[Anybody Thrilla]

If we stick them all in here, we can look back and choose our favorite at the end of the year. We'll start with a pretty obvious one.

Johnny Gargano v. Andrade "Cien" Almas (NXT Takeover: Philadelphia, 1/27)

[Anybody Thrilla]

Sasha Banks v. Asuka (Raw, 1/29)

[Shisen Kopf]

Braun vs Kane last man standing.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Jinder vs Xavier Woods Smackdown

[Jordan]

Obviously Gargano/Almas

Jericho/Omega

[Bad News Gertner]

Slater and Rhyno vs Titus Worldwide (Raw 1/22)

[Shisen Kopf]

Can we include awesome backyard matches that will get posted here throughout the year? I vote yes

[Shisen Kopf]

[Evil Vito]

Minoru Suzuki vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi: New Beginning Day 2

[Anybody Thrilla]

Adam Cole v. Aleistar Black, Extreme Rules Match (NXT Takeover: Philadelphia, 1/27)

[Fignuts]

Jay White vs Kenny Omega NJPW New Beginning Night 2

[Fignuts]

Hirooki Goto vs Minoru Suzuki Wrestle Kingdom 12

Probably my favorite match of the night.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle v. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, Mixed tag match (Wrestlemania 34)

Charlotte v. Asuka (Wrestlemania 34)

Johnny Gargano v. Tomasso Ciampa, Unsanctioned match (NXT Takeover: New Orleans)

Aleistar Black v. Andrade "Cien" Almas (NXT Takeover: New Orleans)

[Dukelorange]

The NA Title Ladder match was pretty good

The NXT 3 team tag match on the same show was amazing to watch. The ending I did NOT see coming.

[Jordan]

Gargano, and Andrade have had incredible years already. Don't forget Andre's performance in the first Royal Rumble this year.

For me the five star matches of the year so far are -

Gargano/Almas - Takeover Philly
Gargano/Ciampa - Takeover New Orleans
NXT North American Ladder Match - Takeover New Orleans

And then just below that I'd rate the following four and a half to 3/4's stars.

Omega/Ibushi vs Young Bucks - NJPW Long Beach
Black/Andrade - NXT Takeover New Orleans
Jericho/Omega - WrestelKingdom

In the four star range I'd say...

Okada/Naito - WrestleKingdom
Auska/Charlotte - WM 34
Rollins/Balor - Raw before Mania
Rousey & Angle/HHH & Stephanie - WM 34

[Damian Rey 2.0]

The Gargano Ciampa match was insane. Favorite match in a long time.

[Shisen Kopf]

Brawn Strowman and Nicholas vs the Bar, Rasslemania 34

[Emperor Smeat]

WALTER vs PCO - Joey Janela's Spring Break 2

[DAMN iNATOR]

Brawn Strowman and Nicholas vs the Bar, Rasslemania 34

[Anybody Thrilla]

Was it THAT funny, dipshit?

[Luigi]

Was it THAT funny, dipshit?

Is that language really necessary? Especially with that hate-filled tone? Lest we forget, the reputation message that you sent me in the private area. This is starting to make me feel genuinely uncomfortable.

[mike adamle]

Luigi isn't the only one, I also feel uncomfortable by this turn of events...

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

oh good god lol

I was threatened with physical violence due to my love of backyard rasslin via rep. May have owenbrown call the FBI for me. Definite TERRORIST thing to do.

I have a sneaking suspicion that you are not being serious with your post. If that actually happened however, then I think you need to report that to both the moderators on here, and even the local authorities in your hometown.

[Droford]

Gargano/Ciampa
Young Bucks vs Golden Lovers from SSE

[Anybody Thrilla]

Seth Rollins v. The Miz (Backlash)

[Shisen Kopf]

Roman Reigns vs Samoa Joe (Beat the traffic match. Backlash)

[Bad News Gertner]

I miss Luigi. Why do we have to run off all the new posters?

[slik]

Gargano vs Ciampa probably

Some of Seth's matches (Finn, Miz both come to mind)

[LibSuperstar]

Gotta watch Okada-Naito, Goto-Suzuki, Suzuki-Tanahashi and White-Omega.

[Shisen Kopf]

Jeff Hardy vs Jinder Mahal (Durkamania)

[Big Vic]

Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle v. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, Mixed tag match (Wrestlemania 34)
This has been my fav match so far, surprisingly.

[Simple Fan]

I miss Luigi. Why do we have to run off all the new posters?

All I did was call him a hypocrite, I didn't mean to run him off. Hasn't posted since then. I really liked Luigi though.

[Shisen Kopf]

Everyone was angry at Luigi but all I gotta say is: hey man, he was a good poster.

[slik]

Luigi should have been made a wrestling mod

He would have been great
