Yep, SuzukiVSTanahashi wins MOTY, imho.

And INB4 Okada/Tanahashi from WK7 wins MOTY2013

[bigbuxxx]

I would say Bucks vs SSB from Death to Metal, then Tanahashi vs Okada on 6/16 and then miles behind those in no order is Okada/Naito in March, Tana/MiSu on 10/8, Lesnar/Cena, 3-way ladder match in PWG, and a couple others I can't gather atm.

I figured it was a Quack match. vs a "spanish" dude meaning a luchadore. Probably El Oriental. Quack didn't work much singles matches that year. Plus, he was under a mask half of the year as Spyrazul too.

Richards and Elgin has to be the most divisive match this year. It has just weathered every side of every opinion. I'm really looking forward to rewatching it sometime this week.

Indeed it is. All about what you look for in a match or happen to enjoy.

Glad you decided to chuck me in the list, kiz. You getting Chikara/Puro = ~!

All of that CALLIHAN goodness. Please appreciate the awesomeness of his match(es) vs Finlay.

Oh no, you actually enjoy Sami? Probably the first thing of yours I've read that I don't agree with.

[Obfuscation]

I've been a HUGE fan of his since he flew onto my radar in late 2007. What's with this backlash against him now?

[KingCrash]

I don't think it's a recent trend with the Callihan hate. His style rubs people the wrong way, his gimmick/personality you either love because he's a crazed madman or hate because it's so phony it even stretches wrestling's reality, and his promos are so grating you want to punch a baby in the face just so he stops talking.

CALLIHAN DEATH MACHINE! HA! HA! HA! (stares into the camera).

I will say that he has gotten much better when he's more the come-from-behind face and doesn't get into wacky crazy shtick then when he's a heel and sometimes kills matches.

[Kiz]

i've only seen a couple of matches but i really like the gimmick. it's legitimately entertaining. plus DEATH MACHINE sounds awesome.

[Yeah1993]

From the 2012 I've watched Callihan is the WOTY. I can understand finding him kind of annoying, but I really like him in kind of an 80s whacky character way and I don't think he looks phony. He's like the 2010s version of the Missing Link or something. He's a really fucking good worker no matter what. I can't see any argument against that.

That. Minus the understanding of finding him annoying. I don't see it, but who knows what can irk people in the wrong way. That's a trait that differs among everyone.

If Callihan started jumping in place during a match then he'd really turn it up on the Missing Link factor.
