Marty seems to be moving around slightly better than he was a few years ago, and I wasn't expecting that from him

So we're not even half way done the year and this has to be up there with one of the best years for overall match quality right? Just so much amazing wrestling taking place all over the world

I like to use the Cagematch Top 100 matches for reference

https://www.cagematch.net//?id=111&view=list&sortby=colRating&sorttype=DESC

Number of matches in the Top 100 by year:

2017 - 6
2016 - 9
2015 - 6
2014 - 5
2013 - 4
2012 - 5
2011 - 1
2010 - 2
2009 - 4
2008 - 3
2007 - 4
2006 - 4
2005 - 7
2004 - 7
2003 - 4
2002 - 2
2001 - 3
2000 - 2
1999 - 1
1998 - 1
1997 - 4
1996 - 0
1995 - 1
1994 - 7
1993 - 2
1992 - 1
1991 - 1
1990 - 1
1989 - 3

And there were none before 1989. 2017's total doesn't include ratings from Dominion, but I'm assuming Omega-Okada II will bring it up to 7 for the year.

The Grindhouse Wrestling Epic mostly does stuff in one take while I assume GLOW is done in multiple takes but if it's one take I throw my support behind GLOW being the Match of the Year 2017 because Billy Corgan wrote a song about it.
