AEW president Tony Khan was asked to give his thoughts on the move in a new interview with I have a stacked show planned for this week and I have another stacked show planned for next week when we re unopposed by a wrestling competition, Khan said. We ll have some stories this week that are going to be very interesting and are going to lead people, my hope is, wanting to come back and watch next week s show. I believe there might be some wrestling fans who might have not watched the show before and are going to want to come check it out in the next couple of weeks. So I think havi

Once everyone’s had their say, we will tally the scores and get our overall top 5. Tonight we’re concluding the awards with a new yearly award, in honor of the one and only Larry Csonka. I wanted to do something to honor Larry with the awards, which were always his baby each year when it came to end-of-year stuff. I had some ideas percolating in my head, but it was Steve Cook who came up with the idea of paying tribute to Larry’s incred

Asuka – My eternal love and respect for Grace and Shirai aside, this is pretty easily a two-horse race. Bayley and Asuka were dominant for long stretches of 2020. Asuka really shined at the start of the no-crowd era where he incessant yelling and taunting made her stand out against so many people just going through the motions. Bayley was the must-see heel that WWE thought Charlotte would be post-Mania; her work was so obnoxious, and she seemed to be

Taiji Ishimori – I frelling loved this year’s Best of the Super Junior tournaments. Collectively, they were some of my favorite matches to watch this year. I feel like this year’s tournament was a real breakout year for El Desperado especially, but honestly, I’m somewhat turned off by the lack of praise and attention that Taiji Ishimori, you know the frelling IWGP JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, is getting. Ishimori’s matches were some of my favo

NXT – NXT had a wild year. A strong start, kind of a lull in the middle in the “Here Comes Karrion Kross” era, and then it finished about as high as it has ever been. And man, with AEW and NXT pushing each other, both shows were fantastic all year. Honestly, we are all winners as long as they keep competing and that means NXT gives us stuff like Halloween Havoc and Great American Bash and hour long 4 man iron man matches on weekly TV. But for me? I
