Does Mcguiness/Aries count as a 2008 MOTYC since the match took place in 07?

**Sephiroth** · 03-08-2008, 07:46 PM

it does. it happened like a few days before New Year's so it's pretty much 2008 anyways

I didn't see anybody talking about it since it happened, but this past weeks ECW World Championship Match between Chavo Guerrero and CM Punk was a very good match. Not a MOTYC by any means, but probably their best encounter to date.

I'll give it something like ***1/2.

Looking forward to seeing them fight in a Extreme Rules Match at WM to end the feud.

Aries vs. Nigel ****1/2

I'm too tired to type anything at the moment other than, until WrestleMania It's the current Match of the Year.

Aries vs. Nigel - ****1/2

Insane heat from the crowd, Nigel smashing his head on the rail a few minutes in looked bad as hell, that springboard lariat that sent Aries to the outside turning him inside-out was brutal...in short, emotion was perfect.

The one thing that took me out of it was Aries pretty much shaking off the afformetioned springboard lariat in a couple of seconds after he sold it for dead for a bit.

MOTY thus far easily.

Aries vs. Nigel - ****1/2

Just completely brutal, from Nigel's head smashing into the rail to the 2nd rope lariat that made Aries flip like crazy to the outside to the devastating jawbreaker lariat at the end.

MOTY so far.

Rock n Rave Infection vs. Latin American Xchange vs. Motor City Machine guns - Destination X - ****1/4 - ****1/2 This match was absolutely awesome. Crowd was going bananas. Great stuff from everybody. Fast paced. Action packed. They even let Rave and Hoyt have a good bit of offense. Jimmy did his sweet ass tilt-a-whirl furiwara armbar takedown and some nice combos. Hoyt with the massive Moonsault. Hernandez with the GARGANTUAN top rope suicide dive. hernandez holding lance Hoyt (yes, Lance Hoyt all 275 lbs. of him) in a vertical suplex for what must have been close to 30 sec. while crazy action was going on around him. Awesome double team goodness from the Guns. Tope Con Hilo. Border Toss. If this match had been given a little more time it could have approached *****. For the time that it was given, it was spectacular. Strong MOTYC.

i'm really intrigued to watch that match right now. i only like two teams out of the three, but MCMG matches are pretty much must see for me.

i doubt i'll like it as much as you did, especially after reading Keller's review from PWTorch, but i'll check it out regardless

Well it wasn't a psychological battle by any means, but the spots were crazy and even Hoyt and Rave looked good (especially Rave). Maybe I'm too psyched about it, but it was extremely entertaining and for me that's the ultimate measure.
