We've witnessed a ton of excellent matches this year (and I'm listing only WWE matches since it's the only promotion I watch, and no, I don't watch NXT):

Bryan vs Wyatt at Royal Rumble
The Wyatt Family vs The Shield at Elimination Chamber
Elimination Chamber match at... Elimination Chamber
Bryan vs HHH at Wrestlemania XXX
Bryan vs Kane at Extreme Rules
Both Shield vs Evolution matches (at Extreme Rules and Payback)
Orton vs Reigns at Summerslam
The Usos vs Rowan & Harper at Money In The Bank
The Usos vs Rowan & Harper in a 2/3 Falls match at Battleground
Both Brock vs Cena matches (at Summerslam and Night of Champions)
Orton vs Ziggler on Raw a month or so ago
Ambrose vs Rollins in a Street Fight on Raw
Both ladder matches (one for the briefcase, the other for the vacant championship) at Money In The Bank
Ambrose vs Rollins inside the cell at Hell In A Cell
Sheamus vs Cesaro at Night Of Champions
Ziggler vs Kidd vs Cesaro on Smackdown a few weeks back
Team Cena vs Team Authority at Survivor Series
Etc., etc.

You can knock the product if you'd like, but you can't say it hasn't been an awesome year in terms of match quality.
Bryan v. Kane and Orton v. Reigns? What world are you living in?

NXT is WWE's developmental system, if you didn't know yet. Saying that NXT isn't a part of WWE is the dumbest fucking thing to ever say. The brand name of NXT isn't really just NXT, it's ''WWE NXT'' if you didn't know yet, just like it's ''WWE Monday Night RAW'' with Raw.

Idk if you're trying to give me a headache or if you're just doing it by accident but damn, you're a dipshit. smh
chill the fuck out dude

NXT: Cesaro vs Zayn/Neville vs Zayn vs Breeze vs Kidd
TNA: The Wolves vs The Hardys vs Team 3D (all 3 matches of the tag team series), Bobby Roode vs Kurt Angle (Genesis)
PWG: Ricochet vs Kenny Omega/ACH vs Omega/The Young Bucks vs Kazarian & Daniels (BOLA 2014). Can't say I didn't enjoy every single match at this year's BOLA.

I haven't watched much of ROH this year, to be honest. But I'll be sure to watch Final Battle and I'm sure some matches are gonna be MOTY material!

Bryan and Kane's Extreme Rules match was enjoyable enough to at least call it 'good', and Orton vs Reigns was a lot better than I thought it would be... specifically in the late stages of the match with spots like Orton turning Reigns' spear into a quick power-slam and catching Reigns in an RKO when he went for the Superman Punch.

But nowhere near MOTY contenders, though.

Note this is Match of the Year not good matches.

It did include Jay Briscoe and it saw Elgin lose the ROH title.
