2017 was simply PHENOMENAL for wrestling fans everywhere!

When you reflect on the year of wrestling that is 2017, there are simply so many different great matches to choose from. So what do you do when you’ve got to pick 5 of the best? You get a group of wrestling geeks and nerds to pick each of their own, and then we let you decide for yourselves!

5. Triple Threat Tag Title Match, NXT Takeover Orlando

THIS MATCH WAS THIS YEAR?!?!?! HOLY ****!! The Revival man, what a rough year but this match reminds you WHY you love the top guys. This match had everything in spades. I miss DIY.

4. Pete Dunne vs Tyler Bate, NXT Takeover Chicago

This might have been my favorite singles match of the year. This had so many moments, so much energy and it never let up. I just remember having to collect my jaw from the floor at the end of this one.

3. RAW Tag Team Titles Fatal 4 Way Ladder Match, Wrestlemania 33

The HARDYS! That POP!!! THIS MATCH!! The spots ALONE warrant top 5 consideration. The other teams in this were so good, you could actually ignore how bad Enzo is at wrestling.

2. AJ Styles vs. Brock Lesnar, Survivor Series

It’s called a dream match for a reason. This delivered big, in every way. Somehow put AJ more over , somehow made Brock look more insane. This match is when WWE gets it RIGHT.

1. The New Day vs. The Usos, Hell In A Cell

The top of the top of tag team wrestling, these 2 teams put on an incredible match and it somehow OPENED the show. This was the creativity of the New Day and the high risk of the Usos at its FINEST.

5. John Cena vs. AJ Styles, Royal Rumble

Not as in love as everyone else but obviously, this has to crack top 5. Still only seen it once so maybe second viewing in a few weeks will make me enjoy it more

4. DIY vs. Authors of Pain, NXT Takeover: Chicago

What a show looking back on it, maybe not the best tag team ladder match but a ton of fun spots and a great David vs. Goliath storyline with an excellent heel turn at the end. 3. The New Day vs. The Usos, Hell In A Cell What can’t you say about this feud? The entire countdown could have been filled with their matches but since this was the unofficial ending and had the stakes raised an extra level of violence had to make it the top choice. 2. AJ Styles vs. Brock Lesnar, Survivor Series

Salvaged Survivor Series where a few weeks before we thought this would have been the bathroom break with Jinder. A lot has been said of Brock’s lack of work ethic lately but take out a few random botches this one was phenomenal from beginning to end and made both guys look like stars coming out of it. 1. Pete Dunne vs Tyler Bate, NXT Takeover: Chicago
