TH: It's a shame that most of the attention he got this year was Jim Ross and only Jim Ross calling him "Jack Perry" on Dynamite, because he's had a swell year. He found a niche between the low-power absurdity of Marko Stunt and the freakish agility of big man Luchasaurus to prove he might be the best overall worker not just in the group, but in All Elite Wrestling.
Adam Blount: What a year for Jungle Boy. Innovative, exciting, and what beautiful hair!

TH: Few people get grimy brawling like Kingston, who was one of the best workers on NWA Powerrrrrrrrr at the end of the year. As long as he's around, that kind of knock-out, drag-out fighting will never die.

TH: A lot of guys embrace getting older by retreating more into their brawling and slowing down, but Rhodes decided he'd add more modern aspects to his game. While outside of his match with Cody at Double or Nothing he was mostly reduced to supporting roles, he still reminded everyone how he's perhaps the greatest in-ring worker in wrestling history.

TH: EVERYTHING IS EVIL! While SANADA got the call for a bigger spotlight, EVIL kept pace with a solid G1 and body of work for the year. Even if he was in the midcard most of the year, he was able to be the lubrication to keep cards going before the marquee matches started.

TH: Robinson has been New Japan's elemental babyface, but this year, he added some much-appreciated edge. You can thank Jon Moxley for bringing it out of him. Either way, it helped round out his game and hold his own in a stacked B-block of this year's G1.

TH: The Master of Snake Style enjoyed the perks of being the main villain in Chikara this season, and he handled the role as well in the ring as he did in story. He was a dominant force when he needed to be, especially in his systematic dismantling of Mike Quackenbush in Chicago. He showed versatility in his bookings outside Chikara, never letting the Crucible story dominate his in-ring when a fun match was needed.

Adam Blount: Somehow, someway, I’m still a sucker for Brock Lesnar matches. Put old boy Brock up against just about anybody, and I’ll watch it, but against smaller dudes, holy shit, I’m all about it! Versus Finn, Rey and Seth multiple times, he killed it. And sure he actually did kill Kofi’s title run in just a few seconds but nobody's perfect. I’m probably way in the minority here but I loved the match against Cain Velasquez as well. Felt like a fight, way different than other stuff. Brock wrestles like a monster cause he is one, but his selling is fantastic too.
