“One of the all time “Greater than the sum of its parts” matches in wrestling history. Two 50 years olds, a non-wrestler, and a first time wrestler….and it ruled. Stephanie put on an all time great heel performance and actually stooged for the first time in her life, HHH made all of Ronda’s big moments even bigger, and Ronda delivered more than anybody could have expected. The most welcome and exciting surprise of the year.” -Eric Ritz

“This is everything that people were saying the Draganov and David Starr matches were. The pinnacle of WALTER laying in an asskicking to a spunky underdog. Darby is tremendous in this, he takes some uncalled for bumps and gets his chest turned into hamburger, but he also has a real sense of when to mix in comebacks and has really credible offense for such a little guy. The hand work was class stuff Darby hurling WALTER’s hand into the ringpost violently was great, as was the ground and pound punches right to the knuckles. I loved how he used it as a last gasp counter and attack, if nothing else was working he could bang at the hand. I thought WALTER’s selling was really good here too, his hand was fucked, but he wasn’t going to let it stop him from chopping Allin’s chest into gazpacho or slapping his eardrum into ribbons. There are some really awesome individual spots here, Darby going for an in ring tope and WALTER shotgun head-butting him out of the air was an awesome King Kong vs. Airplanes spot, I also loved WALTER countering the coffin drop with the Kojira clutch. These are two of my favorite guys to watch, and this felt like both guys apex performances.” -Phil Schneider

“This match did not have the exposure of their other contests but it may have been the best in their series. The previous encounters saw Ilja having to overcome the insurmountable Walter on the turf they shared, and brought Ilja to the next level by having him fight frantically from underneath while absorbing an onslaught of chops and boots and slams. This contest saw Ilja working from the top, as the new ruler of the territory. He dominated Walter here, in a way no one ever has. He broke Walter down technically, with grappling and holds and physical dominance. Walter couldn’t even chop because Ilja had neutralized Walter’s hand. Ilja had figured Walter out. He executed a perfect game plan…and then won. Ilja’s previous victories over Walter felt earned through sheer heart and determination and grit alone. But this victory was because Ilja Dragunov was the best wrestler in the world. As it should be, he was the champion, and the new Ace of wXw.” -Lawson Leong

“There’s a lot to be said about how incredible Rousey’s debut year was. While her WWE promos still leave a lot to be desired; bell to bell she’s a natural nearly on the level of Kurt Angle. But to me she’s not the story of this match. I cannot believe the level of FIRE Charlotte brought here. Her intensity, her grit – it was like finally everything WWE wanted her to be was materialising right in front of us. A fantastically mean match.” – Barry Murphy

“NXT TakeOver: New Orleans is honestly the best top to bottom wrestling show I have ever seen. Four of the five matches were ****+. It all began with this. Give six talented guys a bunch of ladders and let them crown the first ever North American Champion. There was a lot to juggle here. You had the red hot Velveteen Dream and Adam Cole. The monsters in Killian Dain and Lars Sullivan. And two guys making their debuts in EC3 and Ricochet. They made it all work. Ricochet was given plenty of room to show off his aerial offense, while EC3 may have taken more bumps than anyone. The big guys destroyed people. Everyone played their part perfectly. And this wasn’t just guys doing spots. They all spent early moments going for the title, but kept getting cut off. From there, it was clear they needed to take each other out to win, which set up the bigger offense we eventually saw. It’s a brilliantly layered match. There were just so many action filled moments, great character stuff, and some truly creative spots. I’d be here forever if I tried listing them all. Just know there were a ton and this match was madness. It seemed like Ricochet had it won, only for Cole to sneak in and knock him off, pulling down the title after 31:16. An absolute war and one of the greatest ladder matches of all time. [****¾]” -Kevin Pantoja

Tomohiro Ishii vs. Hirooki Goto
7/21
NJPW

Overall Points: 28

“This is the magic of the Grand One Climax. Due to the way New Japan avoids booking faction members against each other this is a match that can only occur during league play (G1/BotSJ) and only every other year when they happen to wind up in the same block together. Goto and Ishii are the key support players in the most dominant faction in recent New Japan- so while great wrestlers, they only work as main eventers when against a real star. That is of course unless they are put in front of the right crowd and Kurokuen has always had a soft spot for Ishii. Over the years Chaos has evolved past its original purpose, with Ishii and Goto seemingly being the last remnant of the faction still concerned with defending “Strong Style”. These two friends battle it out for pride and as they trade shoots neither are willing to budge or even show a moment of weakness to the other (only going to their corner to grimace in pain once they’ve withstood the others strikes and delivered a retaliation of their own). This match is everything you want from these two- big bombs and stiff strikes, and the two keep up an unrelenting pace in front of a hot crowd that is the one crowd in the world that can best appreciate what these guys do. My first exposure to New Japan was being recommended the 2014 Power Struggle iPPV. The pitch used to sell it to me was the Goto vs Ishii match, with the person recommending it to me stating that, “I don’t think anyone has ever informed either of these guys that pro-wrestling is supposed to be fake.” -Justin Poland

“New Japan main events often follow a similar style, regardless of the competitors. They tend to be near the thirty-minute mark, involve an assortment of high spots, and slowly build to a rapid-fire closing sequence. Tomohiro Ishii and Hiroki Goto did none of these things. They did not grapple for half of the match. They did not execute a single tope or plancha. As a matter of fact, every second of their match took place within the confines of the squared circle. This isn’t your modern NJPW epic. This is two tough guys from the same faction setting out to see who can hit and be hit harder.

Ishii sells better than ever here, as he absorbs Goto’s hardest strikes with his intimidatingly stoic expression, but as soon as he turns away, Ishii’s face contorts into an anguished grimace. It’s a simple concept: two stable-mates go out there and hit each other as hard as they can for 18 minutes and see who is still standing. Ishii, the perpetual underdog, wins the advantage and the match. I loved this match more than any other this year because it wasn’t an excessively long fight that relied on big moments. These two brutes were able to perfectly execute a hard-hitting brawl that never once felt bogged down. It was a tightly-knit story that built to a climactic finish, as the Stone Pitbull overcame his fellow CHAOS member.” -Ryan Glaspell

“This match was a perfect example of a wrestlers gimmick informing their style of wrestling. Black’s ‘melancholy rage’ character was on full display here and for once, the story leading the match fit the action that took place in the match.

“This is not the best worked or most technical match of the year, but it might be the most memorable. WALTER beat the shit out of a 50 year old french canadian lunatic at 1 in morning live on ippv. I will never forget PCO’s raw hamburger chest, or his now signature “oh god he’s gonna land on his head no wait he somehow made it” moonsault.” -Matt “Swarles” Johnsen

“Going in, this felt like it was going to be a joke. It was on Joey Janela’s Spring Break, a joke show. It was built on ironic nostalgia for a character few people have strong attachments to. I expected some good hard chops, some hoss spots, and not much else. What ensued was one of the craziest spectacles I saw all year. There were hard chops, in fact, there were so many that PCO’s chest turned BLACK. I didn’t even know that was possible. It was as if Joey Janela put on a Carl Ouellet suit and worked this match in his place. It was insanity and I loved every minute of it.” -Jeremy Sexton

“The match of the year is the match that makes you feel the most and earns every second of it. The main event of last year’s TLC featured three of the WWE’s best wrestlers – of any gender – in the best match of their careers. Everyone was exceptional, but I take my hat off to Charlotte Flair, who took Becky Lynch’s entire body weight directly onto her rib cage from fifteen feet while prone on an announce table that didn’t even come close to buckling enough to relieve some of the pressure, and then got up and went right back to spearing her opponents in two. This is the match that finally got me 100% on the Flair train. And then, to boot, the most deserving person actually won, saving Asuka from the ignominy to which creative had banished her after Mania 34. I was on the edge of my seat except for when I leapt from it, screaming in horror and/or delight, and as far as I recall, I finished the pay-per-view lying face down on the floor, just completely spent of emotional energy.” -Dean Buckley

“My list felt incomplete without a WALTER match on it, so I went back and watched a handful of his matches from this past year that I gave ****3/4 and ****1/2 to. This was his best match to me, over his classics with Will Ospreay and Jordan Devlin in OTT. WALTER and Sabre were two of the three best professional wrestlers in the world in 2018 (with Ospreay being the third). This was professionals doing their job and doing it damn well. Something about this match just stuck with me. The violent nature of this match is something to behold.” -Case Lowe

“This is everything I want out of a deathmatch. The spots were nuts and the work looked brutal. Takeda and Kasai perfectly straddled the line between great match and gross match to create a classic. No matter how many times I see it, there’s a moment in this match that always makes me jump. Takeda gets suplexed onto the ring boards and almost falls through the ring. It’s a moment that puts over how dangerous this match is, maybe even more so than the spots involving panes of glass. This is the kind of deathmatch that hits you in the same way as a good horror movie and I loved every second of it.” -Kelly Harrass

“I’ve seen a lot of great matches work rate wise, but I’ve never been as emotionally invested in a match as I was during this one. I get that people knock this one down because the first half was not great, but the raw emotion more than makes up for it in my opinion. Having Jeff Cobb win BOLA over Bandido was an incredibly bold decision by PWG, but it ended up making two stars that night.” -Tim Teresi

“A good but long match that felt its length and dragged in parts. Suzuki is still very compelling as the aging predator and while this wasn’t quite at the level of his WK12 match or the Okada G1 match from, it definitely righted some of the wrongs from last year’s New Beginning in Sapporo. Almost immediately, they establish that Tanahashi’s knee is the crux of this match and I liked that he tried to get the jump on Minoru by working Minoru’s knee to set up the cloverleaf. Suzuki starts in with the bullying, the headbutt and the hanging armbar and big chairshot to the back, but as Tanahashi begins heating up, the match begins to cool down. Suzuki laughing in Tanahahsi’s face at his shitty elbows was good and the cut-off dropkick but the real match begins after Tanahashi hurts his knee on the High Fly Flow. That’s where Suzuki really excels at picking it apart and reveling in Tanahashi’s suffering. Terrific selling from Tanahashi as he struggles to fight back and stay on his feet, which allows Suzuki to dropkick the leg out from him and go right back to gnawing on the knee with submissions. He peppers it with little shit kicks, throws a couple of big slaps, and spikes him with the Gotch-style piledriver, but Suzuki doesn’t want the pin. He wants Tanahashi to give up, which Tanahashi refuses to do until Red Shoes finally has no choice but to call it. The nasty submission work from Suzuki coupled with Tanahashi’s sad, hurt ace performance was excellent; however, the midsection was mostly filler and had this been 5-10 minutes shorter, this would have been a completely awesome match instead of awesome in parts.” -Brennan Patrick

“This is an textbook example of how to end all out blood feud. It has everything barbwire, blood, a double back hand spring. PLUS the David Starr Promo at the end just an absolute good match from Beyond.” -leon noel

“Most modern deathmatches are more about survival than hatred. Who can withstand the most from their opponent and prove that they are the better man? Deathmatches built on bloodfeuds are increasingly rare. That’s why this one works so well. Starr and Janela have been feuding in Beyond for ages, all building to this match. Every single minute is filled with hatred. You can feel it. Each big spot features each man just absolutely trying to end the other. This feels like a modern version of the famous Kudo vs. Toyoda exploding barbed wire match from FMW. Each moment is used to get as much tension out of it as possible, leading to the most memorable indie match of 2018.” -Kevin Hare

“The shock return of Ilja Dragunov had the crowd in a frenzy. The match had great action but this match is massively elevated by the ravenous crowd” -Brian1zvx (Brian Arthur)

“This is a great all-action main event, made legendary by the story leading into it and the shock return of Dragunov, moments before it started. A legitimate surprise in pro wrestling is a special thing, so Walter making this match a three way dance, a phrase now burned into the consciousness of everyone in attendance, and Ilja’s return from exile had the crowd literally jumping up and down with glee. Top that off with the already classic Walter/Ilja dynamic and the heel Bad Bones just desperately trying to cling to his championship, and you have a special match on your hands.” -Barry Murphy

“Unbelievable heat. Such a memorable, well structured match with Park and Rush perfectly timing their big dramatic encounter. Plus cool dives.” -Mongo Underscore Ebooks

“CMLL Fridays came alive with the feud between Rush and LA Park. Although the culmination of this match never came to be, the build during the summer months especially, of this marquee match up filled Arena Mexico up and this match was one of the reasons. There was a sense of true chaos here and it just made the issues between the two feel abolsutely real and important in a way that no other match, outside of the tent pole events, has in the company in 2018.” -Rich Laconi

“This was my match of the night at Wrestle Kingdom 12 because to me this was the essence of pro-wrestling. You had a clear good guy and you had a clear bad guy with one guy’s title and one guy’s hair on the line, it had high stakes. So it was a very simple story that everyone was able to understand regardless if you had been following Goto and Suzuki for years or if you were completely new to both guys. What mattered weren’t the moves, but what mattered were great facial expressions that got the fans invested and that got the fans to feel the emotions portrayed inside the ring. Even people online felt real concern for Goto when the doctor was checking on him after Suzuki had attacked him right at the start of the match and it looked like Goto couldn’t continue. This concern turned to sympathy for Goto and for that he had the perfect antagonist in Minoru Suzuki. The minor gripe I had was that Goto didn’t shave Suzuki’s hair because the cutting of the hair is so important in the Japanese system of values.” -STRIGGA

“To get a bit metaphorical, this match is like a flowing stream. Brisk, occasionally rough, but never without a smooth, continuous flow. Every spot naturally links into the next with reversals and counters that feel both natural and inventive. Easily the most technical match of the year and devoid of the usual slowness that grappling heavy match can bring.” -Jason Westhaver

“2018 was the breakout year for the Spanish wrestling scene and this match is its flagship. A-Kid is our country’s ACE and the match that took place at Total Rumble 8, White Wolf Wrestling’s biggest show of the year will go down as one the key matches in the history of wrestling in Spain. Expectations were high as one year ago Ricochet had visited our country and delivered a great match against A-Kid. The now famous Tabacalera crowd awaited to see if our young ace could put up against one of the best wrestlers in the world. And he did.
The match started with A-Kid trying to go toe to toe with ZSJ, going hold for hold until he eventually gets outmatched by the technical wizard. Then, the spaniard changes the pace and strategically switches to a more hard hitting offense trying to surprise ZSJ. The last minutes are a complete slapfest with the always electric Spanish crowd bringing a special atmosphere that captivated not only Dave Meltzer, giving the match 5 stars, but the whole world. 2019, Spanish wrestling is taking over.” -Rodrigo García

Zeus opened my eyes to how great a wrestler he is this year and I hope they do more with him in 2019.” -TJ Folk
