Sting’s retirement not getting a single vote is blasphemous
That match made me teary eyed. How the F that match isn't here.
I'm guessing some people consider it to be emotional but not a great match.
Some people vote based on technical or on 5 star match etc
That’s what I’m saying. I saw that match live so I am incredibly biased, but how the hell did it go without a single vote
I was shocked it wasn’t there, but there’s been so many great matches that it’s hard to narrow it down imo
That was my match of the year I honestly thought it was gonna be number 2
Honorable mention Cody vs Aj at backlash. That crowd was insane
Can we call it the forgotten classic?
@ facts.
The crowd elevated that match, it was pure wrestling fun
@@diabeticman2194 shocked it wasn’t apart of anyone’s list
If it's not osprey, it wont be here. He's overrated
That hour long match between Osprey and MJF was nuts. My 10 year old son’s first live show. He became a huge MJF fan because of that match.
@TimRushing_B.O.B that might be my favourite TV match of the year, MJF is great at doing hour long matches
It was the first dynamite match I watched in about 6-8 months. Really special.
Hey look it's part 2 of "it's Ospraey innit?"😂😂😂
Ti's tho Init
Ospreay just arguably had two more MOTY candidates at worlds end this mf isn’t human
@Nick_T_90 NO SPOILERS HAVENT WATCHED YET
Just finished the TLC video for best matches. Now I'm here
Same lmao
I was at Dynasty and I’m still delirious about seeing Danielson vs. Ospreay live. I’ve been to a PPV in Chicago and this St. Louis crowd was louder than that for the ENTIRE match! It was so good that loads of wrestling journalists, independent of each other, reacted to this as the greatest match of all time on American soil. I was blessed to have been there.
I got to go yo Dynasty too. My first time seeing Will was when he faced Dax at Road Rager on the road to the first Forbidden Door and he instantly became my favorite modern wrestler. I was beyond excited for the match against Danielson. My son, sister and nephew always go to AEW in STL with me and they’re not huge wrestling fans but they too were on their feet cheering and screaming. It was the greatest experience I’ve ever had as a wrestling fan.
I was there too. That was an absolute magical match. Can’t believe how lucky I was
Dynasty was the first wrestling show I ever went to and it was so special
I don’t put that match over compared to others. It’s very well wrestled, but it’s not my favourite Ospreay match of the year
i think the craziest thing is that Stings retirement and Cody AJ at backlash WASNT HERE
I got to see cody vs roman at wm40 live and man, nothing in my opinion will ever top that match this year. Now im more of a wwe guy and i got nothing against the other wrestling promotions, I just watch more wwe than anything else. From the crowd, to the match, the wrestlers, the moment. Man....I felt like a little kid again watching wrestling. It was my first time being at WM and if thats the only one i ever attend then what a great WM for it to be.
@@NewYorkMC03 there was so much I loved about that match; from the video package, to the entrances (Brandi getting a massive pop), then the match itself and the Avengers Endgame esque final 10 minutes was peak pro wrestling for me
@diabeticman2194 Absolutely, both entrances were sooo cool. I really liked Cody's entrance with the mask and everything but Romans choir song was also insane!!! For the whole night the crowd was screaming and chanting but this match especially the crowd was loud.
@@NewYorkMC03 the choir was spine tingling, really made Roman feel like the final boss of WWE (sorry Dwayne)
Same man. I have seen so much wrestling live this year. I’m a moves person with aew giving me a lot of that but WWE has been killing it and seeing that Cody and Roman match live was just a feeling. Entrances, run ins, the final pin with 70k screaming fans and the moments. I loved being there live.
You guys need to watch the best Sareee & Mayu Iwatani matches of 2024. They deserve to be on this list.
Specially Mayu, Sareee vs Chihiro Hashimoto, VENY.
Mayu vs Sareee.
and recently Natsupoi vs Starlight Kid was great too.
Guys I love this chat when it comes around every year, just reminds me how much i love Wrestling, Jam that Jam :) Merry Christmas! 🎄❤
Here before the corny ass tribalists
Same here 😊😂
@@lwazithesyne4675 there's only 1 Tribal Chief. I love you Solo!
Bro its so annoying too
@@excitingstuff420ok this wins
😂😂
Cody vs Roman II was a masterpiece. Possibly the most fun I've had watching a wrestling match in my life.
PS. The title of the vid says "Wresting" instead of "Wrestling"
How the hell is sting/Darby vs young bucks at least not in the honorable mentions
I KNOW RIGHT?
That was my match of the year, sad it wasn’t mentioned but tbf it was a stacked year
They forgot about that match because he was soo early this year
@@pawedelmanowicz6100 that doesn't really make sense since Will Ospreay vs Takeshita is on this list and it was on the same show
Guess most who voted didn't vote based on emotion.
I.e 5 star matches and or recently bias
Solely a WWE fan here, i dont know anything about Ospraey lore/previous companies. Any MUST SEE recommendations to see his growth as a wrestler? Thanks :)
@@benlever5151 will vs Michael oku. Highly recommended
@@benlever5151 honesty check out any of the ones mentioned in this video. Him and pac, Bryan, Zach saber jr. Just binge watch them. You won’t regret it
Good place to start is Ospreay vs Ricochet in the super juniors. Then move to when he formed the United Empire in NJPW after Omega left and passed the torch to Ospreay as the top guy. Seriously watch that RevPro show with Oku. That shows such growth.
@ yes and speedball Mike Bailey was incredible as well. Honestly you can’t really go wrong
To really see his growth, start with his early Jr Heavyweight matches in NJPW.
BOSJ Finals vs Kushida
Sakura Genesis 2018 against Marty Scurll
Dominion 2019 against Dragon Lee are just a few examples
As a Heavyweight, I recommend
G1 Climax 32 Finals against Kazuchika Okada
New Japan Cup 2022 against Zack Sabre Jr
and the Michael Oku trilogy in RevPro.
You can also binge watch all his 5 star matches like I did. Watching those in order also shows his growth and development.
There where so many good matches to choose from this year, here's my top 15:
15 Women's MITB
14 Mercedes/Statlander (AEW Full Gear)
13 Willow/Statlander (AEW All Out)
12 FTR/BCC (AEW Revolution)
11 Ospreay/MJF (Dynamite 250)
10 Cody/Styles (WWE Backlash France)
9 Gunther/Zayn (WWE WrestleMania XL Night 1)
8 Fraxiom/Chase U (NXT Heatwave- seriously go watch this if you haven't)
7 Danielson/Ospreay (AEW Dynasty)
6 Swerve/Danielson (AEW All In)
5 Oba/Dijak/Briggs (NXT Stand and Deliver)
4 Punk/McIntyre (WWE Bad Blood)
3 Cody/Roman (WWE WrestleMania XL Night 2)
2 Ospreay/Takeshita (AEW Revolution)
1 Sting and Darby/Young Bucks (AEW Revolution)
Edit: a shame NXT Heatwave didn't make best 5 ppvs, top to bottom it is an excellent card
Agreed with a decent amount here. Also yes nxt needs more love. Consistent product, every wrestler is at least in something, and some occasional bangers (fraxiom and oba are incredible)
Did they do Best PPVs already?
@@ht82smash they just said it at the end of this video rather than dedicate a whole video to it
I think I need to see Tempest, Personal list of best wrestler of the year and best matches of the year after watching these two videos lol. Happy holidays to wrestletalk and everybody else reading this!:)
Tempest is going to have to split his list into top 10 Ospreay and top 10 everyone else, otherwise its gonna be a lot of Ospreay.
@AmbushIntheDark i agree and I'll watch both of them haha
I respect his opinion most of all tbh Luke and Oli have been captured by sports entertainment
@@yurlpI would not hold being sports entertained against anyone. It’s a legitimate lens for judging wrestling but Tempest is very much a man who forms his own opinions and is willing to die on those hills. Luke and Oli will “yeah, maybe” when they read a comment or tweet but our little Canuck lives and breathes his takes. It’s the conviction is what we appreciate.
I will forever be grateful that I got to see Ospreay vs Danielson live. Genuinely one of those moments where sitting in that arena it made me feel like a kid again just unapologetically and completely loving wrestling without a single ounce of cynicism
My Top 10:
1. Bryan Danielson vs Will Ospreay (AEW Dynasty)
2. Bryan Danielson vs Zack Sabre Jr. (The New Beginning in Osaka)
3. Will Ospreay vs Darby Allin (AEW Dynamite)
4. Mike Bailey vs Konosuke Takeshita (MLP Forged in Excellence)
5. Utami Hayashishita vs Iyo Sky (Marigold Summer Destiny 2024)
6. No Rope Last Man Standing Match (Resurgence)
7. Texas Death Match (ROH Death Before Dishonor)
8. Mercedes Mone vs Hazuki (Strong Style Evolved)
9. Konosuke Takeshita vs Josh Alexander (MLP Forged in Excellence)
10. AEW Tag Team Championship Ladder Match (AEW Dynasty)
The Mike Bailey/Takeshita match is such an underrated one! Good call!
To me cody vs roman is the match of the year and it ain't close
I was in Philly and yes that match was insane.
I think my favorite match of 2024 was MJF vs Oli Davis Confetti in my Beer Verbal Match lol 😂 ❤
i wish i could see Osprey PPV matches, but i am the only person in my friend group that likes wrestling. so as an individual paying for a PPV isn't very affordable. i wish AEW had them streaming like WWE. i can afford the much lower price point. if i had a group of people that wanted to split the cost that would be amazing. in a small town of 1500 people, not really the opportunity for that. lists like this make me wish i could see them 😢 (also, i am very against getting free/illegal streams, so that is not an option for me. the companies and wrestlers deserve to make their money, it is their livelihood). at least i get to know these matches are out there 😊
Well I think there's some old PPVs that will be on Max I think IIRC.
Osprey is just magic. Hopefully him and Kenny will have a match in 2025
Sting retirement was top 3 for me I can’t believe this
I miss Pete…RIP
@@OptimusProvost He’s not dead, mate.
Wish to attend WrestleMania once in life. I hope they do some proper ppv in India.
Unpopular opinion Aj Styles Vs Cody at Backlash was the Best Pro Wrestling Match Of The Year, crazy how at 47 Aj is still putting on 5 star classics 🌟
STING IS NOT HERE?
@igorpodemski9596 The retirement match is on their tlc episode a few times
Same I was expecting 🦂
Tony Schiovoni: “It’s not…STIIIIIIIING?”
So this Will Ospreay fella is pretty good huh Bruv? 😂😂😂😂
I was at Wrestlemania this year, Cody vs Roman is the best match I’ve ever seen and I really can’t picture anything topping it. I would’ve loved to see Sami vs Gunther in the top 10 because it was the greatest match I’d ever seen for a day, lot of great wrestlers this yesr
Ive commented this on basically every video it's been mentioned on, but i sat in the second row to watch Danielson vs Ospreay and it was so incredible
These videos are fun because my first thought is "How many matches is Will Ospreay going to have on here"
Ospreay vs PAC deserves to be in the top 10. That match slapped so hard!
Wrestlemania Night 1 tag match is my match of the year 2024 🏆🤼🎁🎅🏻
If WWE had gotten Austin back instead of Undertaker it would have been the best moment in Wrestling ever
@@joelee2315 I use to think that myself but I think having Austin show up and stun the Rock makes the WM moment be Stone Colds return and overshadow Cody's moment. Undertaker was big enough to be exciting but not so big that it took the shine off Cody.
According to Austin it was planned that he was going to be the one to take out the rock at mania but they changed course last minute and went with Taker, hence why Taker is just wearing casual clothes. Taker didn’t know until that night he was going out there’s
Austin also said that WWE still paid him as if he made an appearance even though he didn’t.
My top 3 women's matches in wwe all include IYO SKY.
She's easily the best TV wrestler of the year in wwe.
Her best match of the year for me was the one for Marigold against Utami Hayashishita. Definitely worth catching.
I really think Drew/Punk and Cody/Roman should have tied. To me, Cody/Roman is, like, the purest distillation of pro wrestling from an emotional standpoint and Drew/Punk is the most violent, brutal, and yet greatest match bell to bell to take place in a structure since Tully and Magnum in, like, 87.
I love this format but I do think it would be better if you let people submit a top 10 rather than a top 5, as a lot of deserving matches missed out since most people just didn't consider them top 5 worthy.
Nice typo in the title. I do love Wresting matches.
Oba Femi vs Dijak vs Josh Briggs should get an HM Oba picking up both of them is the craziest feat of strength I’ve in a match since Cena picked up Show and edge
I really need AEW to mive their stuff to MAX already so I can cstch up on all these Ospreay matches, lol
Perfect list
well said, gentlemen
I still think Ospreay vs Takeshita and ZSJ vs Danielson were better than Ospreay vs Danielson (I gave all 3 a 5/5)
Punk v drew was 1 for me
My top 3
Bryan vs swerve
Darby sting vs bucks
Osprey vs takeshita
Also zsj vs bryan at njpw
Also zack vs Cassidy
no gunther v sami zayn is crazyyy
A lot of people hated the fact Gunther lost so it's understandable
Damn right it's Ospreay
No Sareee vs Mayu. No Iyo vs Utami. No Sting retirement. Way too US-centric. Come on guys.
I'm at number 10 and this list is so whack. No hour long mjf match and Swerve vs Ospreay isn't on there. Terrible
Every time I hear someone be baffled over the idea of the hour long MJF vs Ospreay match being the worse one, I can never understand why. While yes it was a very well proficiently wrestled match, considering the ending was MJF cheating to win anyways, coming from someone who actually enjoys watching matches, it just felt like a waste of time because it undermined everything up to that point.
They could have told the exact same story of that match in 20 minutes and it would have been just as wonderful. Hell, even going 30 would have been good, but an hour was just unnecessary.
Where’s best ple vid?
someone be a hero and post his top 10 list here
We need a will osprey list1 1 to 20 only will osprey
Before i watch this...I'm gonna guess Ospreay vs Danielson. The biggest match thar MOST people didn't watch. That's just my guest.
God I love Wresting
I have a question, if only 1-2 wwe matches make the list then that would mean wwe is not great then why do you guys watch it so much.
So far. I'm thinking worlds end is gunna have atleast 1 more thats gunna be top 7 lol
can't beloeve how any channel can be this aew biased wwe had a good raw this week with literally the promo of the year they put on a show but no mention of it but when it comes to dynamite and aew content ya all don't miss lol it's a pity to see what this channel has become
Trump vs harris should be in the top 10
Joe vs pubk was punks last AEW match
6:00 and this is why I like tempest. "They are great matches but thsts my opinion"
When they mentioned Buck vs Bros. Luke said when it happened, "Your fine to have your own opinion, but if you didn't like this match, your a f'en idiot." Shut up luke.
Damn, aew must be on fire at the moment
It's really not.
Well they are kinda building back up....I would say they are more entertaining than Raw is currently..But Smackdown is like the best wrestling show weekly right now
You idiots don’t understand quality versus quantity (AEW clears in both) but get so enamored by arenas full of people who don’t actually like wrestling
Nah. I do like the matches but they are overrated. Wwes matches are meh tho so 😂 aews top wrestlers doorway too many things too often and it makes them feel meh, like constant flips. But then wwe never has anything like it lol. Need a perfect combo
I sense your sarcasm and you are on point.
Im here before watching the video, but i bet that not a single soul voted for Ospreay v Josh Alexander, and I will be fuming
Aint no way Roman vs Cody was better then Bryan vs Swerve lol. RvsC was only good because of everyone that came out
Will wins everything but best tribal chief.
How tf is dynamite 250 not on the list and all in is?
Hangman Page being in any top 10 match makes your whole list moot. You understand there is more to the match than just the match, right? AEW has ZERO build-up to anything, so there is nothing to get invested in. It's why attendance and ratings are down. This isn't hard to figure out.
Also stop with Ospreay. Dude is a great athlete and can go, but his selling is absolutely atrocious. Most moves in his matches mean nothing. I don't get it.
Best Wrestling Matches of 2024, also known as WILL OSPREAY VERSUS...
Its so funny that people think AEW is this highlight reel machine that you guys try to make it out to be yet it does numbers worse than NXT on a weekly basis. I can appreciate you trying to interact with your "fan base", but it's delusional to include so many AEW or Ospreay matches on a list of "best of the year". If this flipping Jesus does so much for you guys why can't Dynamite do the numbers?
25:09 wwe taking #2 and #3 is dumb
What do you mean?
will ospreay vs bryan danielson dynasty as Number 1 is the right choice that match was incredible
I’m sorry how Roman vs Cody isn’t 1 is just insane best match ever.
It's a fantastic match but it needed the bells and whistles and there are other bangers bro
Yeah exactly that’s why it’s the best match ever.
@@samrichie929 You should watch the Omega/Okada matchs. And if you're more into the way WWE books, Austin/Bret Hart at WM13, Undertaker/HBK at WM29 IIRC and Rock/Austin at WM17.
poor nia for next ep hahaha
Idk, I’ll be honest that when I hear osprey I skip to the next entry. Like “yes, we know he’s a good at wrestling. Wanting something more unique from the entries.”
Next year can we make it so one wrestler can only have one match. Cuz Trick vs Ethan Page not making it? Rhea vs Becky? Jaida vs Lol Vice at Halloween Havoc? Not one Joe Hendry match? Like I get it yall like this osprey dude but he’s not the only wrestler in the business. And he’s definitely not the best.
Who's better than Ospreay exactly right now?
Too violent? In Wrestling? Frigging ❄️
Sorry but Swerve Hangman was better than Punk Drew.
Im so sad Gunther vs Priest wasnt on this list
Also I didnt have Daniel vs Osprey on my list
Man Ik WWE is kicking themselves in the butt for not getting Osprey when they could 😂 He is legit the best wrestler in the world right now...And I love WWE but nah, they fumbled not getting him....
Sheesh buddy on the right is ALWAYS CLUELESS lol thank the lord he doesnt do dynamite reviews anymore 😂
Ospreay Init yup anyway see ya in the next video
Will osprey vs mjf 10
will osprey vs michael oku 5
will osprey vs takeshita 6
will osprey vs pac
will osprey vs kyle Fletcher will osprey vs swerve
Will vs bryan 1
All of that between 1 and 15 holly s word
You can tell how old Tempest is because of how dirty his mask is now.
Jeeeebuz, y'all are just living with the biggest Osprey Boners, Meltzer is gonna be jealous of how hard you guys are glazzing all over Osprey's "Little Bruv".
Seriously, Punk v McIntyre HIAC is Match of the Year. Wipe the Bruv Stains off your coats fellas.
osprey is over rated, i dont get the hype
It’s going to be mostly AEW isn’t it?🙄
Usually is with the youtubers. I don't agree at all, but what can you do?
Funny enough, a few matches were from different smaller brands...And I mean, when your Brand has Will Osprey, no crap it is gonna be in the top matches of the year lol
@@NightLordJagon I was willing to give him a chance until I saw him kick out of a tombstone on the steps. That was the jump the shark moment.
Yeah. Osprey and other top are stars just do way too much in their matches so it doesn't make me excited anymore. I had a phase were I loved them and new Japan but it ain't it anymore. Stories mixed with good wrestling do it but their stuff is too fake looking. Wwe wrestling is great with stories but a bit boring. Just the odd matches that are exciting. Need a combo of them
Will V .....
Will V .......
Will V........
Come on lads please the same lad was to lazy to go wwe because of the schedule.
