Can someone make a list of top 5-10 matches of 2016 ? 2016 was the year where I missed out on a lot of wrestling. I think the top matches for me were Aj Styles vs John Cena, AJ styles vs Roman Reigns from the PPV after wrestlemania, the three team ladder match from ROH that Young Bucks won, Colt Cabana vs Dalton Castle from Final Battle.... You guys have any other matches that need to be seen?

The Revival vs DIY from TakeOver Toronto is a fucking classic.

Any Scurll vs Ospreay match, but probably the RevPro January one
Ospreay vs Ricochet, if only for the rage it sparked
Chris Hero vs Ishii from RevPro Global Wars N1
I hear Hero vs Shibata from RevPro Global Wars N2 was even better
Riddle vs Ospreay from PROGRESS
Scurll vs Hero from PROGRESS also got rave reviews

EDIT: Oh yeah, Ospreay vs KUSHIDA as well

A Christmas episode of WWE programming that was good and continued story advancement instead of just taking the week off? Smackdown continues to surprise me!

Also orchestrated John Cena theme was something special, he should use it when he wins that 16th title at WM.

Watching the Authentic Untold Story of ECW on the Network and not only is it awesome to see Taz again but the emotion and anger that man displays is godly.

If we get a spot next week where AJ goes for the Phenomenal Forearm but gets caught in the End of Days.

I knew the guys helped a lot with ECW but I didn't know that Bubba Ray booked venues.

Paul talks about how if he did one thing different it would have been to hire a marketing/ad sales guy.

I would have suggested two more things, open a line of credit against due profits and hire a dedicated business manager.

ECW really was impressive for what it was. ROH, LU, and TNA are their own things now, but nothing quite fits the ECW mold.

Real talk - that ref should have gotten sued for that. At that point he was pretty much attempting to disfigure a man who was borderline unconscious, which is well beyond simply depending himself and the wrestlers.

Psshhh. Don't enter the Pee Wee Zone if you can't handle his brand of justice.

At the point where he's picking up the kids limp body and trying to fucking twist his face and/or strangle him is pretty excessive since security was already right there.

I don't see him looking at security. I see him looking at the threat, and neutralizing it, because he's a dangerous, dangerous man, Sephzilla.

Don't jump rails at shows.

Right. You're not part of the show. If you hop the rail, no one knows what you're going to do (at best, you're just some rude Gus) so expect a beatin'. You make that deal when you jump into the ring, in my opinion, Sephzilla.

You don't take chances when some crazy person jumps the rail and gets in the ring. You don't know what the fuck is going to happen.

VKF are entirely a parody promotion, iirc. Also, he's not meant to be Bone Soldier, the costume just happens to be equally as terrible as Bone Soldier's - he plays a different character each show, I believe. And the dude playing Tama is Konoka Pehlwan, the greatest yoga master/indie sleazebag in wrestling. Probably the only one, tbh, but sod it.
