2022 Wrestling Matches of the Year

Sunday, December 5, 2021

 You'll see 2 lists.  Every 4 1/2+ match around the world and every 4 star WWE match of the year. This year, I'm adding AEW to that WWE list. Given the death of NXT, that WWE list is shrinking. The 2021 wrestling year starts in December, 2020. I used to take note of all the 4 star matches I've seen around the world, but that task is now too much for me.
