Katsuyori Shibata vs Kazuchika Okada - NJPW Sakura Genesis You definitely need to go out of your way to see this. I might've actually liked it even more than the Wrestle Kingdom main event.

Tyler Bate vs Pete Dunne 2: takeover chicago. Probably my favorite match all year so far. Honestly liked it more than Omega/Okada and Shibata/Okada.
DIY vs AOP: Takeover Chicago. Match + the post match turn was amaaaazing.

Bate and Dunne was incredible. I don't agree that it was better than Omega and Okada, but it is far and away the best WWE match this year - and it will take something amazing to top it.
Also, the fact that you had competent announcing with JR and Nigel on the match amplified it all the more.
This is considered developmental. On the main show, we have Orton and Jinder. That tells you everything you need to know about the world of WWE.

So which G1 matches are we adding here? Off the top of my head...
-Okada vs Omega -Omega vs Naito -Naito vs Tanahashi
Then
-Summerslam - Fourway: Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman vs Samoa Joe
Personally, I wanna add Chuck Taylor vs Zack Sabre Jr. from PWG Pushin Forward Back. Just watched this match earlier and it was so damn entertaining. The classic underdog story. The way El Generico/ Daniel Bryan matches would make us feel.

I kinda thought we all just sort of gave up on trying to keep up with all the great matches this year. But if we're back at it, here's some stuff I liked:
Brian Cage vs Katsuhiko Nakajima - NOAH Summer Navigation: Day 8 (7/27/17) - This match took place while G1 was still going on, so it kind of went overlooked, but it was every bit as good as a high-end G1 match.
Titan vs KUSHIDA - ROH War of the Worlds UK: Day 1 (8/18/17) - The best match of ROH's recent UK tour. KUSHIDA works with luchadors better than just about any non-luchador in the world. And Titan is one of the most underrated wrestlers in the world, regardless of style.
Will Ospreay vs "Speedball" Mike Bailey - WCPW Pro Wreslting World Cup Quarter Finals (8/24/17) - While watching this match I kept thinking that it was the best PWG match I'd seen all year, it just wasn't happening in PWG.
Will Ospreay vs KUSHIDA - WCPW Pro Wreslting World Cup Finals (8/26/17) - I don't know, or care, if it's any better or worse than their BOSJ match. It's a much different match, and it's great on it's own merits.
Dr Wagner Jr. vs Psycho Clown (Mask vs Mask) - AAA Triplemania XXV (8/26/17) - If you break it down move-by-move, it probably doesn't really compare to the best matches of this year, but there's just a different kind of emotional spectacle involved with a genuine legend putting his mask on the line in Mexico. And both guys did work hard, so that's a bonus.

Dante Fox vs Killshot (Hell of War Match) - Lucha Underground Ultima Lucha 3, Part 1
It'll probably be too much for some people. But, Holy Shit!!! Those two are both psychotic! And great athletes.
