2017 was the first full year of attending wrestling shows. I've seen some of the best wrestlers on the circuit such as Travis Banks, Mark Andrews and Mark Haskins as well as international talent such as Matt Riddle, Keith Lee and 'Speedball' Mike Bailey. Seeing Will Ospreay live was also a big moment, as he was one on the checklist I really wanted to see.
Overall, I've been to 16 shows this year, all great shows. Here's the run-down:
#1 - PROGRESS Wrestling - Life, the Universe and Everything - 15/01/17

In these shows I saw some amazing matches including ladder matches, a deathmatch and a Snow Holds Barred bout. I saw surprise appearances from WWE contacted wrestlers including Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate, Finn Balor, Tommy End and Triple H. Despite all the guest appearances, there are a few wrestlers who I've seen at most shows and they always give it their all. Travis Banks is always a joy to watch, Aussie Open went from singles opponents to one of the best teams on the circuit but my favorites around are 'best boys' Chris Brookes and Kid Lykos, CCK.

2) Chris Brookes beat Inflatable Kid Lykos beat Mark Davis and Inflatable Kyle Fletcher: Real Kid Lykos killed Inflatable Kyle Fletcher with a scissors. Brookes then choked Davis out with the dead body of his tag partner.
3) Nothing to Prove (Elijah, Drew Parker and Jayson Bishop) beat Jack Sexsmith, Love Making Demon and El Phantasmo
4) Snow Holds Barred: Travis Banks of the Anti-Anti Fun Police beat Chief Deputy Dunne: The match included a Coast to Coast with a Christmas Tree and Dunne being slammed into Christmas decorations. Santos was also blinded by snow and sent into the crowd where he cheered on Dunne despite his inability to see.
5) ATTACK! Championship: 'Flash' Morgan Webster beat Eddie Dennis, Mike Bird and Wild Boar: This was a rematch from what was supposedly Mark Andrews' last match at "Mandrews' goes to America" way back when he joined TNA. During the match Webster dived off a ledge by the entrance way.
6) Danny Jones beat Kyle Fletcher
7) ATTACK! Tag Team Championships: Bowl-A-Rama (Splits McPins and 'Fat Katt' Lloyd Katt) beat The Brothers of Obstruction: This was a heated affair and after a good start, Splits tried a suicide dive but got smacked by a wet floor sign in mid air. Splits' face was busted open (again), he tried to carry on but then went to the back. Fatt Katt struggled with the 2-on-1 but then made the comeback until Chief Deputy Dunne and Santos made his way out and Katt was slammed off the apron through some presents. Splits somehow returned and both Santos and Dunne were sent packing. The Brothers of Obstruction ripped open Splits' mask but Bowl-A-Rama managed to overcome to win the titles in a true feel good moment to end 2017. MOTN
