I think it's about time for us to just post our 2017 MOTY list, its ALREADY January 10th... getting close to the end of the year

But yes, those three you posted are basically my top 3 matches so far, and will probably stay there for quite some time lol.

While I don't think that Omega v. Okada match was six stars it was damn good. I don't see myself watching as much wrasslin' in 2017 as I did 2016 so it'll mostly definitely be in my year end top ten. Hell, it would've been in my 2016 top ten. But it wouldn't have been at the top.

Here is my two favorite matches I saw live last year.


Wrestle Birmingham June show. Main event Wrestle Birmingham champ Chase Stevens vs Derrick King.


SWA spring 2016 Lukas Frost vs Nate the Boss Moss

Finally saw all of Okada vs Omega. Watched the version that aired on AXS. Now I am not a fan of Omega and find him a bit annoying. But this was the first match I have seen from him that didn't make me want to stop the match or fast forward.

I would give it 3 to 3 3/4th stars.

So Sami Zayn vs Seth Rollins from Raw last night was pretty goddamn good!

Sheamus verses the revolving door at Target was pretty epic but they should have cut fifteen minutes out of the middle.

Yeah, it was pretty good. Nice to see a different outcome than what i'm sure everyone expected.

Should add Cena/Styles from the rumble and the Elimination Chamber match to my list.

There's been some good TV matches recently. But I don't think any of them are year end worthy so far.

I was thinking of making a "Matches That Shouldn't Have Been As Good As They Were" List lol

Big Show vs Strowman

Not surprised at all the match was good. Big Show is an excellent big man worker. He's done the best work of his career over the last decade. Strowman is starting to hit his stride and develop into the dominant big man they want him to be for the future. It was an old school match that told a good story and had some drama to it. The match was a perfect example of two guys knowing what to do and when to do it. They built it nicely and had the crowd with them they whole way.

See matches can still be good today without all the pointless flippity flops and 10,000 false finishes. Keeping it simple and telling a story in the ring still works today. Who knew?

this, and since I've watched so little new wrestling the Daniels/Cole match is in my top ten too.

Shit, I've watched so little new wrestling this year my top ten is Omega/Okada, Cena/Styles III and that entire RoH ppv.

Been meaning to post in here some more, wanted to add some more matches!

Lio Rush vs Shane Strickland (DEFY 2)
Shibata vs Okada (NJPW Sakura Genesis - IWGP Heavyweight Title)
Neville vs Jack Gallagher (WWE Fastlane - Cruiserweight Championship)
Authors of Pain vs #DIY vs The Revival (NXT Takeover: Orlando - Tag Titles)
Zack Sabre Jr. vs Shibata (NJPW 45th Anniversary - RPW Title)
Oney Lorchan vs Andred "Cien" Almas (NXT TV March 2017)
The Club vs Hardy Boyz vs Sheasaro vs Enzo & Cass (WrestleMania Tag Title Ladder Match)

I can't wait for DEFY 2 to get posted online. I hope from all the hype they upload Rush/Strickland for free because I really want you guys to watch it!

I need to get faster at updating this.

DIY vs The Revival vs The Authors Of Pain (NXT Takeover Orlando)
Jay Lethal vs Cody (Supercard Of Honor)
The Hardys vs The Young Bucks (Supercard Of Honor)
The Club vs Enzo/Cass vs Sheamus/Cesaro vs The Hardys (Wrestlemania whatever the fuck number they're on now)


The fact that I'm forced to put the Young bucks on here makes me hate them even more 
Didn't expect The Hardys to show up twice so far either.

It's okay man.  You saw them live.  You can admit that you too thought it was hilarious when Nick Jackson brought pizza for the crowd with him when he came out for the Honor Rumble.

They are definitely a good live act. I did enjoy them at that ROH show. But overall they are still annoying, spot monkey hacks who got over because they copied older successful personas (NWO, DX, HBK) and did nothing original to become famous. They are great con artists because they got so many people believing their crap and cashed in on it even though they offer nothing new to the business.

Tyler Bate vs Jack Gallagher - NXT
This was on tonights episode of NXT, and it was REALLY GOOD. Finish felt a bit rushed to get to the pin, but overall great match.
