Wrestlemania night 2 was the first time my girlfriend has ever watched wrestling. She loved the show. She really loved Bayley vs Iyo and was so invested in Cody vs Roman. She didn't know any of these people before that night. She popped when Cody won and teared up. To me that makes it the match of the year and show of the year.

As far as matches in and of themselves. For builds/feuds/stories the opposite could be argued. That’s what is great about AEW being on the scene. The fans have a choice. Personally, I find WWE storytelling to be a lot of wheel spinning. Like, yes, the rivalry lasted 3 months but it could have been 1 and nothing would have been lost. Drew and Punk have been feuding the whole year but only 4 or 5 things have actually happened. Bad example, Punk is hurt but still.

I disagree because for that comparison to apply was to say WWE was just the spectacle and that's it.The reality is that Roman vs Cody had way more storytelling than Osprey vs Danielson no matter how much they tried to sell it as great story.They told a great story in the ring in terms of moves but that is it.Roman vs Cody was months and years of story telling coming to an end in an epic match.

I think a great wrestling match is a combination of great in ring work but also character development and emotional investment. Also star power and how a crowd is worked. Without these things its just men jumping around and groping each other. Look at the punk v mjf fued or omega v hangman fueds a few years ago in aew. For me these have matches that reach much higher highs than the ospreay v brian match because of all the work and context leading up the a big pay off. Its about caring about the characters not the moves.

Other favourites include: Ospreay/Takeshita, Roman/Cody 2, Swerve/Ospreay, Dijak/Oba/Briggs (Big meaty men slapping meat), Ospreay/Danielson (not as high for me as the other Ospreay matches, my hot take), Gunther/Sami, FTR/BCC (Revolution), Rhodes/Styles (Backlash), and Slater/Speedball (North Wrestling- it’s on KZread, go watch it.

First of all, Roman was Undertaker's last "official" Wrestlemania opponent and its where he left all his gear in the ring, signifying he was done. THEN the following night Roman had the arrogance to go "This is MY yard now" during the promo that perfectly showed he was best as a heel. Undertaker was linked to Roman, especially at Wrestlemania and understandably had some revenge that was worth getting

Sammi zayne vs Gunther is on this list I'm sorry I have to disagree on that and would rather have Gunther vs Jey Uso on WWE raw because u get Gunther chopping down his opponent which is what was missing from his WM match against SZ if Gunther would have beaten SZ then yes put it on the list but since he didn't take him seriously take it off the list like Simon Miller I give that choice a down 👎

bro you are just conditioned by WWE to expect drama in every match. before WWE wrestlers never gave two craps about the story and still became legends. There are so many more ways to get invested in the product than just drama. Tempest has legit seen all kinds of wrestling hence he understands that aspect. Not every match needs to be cinema. Some matches are just 2 people fighting to see who is the best. World has moved to a broader perspective now. Drama is not the only criteria anymore.

As far as matches in and of themselves. For builds/feuds/stories the opposite could be argued. That’s what is great about AEW being on the scene. The fans have a choice. Personally, I find WWE storytelling to be a lot of wheel spinning. Like, yes, the rivalry lasted 3 months but it could have been 1 and nothing would have been lost. Drew and Punk have been feuding the whole year but only 4 or 5 things have actually happened. Bad example, Punk is hurt but still.

Thumbs up for including Bayley and Iyo. For my money it was the best match of the weekend.
So I been watching Sting since early 90's to see him retain in his last match n how crazy the match was my one of favorite this year. The Darby spot was CRAZY but I seen Mick get blown up set on fire n thrown 20 feet twice. So it didn't bother me. I just wanted him to land on them .
Considering Punk got in the top 10 of the last list video, I was worried what would be on this one
I forgot all Ospreay matches this year took place at Wrestle Kingdom.
That top 2 is the greatest top 2 ever. Wrestling is a variety show, and those two matches are the prime example (throw in Sting’s retirement match too)
Oku vs Ospreay is MOTY for me, unbelievable story and incredible in ring performances. Tony's in a box chants adds a star by itself

I can't complain about No. 2 and No. 1 and Tempest hit the nail on the head about it.. If you like a big event with all the drama and is a total box office banger, then No. 2 is for you. If you more into actual wrestling where the story begins with the ringing bell and the story wins the price for best movie, then No. 1 is for you.. Ospreay vs Danielson for me was just incredible and I'm damn sure, by the end of this year, we will see this match, with Rhodes vs Reigns, in the Top 5..
Can’t wait for Osprey to come in at number 1
This list and particularly number 1 and 2 is exactly why WWE and AEW are vital in the landscape. I have fallen off of AEW weekly because the tv storytelling just isnt it and i hate the constant vs. WWE energy they give off but i would never deny the match quality And well Cody vs Roman speaks for itself. Great list lads and Wrestletalkers! Great list indeed.
I think a great wrestling match is a combination of great in ring work but also character development and emotional investment. Also star power and how a crowd is worked. Without these things its just men jumping around and groping each other. Look at the punk v mjf fued or omega v hangman fueds a few years ago in aew. For me these have matches that reach much higher highs than the ospreay v brian match because of all the work and context leading up the a big pay off. Its about caring about the characters not the moves.
I loved Bayley vs Iyo so much. It makes me mad that I finally got my Bayley face turn and it feels like they've done very little with her current run until that Piper match at Clash.
Storytelling in wrestleing is a real important part of it, however I like it to be done in the ring, if cinema wrestleing is your thing and you want years of drama 15 min entrances and sports entertainment thats cool. But i do think its easier to watch a great in ring match.especially if youre re watching for a list

Although, i'm disappointed that there aren't more womens matches here,especially when Sareee and Mayu Iwatani are doing the best work right now. Hell i'd have them be 1 and 2 in the top 10 this year.

Cody vs Roman/ Mayu Iwatani vs Syuri (both 6* to me) 3.) Swerve vs Osprey/ Copeland vs Malakai Black/ Iyo vs Bayley (all on the same level to pick just one there.)

That glass bump by Darby is still ingrained into my mind. Other favourites include: Ospreay/Takeshita, Roman/Cody 2, Swerve/Ospreay, Dijak/Oba/Briggs (Big meaty men slapping meat), Ospreay/Danielson (not as high for me as the other Ospreay matches, my hot take), Gunther/Sami, FTR/BCC (Revolution), Rhodes/Styles (Backlash), and Slater/Speedball (North Wrestling- it’s on KZread, go watch it. Underrated) Honourable mentions: Perez/Grace, Anarchy in the Arena, ZSJ/Cassidy and Wolf Dogs/Axiom and Frazier (both NXT Stand and Deliver and NXT)
I prefer the analogy of aew being like a 10 minute guitar solo and wwe is a great pop song. While I admire the skill of 10 minute guitar solo, it's more like a technical demonstration that leaves me cold and I'm not coming back for more. A band working together to create a great song and all the elements are cooking, That's great wrestling
Best match of the year in my opinion so far is a tie between Cody Rhodes Vs Roman Reigns and Will Ospreay vs Bryan Danielson
Despite thinking the build could've been better because the rock was taking up too much tv time for weeks & I think they were some attempts to try to sabotage it so people wouldn't want it to main event night one. I think Bayley vs iyo was a really good match. But if you think bayley vs iyo sky was a match of the year so far you should probably check out sareee vs maiyu iwatani for the iwgp women's champion, mayu iwatani vs syuri for the iwgp women's champion & sareee & bozilla vs giulia & utami because I thought these women's matches are just as go as bayley vs iyo sky if not better. I also expect giulia vs sareee, utami hayashishita vs iyo sky & maybe Roxanne perez vs giulia to be in the match of the year category when they happen this year.
Rhodes Vs Reigns is my number 1. The happiest of endings to a long term story. WWE listening to and rewarding fans. Kayfabe explanations for Undertaker's involvement: his history with Reigns, plus as the noted head of Wrestlers Court, he's enforcing justice.
Is Luke cosplaying as Dan????
The Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns is my #1! This year for Wrestling has been so much fun! Cant wait to see if anything can top C Vs R for me.

Cody & Roman is #1 …. The wrestling part and also the overbooked part … it’s the best match of the year and nothing will beat it.

First of all, Roman was Undertaker's last "official" Wrestlemania opponent and its where he left all his gear in the ring, signifying he was done. THEN the following night Roman had the arrogance to go "This is MY yard now" during the promo that perfectly showed he was best as a heel. Undertaker was linked to Roman, especially at Wrestlemania and understandably had some revenge that was worth getting

Just to let you know I still think the match was fantastic, but it's not my number 1.
My hot take? Endgame > Infinity War

It's the payoff and fan service in the best sense of 10 years of film. It hits hard!
Sammi zayne vs Gunther is on this list I'm sorry I have to disagree on that and would rather have Gunther vs Jey Uso on WWE raw because u get Gunther chopping down his opponent which is what was missing from his WM match against SZ if Gunther would have beaten SZ then yes put it on the list but since he didn't take him seriously take it off the list like Simon Miller I give that choice a down 👎
No Women's Royal Rumble is insane.

Idk why but this list actually feels perfect. I honestly can’t find anything to complain about.🤷♂️
Man I’m so sick of tempest! Bring back Brian!!
According to tempest's mindset, any match no matter the pre existing story can be better than just 2 really awesome wrestlers trying to see who is better. I wish i could think that simply but i need all the drama and soap opera wrestling is to make everything 10x better.

bro you are just conditioned by WWE to expect drama in every match. before WWE wrestlers never gave two craps about the story and still became legends. There are so many more ways to get invested in the product than just drama. Tempest has legit seen all kinds of wrestling hence he understands that aspect. Not every match needs to be cinema. Some matches are just 2 people fighting to see who is the best. World has moved to a broader perspective now. Drama is not the only criteria anymore.

A good match can overcome a bad story but a bad match can ruin a good story. pretty much every Bray Wyatt match ever.
Tempest knows ball

Ospreay has great matches. Just because he's finally in a major american promotion doesn't mean this just came suddenly. Any one with a hit of knowledge been known that Ospreay is one of the greatest if not THEE greatest wrestlers today.

Wont list both halves of the bloodline mania matches for the same reason you don't put all the lord of the rings movies in your top 10... But doesn't question listing all of the star wars franchise aka Ospreay matches.

I dont see the problem here. Is Will Ospreay only allowed 1 match?
