Best Matches of 2015

BohsJohnny

It's time for a new one of these and this mornings Wrestlekingdom started the year with a bang.

If anything tops Nakamura vs Ibushi it will be a great year and Okada vs Tanahashi was also really good too.

Hashtag_HEEL

As usual Wrestlekingdom take match of the year in the first week!

Omackeral

Wrestle Kingdom 9 (January 4th)

IWGP Intercontinental Championship Match

Shinsuke Nakamura vs Kota Ibushi




Unbelievably good way to kick off the thread for this year. Match had tonnes of charisma from both stars, the strong style was uber strong and the pace was unreal. Fantastic work. Check this bout out NOW!

Motion118

I know we're only a couple of days into the new year but I just don't see anything topping Nakamura/Ibushi. Not even Okada/Tanahashi could do it, and that match was another classic between those two.

BohsJohnny

Some of you on here especially one person might know Alan4l who's a irish fella who does podcasts about all sorts of wrestling on the Observer site and elsewhere,well every year he keeps track of every match he gave **** and above to on various Forums so i thought i might "Borrow" it :P.If your thinking about trying to watch other forms of wrestling this might help you if not hell it's a handy tool for me to use for match of the year lists in December,will update it every few weeks.

I can't see anything topping Ibushi vs Nakamura this year either.

Watching it again as we speak

BohsJohnny

Not a match of the year but really great none the less,Casas is 55 and wrestles like he's at least 20 years younger.

I'm really starting to get into Lucha now and i'm pretty sure if you haven't liked it in the past you'd at least enjoy this match.

Brock v Cena v Rollins for the WWE title at the Rumble.

Great WWE style match.

Stereomaniac

I second this. Brock Lesnar was amazing last night, as were the other 2 guys. I really would be hopeful about what sort of match he can do with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Let's be positive.

Oh I'm positive. As long as it's him that wins and Rollins cashes in on him

Stereomaniac

I'm with you on that. I won't be impressed if Lesnar loses his title via cash-in, save it for Reigns.

Surprised to have heard nothing from ROH yet this year, usually they produce three or four worthwhile matches a month.

A few matches on Johnny's list that I have yet to watch for various reasons but so far my list is a lot more.... condensed.

I also don't do star ratings so this is in chronological order instead. Also don't do links but the TNA matches are all on YouTube while the NJPW matches are on DailyMotion.

NJPW
Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kazuchika Okada - 1/4
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kota Ibushi - 1/4
AJ Styles vs. Tetsuya Naito - 1/4
Togi Makabe & Yuji Nagata vs. Shinsuke Nakamura & Tomohiro Ishii - 2/1
Young Bucks & Kenny Omega vs. Time Splitters & Ryusuke Taguchi - 2/1

TNA
The Wolves vs. The Hardy's - 1/16
Abyss vs. Jeff Hardy - 1/30
Madison Rayne vs. Gail Kim vs. Taryn Terrell - 1/30

Stereomaniac

Star ratings really aren't worth a crap for any subject, in my opinion. What is 2 stars to me could easily be three stars to someone else. However, as it happens, I agree with most of the matches that I have seen on this thread being listed and I am always glad to see the selections. But it can be very difficult to accept ratings based on one reviewer watching.

Machismo Fan

I think star ratings are useful mostly to act as a guideline. They serve as a filter of sorts. An indication of a match that you might really enjoy, or at the very least is worth checking out. I don't think many would put any real stock in thinking their star ratings are a definitive ranking of a match beyond reproach.

BohsJohnny

Exactly MF I use it just as a reference for later on really I've a pretty ****e memory so it helps me when I go back and want to rewatch stuff more then anything.

rovert

Yeah I don't really the objection. Beats people calling every good match under the sun "great" and such like. It is also JUST a reference as others have said.

Personally have always followed/attempted to keep with/benchmarked against Alan4L's ratings. Will never see what he sees in Dragon Gate but in terms of everything else were are pretty like minded. Also I know SO many Wrestlers who value Alan's ratings and opinions. Alan has been around online for so long now that wrestlers who dug him back in the day are now big names in WWE, NXT, New Japan and on the Indies. He really guy has his finger on the pulse.

mrkiscool2

Not to be a d1ck or anything BohsJohnny cause you are doing a really cool job updating the thread and stuff but most wrestling journalists scored the triple threat ****3/4. Just so ya know!

gerrybbadd

Star rating system is definately useful

They're my ratings no one else's,there's nothing between the two ratings really still loved the match.

Stereomaniac

That's been the best match so far this year I think. I really hope Lesnar can perform at WrestleMania.

Really enjoying Lucha Underground.

They have managed to out some really good matches together and make themselves stand out with the whole production style.

The Aztec Warfare match is really worth a look for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Loved that match. So well booked. Just a masterclass of an episode

Besides the commentary and the crowd. Another issue with the Balor and Itami that took it down was two ad breaks in the middle of the match. What I love about in general is that LU can pace their ad breaks so they occur between in matches not during them. It helps SO much enjoyment and immersion wise. With WWE you are waiting for someone missing a dive or being thrown out of the ring.

Stereomaniac

For sure. I have always found it frustrating as long as I've watched the WWF/E that they cut to a break during a match. It was something that made me really question the authenticity of it as a legitimate sport at a very young age (probably about 7 years old or so). So what is Lucha Underground's distribution like, do they upload their shows onto the net?

On youtube they upload the fight of the week:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaVwpbqM8dkhQvbL8XileAA

You can see the full shows in the places where you can watch wrestling, dailymotion etc.

It airs on Wednesdays, so if for example you google Lucha Underground 04 Feb 2015 you will find it quick enough.

Stereomaniac

Cheers for sharing the link. I have enjoyed the things I have seen posted here, and really love seeing the crazy stunts whenever I watch any sort of lucha libre. It's hard to follow anything other than WWE full-time for me at the moment as I'm working a lot but I scan through.

Ishii vs. Honma from this morning's New Beginning show. An absolutely brilliant match.

BohsJohnny

Really loved that match as well maybe got a little bit repetitive down thee stretch but still great.

Cesaro vs Sin Cara from this weeks Main Event is really good stuff go out of your way to see it.

Andersonisgod

Honma vs Ishii was incredible, there were several points in that match where I marked out while wincing. Not everybody likes those headbutts (Honma's kokeshi to the outside and one of Ishii's unprotected headbutts made a bone-shivering thud sound) this was a super stiff match with a red hot crowd, killer near falls and all of it told a story in the ring. The whole thing was even more incredible considering it was supposed to be Makabe vs Ishii but he's ill. I'd put it right up there with the two WK matches as the frontrunners for MOTY.

Really enjoyed the Cesaro and Sin Cara match. If only the crowd was louder so you couldn't hear them call spots and if Sin Cara sold the arm until the end.

Didn't think anything would come close to matching Nakamura vs Ibushi but Ishii vs Honma is right up there.

I already have ten NJPW matches on my list and it's only seven weeks into the year.

Thought it was heatless ****e and an awful botched ref finish but hey different strokes for different folks.

Stereomaniac

I found it was full of heat and that the ending was perfect as it gives Cody some justification.

Andersonisgod

I thought it was very disjointed and played to a crowd that didn't care for it at all. Certainly doesn't belong up there with Nakamura vs Ibushi or Ishii vs Honma.
