10 Best Matches From WrestleMania 35 Weekend
9. Will Ospreay Vs. Bandido (WrestleCon Supershow)

It featured all manner of high spots from two of the world's best high-flyers, who held nothing back at the conclusion of WrestleCon's Mark Hitchcock Memorial Supershow on Thursday. It wasn't all cocaine, all of the time though: this bout was defined by sharp, rhythmic pulses. Ospreay and Bandido settled into a slower groove on several occasions, only to come back to life with beautiful bursts of athletic violence. There were counters to counters to counters.
