Best Card of 2020
To some, this year is the year of crowds and no crowds. Indeed for a while it looked like shows taped in January and February were going to sweep this category.

But some valiant late year efforts made this category interesting as did the ever-dramatic G1 Climax.

5.) Wrestle Kingdom Night 2
2020 was the first year of the Double Dome experiment where New Japan seeks to hold shows on back to back days in the Tokyo Dome on 1/4 and 1/5 and the double domes delivered. This night in particular featured the Naito vs Okada feud capper that LIJ fans had been waiting on for ages.

4.) Triplemania XXVIII
A fun show from top to bottom this show was a one off by AAA after they had not run in arenas since covid kicked off. They assembled a show that had as much juice as they could muster without a ton of build. A hot tag match opener, matches with the Lucha Bros and the reuniting Los Psycho Circus. The card probably only happened because of the very strange marvel match pitting Spiderman and Captain America against Venom and Thanos. But this match probably gets here for its double main event - a killer technical/spot fest with Kenny Omega defending his Mega Championship against Laredo Kid and a hair vs hair spectacle between Chessman and Pagano that was pure AAA style chaos.

3.) AEW Double or Nothing
The first and probably best of AEWs lockdown PPVs. This card featured a surprising show stealing bout between Jungle Boy and MJF, a hard hitting AEW title match with Brodie Lee and Moxley and the very fun Stadium Stampede match.

2.) NJPW G1 Climax A Block Finals
A show defined by three killer matches and two unforgettable moments, this show more than any other in NJPW this hinted at the direction of the future while delivering great in ring action. I've already discussed the big angles from this show but rest assured they were great

1.) AEW Revolution
AEW's final show in front of a crowd it was capped off with the memorable Moxley vs Jericho Match, the dramatic conclusion of the Cody/MJF feud and of course Match of the Year contender Hangman and Omega vs the Young Bucks anchoring a strong lineup and energetic lineup of an AEW that really felt ready to break through to the next level.
