So somehow we have arrived again, my friends. It is the end of 2025, which means because we are

0:04.9

massive nerds, we put on our geek hats and we talk about the 10 best wrestlers of the year.

0:10.1

There was no need to do it in that voice. I want to make it very clear because people

0:13.2

yell me every single 12 months. This is the list as per what culture? I am just the mere host.

0:19.1

There'll be other videos you find where you can see Simon Miller's

0:21.7

best wrestlers of 2025. But isn't it always nice to pour some joy onto some people's heads? And no,

0:29.1

that wasn't a euphemism. Of course, you can get the comments down there as well and let us know

0:32.7

who your favourite superstars have been over the last 12 monthmonth period, and you can like and subscribe.

0:38.0

As for now, let's sit down, let's get ready to have a big old fight.

0:42.6

And yes, here is What Culture Wrestling's 10 best wrestlers of 2025.

0:47.7

Now listen just quickly as well, there are some honorable mentions for people that kind of got injured

0:51.2

so weren't able to be as consistent, but a Liv Morgan, a Rear Ripley, a C. Munk, and even somebody like Cody Rhodes, who was filming a lot of outside projects, there's going to be a bunch of people who of course do deserve a woohoo, you were great, but they're not going to get in this list. Number 10, Carl Fletcher. And if you go through every single thing that Carl Fletcher has done this year, you have to at least nod your head in his direction. Because if every single person that enters the world of sports entertainment is told, you have to make sure you get closer and closer to the main event scene and a world championship, well, who the flubb has done that better than Kyle. I mean, he even had a world title match and he came this close, and of course that was against Hangman Adam Page,

1:48.4

and that was brilliant too. Plus the pay-per-view it was on did pretty damn goodbyes, and that usually tells you as well, this guy is ready for the big time. Every single match he had as well was just so damn brilliant, especially with that TNT title, I mean everything he did with Mark Prisco, Pagahashi, Dustin Rhodes, Daniel Garcia.

1:52.3

He even went out of his way to tick other boxes that veterans especially would tell you about.

1:56.9

We think you should get more jacked.

1:58.9

Well, once again, go back a couple of years.

2:01.2

Look at Carl Fletcher in 2003 and look at him now. Man, that guy became a hoss. Plus, I met Kyle. He's like a legit 6-4. He's a big old lump. His week-to-week consistency has just been brilliant. And again, he did take that T&T championship. and I think ever since he won it in the summer,

2:17.0

he has added a lot of prestige to it

2:18.7

and also he'll do what you should do with those secondary belts. take that T&T Championship and I think ever since he won it in the summer he has added a lot of

2:17.8

prestige to it and also he'll do what you should do with those secondary belts and he will use

2:22.6

it like we've already talked about to get to the tippity top. I would imagine that when his

contract comes due whatever the hell that would be, he is going to be rained down with on offers
