ADAM: Happy New Year!! What was your favourite match of 2020, let us know below!!

[@hendrxx9593]

Roman vs Jey

[@nascarguy]

It’s pretty hard to say

[@dsannito5995]

Fire fly fun house match but if you don’t count that as a match then Walter vs dragunov

[@thebombspayloadisexposed]

Happy new year

[@duncanweirleech8368]

Walter vs Dragunov. It made my teeth hurt.

[@michaeldilks7399]

Day 5 of recommending Adam my 10 lists that he should do sometime in the future: -12 most shocking kickouts in WWE history -10 worst NXT Takeover matches ever -15 WWE champions that should’ve held on to the belt WAY longer than they actually did -10 worst mistakes WWE made with Roman Reigns -10 best wrestling matches that lasted under 10 minutes -15 best in-ring wrestling debut matches of all time -Adam’s 10 most overrated WWE matches ever -10 Wrestlemania matches that should’ve been that years main event -12 worst sellers in wrestling history -10 reasons to look forward to wrestling in 2021 (I’ll be doing this until half of these ideas are done by Adam himself. Happy New Year, Adam. Love you lots!!)

[@SG5002.]

One for each: 1. Taker kicking out of the SCM/Pedigree combo 2. Rey Mysterio 3. Having him keep all the shield stuff 4. Goldberg v Brock Lesnar 5. Dominic Mysterio 7. I don't know Adam's, but personally Hulk Hogan v Andre The Giant. Good storytelling, awful In-ring (as was most stuff back then) 8. Chris Jericho v Kevin Owens Wrestlemania 33 9. Hulk Hogan 10. FANS BEING BACK!!

[@ahmadirfan1397]

More power to you bro, the kickouts one has been in my mind for a while aswell, but ill probably watch adam talk about top 10 types of paint aswell, hes just that good haha

[@zachleggett4617]

Dragunov vs Walter is my match of year for sure. A symphony of carnage and thoroughly enjoyable.

[@coreylineberry8557]

Not for Dragunov and WALTER.

[@shibruva]

'Bunch of pricks aloominum vs Bunch of pricks aluminium' might be the single greatest thing Adam has ever said

[@switchblade6]

And that's saying a LOT

[@austinemms9772]

For me, it’s between that or him calling The Undertaker Gnarly Charlie.

[@scottnomore9489]

It's aluminum not aluminium.

[@shibruva]

@@scottnomore9489 Lol imagine being wrong. Can't relate.

[@LavaCaptain-yf6iu]

Scott No More he pronounces it Aluminium

[@joetheman8550]

It's Sunday. You know what that means.

[@mohamedsaffee1891]

I was about to call BS and ask who is this and what have you done with Adam when Firefly Funhouse wasn't the best match but then I reread the title of the video and it said specifically "wrestling" matches and I can't disagree

[@Keykers1]

Can't complain when the legend makes a top 10

[@michaelandrews117]

Can I just say Adam, thank you. Thank you for making a return that received a bigger pop from me than Edge's did. Thank you for making 2020 bearable. Thank you for working hard on these lists and the booking videos. Thanks for making last year a little better, and here's hoping the next year is even greater.

[@arinleoczko1250]

"8 crazy bastards having a crazy bastard fight on top of a burning volcano" Sounds like Tag Team Apocalypto to me.

[@wilsonsimons12]

I wonder if what #1 could be 🤔 Never mind he said it isn’t

[@braydenfletcher8159]

My thought process exactly

[@switchblade6]

Beautiful character development right here

[@zergy55]

Jesus it feels like Omega/Page vs Young Bucks was years ago but it was in February?!

[@TheManInTheLongBlackCoat]

Next week do Best Episodes on TV. Those that had everything: emotion, comedy, athleticism, feelings.

[@SG5002.]

It's gotta be all the NXT and AEW special episodes and the Christmas day smackdown

[@giloguy101]

The aew tribute show would have to be on that list Not only because it was a beautiful tribute show from start to end, but it also was a night of just stellar wrestling, which in turn made the tributes all that more wonderful

[@shahidnyker2900]

great idea

[@neighslayer768]

Kota Ibushi vs. Minoru Suzuki was every bit as violent as I dreamed of.

[@theJaRRoOnE22]

Those two damn beautiful crazy bastards

[@zachtaylor8222]

Adam: AEW has deposed NXT as the king of tag team wrestling Also Adam: here is my list of 8 WWE matches and one AEW match, enjoy!

[@agc2757]

But the only standard tag match on the list was number 1 and belonged to AEW?

[@SG5002.]

What are you on about? You even wrote the King of TAG WRESTLING. Which they obviously were because NXTs tag sucked balls this year. If they are the best singles is debatable but them being the best tag wise is Undisputed (pun intended).

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

Yeah, the fact that he put that dogshit Women's Wargames match above Bucks vs FTR at least just boggles the mind. Like, if he was going to put a Wargames match on the list, shouldn't it at least have been the Men's one, the one that _didn't_ blatantly disregard every basic rule of wrestling booking 101 by making the heels the underdogs then having them go over the faces clean?!

[@BCoriginal1]

"Simpsons" references:We got 'em!!!

[@Mattheman09]

Not gonna lie I’m glad your back doing lists again Adam you helped me get through 2020 just a lil bit and for that I am thankful 🥲

[@wunnamfuseini4726]

Another Sunday another banger of a list from Adam. Thank you and keep em coming Blampied.

[@diegogarcia5984]

Thanks for the video and happy new year everyone 😀♥️☀️.

[@ejmovement1613]

One thing I felt like I wanted to say. I see that Adam says now after her amazing Women's Championship(s) run, that now WWE suddenly seems they got bored of Bayley. I would have to remind you that they used Bayley as the main champion (Charlotte for a few weeks to a month aside) from May 2019 to October 2020......over an entire year. Won the title at Money in The Bank when she was still in the babyface (kinda hugging not really) gimmick. Built up a heel run when Sasha came back to make her the side guard for Sasha transitioned her heel run to a new version of herself, then making herself the main Women's star of the company and Sasha being the back up for HER instead Carried the company with Sasha for a nonstop run of Smackdown, Raw, and NXT (here and there) appearances from after Mania to when they lost the titles to Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler on a constant basis So when she lost the title from Sasha and slows down to a Midcard role.....WWE is bored of her? Not keen to that logic. Loving the list so far, I just wanted to bring that up. (Whether people think Bayley's run was overrated or whatnot (I did hear that during that time when she and Sasha were doing their thing with all the titles), STILL, gotta give her major credit and respect for going on that long like that. MAJOR props to Bayley)

[@stephenfowler2895]

I would added Drew Mcintyre vs Roman Reigns at Survive Series. Watching this whole match I was like, this should be main event WrestleMania for the WWE championship.

[@hugo.nieves787]

Watching Walter get tagged in and chopping everyone in sight was like watching a kid tell his scary father about the bully in school and him beating the school staff, the lunch ladies and teachers until he finally found the kid

[@Jinglejangles2234]

Reminds me of true detective when the dad beats up the bully

[@MorganTC]

WALTER can murder EVERYONE with a single chop on every single roster in WWE

[@xGULFx]

Adam you're so funny! Thanks for the great content!

[@nathanv2882]

Happy New Year Wrestletalk!!

[@rhysvandermerwe8205]

Young Bucks Vs Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page AEW Revolution Happy New Year Adam

[@dumbname939]

I love the “WWE biased comments.” Adam is truly an evil genius, taking the subtle approach by giving AEW the match of the year.

[@BamBamPxnk]

The dragunov vs WALTER one, by gowd almighty, just listening those sickening chops back and fourth, those stiff suplexes, the scars on both chests, damn men it gives a ride to the sickening part of this beautiful art, it drives you to the most aggressive side of yourself ( I can picture myself at times having that kind of aggression on my rival) It’s surreal and I guess that’s what wrestling at times can give us. Pd gotta admit that halloween havoc alongside Revolution my favorite shows of the year.

This was great, reliving some of the best matches in WWE, big fan of both Sasha and Bayley and from the 2020 slimy awards their Hell in a Cell match was the number two best match of the year.

[@aviralsrivastava5126]

The one list that actually made sense. Other than the no. 1 spot, which I think should be Walter vs dragonaov, this whole list was really unbiased. Thank you, for actually showing whatculture about listing things over showing favouritism.

Balor/O'Reilly reminded me of an ROH-type match for some reason. Definitely in my top 5 for 2020

[@bazingsgozar5836]

Official: Make Adam an Audio book reader on wrestling books here

[@switchblade6]

"Bunch of pricks aluminum vs bunch of pricks aluminium" this might be the greatest sentence Adam has ever said, and that is hard to do.

[@PureBlackDragon]

That Okada VS Ibushi match made me not just a NJPW fan but put both of them in my top ten wrestlers in the world list instantly. I can't think of one match that made me realize how talented a wrestler was so convincingly as that war. I legit thought Ibushi snapped for a bit

[@simbarocksone]

That Royal Rumble Match was PURE GOLD! Also, the fact that 4 NXT matches made this list shows how NXT still had some good matches despite not having a crowd.

[@FortunateKidd]

Just think a list full of NXT, and it already feels like Black and Gold was 15 years ago

[@corywestfahl1691]

The 2 matches Matt Riddle & Sheamus had in 2020 were fn awesome!

[@jonpower9728]

Maybe because it's less than a week old so its still fresh, but Page & Silver & Reynolds vs MJF & Proud n' Powerful had everything and it made me tear up which few matches can make me do.

Omega vs Page at Full Gear. This match is my personal match of the year. I was so conflicted because I like both of these guys, I didn't know who to cheer for.

[@B_Karmani]

When I watched Roman Vs Jey at COC Rush, I did not look away once and I actually gave it a round of applause from my own bed. It has been a REALLY long time since WWE has made me do that

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

My biggest exposure to NJPW is through the recent Yakuza games, and honestly? I should probably seek it out and watch it.

[@KryptonianBMW]

That Simpsons reference.. I love it. Pay this man more!

[@cvg5184]

Drew vs Roman at Survivor Series doesn't get enough love. Even tho the initial pacing was a bit slow and it wasn't your 5 star technical wrestling match, it was definitely a tremendous character-based match between two MVPs of the pandemic era of WWE. Perhaps if it had a crowd, it would make the list tho.
