what an insane bloodbath! Exceeded Atlantis vs Vilano III in the visceral gore department. Absolutely astonishing that two guys at that age (they are both in their 50s, right?) could pull off that level of ultra-violence. Right up there with Cody vs Dustin for Blood Bath of the Year, Brawl of the Year, and storyline-culminating Epic of the Year. Might be recency bias considering I just finished watching it... But this definitely belongs in the MOTY conversation.

Will be posting my annual Top 10 WWE Network Matches of the year over the next couple days, but just wanted to ask, for WWE at least, was there any better performer than Daniel Bryan? I have him in 3 of my Top 5 matches of the year. 

I could see an argument for Charlotte Flair (she has 3 matches in my top 10), but Bryan beats her with all of his promo work.

Granted, I'm not a weekly viewer and I semi-soured on the NXT main event formula this year. For example, I have Biance Belair/Shayna Baszler on my list and Cole/Gargano are a maybe for Honorable Mention.
