**** for the NJPW Rumble? Interesting.The Fray Movement wrote:
Here's everything I've rated ****+ since 12/1/2015. To make life easier, I still use the WON Awards calendar for all of my spreadsheets. And I know there's some whackiness with some of the dating there as some stuff was taped in November and didn't air till December. Trust me, it all makes sense in my head. If I think something is a true MOTY candidate, I'll track down the actual date it happened as opposed to just using the "Aired" date.
Re: 2016 Match of the Year Tracker Of Doom
This year I'm trying not to read reviews BEFORE I watch or give a rating. I don't want to be influenced any sort of way by anyone elses opinon. I'll look at the stuff that gets nom'd for match of the year but these ratings will stick. I do tend to be on the higher side of things though. So 4 is the cut off.

Re: 2016 Match of the Year Tracker Of Doom
Good brother, excuse my pedantry but it was Ospreay vs. Scurll.
And while I'm at it, it's Ospreay, Zack, Tanahashi and reDRagon.

I have been debating if those 2 CWF matches should count for my list since they were apart of last years BattleCade show and they made multiple notes of this weeks main event being the "first main event" of 2016.

Re: 2016 Match of the Year Tracker Of Doom
See but were they out anywhere before this year? Because the PWG rule for match of the month is they count for the month they come out. So, idk...either way I appreciate the recommendations.cpgoat3 wrote:HeadCheese wrote:January

Totally agreed! CWF was not even on my radar but I watched all three main events from this year and really dug them all
Re: 2016 Match of the Year Tracker Of Doom
I would not consider any BattleCade 2015 matches for your 2016 list if you plan on using it to keep track for the purposes of VOW. Cause that's when it goes by tape date not release date.

Re: 2016 Match of the Year Tracker Of Doom
I am trying - trying - to keep a tracking of what I watch this year. Mainly just to get a rough estimate on how many matches I have actually watched our of my curiosity sake. There's some matches I have to rewatch in order to give an actual rating. Again, it's just a work in progress. What I'd like to do is add Alan, Dave's, VOW, Cagematch, etc. ratings to it as well. I have it hopefully in a way it's easy to sort out.
