i
Due maestri del Ring, in questo 2024, che hanno popolato i nostri voti non soltanto nel Match vincitore, salgono sul gradino più alto del podio. Bryan Danielson e Will Ospreay hanno dimostrato una volta di più quanto siano grandiosi e quanto ancora possono o potrebbero dare a questo Business. Il loro incontro di Dynasty vince con 26 punti, ben 10 in più del secondo, ovvero l’Hell in a Cell, anche quello molto bello, fra CM Punk e Drew McIntyre. Cody, Roman e il loro Match di Wrestlemania si deve accontentare del terzo posto e dei suoi 14 voti.
