10 Wrestlers You Should Be Most Thankful For This Year

Thank you Lesnar, thank you Cena, thank you, thank you, thank yooooooooou...

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! If you're American, you know exactly what to expect from this holiday - food and family (or more accurately, too much food and too much family). If you're not American, you still probably know that Thanksgiving is a day when the genocide of native peoples in what has become the United States is ignored in favor of a celebration with nebulous origins and little to no connection to anything concrete. Nevertheless, it never hurts to be thankful, and despite the sorry state of WWE as we approach the end of 2015, there are still plenty of men and women in the company and the sport who have been a pure joy to watch all year long. Booking issues aside, these individual performers have always delivered in the ring, their matches helping us to forget not just the problems with wrestling in general, but any problems we may have. After all, who can think about car payments or an overbearing boss when Brock Lesnar is F5ing The Undertaker? In the supposed spirit of, well, today, here are the ten wrestlers you should be most thankful for this year. Oh, and if you're Canadian, sorry about the lateness of the piece.
