Bayley not being on this list is highway robbery. - Record breaking Women’s Royal Rumble performance and win - Incredible and vindicating babyface turn fueled by genuine fan response - Best women’s match of the year so far against IYO SKY at WrestleMania - 2nd best women’s match of the year so far against Naomi and Tiffany Stratton at Backlash - Great match against Piper Niven at Clash at the Castle

Seth for sure he was great in the build to Mania (personally outside of the rock I think he did the best promo work) plus then had two matches (with a torn knee) and put over Drew so well and sacrificed a lot of himself to help put over Cody as well. I would say the fact he hasn't been able to work in ring for about 3 of the 6 months puts him about but Punk is there so.....

If this was just for in-ring, yes Will Osprey is the best wrestler. But being a wrestler is not just your in-ring work, its also your character work, storytelling and ability to connect with the fans uniquely while putting on good matches. With these things combined, wrestler of the year so far in my opinion is Cody Rhodes.
@meles3740
@meles3740 Ай бұрын
It's true. Rhodes has been plagued with uninspiring opponents, but he's way better than Ospreay overall for the first six months through to the time these votes were done for this video. That being said after this video was made Ospreay was masterful on June 30 and somebody big is going to have to build Cody up in the 2nd half for him to catch Ospreay who may be about to catch fire. Scuttlebutt has it that Ospreay had a lot to do with the booking of June 30 and he apparently has an excellent nose for business. Obviously WrestleTalk has an inherent bias for Ospreay and probably AEW as a result.

There's a lot of Will Ospreay bias on WrestleTalk, and I get it because he's British and you guys are British. The only reason he is first, in my opinion, is because he's British and has the best matches. But you need more than just having the best matches to be considered the best wrestler in the world. In my opinion, the best wrestler isn't just about in-ring performance; it's also about promo work, character work, and storytelling. Will Ospreay does not have the best promo or even the best character. What is his character, even? And what stories has he told this year that are the best? The best wrestler should either be Danielson or Cody Rhodes because they check all those boxes. That's just my opinion. I love this podcast, by the way. I'm not hating in any way; I'm just sharing my opinion, and you don't have to agree with it at all if you don't think it's right.

As someone returning to wrestling (who never knew Punk) his promo work this year may have been the best of all time. It certainly got me to research him extensively and I wanted to see EVERY moment of Punk this year. Steroid ridden Superstar Billy Graham was pretty amazing, but Punk at his best tops that. Rock probably better on peak average and awesome this year, but I'd nudge Punk over him. I'm not sure who was the better wrestler.😆 I'd say for impact at that time Superstar probably the GOAT. My take on this list is that it is unreliable at picking the lower ranks, so no problem with Punk being ahead of so many with just a Royal Rumble performance. At the rate Punk is going with injuries he may want to transition to going for manager of the year.😢

26:43 i take some issue to that. No cody is rocking with the same moves but it's more natural in a sports entertainment style. That idealist americana works for wwe but that ideal doesnt work for a company born from indie sentinment

First… this was one my favorite videos you have made. Keep it up. Second how is there only 1 female on this list and she has been injured for months now? The women’s division in WWE is great and I’ve heard AEW has a great women’s division as well.

Perhaps the ladies will take over in the 2nd half. Mami should be fire when she returns to deal with Liv Morgan. Things are taking shape in AEW for the 2nd half and we'll see what is on the table for Wembley shortly.

I think I'd have Cody ahead of Ospreay simply because I think Cody is a more total package as a star, whereas Ospreay is a guy who puts on very good wrestling matches. His promos and stuff aren't bad by any stretch, but his entire character is basically "the good wrestling match guy". His "feuds", if you can even call them that, have been very threadbare stuff like he and Danielson wrestling to determine "who is the best in the world". The guy was booked as a pure babyface while still being a member of a heel faction for months, and then just sort-of... left finally, with no real repercussions or follow up. So if your criteria is best in-ring performer of the year so far - sure, vote for Ospreay. But I consider being a "professional wrestler" to be more than just your ability to put on excellent pretend fights. It's about character, and connection to the audience. I'll catch an Ospreay fight if I hear it's very good, but I couldn't care less about an Ospreay promo. I don't get excited about the next development in an Ospreay storyline. You could just book him in "dream matches" with no build or story whatsoever, and I think the impact would be the same.

26:09 I love Cody, hes comfortably my favorite guy in the company, but I would comfortably put Daniel Bryan before his first retirement up against him as the best pure main event babyface of the modern era.

How has Rhea Ripley made this list? She hasn't even done as much as Bayley or Becky this year.

How did Punk get top 10 and Toni Storm didn’t even get an honorable mention? Also what’s up with the Penta vote, but he at least has had plural matches this year.

I like this but I will say going forward you should have some qualifications as in half year nominees you have to have wrestled 5 matches & year end nominees have to wrestle at least 10 matches think it would help with voting 💯💯💯

Liv Morgan I'd give the nod over Dirty Dom. Love all the Toni Storm love in this list, but Liv has been a gold mine filling in for Ripley.

Very WWE heavy crew here at Wrestletalk. I would have the following. 1- Osprey 2- Rhodes 3- Toni Storm 4- Swerve 5- Gunther 6- Danielson 7- McIntyre 8- Sami 9- Sting 10- Orton HM- Jericho, Garcia, Willow, Solo Bayley should be on the list, but WWE treat her like crap.
