Welcome back to my top 10 list that decides what I believe has been the best match in Breed Pro Wrestling this year. Yesterday we finished on a tag team bout between ETM and More Than Hype and today we'll be finding out what I think the best match in Breed has been. It's like Top Of The Pops, except instead of a nice plaque (is that what they got if they got number 1 on TOTP's? I don't know, I'm not old enough to remember) the winners will get a nice round of applause. Let's find out who got number one then shall we?
4. Joe Nelson VS JJ Barker - The Colossal Tussle We're starting off the top four strongly here with a bout that left many in Walkabout with their jaws on the floor. This bout was a qualifying round to determine who would move on in the Leader Of The New Breed tournament and was between the aforementioned Joe Nelson and JJ Barker. This was an absolute barnstormer, both men were busting out fast paced offence that left you breathless, there were code reds and Canadian destroyers galore along with other bits of flippy goodness. This was an early contender for match of the year and had it come a little bit later on in the year, it could have been even higher in the list. 3. More Than Hype VS Destination: Everywhere - My Childhood Was Small, But I'm Gonna Be Big We mentioned chaos early in regards to the More Than Hype/ETM match but that match was a nice stroll in the park compared to what this match was. Both these teams went all out in this bout with the action quickly spilling to the outside and being spread all around Hex. Even when it got back into the ring, it was still chaotic and was so quick that it was often hard to follow who the legal man was. I think this was the match that really announced The N.I.C to the Breed faithful. Although they'd had matches before in Breed, this is the one that got everyone to sit up and realise how good they are. We'll talk about The O.J.M.O a little bit later on... 2. Brady Phillips VS Rampage Brown - This Isn't Murder, It's Just Grenoside Just missing out on top spot it's the big Hoss fight to end all big Hoss fight's. What a match these two men put on. Rampage Brown has always been seen as one of the shining lights of the British independent scene and it's mind boggling that none of the big leagues have taken an interest in signing him because he's bloody good and he proved it in this match. Another man who showed how bloody good he is, is Brady Phillips. 'The king of the undergraps' showed just why he has earned that nickname in this bout with a stellar performance that, again, makes you wonder why none of the bigger promotions are taking a look at him. Both men left it all in the ring in this bout, they even managed to break a chair when Rampage hurled Phillips into the seating in front of the ring. Phillips picked up the surprising win and although he said he didn't need the support of the fans, I think he earnt the respect of the Breed faithful that evening. Now onto the moment you've all been waiting for, the best match in Breed Pro Wrestling this year is... 1. Joe Nelson VS The O.J.M.O - Breeding Ground 2 Is this a surprise to anyone who's read this blog before? I absolutely adore this match. It was 25 minutes of pro wrestling at it's finest and it's between two men who are just at the beginning of their pro wrestling journey. These two put on an absolute banger of a match for the 76 people who turned up to see Breeding Ground 2. Not only was it the spectacle of two of the most athletic wrestlers on the British independent scene trading blows but the storytelling was top notch. The taller O.J.M.O using his height to his advantage and keeping control of Nelson, Nelson eventually getting an advantage after O.J.M.O smashed his unprotected knee on a ring post. The trading of Boston crabs, this was all brilliant. We spoke earlier about The N.I.C getting their break out in the six man tag, well this was the break out moment for The O.J.M.O and what a way to break out. O.J.M.O is such a brilliant performer and looks like a veteran of pro wrestling when he's not actually wrestled for that long. He has a certain aura around him that I think you only see in a select amount of performers, you feel like you are watching a master perfect his craft when you watch The O.J.M.O wrestle. He's a star in the making and I hope he'll be coming back to Breed in the new year. Joe Nelson is another wrestler who has been outstanding in Breed this year and another who in the coming years should become one of the stars of the British independent scene. He's been a credit to the LOTNB division and as it's champion has had some incredible matches. The fact that he's only 17(!) Means that he can only get better from here on out. Hopefully he holds onto that LOTNB belt for a long time because he honestly needs to be on every Breed card going forward. If he does lose the LOTNB belt, he needs to be in the Breed Championship picture pretty pronto, basically, Joe Nelson is very, very good and I want to see him wrestle all the time. So, there we have it. Big congratulations to Joe Nelson and O.J.M.O and to all the others who made this list. Hopefully this time next year I'll be here again writing another list about the great matches that Breed have put on in 2020. Until then, I'll see you when I see you.
