Sorry for the delay! I have had some family health issues that I've been dealing with the past couple weeks. I've got a few matches left to watch of PWG All Star Weekend V - Night 2 but it's probably not going to be ready for another week or so. Sorry if you're looking forward to that! In the meantime, it's time for the Best Matches Watched (thus far) for 2024. I've sorted things by year. It's all 2000's & 2010's. I definitely have to get some 80's stuff in this year...but anyhow HM stands for Honorable Mention, stars denote an all time classic...these are the front runners. I definitely recommend checking all of these out! Also I am going to use show titles/event names for American promotions since they are easier for you & me to track down than using the dates.

Although it's not represented on this list, I've really enjoyed early 2000's AJPW. Many of the classic matches were viewed in 2023. This year I'm watching the unsung stuff which has been fun especially since I am a fan of late 80's AJ & SWS/WAR. That said, I'm planning on working my way through 2002. Next I want to revisit ROH with a few shows from 2005 and perhaps 2015 as well.


So yeah, if you're looking for something different to watch, check out some matches from the list. Thanks for taking a look!
