10 Best Wrestling Matches Of 2020

11. Honourable Mention #1 - Stadium Stampede AEW Double Or Nothing

Almost more impressive than any of the matches to make the list proper, it was too unique a beast to rank alongside what we knew of pro wrestling before 2020 briefly changed it.

But Jesus Christ was it needed. Fusing creativity and levity, this absurd and joyous situational masterpiece no-sold grim reality and provided elusive, impossible escape for 35 transcendent minutes.

The actual wrestling was great. This was the crucial bit.

The Young Bucks unleashed the PWG insanity of old by vaulting off a field goal; Kenny Omega absorbed brutal punishment in his plunder brawl with Santana and Ortiz; Hangman Page performed an incredible backflip from the most acute angle you'll ever see in his stiff barroom brawl with Jake Hager. This even folded in sound psychology, bizarre as that may read as a take on a match in which Matt Jackson executed a 100 yard-long suplex chain: the babyfaces, after an epic rivalry spanning months, effectively corralled the heels en route to the feel-good win.

But this was about the feeling, the absurdity, the sheer fun. Everybody will have their favourite moment.

But it's wrong if it ain't Chris Jericho smashing a mascot flush in the f*cking jaw with a Judas Effect.
