ngl how was the triple threat between LA Knight, Carmelo, and Andrade left off the list??? the best match on that crown jewel card and one of the best triple threat matches on the main roster i’ve seen in a while
I still can't believe he missed this match out lol😂. I think He was kinda high. The way bro hyped up that match on his crown jewel review video I thought he was about to put that match into the top 5 list. He mentioned it a number of times that he'll for sure add this match in his Match of the Year video.
i think it's just that when you have so many good matches in the entire year it'd be hard to choose just a few of them. some would get passed over sadly
I wouldn’t have watched them all because you could save those extra videos for the days he doesn’t upload, so you still have a video to watch that day.
My top 10 matches of the year 1. Cody vs Roman 2. Drew vs punk hell in a cell 3. Oba vs dijack vs Josh Briggs 4.Mens war games 5. Chase u vs fraxium 6. Lyra vs iyo 7. Gunther vs Randy 8. Gunther vs Damian 9. Iyo vs bayley 10.woman’s deadline match List can change but off top of my head
Bro the was about Main roaster otherwise 10 match would be from NXT,the Two Gauntlet match of last ple would be in the list,every Fraxiom match will be at the list.
I fucking love Priest vs Gunther from Summerslam, they really stole the show, real graps and a great ending for the reign of Priest and his character's arc; definitely in my top 5 of the year. Not considering the obvious choices as Roman vs Cody and the HIAC, I want mention Rollins vs Drew from Wrestlemania , it's so underrated. One of the best opener in Mania history, perfect in his execution with a fantastic storytelling between the two and the addition of Punk at commentary and the amazing cash in of the briefcase.
Top 10 Matches 10- The Rock & Roman vs Cody & Rollins 9- Randy vs Gunther (Bash in Berlin) 8- LA Knight vs Carmelo vs Santos (Crown Jewel) 7- Women’s Iron Survivor Match (NXT Deadline) 6- Men’s War games Match (Survivor Series) 5- AJ vs Cody (Backlash) 4- Punk vs Drew (Rollins Special Guest Ref) (Summer Slam) 3- Sami vs Gunther (WrestleMania 40) 2- Punk vs Drew (Hell in a Cell Match) (Bad Blood) 1- Cody vs Roman (Bloodline Rules) (WrestleMania 40)
Imo, Bronson vs Braun is the best free tv match of the year My top 20: 1. Punk vs Drew HIAC 2. Cody vs Roman 3. Iyo vs Bayley 4. Roman & Rock vs Cody & Seth 5. streetlight Backlash 6. Randy vs Gunther K&QotR 7. Cody vs Aj Backlash 8. Men’s Wargames 9. Women’s MITB 10. Bronson vs Braun 11. Women’s Rumble 12. Sami vs Gunther WM 13. Iyo vs Lyra IC Semifinals 14. Gunther vs Damian Summerslam 15. Jey vs Bron the one Jey wins 16. Solo vs Cody Smackdown 17. Women’s Elimination Chamber 18. Rhea Vs Becky 19. Sami vs Gunther Raw 20. Bayley vs Tiffany vs Naomi
Hmm I'm confused. You claimed several times (rightfully so) that Andrade vs Melo va LA Knight at Crown Jewel was a MOTY contender... and it's out of the top 20?
The Punk/McIntyre Trilogy really delivered like what an incredible year. So many bangers and incredible moments. Cody finishing his story, Rhea/Liv/Dominick, Damien Priest and Gunther having fantastic reigns. Banner year.
Nxt was also cooking this year my favorite 10 matches in no order. 10. Kelani Jordan vs Sol Ruca-Heatwave 9.Roxxanne Perez vs Jordan Grace-Battleground 8.Men's Iron Survivor 7. Women's Iron Survivor 6.Ilja Dragunov vs Trick Williams-Vengeance Day 5.Ilja Dragunov vs Trick Williams-Spring Breakin 4.Trick vs Spears vs Ego vs Evans -Heatwave 3.Fraxiom vs NQCC-Deadline 2.Fraxiom vs Chase Heatwave 1.Oba vs Briggs vs Dijak

I feel like Gunther vs Sami 2 on Raw was even better than their Wrestlemania match, partially because they had more build up, but also because it was one of those matches that showcases perfectly what's so great about those two. The only problem was the Ad break.
Man I know the men’s elimination chamber match wasnt the greatest in terms of in ring, but the moments in that match were so fun. Logan sneaking a hit on Randy. AJ STYLES FLYING AROUND THE WORLD TO STYLES CLASH LA KNIGHT ON A STEEL CHAIR WAS INCREDIBLE.
Here is my list for top 20 matches: (winners of the match in the left) Honorable Mentions: Any Andrade vs Carmelo match (bangers) Chad Gable vs Otis (Raw) (it was soo satisfying seeing Otis destroying not only Gable but the entire American Made group) Cody Rhodes vs Solo Sikoa (Smackdown) (it was a good match, but it still felt lukewarm) The Miz & The Final Testament vs The Wyatt Sicks (Raw) (Final Testicle's redemption arc) Lyra Valkyria vs Iyo Sky (Raw) (It was good technical women's match, that's it) Braun Stroman vs Bronson Reed (Raw) (BEEF and Seth) Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins (Wrestlemania 40) (the match is good as always but the afterparty is what is the best part) Both Royal Rumbles (great matches, great suprises, great winners) Women's match (Survivor Series) (it was super fun, and amazing spots, didn't agree with the end result) Top 20: 20. Solo & Tama Tonga vs Randy & KO (Backlash France) (A squash match with an amazing crowd) 19. Ilya Dragunov vs Ricochet (Raw) (do I need to talk about this, go watch it yourself) 18. Gunther vs Randy Orton (K.O.T.R.) (I enjoy both of them beating eachother up, and their first match is the best one) 17. Bron Breakker vs Sami Zayn (Raw) (the match where 3 pinfalls needed for the win was better than the dominant 6 minute match in the PLE imo) 16. FrAxiom vs No Quarter Catch Crew (NXT Deadline) (I only have seen highlights, but GODDAMN) 15. Bayley vs Iyo Sky (Wrestlemania 40) (people slept on this underrated match, and the story behind it was also amazing) 14. Randy Orton vs Kevin Owens (Crown Jewel) (the greatest squash match of 2024, and the SD next friday was the cherry on top) 13. Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns vs Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu (Bad Blood) (people forget the main event of BB bcs of HITC but this was good, and the appearances were the cherries on top) 12. Sheamus vs Butch Donnybrook (Raw) (my favorite special stipulation of this year, and this two killed it) 11. Jey Uso vs Bron Breakker (Raw) (YEET hit and delete, and what a way to win it by hitting every finisher Jey Uso had in his arsenal) 10. MCMG vs DIY then vs Bloodline (Raw) (Motor City's day of becoming champs felt the same as Cody Rhodes finally beating Roman, something everyone was asking for and finally got it after some time, and the fact that were two matches one after another, it felt like watching one match as a whole) 9. Bron Breakker vs Sheamus vs Ludwig Kaiser (Survivor Series) (I just wanted to put Ludwig Kaiser on this list, and this match justified it) 8. Bloodline Civil Wars (Survivor Series) (the only thing I hated was the emotes in the end, everything else, pearl) 7. LA Knight vs Andrade vs Carmelo Hayes (Crown Jewel) (a very cool triple threat match, better than the Raw version and close second to NXT version) 6. Oba Femi vs Dijak vs Josh Briggs (NXT Stand & Deliver) (holy cow Oba is soo godly good) 5. Sami Zayn vs Gunther (Wrestlemania 40) (honestly it felt like watching someone finishing their story, and if Gable was there it would've been that way and also my top 3) 4. The Rock & Roman vs Cody & Seth (Wrestlemania 40) (how could you forget the match where Mama Rhodes was gonna watch his son bleed by The Rock's belt and gonna set the BLOODLINE RULES match) 3. CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre (Bad Blood) (we all needed an amazing 5 star bloody match and we got it, it's just that I didn't like the crowd reaction, it felt lukewarm) 2. Cody Rhodes vs AJ Styles (Backlash France) (the most amazing crowd I have ever seen, felt like a european football derby game) 1. Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns (Wrestlemania 40) (this one need to be nominated for an Oscar, the way it was orchestrated was beyond any match possible, probably the greatest WWE match of all time, on a level with Shawn vs Taker)
Makes me proud of my goat at 44 years old still having 2 elite top 10 match of the year contenders. Especially with how much I see people call him boring and “not a big draw”. Hope Randy is back soon and in the world title picture.
Bro had a shocker in his Top 20 Wrestlers list forgetting Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and so many more - I'm worried he's going to forget something super obvious for this too
My Top 10 WWE PPV Matches of 2024: 10. Damian Priest vs. Gunther from Summerslam 9. Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match from Money in the Bank 8. The OG Bloodline vs. The Bloodline 2.0 from Survivor Series: WarGames 7. The Six-Pack Tag Team Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship Ladder Match from WrestleMania XL 6. The Women's Royal Rumble Match from Royal Rumble 5. Gunther vs. Sami Zayn from WrestleMania XL 4. Cody Rhodes vs. AJ Styles from Backlash: France 3. Cody Rhodes & Seth "Freakin" Rollins vs. Roman Reigns & The Rock from WrestleMania XL 2. CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre from Bad Blood 1. Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes from WrestleMania XL
My favourite match was the women’s iron survivor. I like when wrestling gets to be both great wrestling and also legitimately funny. My favourite non WWE match was Mercedes v Hazuki. It felt very reminiscent of Sasha v Bayley but just amped up to 11
I do agree with the point that the matches themselves dont need to be stretched out through like 6 months but tbf the story between Punk and Drew did technically start in like February and ended at Bad Blood in October which I thoroughly enjoyed the entire time
My top 3 1- Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match 2- Gunther vs Priest Summerslam 3- Roman Rock vs Rhodes Rollins (have you notice their name all start whit Ro)
CM Punk and Drew’s HIAC match and Sami vs. Gunther were both matches that I invited my friends over to come see which by the way they have never watched wrestling before and they all loved both of them
My favorites this year (doesn’t have to be in order) - Drew vs punk (obviously)🔥 - Aj vs cody (especially their match at backlash) 😍 - Bayley vs iyo - Roman vs Cody
1. Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes WM 2. CM Punk vs Drew Mcintyre Bad Blood 3. Cody Rhodes vs AJ Styles Backlash 4. Seth and Cody vs Roman and The Rock WM 5. Women's MITB ladder match 6. Tag Ladder Match WM 7. Men's Wargames Match Survivor Series 8. Gunther vs Randy Orton Bash In Berlin 9. Gunther vs Sami Zayn WM 10. Iyo Sky vs Bayley WM This are just the matches i enjoyed the most
Honorable mentions: 1) MITB both men and women 2) Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre Mania XL 3) LA Knight vs Carmelo vs Andrade 4) LA Knight vs Logan Paul 5) CM Punk vs Seth Summerslam 6) AJ Styles vs Cody Clash at Castle 7) Drew McIntyre vs Damian Priest Clash
LA knight vs Carmelo vs Andrade Bron Breaker vs Sheamus vs Ludwig Kaiser WrestleMania night 1 main Event Braun Strowman vs Bronson should be on the list Braun Strowman vs Bron Reed
I'd have the entire trilogy of Punk and Mcintyre in my top 20 tbh, the first match with Seth as Referee even though it doesnt come close to the other two, imo was a thing of beauty
I think u should’ve added both of the Cody vs AJ matches. Backlash and Clash at the castle cause they were both phenomenal matches and the crowds for both of them were historic
Day 240 of asking Santi to make a “Mt Rushmores of WWE” video E.g. Mt Rushmores of technical wrestlers, high flyers, sellers, comedy characters, mic workers, best heels, greatest matches, finishers, managers, entrance themes, debuts/returns, tag teams, factions, women’s wrestlers and GOATs
This happened earlier in the year but.. lowkey Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch. The one on March 11th 2024. This one actually had a lot of good stuff and spots. There is also Bron Breakker vs Sheamus vs Ludwig Kaiser and a lot of NXT ones
I'm fine with your list santi. 2024 was a great wrestling year but I think 2025 might be a little bit better. My favorite match of the year is Cody vs AJ at Backlash
1.Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns - WrestleMania XL 2.Cm Punk vs Drew Mcintyre - Bad Blood (choosing only one here) 3.Bayley vs Iyo Sky - WrestleMania XL 4.AJ Styles vs Cody Rhodes - Backlash France (if to choose one of them) 5.War Games Bloodline vs Bloodline - Survivor Series 6.Gunther vs Damien Priest - Summer Slam 7.Bronson Reed vs Braun Strowman - Raw 8.Gunther vs Randy Orton - Queen and King of the Ring (if to choose one) 9.Men's Royal Rumble 2024 10.Gunther vs Sami Zayn - WrestleMania XL 11.Tag Team Ladder Match - WrestleMania XL 12.Bayley vs Nia Jax - Summer Slam 13.Triangle Ladder Match - SmackDown 14.Liv Morgan vs Rhea Ripley - Summer Slam 15.Damien Priest vs Drew Mcintyre - Clash at the Castle 16.The Blooodline vs Kevin Owens and Randy Orton -Backlash France 17.Bayley vs Tiffany Stratton vs Naomi - Backlash France 18.Seth Rollins vs Drew Mcintyre - WrestleMania XL 19.Logan Paul vs Kevin Owens - Royal Rumble 20.Gunther vs Sheamus - Raw
Randy vs gunther at bash in berlin is my personal fav match since it brought me to tears in realizing we dont have randy for too much longer. The match made me forget that wwe is scripted and i thought that randy might just win
Santi makes everyone hate on the Women’s wargames match but that was my first war games as a new fan and aside from the ending, one of the best matches I’ve even seen.
My only problem with Cody vs Roman was that you knew the whole time the match wasn't going to end before The Rock got involved. My best and most enjoyable match of Wrestle Mania was Samy vs Gunter
yo theres a bet where the odds of logan paul, kevin owens and la knight to make an apperance on wreslemania 41 is high. which wreslter has the highest odds. pls answer
Gotta disagree on the Orton V Gunther match at Bash being better than Priest V Gunther at SS. I think the Priest match was paced better, the moment felt much bigger, and it just did a lot more for both guys in the match career wise. I mean Gunther finally became a WHC and Priest got firmly cemented as more than a paper champion with the fans even in defeat, whereas the Orton match a BiB just didn't move the needle for either guy. I might even put that Priest match above the Orton match at KotR, but I'd have to rewatch them
day 186 of asking santi for a video where former nxt or main roster wwe superstars/factions would be in there wwe careers if they never left or never got released.

Tiffany Time ❤️ 💕
I can't believe you put Jey vs jimmy at number 1
ngl how was the triple threat between LA Knight, Carmelo, and Andrade left off the list??? the best match on that crown jewel card and one of the best triple threat matches on the main roster i’ve seen in a while
For real he even said that match would make his top 10 matches of the year when he eventually was to make this video
@@cobain_is_boi296 everyone, please upvote this till he notices it, thanks!
I still can't believe he missed this match out lol😂. I think He was kinda high. The way bro hyped up that match on his crown jewel review video I thought he was about to put that match into the top 5 list. He mentioned it a number of times that he'll for sure add this match in his Match of the Year video.
He said in one of his twitch streams that he had COMPLETLY FORGOT ABOUT THE MATCH when making the list
Bro completely forgot the night 1 main event between THE FINAL BOSS and Roman reigns vs Seth rollins and Cody rhodes
IT'S GONNA BE BLOODLINE RUULES!!LOOK AT YOU NOOOW!! MAMA RHOOODES
Was just about to comment this, he definitely forgot about it
i think it's just that when you have so many good matches in the entire year it'd be hard to choose just a few of them. some would get passed over sadly
That’s worthy of an honorable mention but I feel like it started a bit too slow for it to crack top 20
Maybe but Santi glazed this match and said multiple times thats one of his favourite matches@deadzone6661
3 videos in 24 hours I feel spoiled santi!!! 😂
I usually don't comment like at all 💀
Fr, 3 amazing vids 😂

My match of the year is still Axiom & Nathan Frazer vs Chase U from NXT Heatwave.
This list is main roster only
@ I don’t care. It’s my match of the year overall.
That match was fantastic
That destroyer from Andre Chase was amazing!!
My dream match for 2025 is Fraxiom vs. The Lucha Bros.
The Punk-Drew feud wasn’t 2 months long, it was literally 8 months of storytelling
Facts wtf is Santi talkin bout lol
@@mtssolo8940talking about the matches itself not the fued
8 months of storytelling, not the feud itself
They fought three fights in two months. Just because the injuries. Drew was winning and competing in those months
He meant the matches themselves, not the feud
My top three
Punk vs Drew HIAC
Oba vs Briggs vs Dijak
Cody vs Roman
You’re such a santi dicksucker, get your own opinion you jag off, havent even finished the vid yet ik its santis top 3
Bro the was about Main roaster otherwise 10 match would be from NXT,the Two Gauntlet match of last ple would be in the list,every Fraxiom match will be at the list.
Day 274 of asking you to rank every superstar based off of pure in ring ability
now is the best time for your feel turn bro please stop this. he’s not doing daily vids anymore either way it will die.
@@jajel2274don’t listen to him jordan
@@jajel2274if he turns heel it shouldn’t be giving up it should be switching to daily antagonizing Santi til he does it
Best match of the year was Jordan’s Day 1 request. #finishthestory
Finish your story
I fucking love Priest vs Gunther from Summerslam, they really stole the show, real graps and a great ending for the reign of Priest and his character's arc; definitely in my top 5 of the year. Not considering the obvious choices as Roman vs Cody and the HIAC, I want mention Rollins vs Drew from Wrestlemania , it's so underrated. One of the best opener in Mania history, perfect in his execution with a fantastic storytelling between the two and the addition of Punk at commentary and the amazing cash in of the briefcase.

The Punk/McIntyre Trilogy really delivered like what an incredible year. So many bangers and incredible moments. Cody finishing his story, Rhea/Liv/Dominick, Damien Priest and Gunther having fantastic reigns. Banner year.
Honorable mention from me: Logan Paul vs Kevin Owens vs Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40
W
Logan vs Cody although no shock factor was really good too
The Roman Cody match at WM40 had my eyes glued to the screen and gave me chills during the second half of the match 🥶🔥
Some underrated gems that you missed.
IYO vs. Bianca (RAW)
IYO vs. Lyra (QOTR)
LA vs. Melo vs. Andrade
I agree with those and if he included nxt I feel like Lani vs Sol should’ve been on there from heatwave and the fatal 4 way at heatwave as well.

I feel like Gunther vs Sami 2 on Raw was even better than their Wrestlemania match, partially because they had more build up, but also because it was one of those matches that showcases perfectly what's so great about those two. The only problem was the Ad break.
My favorite Sami Zayn match this year was the best of 3 match against Bron Breaker in the IC rematch on raw
@@kalebt2868 That was also really cool. Was the one where Bron threw Sami like a dart, right?
Man I know the men’s elimination chamber match wasnt the greatest in terms of in ring, but the moments in that match were so fun. Logan sneaking a hit on Randy. AJ STYLES FLYING AROUND THE WORLD TO STYLES CLASH LA KNIGHT ON A STEEL CHAIR WAS INCREDIBLE.
No La knight vs Carmelo vs Andrade is wild

Honorable Mentions:

The Miz & The Final Testament vs The Wyatt Sicks (Raw) (Final Testicle's redemption arc)
Lyra Valkyria vs Iyo Sky (Raw) (It was good technical women's match, that's it)
Braun Stroman vs Bronson Reed (Raw) (BEEF and Seth)

Both Royal Rumbles (great matches, great suprises, great winners)

10. MCMG vs DIY then vs Bloodline (Raw) (Motor City's day of becoming champs felt the same as Cody Rhodes finally beating Roman, something everyone was asking for and finally got it after some time, and the fact that were two matches one after another, it felt like watching one match as a whole)

19:50 Iyo vs Bianca some months ago on Raw >>>
Yes I agree also Kelani vs Sol at heatwave and the fatal 4 way at heatwave.
Makes me proud of my goat at 44 years old still having 2 elite top 10 match of the year contenders. Especially with how much I see people call him boring and “not a big draw”. Hope Randy is back soon and in the world title picture.

CM Punk and Drew’s HIAC match and Sami vs. Gunther were both matches that I invited my friends over to come see which by the way they have never watched wrestling before and they all loved both of them
My favorites this year (doesn’t have to be in order)
- Drew vs punk (obviously)🔥
- Aj vs cody (especially their match at backlash) 😍
- Bayley vs iyo
- Roman vs Cody
Crazy that there was no Knight/Melo/Andrade triple threat on here considering how much Santi loved it
Great video. Day 193 of asking for comparisons of the current main rosta to veterans/retired/HOF Wrestlers I.e. Dom and Eddie, Sami and Hulk
Day 4 of trying to get santi to admit that finn and jd had the greatest title reign of 2024 everyday in 2025 ⚖️😈🇮🇪
I'd love for you to do a list of top 10 TV matches of the year.
1. Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes WM
2. CM Punk vs Drew Mcintyre Bad Blood
3. Cody Rhodes vs AJ Styles Backlash
4. Seth and Cody vs Roman and The Rock WM
5. Women's MITB ladder match
6. Tag Ladder Match WM
7. Men's Wargames Match Survivor Series
8. Gunther vs Randy Orton Bash In Berlin
9. Gunther vs Sami Zayn WM
10. Iyo Sky vs Bayley WM
This are just the matches i enjoyed the most
Honorable mentions:
1) MITB both men and women
2) Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre Mania XL
3) LA Knight vs Carmelo vs Andrade
4) LA Knight vs Logan Paul
5) CM Punk vs Seth Summerslam
6) AJ Styles vs Cody Clash at Castle
7) Drew McIntyre vs Damian Priest Clash
LA knight vs Carmelo vs Andrade
Bron Breaker vs Sheamus vs Ludwig Kaiser
WrestleMania night 1 main Event
Braun Strowman vs Bronson should be on the list
Braun Strowman vs Bron Reed
I'd have the entire trilogy of Punk and Mcintyre in my top 20 tbh, the first match with Seth as Referee even though it doesnt come close to the other two, imo was a thing of beauty
I think u should’ve added both of the Cody vs AJ matches. Backlash and Clash at the castle cause they were both phenomenal matches and the crowds for both of them were historic
Day 240 of asking Santi to make a “Mt Rushmores of WWE” video
E.g. Mt Rushmores of technical wrestlers, high flyers, sellers, comedy characters, mic workers, best heels, greatest matches, finishers, managers, entrance themes, debuts/returns, tag teams, factions, women’s wrestlers and GOATs
Surprised la knight vs Andrade Vs Carmelo Hayes wasn’t on here but great list
What happened with the la knight Carmelo and Andrade??
THANK YOU SANTI for also to agree that punk vs mcintyre at bad blood was the best match of the year
The most underrated match of the year is either punk drew summerslam or the fantastic match between ilja vs sheamus vs drew on raw
This happened earlier in the year but.. lowkey
Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch. The one on March 11th 2024.
This one actually had a lot of good stuff and spots.
There is also Bron Breakker vs Sheamus vs Ludwig Kaiser and a lot of NXT ones
I'm fine with your list santi. 2024 was a great wrestling year but I think 2025 might be a little bit better.

Men’s Wargames
Solo vs Cody (smackdown)
Bloodline vs Randy/KO
It’s sad how this guy hype up NXT so much only to ignore it the last couple of months
valid asf 1 & 2 are definitely interchangeable
YES! Ricochet vs Ilja was SOOOO good dude
Thanks for the video
The dude finished his story, you gotta rank wrestlers on in-ring ability Santi
Randy vs gunther at bash in berlin is my personal fav match since it brought me to tears in realizing we dont have randy for too much longer. The match made me forget that wwe is scripted and i thought that randy might just win
Hello Mr S. Zap, please make a video on the best match of each gimmick match/ stipulation (hell in a cell, street fight, ladder match etc)
All 3 of Lyra and Iyo's matches could be on this list in all honesty.
Si Backlash France has 3/5 matchs in your top !
Thanks ! To me it was the best PLE of the year !
You forgot the triple thread match between La Knight Andrade and Carmelo Hayes at Crown Jewel 🥲
Day one of me saying 🙏"I LOVE YOU SANTI!!!!!"🙏
Santi makes everyone hate on the Women’s wargames match but that was my first war games as a new fan and aside from the ending, one of the best matches I’ve even seen.
Anyone else just love hearing this man yap about wrestling
Does this include NXT? If so, I was surprised that I didn’t see Oba Femi vs. Dijak vs. Josh Briggs at Stand and Deliver.
The year 2023 was better, you are just delusional because the first 4 months of 2024 was good, after that the year was trash
Where are the Kaiser vs Sheamus vs Breakker and Carmello vs Andrade vs LA Knight triplethreat matches?
American made vs the wyatt sicks street fight was a freaking banger
I'm suprised no one talks about it
Methstreams is down :( any recommendation for an alternative available in the UK for tonight's smackdown?
I think they're gonna stream it for free on TH-cam
@@panoC97 thanks
The Ladder Match at Wrestlemania deserves to be on the list.
My only problem with Cody vs Roman was that you knew the whole time the match wasn't going to end before The Rock got involved. My best and most enjoyable match of Wrestle Mania was Samy vs Gunter
YOOOOO DAILY WRESTLING CONTENT HAS MADE IT'S LONG AWAITED RETURN
How do you snub LA Knight vs Andrade vs Carmelo Hayes?
Santi pronouncing glasgow correctly 💪💪💪💪
Guy said daily videos are gonna
stop in 2025… then he proceeds to post 3 videos in on day 😂
You have 3 Backlash matches in your Top 20 and your Raw Review partner - Denise, had Backlash as the by far the worst WWE PLE of the year loooool 😂
yo theres a bet where the odds of logan paul, kevin owens and la knight to make an apperance on wreslemania 41 is high. which wreslter has the highest odds. pls answer
blud tried to sneak Colombia with Argentina and Brazil as a great South American crowd. You ain't slick bro 😂😂
Gunther Truly is The Ring General
Are you going to include NXT? Oba Femi vs Dijak vs Josh Briggs is my favorite nxt match, also Fraxiom vs NQCC
LA Knight vs Andrade vs Carmelo Hayes is definitely top 10
2024 HHH > Vince 2010s
The streak continues
Not having WrestleMania night one Main event demonstrates that every fan has very different Styles of writing since for me it was a masterpiece.
Gotta disagree on the Orton V Gunther match at Bash being better than Priest V Gunther at SS. I think the Priest match was paced better, the moment felt much bigger, and it just did a lot more for both guys in the match career wise. I mean Gunther finally became a WHC and Priest got firmly cemented as more than a paper champion with the fans even in defeat, whereas the Orton match a BiB just didn't move the needle for either guy. I might even put that Priest match above the Orton match at KotR, but I'd have to rewatch them
The night 1 main event???
Rewatch Gunther vs Dominik mysterio 1 that was a good match.
My favorite Match of the year was LA Knight vs Carmelo Hayes vs Andrade
Surprised LA vs Andrade vs Carmelo Hayes didn’t make this list
WWE in 2024 was the year of debuts. So many major signings
Big fan of Gunther but the match in Bash In Berlin shouldn't be on the list😅
Worst take of 2025 lmao
Seth and Cody vs rock and Roman has gotta be the most underrated match that the real number 1
The gauntlet on Raw that led to Sami winning the chance to face off against GUNTHER at Mania is an honourable mention in my book. That match fucked.
Also, no Crown Jewel triple threat us a bit surprising.
day 186 of asking santi for a video where former nxt or main roster wwe superstars/factions would be in there wwe careers if they never left or never got released.
