Here's 5 matches to recommend for 2008 1. Any Undertaker vs Edge match 2. Batista vs John Cena at Summerslam 3. Chris Jericho vs Shawn Michaels at No Mercy 4. Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair 5. Triple H vs Edge vs Jeff Hardy
My pick for 2008 is Undertaker vs Edge at Mania 24! There are probably “better” matches, but this is the most underrated Mania main event imo. The story going into this was really good, Edge had his first crack in the main event of Mania, and the two had a perfect chicken shit heel (who can still get the job done on his own merits) vs the badass world destroying face. Plus, this was the feud that got me into wrestling. My first wrestling memory was Edge beating Mick Foley’s ass on Smackdown before Summerslam 2008 and Edge (Adam now haha) is to this day my favorite of all time. The only thing that would have made this match better would be if Edge won at Mania 23 so they could have a Streak vs Streak match
This year, Ilya Vs Melo match that happened last week, is the best NXT match so far in the 2.0 era. When it comes to main roster, Damien Vs Bad Bunny was truly fun to watch.
Personally, I think Sami Zayn vs Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber is the best match to take place this year. It was the conclusion to one of the greatest storyline arcs in wrestling history, plus it elevated Sami Zayn into the main event scene which was long overdue.
Personally, I think Rhodes vs Reigns was a better match, its just a shame it had such a lackluster ending. Not even because Roman won but it ended the same way every Reigns title match has ended all year in the main event of WM.
@@thekempter1991Nah Roman’s best match of 2023 was definitely the one against Sami (with Sami hard carrying). To me it had more emotion. I would definitely put Sami and Ko vs the USO’s at WM above it as well (again had more emotion). But yea it’s always the same ending with Roman’s matches and it’s been going on far too long.
That brought back some memories! PPV at Silver City was always a blast! It made the exciting moments that much more memorable when you have a whole theater full of people who love the product just as much as you do!
For 2008, it's gotta be HBK vs. Jericho in a ladder match from No Mercy. I was 9 at the time and probably at the peak of my fandom, and was so unbelievably invested in the feud with Shawn being my favourite wrestler. You really owe it to yourself to watch as much of this feud as possible in the lead up to the blow off ladder match. They had other matches prior to this one, and a plethora of great segments as well. You would probably have to start with HBK and Flair at Mania to get the full scope of the story and just find every RAW segment and match featuring either guy after that from Mania onwards. It sounds like a lot, but it's worth it, because the storytelling was fairly complex and nuanced, especially for a pro wrestling story.
Recently discovered you not that long ago and man Santi you made me even more of a fan of wrestling and giving other shows a chance (yes ik im a Roman shill since the beginning ahah) love the content!
The Undertaker Vs. Edge at SummerSlam 2008 was great and so was Shawn Michaels Vs. Ric Flair at Wrestlemania. I also liked Cena Vs. Batista at SummerSlam as well.
Cody v Seth at HIAC is definitely more iconic than the banger Sheamus and Gunther put up, and it's the one WWE fans actually voted as best match of the year, so I gotta go with that one for 2022.
Angle 03-06 was pretty great too. Brock-Eddie-HBK-Mysterio/Orton. Sure he lost 3/4 of them, but man I can rewatch all of them back to back and still be hooked on every move
Here are my picks for the best/ favorite match of each year from 2012(the year I got into wrestling) and now 2012- Rock VS Cena 2013- Undertaker VS Cm Punk 2014- Team Cena VS Team Authority 2015- Cena Vs Rollins Vs Lesnar 2016- John Cena Vs AJ Styles SummerSlam 2017- The Shield VS Miz, Strowman, Kane and The Bar 2018- Royal Rumble 2019- Team Raw VS Team SmackDown VS Team NXT 2020- Royal Rumble( arguably the best rumble of all time imo) 2021- Royal Rumble again!! 2022- Cody VS Seth Hell In A Cell 2023- Usos Vs Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa
I LOVE the 2020 Royal Rumble match. It is the best one of all time no argument. Brock Lesnar entering at #1 as the WWE Champion and going on a killing spree. Drew McIntyre being the perfect person to eliminate Lesnar. The crowd exploded when he claymored him over the rope. That moment made Drew an instant star. Edge's amazing and emotional return after 9 years, and then at the end, we all thought Roman was going to win, but Drew claymored his face off and threw him over the rope to win!
Yea team Cena vs team authority is easily the best match of 2014 (it’s one of the best matches if not the best match I’ve ever seen). But u said the bar for 2017? Wasn’t it the miztourage and not the bar? And I would say the better match for 2023 was another tag match that was Sami and KO vs the USO’s at WM. That match was overall better.
I got a match for you for 2008 if you’re open to looking for underrated TV title matches & just underrated matches in general. December 26th, 2008 episode of Smackdown: Hurricane Helms Vs Shelton Benjamin for the US title. It’s not THE match of 08, but it’s just a fun bout between two underrated workers who’s style compliment one another to a tee.
I started high school in 2008 and also stopped watching around the same time. I’m pretty sure this happened with a lot of people. Wonder if there’s correlation to the show and why people tuned out at that time.
While the crowd and surprises helped the Bad Bunny vs. Damian Priest match, it's still mind blowing how Bad Bunny performed and the way Priest sold Benito's moves.
That's crazy, 2008 was the best year of wrestling imo. Forget match, you need to watch the La Familia vs Edge angle in in its entirety. And Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho. Peak
Imo 2002: Hulk Hogan vs The Rock Wrestlemania X-8 2003: Kurt Angle vs Brock Lesnar SD iron man match 2004: Triple Threat Wrestlemania 20 Match 2005: Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania 21 2006: Kurt Angle vs Undertaker No Way Out 2007: Batista vs Undertaker Wrestlemania 23 2008: Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair Wrestlemania 24 2009: Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania 25 2010: Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania 26 2011: Cm Punk vs John Cena MITB 2012: Triple H vs Undertaker Wrestlemania 28 2013: Cm Punk vs Brock Lesnar Summerslam NXT 2014: Sami Zayn vs Adrian Neville Takeover R-Evolution 2014: Triple Threat match Wrestlemania 30 NXT 2015: Finn Balor vs Kevin Owens Takeover Brooklyn 2015: Triple Threat match Royal Rumble NXT 2016: Sami Zayn vs Shinsuke Nakamura Takeover Dallas 2016: Dolph Ziggler vs The Miz No Mercy NXT 2017: Tyler Bate vs Pete Dunne Takeover Chicago 2017: Aj Styles vs John Cena Royal Rumble NXT 2018: Andrade vs Johnny Gargano Takeover Philadelphia 2018: Daniel Bryan vs Brock Lesnar Survivor Series NXT 2019: Adam Cole vs Johnny Gargano Takeover New York 2019: Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston Wrestlemania 35 NXT 2020: Walter vs Ilja Dragunov NXT UK 2020: Mens Royal Rumble match NXT 2021: Walter vs Ilja Dragunov Takeover 36 2021: Triple Threat match Wrestlemania 37 [I stopped watching nxt] 2022: Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins HIAC 2023: Usos vs Ko and Sami Zayn Wrestlemania 39
In regards to 2020, I believ The “greatest wrestling match ever” between Edge and Randy Orton has to take the cake. So much emotion. So much drama. It was fantastic, and the choreography, even if scripted and edited, was still so smooth
A few goodies from 2008 is HBK vs. Ric Flair at Wrestlemania 24 HBK vs Chris Jericho at No Mercy Undertaker vs Edge at both Wrestlemania and One Night Stand and Jeff Hardy vs Edge vs Triple H at Unforgiven
I watched the Wyatt Family vs The Shield at EC for the first time earlier this year and it blew me away. It easily jumped right into my top 5 favorite matches of all time.
fun fact santi I was also first really getting into the wwe in 2002 as yourself.... my first ppv was the rumble that year, I can agree hbk vs HHH was a banger but I would have personally gone the edge/rey vs angle/benoit match at no mercy, few others I loved was brock vs taker hell in a cell and Taker vs Jeff hardy ladder match on raw. well done on the good content my man
I’m only 15 so I have never watched some of the matches on your list. So I think a great video idea would be “Matches that every wrestling fan should watch”.
9:02 I can relate to you santi 100% but with John Cena lol. I stopped watching in 2016 as I started high school but started watching again in 2021 when John Cena came out at MITB to confront The tribal chief Roman reigns
Hey santi! Just wanted to tell you, you aren’t alone! I also fell victim to that stigma when I began High School. I regret it, but I’m making up for it now!

The fact that the Kurt angle iron man match was less than 24 hours after he found out his sister died from overdose and then nearly overdosed himself and still did this is incredible. Angle was just ridiculous
I’m just realizing you stopped watching for a bit during my personal favorite era of wrestling for 07-09. I was born in 2000 so that era like 2005-2013/14 was absolutely special to me. It’s always interesting to see the opinion of fans who were slightly before my time. I also stopped watching for a long time after 2014 and would hear things about the WWE after but I didn’t watch n keep up with it. Then in 2020 I watched that years rumble cause of covid and what else was I supposed to do lmao, and that’s when edge returned to the rumble and put on a show and that nostalgia made me crack open the door to the world of wrestling again ever so slightly. Nowadays I’m following it and watching all your videos so you could say I’m back in lol. Now that I’m slightly older at 23 and realized idc what people think I can be interested in the things that Interest me. Absolutely love your channel, keep up the amazing work!
I never watched a lot of NXT (unfortunately, I very much regret it) but I still remember watching Pete vs Tyler at NXT Takeover Chicago and holy shit, one of my favorite matches ever
My favourite so far for this year has to be The Usos vs KO and Sami at mania. The emotion and storytelling was just🔥🔥🔥. Also loved Roman vs Sami from elimination chamber and The Usos vs Roman and Solo at mitb.
I went to 2 of those matches! Bianca Belair vs Sasha Banks at WM 36 and Bad Bunny vs Damian Priest at PR 🇵🇷🇵🇷 my hometown! glad that u consider them match of that year as I thought the same thing!
2008-Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels 2013-Cm punk vs Brock Lesnar 2014~Survivor Series match 2018~Seth vs Miz vs Finn 2020~Roman vs Jey I quit match 2021~Edge vs Bryan vs Roman
Totally disagree with the 2021 and 2023 matches. For me 2021 match of the year goes to that INSANE hell in a cell match between Rollins and Edge and 2023 goes to the Bloodline Civil war at MITB.
If we had to include ALL types of matches into the ranks, including Rumbles, Chambers, Survivor Series matches, etc. I'd definitely put a few on here. 2002: Michaels v HHH SummerSlam 2003: Angle v Lesnar Iron man match 2004: Triple threat at Mania 20 2005: Kurt v Michaels 2006: Cena v Edge Unforgiven 2007: Cena v Michaels on Raw 2008: Edge v Undertaker SummerSlam 2009 and 2010: Michaels v Taker 2011: Punk v Cena MITB 2012: HHH v Taker 2013: Cena v Bryan 2014 and 2016: 5v5 Survivor Series mens match 2015: Lesnar v Cena v Rollins 2017: Lesnar v Strowman v Joe v Reigns SummerSlam 2018: Bryan v Lesnar Survivor Series 2019: Men's Elimination Chamber 2020: In terms of cinematic match, Firefly Funhouse match. In terms of actual match, Reigns v Jey Clash of Champions 2021: Men's MITB match. I really want to go with either main event of mania cause they were SO good, but i can't help but love MITB, especially with the right man Big E winning. 2022: Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins. Again, coin flip between thst and Gunther v Sheamus. 2023: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens v Usos. Coin flip between that and Bloodline Civil war at MITB 2024: So far, it's the Triple threat between Knight, Styles, and Randy.

John Cena vs CM Punk is one of the best championship of all time. Orton vs Christian was amazing but nowhere near CM Punk vs John Cena, especially with the atmosphere.
2008 matches in no particular order - Undertaker vs Edge Summerslam - Batista vs Cena Summerslam - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania - Undertaker vs Edge Wrestlemania - Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho No Mercy - Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho Unforgiven - Jeff Hardy vs Edge vs Triple H Armageddon Best Rivalry: Undertaker vs Edge, or HBK vs Y2J

I just signed up💙
Dude, can we give Ilja Dragunov vs Carmelo Hayes some love? Their no mercy match made me go crazy
I did it but I’m not sure if it worked I have it installed already
Here's 5 matches to recommend for 2008
1. Any Undertaker vs Edge match
2. Batista vs John Cena at Summerslam
3. Chris Jericho vs Shawn Michaels at No Mercy
4. Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair
5. Triple H vs Edge vs Jeff Hardy
2008 HBK vs Jericho at No Mercy and that year actually had one of the most enjoyable Royal Rumble matches I’ve seen
No Mercy 2008 - Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho
My pick for 2008 is Undertaker vs Edge at Mania 24! There are probably “better” matches, but this is the most underrated Mania main event imo. The story going into this was really good, Edge had his first crack in the main event of Mania, and the two had a perfect chicken shit heel (who can still get the job done on his own merits) vs the badass world destroying face. Plus, this was the feud that got me into wrestling. My first wrestling memory was Edge beating Mick Foley’s ass on Smackdown before Summerslam 2008 and Edge (Adam now haha) is to this day my favorite of all time. The only thing that would have made this match better would be if Edge won at Mania 23 so they could have a Streak vs Streak match
I think their match at Summerslam was better but yea WM24 and charles Robinson running for his life is legendary
Samew
This year, Ilya Vs Melo match that happened last week, is the best NXT match so far in the 2.0 era. When it comes to main roster, Damien Vs Bad Bunny was truly fun to watch.
Personally, I think Sami Zayn vs Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber is the best match to take place this year. It was the conclusion to one of the greatest storyline arcs in wrestling history, plus it elevated Sami Zayn into the main event scene which was long overdue.
But not better than Usos vs Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at WRESTLEMANIA 39
Personally, I think Rhodes vs Reigns was a better match, its just a shame it had such a lackluster ending. Not even because Roman won but it ended the same way every Reigns title match has ended all year in the main event of WM.
My favorite match in 2023 has to be Sami and Kevin vs Judgement Day at Payback.
@@thekempter1991Nah Roman’s best match of 2023 was definitely the one against Sami (with Sami hard carrying). To me it had more emotion. I would definitely put Sami and Ko vs the USO’s at WM above it as well (again had more emotion). But yea it’s always the same ending with Roman’s matches and it’s been going on far too long.
That brought back some memories! PPV at Silver City was always a blast! It made the exciting moments that much more memorable when you have a whole theater full of people who love the product just as much as you do!
For 2008, it's gotta be HBK vs. Jericho in a ladder match from No Mercy. I was 9 at the time and probably at the peak of my fandom, and was so unbelievably invested in the feud with Shawn being my favourite wrestler. You really owe it to yourself to watch as much of this feud as possible in the lead up to the blow off ladder match.

It sounds like a lot, but it's worth it, because the storytelling was fairly complex and nuanced, especially for a pro wrestling story.
2008 is easily Ric Flair vs HBK at that year's Wrestlemania
Chris Jericho Vs HBK No Mercy
Undertaker v edge WM 24
Jeff hardy vs hhh vs edge
Edge vs Undertaker is right up there
Dude, 2008 Royal Rumble.... The miraculous recovery & Return of John Cena
2008 - Edge vs Undertaker Summerslam HITC
2008 - I enjoyed that Jeff Hardy v HHH v Edge at Armageddon with Jeff finally winning the big one for the first time.
Recently discovered you not that long ago and man Santi you made me even more of a fan of wrestling and giving other shows a chance (yes ik im a Roman shill since the beginning ahah) love the content!
Him, maven , Stevie Richards and MarkyD are all you need for wrestling content.
The Undertaker Vs. Edge at SummerSlam 2008 was great and so was Shawn Michaels Vs. Ric Flair at Wrestlemania. I also liked Cena Vs. Batista at SummerSlam as well.
2008 Summerslam undertaker sending edge to hell is one of my favorite memories of wwe
For 2003 I had a hard time picking between Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit RR, or Kurt Angle Brock iron Man match. Both were classics.
Cody v Seth at HIAC is definitely more iconic than the banger Sheamus and Gunther put up, and it's the one WWE fans actually voted as best match of the year, so I gotta go with that one for 2022.
Cmqk91moo1mmmoo1k ooq k0p1m o9 ooq kpp1 oo1mk001mk00- 1k991k991mk99qo991mmo9qmo901k991mk99qk
Gunther vs Sheamus was more my style hard hitting brawlers hitting earth shattering strikes
Hbk wrestlemania run was insane 03-10. Wonder what was a better run that. Or undertaker wrestlemania 07-13 run
Angle 03-06 was pretty great too. Brock-Eddie-HBK-Mysterio/Orton. Sure he lost 3/4 of them, but man I can rewatch all of them back to back and still be hooked on every move
Edge/Taker WM, Flair/HBK WM, Edge/Taker SummerSlam, and my personal favorite from 08’ Y2J/HBK at No Mercy
Here are my picks for the best/ favorite match of each year from 2012(the year I got into wrestling) and now
2012- Rock VS Cena
2013- Undertaker VS Cm Punk
2014- Team Cena VS Team Authority
2015- Cena Vs Rollins Vs Lesnar
2016- John Cena Vs AJ Styles SummerSlam
2017- The Shield VS Miz, Strowman, Kane and The Bar
2018- Royal Rumble
2019- Team Raw VS Team SmackDown VS Team NXT
2020- Royal Rumble( arguably the best rumble of all time imo)
2021- Royal Rumble again!!
2022- Cody VS Seth Hell In A Cell
2023- Usos Vs Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa
I LOVE the 2020 Royal Rumble match. It is the best one of all time no argument. Brock Lesnar entering at #1 as the WWE Champion and going on a killing spree. Drew McIntyre being the perfect person to eliminate Lesnar. The crowd exploded when he claymored him over the rope. That moment made Drew an instant star. Edge's amazing and emotional return after 9 years, and then at the end, we all thought Roman was going to win, but Drew claymored his face off and threw him over the rope to win!
Good I started in 2010
For 2019 is that the men or women
@@characudagod8002 Men
Yea team Cena vs team authority is easily the best match of 2014 (it’s one of the best matches if not the best match I’ve ever seen). But u said the bar for 2017? Wasn’t it the miztourage and not the bar? And I would say the better match for 2023 was another tag match that was Sami and KO vs the USO’s at WM. That match was overall better.
The best match of THIS year I think was Roman reigns vs Cody Rhodes
Seth Rollins vs shinsuke?? Not even that good
Aah nah. Finn vs seth summerslam and finn priest vs ko and sami at payback was way better than seth vs nakamura
My favourite match of 2023 so far is Roman Reigns vs Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber
Sami vs Roman
Sami, Ko vs Usos
Rhea vs Charlotte
Edge vs Sheamous
Team cant beat roman(seth, sami, jey, cody, randy) vs Judgment day
I got a match for you for 2008 if you’re open to looking for underrated TV title matches & just underrated matches in general. December 26th, 2008 episode of Smackdown: Hurricane Helms Vs Shelton Benjamin for the US title. It’s not THE match of 08, but it’s just a fun bout between two underrated workers who’s style compliment one another to a tee.
It’s still so wild to me that 2 out of the 3 original Wyatt family members are gone. RIP
Royal Rumble 2008 should be in contention for best match of that year.
John Cena was highly underrated as a In-ring performer...
The reason Kurt vs Taker happened before mania is because there was no plans for taker to be champion and also for taker not to lose his streak
Bro santi likes undertaker and Shawn A LOT like there was so much matches with those guys
I started high school in 2008 and also stopped watching around the same time. I’m pretty sure this happened with a lot of people. Wonder if there’s correlation to the show and why people tuned out at that time.
Fun fact: WrestleMania 25 is one of the few PPV DVDs my family purchased. I’m confident it’s because of HBK vs Taker, and if it’s not, it is now.
Shitting on Dave just earned you a sub 😂
2008 gotta be Taker v Edge Summerslam or Ric vs Shawn at mania 24
You Should Watch Undertaker vs. Edge One Night Stand 2008
While the crowd and surprises helped the Bad Bunny vs. Damian Priest match, it's still mind blowing how Bad Bunny performed and the way Priest sold Benito's moves.
That's crazy, 2008 was the best year of wrestling imo. Forget match, you need to watch the La Familia vs Edge angle in in its entirety. And Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho. Peak
I personally believe that Orton vs Edge at Backlash was the best match of 2020
Wild that you didn’t even mention Sami/KO vs. The Usos. I will never forget the ending to that match
What I remember most from that match is as soon as it ended Nick kahn got up from his seat and bounced like he was mad the usos lost lol
Bro 2021 best match was Ilja dragunov vs Walter II
2008. HBK v Jericho at No Mercy. In fact, their Trilogy of matches will do, but the one at No Mercy is just the best.
Imo
2002: Hulk Hogan vs The Rock Wrestlemania X-8
2003: Kurt Angle vs Brock Lesnar SD iron man match
2004: Triple Threat Wrestlemania 20 Match

Maybe shawn vs jericho no mercy 08. Santi needs to watch best matches of 08!
Best match of 2008 would hands-down be the Royal Rumble match that year. Cena's surprise return blew the roof off MSG.
took a drink for every "year" Santi and its not looking good. Cheers man, u legend
I’m surprised that you didn’t a put Sami zayn vs Neville nxt evolution it was the best match of 2014 you broke my heart 😢
Nah that match is nothing compared to
Randy vs cena hiac
Byran vs randy vs batstia
Sheamus vs ceasro
Evolution vs Shelid
In regards to 2020, I believ The “greatest wrestling match ever” between Edge and Randy Orton has to take the cake. So much emotion. So much drama. It was fantastic, and the choreography, even if scripted and edited, was still so smooth
Exactly, orton was so good and he effortlessly brought back the legend killer with that punt kick ending. Man that is the best match of 202p
Honestly there’s two in my book for 08. EdgevTaker at WM 24 and also FlairvHBK same WM.
HHH Vs Benoit Vs HBK and HBK Vs Angle are both near perfect.
i would change 2017 for Triple H vs Seth Rollins on WM and 2022 for Cody and Seth in HIAC, my fav matches of that 2 years
Only 2 matches screaming at me for 2008 are HBK vs Ric Flair at WM24 or HBK vs Y2J in a Ladder Match at No Mercy 2008.
2008 matches -
HHH va Jeff Hardy
Ric Flair vs Michaels
Michaels vs Jericho
i drank every time he said year,, i woke up 2days later
A few goodies from 2008 is HBK vs. Ric Flair at Wrestlemania 24 HBK vs Chris Jericho at No Mercy Undertaker vs Edge at both Wrestlemania and One Night Stand and Jeff Hardy vs Edge vs Triple H at Unforgiven
2008 is Floyd Mayweather vs Big Show at WM24
2013 SHOULD’VE BEEN THE MAIN EVENT FOR WRESTLEMANIA
Honestly all of WrestleMania 24 and most of Summerslam '08 is fantastic
greatest wrestling channel ever
2020 for me was Ilja vs Walter UK CHAMPIONSHIP match that was hard hitting match
Make a list of your top 10 current favorite wrestlers in order
2008 is either edge vs undertaker one night stand or edge vs undertaker at summerslam
I watched the Wyatt Family vs The Shield at EC for the first time earlier this year and it blew me away. It easily jumped right into my top 5 favorite matches of all time.
fun fact santi I was also first really getting into the wwe in 2002 as yourself.... my first ppv was the rumble that year, I can agree hbk vs HHH was a banger but I would have personally gone the edge/rey vs angle/benoit match at no mercy, few others I loved was brock vs taker hell in a cell and Taker vs Jeff hardy ladder match on raw. well done on the good content my man
In the 2010’s I totally agree with all matches
18:15 if you didn’t get to see Santi on NXT takeover Toronto.
I’m only 15 so I have never watched some of the matches on your list. So I think a great video idea would be “Matches that every wrestling fan should watch”.
9:02 I can relate to you santi 100% but with John Cena lol. I stopped watching in 2016 as I started high school but started watching again in 2021 when John Cena came out at MITB to confront The tribal chief Roman reigns
Hey santi! Just wanted to tell you, you aren’t alone! I also fell victim to that stigma when I began High School. I regret it, but I’m making up for it now!

The fact that the Kurt angle iron man match was less than 24 hours after he found out his sister died from overdose and then nearly overdosed himself and still did this is incredible. Angle was just ridiculous
I’m just realizing you stopped watching for a bit during my personal favorite era of wrestling for 07-09. I was born in 2000 so that era like 2005-2013/14 was absolutely special to me. It’s always interesting to see the opinion of fans who were slightly before my time. I also stopped watching for a long time after 2014 and would hear things about the WWE after but I didn’t watch n keep up with it. Then in 2020 I watched that years rumble cause of covid and what else was I supposed to do lmao, and that’s when edge returned to the rumble and put on a show and that nostalgia made me crack open the door to the world of wrestling again ever so slightly. Nowadays I’m following it and watching all your videos so you could say I’m back in lol. Now that I’m slightly older at 23 and realized idc what people think I can be interested in the things that Interest me. Absolutely love your channel, keep up the amazing work!
U have one of the best wwe videos ever man keep it up u mind doing a worst match of each year now? Would be fantastic 😂🔥
W Santi for calling Meltzer a dweeb and for 2008 the triple threat match between Jeff Hardy vs HHH vs Edge at Armageddon
I never watched a lot of NXT (unfortunately, I very much regret it) but I still remember watching Pete vs Tyler at NXT Takeover Chicago and holy shit, one of my favorite matches ever
My favourite so far for this year has to be The Usos vs KO and Sami at mania. The emotion and storytelling was just🔥🔥🔥. Also loved Roman vs Sami from elimination chamber and The Usos vs Roman and Solo at mitb.
Mine has to be Rhea ripley vs Charlotte wm or Roman reigns vs sami zayn at ec
I went to 2 of those matches! Bianca Belair vs Sasha Banks at WM 36 and Bad Bunny vs Damian Priest at PR 🇵🇷🇵🇷 my hometown! glad that u consider them match of that year as I thought the same thing!
Sasha vs Bianca was at WM 37 :)
Maybe do Greatest WWE Moment For EVERY Year
It's natural. He is the GOAT when you talk about matches.
1:35
You should do a best feud of each year
Chris Jericho vs Shawn Michaels World Heavyweight Championship Ladder match. No Mercy 2008. Fantastic Ladder match.
Punk v taker being acknowledged. Thank god
2008-Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels
2013-Cm punk vs Brock Lesnar
2014~Survivor Series match
2018~Seth vs Miz vs Finn
2020~Roman vs Jey I quit match
2021~Edge vs Bryan vs Roman
Rollins vs Rhodes hiac 2022 is easily greater it’ll be remembered more
2008 is Flair vs HBK Mania 24. It is one of my favorite matches of all time.
I agree with most of your opinions, Santi!! ❤
Big meaty men slappin meat? C'mon Santi 😂😂😂😂😂
2008 chris Jericho and Shawn Michael’s no mercy
2008 edge vs taker hell in a cell at summerslam
I really liked Dragon Lee vs Dom. I hope to see a lot more of Dragon Lee on the main roster soon.
Totally disagree with the 2021 and 2023 matches. For me 2021 match of the year goes to that INSANE hell in a cell match between Rollins and Edge and 2023 goes to the Bloodline Civil war at MITB.
The match from 2008: It has to be michaels vs flair wrestlemania 24. You can't duplicate that emotion
For me, best match for 2015 was ECW Originals vs Wyatt Family on Raw. It was December 2015
This year's Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus at Payback was so electrifying !!!
If we had to include ALL types of matches into the ranks, including Rumbles, Chambers, Survivor Series matches, etc. I'd definitely put a few on here.
2002: Michaels v HHH SummerSlam
2003: Angle v Lesnar Iron man match
2004: Triple threat at Mania 20
2005: Kurt v Michaels
2006: Cena v Edge Unforgiven
2007: Cena v Michaels on Raw
2008: Edge v Undertaker SummerSlam
2009 and 2010: Michaels v Taker
2011: Punk v Cena MITB
2012: HHH v Taker
2013: Cena v Bryan
2014 and 2016: 5v5 Survivor Series mens match
2015: Lesnar v Cena v Rollins
2017: Lesnar v Strowman v Joe v Reigns SummerSlam
2018: Bryan v Lesnar Survivor Series
2019: Men's Elimination Chamber
2020: In terms of cinematic match, Firefly Funhouse match. In terms of actual match, Reigns v Jey Clash of Champions
2021: Men's MITB match. I really want to go with either main event of mania cause they were SO good, but i can't help but love MITB, especially with the right man Big E winning.
2022: Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins. Again, coin flip between thst and Gunther v Sheamus.
2023: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens v Usos. Coin flip between that and Bloodline Civil war at MITB

Let me know your guys favourite matches from each year
For 2008:
Ric Flair vs HBK at WM
Jeff Hardy vs Edge vs HHH at Armageddon
Chris Jericho vs HBK at No Mercy
Drew McIntyre v Randy Orton in Hell In A Cell Match imo was really good in 2020 aswell
You should do the same video but for only nxt black and gold.
2013 cena v punk raw is the best match of that year
2011 HAS to be Randy Orton vs Christian at Summerslam in a no DQ match for the world championship. That match was total gold
John Cena vs CM Punk is one of the best championship of all time. Orton vs Christian was amazing but nowhere near CM Punk vs John Cena, especially with the atmosphere.
2009 for me has to be Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy at wrestlemania that was probably one of my favorite matches of all time
2008 matches in no particular order
- Undertaker vs Edge Summerslam
- Batista vs Cena Summerslam
- Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania
- Undertaker vs Edge Wrestlemania
- Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho No Mercy
- Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho Unforgiven
- Jeff Hardy vs Edge vs Triple H Armageddon
Best Rivalry: Undertaker vs Edge, or HBK vs Y2J
I think 2015 was Rollins vs cena at summer slam
