2019: Year of the Fever Dream Match

[Some Baritone guy IS REDEEMED!]

It's kind of astounding to me how many matches have happened or will happen this year, that we never thought we'd see or never even knew we wanted until it happened. Seriously look at some of these matches:

Minoru Suzuki Vs. Josh Barnett (GCW)
Jon Moxley Vs. Josh Barnett (GCW)
Jon Moxley Vs. Juice Robinson (NJPW)
Pretty much Jon Moxley's entire G1 Climax (NJPW)
Jon Moxley Vs. Kenny Omega (AEW)
Rhodes Brothers Vs. Young Bucks (AEW)
Hornswoggle Vs. Scott Steiner (AIW)
LA Park Vs. Jimmy Havoc (MLW)
Cain Velasquez, Psycho Clown and Cody Vs. Texano, Taurus and TBA (AAA)

Am I missing anything? Because seriously 2019 has been a wild, and excellent year for wrestling! I for one hope that the trend of utterly bizarre matches continues well into 2020 and beyond.

I'll throw in WALTER/PAC from OTT Homecoming earlier this year which was crazy enough and then both got signed to WWE and AEW (at the time) respectively just as the rumors of the new contracts had popped up so it was basically this weird WWE vs. AEW match that wouldn't happen possibly ever again with it ending in DQ but WWE's Jordan Devlin helping AEW's PAC hit the Red Arrow on WWE's WALTER.

I'm seeing Chris Dickinson vs Daisuke Sekimoto at Beyond on Sunday which is something I never thought would happen. Also saw PCO vs Masato Tanaka back in December, that definitely fits this even though that was technically 2018.

Oh yeah, Hornswoggle/Nick Gage happened this year.

During WrestleMania weekend for Black Label Pro.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

David Arquette fought Mr. Anderson AND Jungle Boy this year.

Eddie Kingston had matches with Masato Tanaka and Shinjiro Otani over WrestleCon weekend.

Speaking of Masato Tanaka, he had a match with LA Park a few months back.

We JUST had Eddie Kingston vs. WALTER two weekends ago.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Moxley vs. Janela Non-sanctioned certainly has to count.
