So these are the nominations for Match of the Year. What match do you think should win? Is it one of these or is it something else? And what do you think of the selections in general?
I have a history of thinking that the match that's awarded Match of the Year is completely overrated and undeserving, but the selection isn't that bad this year. With one exception: Sting vs Triple H was shit. No storytelling, no psychology and not much decent action either. And a terrible finish and pay off. Nostalgia and fan service is all the match had going in its favour. It belongs nowhere near this list and if it wins I'll be annoyed.
Other than that all the matches are pretty good contenders. I think Undertaker and Lesnar's match at Summerslam was probably better than their match at Hell in a Cell, but they deserved to have a match in there and the Hell in a Cell match was good too, so I don't have a problem with that. Also, while the Raw Fatal Fourway was good, I probably would have gone with Cena's US title defenses instead. Maybe one of the ones against Cesaro.
I reckon the Royal Rumble match is the best out of these ones, but my favourite match of the year isn't actually on the list: I think Sasha vs Bayley in Brooklyn was better than anything on the main roster this year. WWE probably made the deliberate decision to only nominate matches from the main roster, but I think it's disappointing that they did. Nominating a women's match as a candidate for Match of the Year would do more for that division than any amount of #DivasRevolution jargon.
