Rating the 5 best wrestling matches so far in 2019

#1 Will Ospreay vs. Dragon Lee - IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship (NJPW Dominion)

This is the final of 3 Will Ospreay matches on this card, and while you can re-arrange them in any order you want, it's safe to say that 2019 has been the year of The Aerial Assassin. This one came off the back of an incredibly hot Best of Super Juniors for Ospreay, and after that grueling tournament, he managed to come through and have an absolute classic with the criminally underrated Dragon Lee.

There wasn't much of a story to be told, just two incredible performers fighting for the richest prize in New Japan's Junior Heavyweight Division, and it was an absolute spectacle from beginning to end. It went back and forth and had all of the high-flying action you'd expect from Ospreay and Lee, and while some will criticize it for being too flippy, it's exactly what you'd want and expect from them.
