Top 20 Wrestlers of 2020 Updated Table as of eps 69
This was a tough 2 weeks. It was like every major promotion we cover had a big show. Naturally, with big shows comes big title matches. Oddly enough though, it wasn't the top titles that would be the matches of the night for the wrestlers to gain points on their leaders. It was in fact the tag titles and secondary titles that would be the top matches. The exception being Miyuki Takase and TJPW's PoP title for the women.
Moxley and Endo both got some points, but despite the awkward build for the AEW tag titles, the match made up for almost all of the blunder. Full Gear was a success across the board and saw almost universal praise up and down the card with really the only "bad" thing on the show being a botched Vickie interference. Both DDT and Dragon Gate hit their big shows greatly despite both main events lacking in some regard. NJPW on the other hand continues to pump out interference and garbage doing seemingly everything they can to ruin good matches and the fans investment. Poor Naito really.
The outlook on Moxley seems set being so far ahead and the Omega title match set for Dec 2 is the most anticipated Dynamite tv match to date. Could Omega make a late push? What's going to happen to the Hangman? Will Endo blow us away in DDT's DO-H tournament to make his own push?
On the women's side of things, tag matches were awesome and unfortunately it was simply too tough to distinguish whom was the standout single performer, so the decision was made to focus on the more important singles matches ranging from a 5 star match in TJPW to strong title defenses from Giulia and Takase for example.
That said, go watch the TJPW tag title match, Best Friends vs Tsukushi/Anou IR, and the final 3 Stardom tag league matches in Osaka. Seeing Yuka finally crack into the top 10 is great to see as well as Suzu gain some ground on the top 2. It will be interesting to see who makes that final push and see how the table settles going into December overall.
Needs more AAA ;P
