@@tomorrows_dream Oh for sure Sheamus definitely had no issue with Drew saying it. Those guys are best friends. But Drew only said it cuz fans said it first so it is on the fans who brought it up.
I understand everyone wanting Austin during Roman/Cody, but it makes more sense for the Undertaker to be there. Undertaker had direct beef with both Rock and Roman, with Roman effectively retiring Taker from full-time wrestling. Also, Undertaker is like the physical manifestation of Wrestlemania, so him kind of protecting Cody/Wrestlemania from Rock/Roman makes a ton of sense. Also also - it was a nice way for Taker to finally get his one last special in-ring moment in front of real live fans. I would have loved Austin, maybe in addition to Taker, but not in place of him.
Best of 2024: Rock & Roman vs. Seth & Cody WM 40 Night 1 Cody vs Reigns WM 40 Night 2 AJ Styles vs Cody Backlash France AJ Styles vs Cody I Quit Match CATC Scotland Drew vs Priest CATC Scotland Ilja Dragunov vs Ricochet RAW Liv vs Becky RAW
Nice to see somebody respecting Drew vs Priest. That match was great, Priest sold his ass off/fought through a genuinely nasty accident and he earned my respect big time. That was the match that made Priest for me, imo. He is a legitimate world champion and I look forward to seeing what he does after this title run.
The way I describe it. Cody vs Roman is the best sports entertainment series of moments. Cody vs AJ is the best wrestling match As someone who hasn’t watched a WWE PPV/PLE in years, I thoroughly enjoyed both
Simon, the title that looks similar to the old Big Gold World Heavyweight Championship is the Women’s World Championship. The title that looks like the WWE title is the WWE Women’s Championship. If it looks like big gold it’s the world title, if it has the big W it’s the WWE women’s title. Pretty simple and you know your history to remember the old championships to help you remember.
@17:46 - Yeah it was fun but with all the shenanigans and "show ups" involved in it, it was clear they were saving Rhodes and Reigns (at the expense of Rollins) a bit? I think Reigns comes back at HotMania to FIX his Table.
Can't Argue with this list at all besides I would add the Tag team ladder match from Wrestlemania there somewhere 7-10 as I'm a big specialist match fan. Wrestlemania produced banger after banger but Cody and Roman by far the best match due to all the madness. I called everyone who came out and thought Stone Cold would at end but still was great with Taker
Both Cody/AJ matches Drew/Ilja/Shaemus from RAW Cody/Roman 2 Iyo/Bayley at Mania Rock/Roman vs Seth/Cody. Drew/Priest Oba Femi/Dijak/Josh Briggs ilja/Ricochet Gunther/Sheamus Gunther/Sami
Gary RUclips says Zayn vs Gunther should be on everyone's list, also Ripley vs lynch at mania should get some attention too! Also maybe the men's royal rumble too! Atta boy Simon for putting some of these bud.
Tag titles need some love all 3 titles need to be better and I wouldn't be opposed to a mixed tag division being a thing but they need a lot of work to get what they have sorted. Reunite Strowman and bliss Dom and rehab Naomi and whatever USO I think Jimmy Liv and Finn Nikki"Carrie like" Cross and gacey lumis Rowan just pick one Otis and Maxine like they have a few mixed tags they could do already and could build up a few more before introducing those belts. Like do the mixed tag challenge again just have an actual prize for winning the thing. As Mr Miller would say "despite what Ghostbusters said cross the streams" i actually enjoy intergender matches on the indies. You could have Strowman intimidating Naomi in the corner and have the USO (again I can't remember who she's married to) push Strowman into her or he dodged USO he splashes his wife that's how they loose.. You don't have to have them get in the ring together but spots like that'd be cool. Actually have the men and women touch and more than Rhea squashing poor tazawa. Seriously my guy just go to AEW they respect Japanese wrestlers way more than WWE sorry it's the truth. You're way too good to be the joke WWE has made you.
If wrestling is basically fake fighting in tights, and is all about how that makes you feel in your tum tum, then Roman vs Cody at WM40 is arguably the greatest match of all time.
@12:17 - again with the chops. Seems like WWE has gone chop crazy lately? Give me the old 1 through 10 punch over a single chop to the chest. Chops don't sell it for me. I've caught them in the chest and yeah it stings but it just makes me mad. Punch me in the head and after a couple things get dizzy. Couple chops to the chest and yer just making me more angry. Chops just don't sell the violence IMO.
WWE should have given Stone Cold whatever he wanted to get him at WrestleMania on night two. No shade to Undertaker, but Stone Cold would have just been better.
@@vishalramadhin1261 he could still come out and give the Rock a stunner. I'm not saying it wasn't cool to see Taker, but Austin would have been so much better. Like a cheeseburger is good, but Austin would have been bacon on the cheeseburger to make it that much better.
Cole screaming "this is why I love pro wrestling" after the most b.s sports entertainment match possible made me cringe so hard. I never want to see the rock wrestle again I don't even want him on WWE TV in any way shape or form. Blatant attempt to distract from the Vince allegations I don't have nostalgia glasses glued to my face he wasn't good in his prime and his promos are 3rd grade level bully stuff THAT HE COULDN'T EVEN COME UP WITH HIMSELF 25 years ago. He's admitted several times to having writers help him with the majority of his promos. that Armageddon HIAC promo ALL OF IT WAS WRITTEN FOR HIM and that's not even talking about him being mediocre at best in the ring any great matches he's ever had was because of his opponent doing the heavy lifting. I just want the bloodline to end I don't care anymore. Stop Bloodline is WWE version of the nwo it just won't fuckin die. Having 1 good segment every 3 months if they're lucky isn't good enough to keep this crap going for half a decade.
Do yourself a favor today, friendo. Go outside and breathe some genuine fresh air for the first time this year, touch some grass and get some real problems. You're miserable and it shows.
I am a huge fan of Dragonov right now. He seems to only put on bangers... The 3 way with Drew and ShaMoos was one of my favorites of the year.
Definitely think Oba Femi vs Dijak vs Josh Briggs deserves some love, one of the best matches from mania weekend!
That was the best NXT match so far this year.
Call da police!
Its crazy that Cody is in at least top three of everyone's list of best WWE matches this year so far. Very well deserved.
For the first time in a long time, the face of the company actually feels genuine and not like a corporately created bootleg
@@nalday2534 Facts!
"Burger after burger after burger"...that wasn't us, Simon. Blame Drew!
Drew said it the week after fans said it because he’s always on Twitter
@@23lacross Right, but don't you think he cleared that line with his best bud Sheamus?
@@tomorrows_dream Oh for sure Sheamus definitely had no issue with Drew saying it. Those guys are best friends. But Drew only said it cuz fans said it first so it is on the fans who brought it up.
@@23lacross My point being, can it really be called "fat shaming" when the subject of the joke is a willing participant?
People don't want to admit the backlash tag match was good because everyone thinks it's cool to hate to solo and the new bloodline
Cody dominated this list
I understand everyone wanting Austin during Roman/Cody, but it makes more sense for the Undertaker to be there. Undertaker had direct beef with both Rock and Roman, with Roman effectively retiring Taker from full-time wrestling. Also, Undertaker is like the physical manifestation of Wrestlemania, so him kind of protecting Cody/Wrestlemania from Rock/Roman makes a ton of sense.

Taker had nothing to do with bloodline storyline. Austin had everything to do with Hollywood Rock. Sorry but it should've been Austin
Best of 2024:
Rock & Roman vs. Seth & Cody WM 40 Night 1
Cody vs Reigns WM 40 Night 2
AJ Styles vs Cody Backlash France
AJ Styles vs Cody I Quit Match CATC Scotland
Drew vs Priest CATC Scotland
Ilja Dragunov vs Ricochet RAW
Liv vs Becky RAW
Not that last one but yeah

That was the match that made Priest for me, imo. He is a legitimate world champion and I look forward to seeing what he does after this title run.
I personally disagree on the last one but the rest were absolutely awesome
match of 2023 : LukeWarmWrestling V Simon miller after MITB
Match of 2025 : LukeWarmWrestling V Simon Miller II - the rematch
The way I describe it. Cody vs Roman is the best sports entertainment series of moments.
Cody vs AJ is the best wrestling match
As someone who hasn’t watched a WWE PPV/PLE in years, I thoroughly enjoyed both

Do I want to know what a warm, fuzzy num-tum is?
It's the same as "butterflies in my stomach".
14:22 Good lord, that freeze frame! I almost shot beer out of my nose when I glanced over and saw that XD
AJ Styles is a legend. Don't know how people can say otherwise 🤷🏻
I think Cody vs Logan Paul has been the best match of Cody's reign yet
@17:46 - Yeah it was fun but with all the shenanigans and "show ups" involved in it, it was clear they were saving Rhodes and Reigns (at the expense of Rollins) a bit? I think Reigns comes back at HotMania to FIX his Table.
Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania was excellent. Kind of stole the show i think
It was a one sided finisher fest. Didn't steal shit
@16:07 - ABSO the best match of the night!
@2:48 - The chops they traded and the blood on Seamus' chest? I wouldn't suffer that kindly even back in my day(30 years ago)
Underrated match this year was JD Mcdonagh Vs Ricochet on Raw that was crazy
I haven't been able to workout for a couple of months because of a shoulder injury as well, so feeling a bit pudgy so know how you feel Simon.
It's gonna be bloodline rules 👏👏 0:53
Why is it always raining when you film these Simon?? Lol

Both Cody/AJ matches
Drew/Ilja/Shaemus from RAW
Cody/Roman 2
Iyo/Bayley at Mania
Rock/Roman vs Seth/Cody.
Drew/Priest
Oba Femi/Dijak/Josh Briggs
ilja/Ricochet
Gunther/Sheamus
Gunther/Sami
I swear on everything last night i was bored and was messing around with chatgbt and asked what it thought the best matches of 2024 are so far
Great list!
For me, nia vs rhea at elimination chamber is incredibly underrated
Does Simon and Santi trade ideas for daily videos? Cuz I always see one or the other putting up the exact same content after the other one uploads.
Gary RUclips says Zayn vs Gunther should be on everyone's list, also Ripley vs lynch at mania should get some attention too! Also maybe the men's royal rumble too!
Atta boy Simon for putting some of these bud.
Men's Royal Rumble was bad
@@nalday2534 not really....the end made it very good
@@Gary_RUclips1 if the ending is the only thing you remember then it was probably bad overall
@@nalday2534 your ridiculous! if you didn't enjoy it, that's your opinion, but A LOT of us enjoyed it. Settle down.
@@Gary_RUclips1 you're the only one who had mentioned the Men's Rumble in the whole comments section bud 🫵🤣
Anyone who fat shames is wrong, anyone who fat shames Simon, they’ve made an enemy of me. I’ll be your back if you need/want it Simon. 💪🏾💪🏾
Rhea losing to Becky would be an even dumber booking decision than having the demon losing to Edge at Mania 39.
Tag titles need some love all 3 titles need to be better and I wouldn't be opposed to a mixed tag division being a thing but they need a lot of work to get what they have sorted.

do a aew list pls. i like wwe too but aew more my interest. keep it up simon.
I was expecting a troll pick or two, but nah, just a rock solid list here.
That's Johnny Sinns XXX 🎥
Simon, what do you think about WWE not PG right now? It's almost like the Attitude Era.
Yes indeed
Number 1 was one of the best matches ever… loved it
What shoulder injury was it?
I would have added Randy Orton Vs Carmelo Hayes . How could you leave that off your list ? that's annoying
Simon's cookn today.
Thank you for leaving the pandering to the other channel Simon, you’re the best. You look great mate flib off with the haters
Nope I can't wait to find out his top 10 AEW MATCHES OF 2024
I didn’t even notice Simon had gained weight. How insane do you have to be to call this man fat?
Also, Last Match was fantastic.
Tiffy Time!!!
If wrestling is basically fake fighting in tights, and is all about how that makes you feel in your tum tum, then Roman vs Cody at WM40 is arguably the greatest match of all time.
If me verses Ribbie in wwe 2k20 isn’t number 1 we riot! Great video though

AJ styles should have won the belt....at least one more time
Edge? You mean Adam Copeland? He went to AEW.
THAT BAYLEY VS IYO MATCH IS BETTER THAN MOST THE OF THE MATCHES ON THIS LIST
Very underrated match!
Bayley/Iyo was the best women's match of the year so far.
No. Mid match
@@nalday2534 yeah...4.5 stars is a mid match...so yeah...
@@RexyReyes-n7e 4.5 stars given by whom exactly?
I wonder if your this nice in person.
They told me to never meet my hero’s 🥺
❤❤❤❤

Not really taker can still move austin hardly
@@vishalramadhin1261 he could still come out and give the Rock a stunner. I'm not saying it wasn't cool to see Taker, but Austin would have been so much better. Like a cheeseburger is good, but Austin would have been bacon on the cheeseburger to make it that much better.
Now do worst matches of 2024

Stop copying Santi

I don’t think it’s the crazy to do a “top matches” of the first half of the year video, prolly a coincidence
