AEW Match Guide 2024 Golden Wombat Promo of the Year: Hangman & Swerve, All Out go home.
Instantly iconic visuals but the greatness is in the tone it set at the start.
"Low Ceilings"
So well shot & delivered by Hangman, Swerve in ring was also underrated.
Masterpiece.
🔥

AEW Match Guide 2024 Golden Wombat Male Wrestler of the Year: Swerve Strickland (@swerveconfident.bsky.social)
His peak at Forbidden Door, All In & All Out was untouched in & out of the ring by anyone else this year.
Carried himself as the most important wrestler in the world in all aspects.
January 2, 2025 at 1:07 PM
AEW Match Guide 2024 Golden Wombat Women's Wrestler of the Year: Willow Nightingale
An all-rounder who lights up the crowd every time she appears. MOTY contender against Kris & strong performances against a number of others. Miss Dependable for the division.
January 2, 2025 at 12:56 PM
AEW Match Guide 2024 Golden Wombat for Tag Team of the Year: The Young Bucks
Even they would admit it wasn't their best year but still the highest performing tag team in AEW. MOTY contender with Darby & Sting and many other strong matches to support.

AEW Match Guide 2024 Golden Wombat for Wet Fart of the Year: Adam Cole & MJF Story continues when we are begging them to stop it.
Sadly a very hot contested award from a bunch of wrestlers in very high-profile programs who should know better. Could be any of these really.

AEW Match Guide 2024 Golden Wombat for Gooba of the Year: Harley Cameron (@harleycameron.bsky.social)

Such a joy to see on screen. Genuinely funny, multi-talented, always happy to stooge off and show figurative arse. Harleygram was amazing.
A perfect numskull heel to have on the card.
January 2, 2025 at 12:49 PM
AEW Match Guide 2024 Golden Wombat for Debutante of the Year: Will Ospreay (@willospreay.bsky.social)

Set the world of AEW alight from the second he debuted. Predictably one of the best in ring all year but was also one of the strongest on the mic as well.
A highlight of every show he was on.
January 2, 2025 at 12:46 PM
AEW Match Guide 2024 Golden Wombat Nut Trucker of the Year: Mark Briscoe
Always entertaining in any role, comedy, serious, in ring, on the mic. Created a stable of randoms on the power of his charisma alone. Rarely high profile but always trucking nut forward.
January 2, 2025 at 12:44 PM
AEW Match Guide 2024 Golden Wombat for Rookie of the Year goes to: Mariah May (@mariahmay.bsky.social)

One of the best segments of the year in her turn on Toni Storm and a very good match at All In. Also strong performances in ring throughout the year with improvements in presentation too.

The one night story of Will Ospreay at World's End was incredible.
Bruv manages to overcome a personal rival in the semis but is beaten bloody. Comes into the final against a guy he has never beaten clean and despite running hot his previous beating means he cannot get it done.
December 29, 2024 at 10:52 PM
I am exactly the person this Darby & Moxley story is for, I wrote multiple columns and did an episode of my podcast about their excellent 2020 match, how it showcased their character dynamic and how emotionally engaged I was in their rivalry.
But in 2024 I'm not feeling it

Relaunching the AEW Match Guide this year was one of the highlights of my year.
Getting to analyse the greatest matches in AEW history has been such a good experience & a reminder of why I love wrestling.
Thanks to anyone who listened & my guests.
Merry Christmas to all.

One of these cowards better wear that Devil mask to the ring.
If you believe in a story enough to take over a year, kill your title reign, fan support, career trajectory & damn near the entire promotion, despite people begging you to stop, you should at least have the guts to go all the way with it

Kota Ibushi
Kenny Omega

Thanks
