Hey there, folks!! I just felt like sharing my 2020 MOTY list to anyone here who's interested

This list is based off matches from WWE, AEW, and NJPW this year.

Yes, I've seen ALL of these wrestling matches in 2020

Feel free to give your overall, detailed thoughts about this MOTY list, and please feel free to share your MOTY lists or your top favorite matches from this year

The best part of that list is you didn't have Hybrid2 v.s Young Bucks.

I don't agree with most of it though. Too much NJPW, too many 10/10s. Perfect matches happen rarely, not every other week.

 

[Hoss]

KIF not agreeing with good ratings for matches he's never seen. Disgraceful really.

But I certainly agree that there are too many 10s here by my standards.

I'm not discountin' that those NJPW matches are great but 10/10 means a perfect match. I haven't gave any match a full 5 in six years. I just don't understand this scale.'

Edit: DC I know I am comin' off as bit off an asshole here but anyone that reads my star ratings, I'm always on about people challengin' my ratings if they disagree. If a match can garner discussion, it really left a lastin' impression with you either for good or bad. I just want to see your insight on this.

No match has been a ten, maybe WALTER v Dragonov is a 9 my match of the year, AEW Cody v Brodie was off the charts too easy 8 but not one match was flawless that's when you give a ten. Good picks tho D.C., really impressed.

I'd pop if mox gets his working visa to face KENTA! Man now that's a match I wanna see.

Forgot Kenny and hangman v FTR and UE v Imperium there nines all day long , same as Kenny v Hangman that was my favorite match in AEW this year, the story and build up was there but hangman got injured and still is through the match, if it hadn't ended early maybe a ten from me would of definitely been on the cards. Mox v Eddie were eight both matches too.
