I'll get this out of the way first. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE ONLY FIVE MONTHS INTO THE YEAR. Now, I figure we can have a thread where we list what our Match of the Year candidates are, and update it whenever we see a new one. This way, at the end of the year, we can go back and look through without forgetting anything. That is, if this works. So basically just list your Match of the Year candidates from all promotions (I put it here since it gets the most traffic) and post whenever you see a new one to add. Here's mine so far. NJPW - IWPG Intercontinental Title: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs. Kota Ibushi (Wrestle Kingdom 9) WWE - WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. John Cena vs. Seth Rollins (Royal Rumble) WWE - NXT Women's Championship: Charlotte (c) vs. Sasha Banks vs. Bayley vs. Becky Lynch (TakeOver: Rival) TNA - Ethan Carter III vs. Rockstar Spud (Impact) WWE - NXT Championship: Sami Zayn (c) vs. Kevin Owens (TakeOver: Rival) LU - Trios Tag Team Championship: Angelico, Ivelisse and Son of Havoc vs. The Crew WWE - Finn Balor vs. Adrian Neville (TakeOver: Rival) WWE - United States Championship: John Cena (c) vs. Adrian Neville WWE - Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns (Fast Lane) WWE - WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns (WrestleMania 31) That's all I could think of for now. Here are videos of the non-WWE matches if anyone would like to check them out.

I know I'll catch flak...but as a contender I have to add Roman Reigns vs the Big Show at Extreme Rules.

I enjoyed Show/Reigns and I gave it like three and a half stars on my blog. I just wasn't big on the finish and rank it below Reigns' other PPV matches. Still good stuff though and nothing wrong with having it up there.

I have never ever been that invested in a divas match. Let the flak begin

Brock Lesnar vs Sami Zayn from my Universe Mode Was this the tournament? If so, I'll second this 110%. Seriously, IMO I THINK Nakamura/Ibushi will get the award if the year ended today. I personally actually liked Okada/Tanahashi and Makabe/Ishii from WK 9, but that's just me. Without a doubt to me I say Cena/Lesnar/Rollins wins with my second place being Makabe/Ishii just because I loved that match.

Complete bias being there live, but Neville vs Cena has to be in my top three.
Brock vs Seth vs Cena
Sami vs Owens. The story of the match worked perfectly.

Main roster: no doubt it's Brock/Cena/Rollins.
NXT: Owens/Zayn, Neville/Balor, Owens/Balor, Sasha/Becky/Bayley/Charlotte
Other: only watch LU outside of WWE and y'all got the Trios Title match covered.

1) Rollins vs Brock vs Cena 2) AJ Styles vs Ibushi 3) Nakamura vs Ibushi 4) Balor vs Neville 5) Young Bucks vs reDragon Galloway vs Low Ki has been my favorite TNA match so far this year and the casket match from LU has been the best I've seen from them. Kyle O'Reilly vs Chris Sabin. ROH tv. How the have I not seen this yet... ? I reserve the right to change my mind until I watch this haha.

In my honest opinion, Ishii vs Honma > Nakamura vs Ibushi. Regardless..
1. Tomohiro Ishii vs Tomoaki Honma - NJPW New Beginning In Sendai 2. Shinsuke Nakamura vs Kota Ibushi - NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 9 3. John Cena vs Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins - WWE Royal Rumble 4. Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks vs Bayley vs Charlotte - NXT Takeover: Rival 5. Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan - WWE Fastlane 6. Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar - WWE Wrestlemania 31 7. Finn Balor vs Adrian Neville - NXT Takeover: Rival 8. Ethan Carter III vs Rockstar Spud - TNA iMPACT 9. Fenix vs Mil Muertes - Lucha Underground 10. Roderick Strong vs Trevor Lee - PWG From Out Of Nowhere
That's just my current top 10. It'll probably change before the end of the year. Hell, depending on tomorrow, it might change before the end of the week.
