Where was i...?
Oh yeah, the match.
**** maybe up to ****1/4 - AJ's trash talking was great even though his after-match promo thingy was kinda weird for lack of a better word

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
NOAH, 2/21/08
Takeshi Morishima, Naomichi Marufuji & Takashi Sugiura vs. Kenta Kobashi, Tamon Honda & Shuhei Taniguchi
Best 6 man I have seen in a looooong time. Maru and Sugi were awesome as the heelish dicks. It built Mori/Kobashi brilliantly as a match I really want to see now. Put Taniguchi over like a motherfucker and Honda as the old douche in a singlet who has his friend's back was good times.
This was booked better than the whole of 2007 in NOAH. Great stuff.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness - **** 1/2 - perfect face heel stuff. Some better Dragon selling and character work from being more!
Aries vs. Go - **** 1/4- Damn the striking vs. counters in this were golden. A slow middle hurts but not much since it fit.
Stevens vs. Strong vs. Necro - Brutality, sheer brutality, but with the story of Necro being deadly and coming between the two longtime rivals.
Go vs. Generico - **** - There is no better underdog at taking a beating than Go.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
It was 95% Dragon cheers, but I have a hard time wrapping my ahead around Danielson, altruistic face.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
What's the point in giving star ratings if you don't justify what you think was good about the match, or tell people why they should watch it and what they should look out for?
