Match of the Year Tournament - F Block - December 2025

Welcome, one and all, to another instalment of the Match of the Year tournament! 

2025 is now officially behind us, so it's time to talk about the matches that lit a fire like no others in the final month of the year. December proved to be an exciting month of wrestling, with AEW's Continental Classic dominating my viewing, and the quality of wrestling getting better almost episode by episode.

Let's get into these pre-quarterfinalists and break them down, shall we?

Weekly Watchlist 082 - Castagnoli is World Champion Once Again

What's good, supporters of staged suplexes?

Catching up on some of my backlog with this match to start 2026. The Continental Classic took a lot of my attention during the back half of 2025, so I didn't have an opportunity to seek this match out and enjoy it.

But man, am I glad I did.

Matches of the Month - December 2025

The final Matches of the Month for 2025!

I mean yeah, it drops in 2026, but it's December! 

Let's take a quick peek at the month that was and see what stood out the most, shall we? 

Weekly Watchlist 081 - Continental Classic Special 2025

What's new, worshippers of worked whiplash?!

I mean, aside from it being a new year and all, I guess that was a pretty silly question to ask, eh?

Regardless! Welcome to 2026! What a year 2025 was! I have high hopes for 2026 and, if the tail end of '25 is any indication, I think '26 is gonna be a good year for the graps.

Let's go over AEW's Continental Classic semifinals and finals to cap off the year that was, yeah?

Cliff Morgan's Wrestling Vault 2025 Year in Review

 Happy New Year wrestling fans!

Wow, would ya look at that? 2025 is already behind us. What a year it was, eh?

It was certainly a year for me, both good and bad, but I've decided to highlight the good here and remember 2025 for what it was. My first, full-calendar year with the Wrestling Vault. I made a lot of changes to how I work and write and I think that I've laid a solid foundation for the blog for next year. 

But, let's not get too ahead of ourselves here, let's take a peek at what 2025 looked like, yeah?
