From the biggest promotions to the smallest, champions to rookies, kayfabe or not, which wrestlers do you think are having an amazing year?

(Also, hope I’m doing this right. This is my first post.)

Orange Cassidy is also having a crazy year. They lean on him so much and he always shows out. And shout out to Jay White - he’s just starting in AEW but I feel like he’s already catching fire.

Orange came back from that injury and has managed to really elevate the new title. Im not sure who'll eventually be the one to take it from him but he's had a hell of a year defending it.

You're right. At this point, it sounds kind of weird if Dynamite doesn't start with Orange's music. His reign has been fantastic. Can't wait to see what's in store for Jay White too.

As far as matches goes , it has to be Bryan danielson , started the year with bangers , wrestled the elite and now going to wrestle Okada .

Oo, that's a good one! I wasn't watching back in the day when he was in ROH or his pre-retirement WWE run. It's been really cool to see him get to come back to wrestling and now doing all of this.

Bryan Danielson and GUNTHER are probably my top picks for this right now.

[–] kessleragain 1 points 1 year ago

Ooo yeah, I've been hearing great things about GUNTHER's reign.

It's an obvious one because it's Kenny but Kenny: Osprey, Anarchy, the cage match, Vikingo. The dude came back with a point to prove despite already being Kenny Omega.

I mean Sami is slowing down but hes had an amazing 2023. To mirror that for AEW Takeshita is a spectacle and is only going to gain more momentum with Don.

Thank You Don!! Thank You Don!! Thank You Don!!
