10 Wrestling Matches You Won't Believe Happened In 2020
4. The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever (WWE Backlash)
They already knew what everybody else knew before the bell rang.
Edge and Randy Orton weren't going to have literally the greatest wrestling match ever, and the poor f*ckers were moved to mention this in every bit of press they did beforehand, then try and flesh that out after the fact. They were competing in something called The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever, and once that distinction is clear, so too is the path to enjoying it.
With carefully curated and edited spots, a warm nostalgic glow in the introductions and one of the first uses of the simulated crowd that's become the norm in the ThunderDome, this will ultimately be remembered as one of the more prosperous experiments this year.
It was boring as sin at times, but that comes as standard with Orton matches. Elsewhere within the guts of what proved to be a fairly worthy pay-per-view main event, it located a brand of exhilaration their empty arena WrestleMania match completely forgot about, and would have probably be toasted more had it not marked an injury setback for Edge's return.
