The Cageside Seats' 2025 Awards: Celebrating the Year's Top Wrestling Moments
The Best of the Best?
Cageside Seats is here to showcase the most memorable moments in the world of wrestling from the past year. But with so much action-packed content, how can we possibly narrow it down to the very best?
First, we bring you the most captivating promos and moments of 2025, where emotions ran high and rivalries intensified. These are the scenes that kept us on the edge of our seats, and you can relive them all in this article: Best Promos and Moments of 2025.
But here's where it gets tricky. When it comes to the best male and female wrestlers, we're not playing favorites. We acknowledge that there's no single, objective 'Best' wrestler. However, we can't ignore the impact of measurable achievements like titles won and main events headlined. So, we present our picks for the top male wrestlers here and female wrestlers here, and we invite you to share your own favorites.
And what about the matches? With over 12 hours of weekly content from WWE, AEW, and TNA alone, not to mention the vast offerings from international and independent promotions, it's a wrestling enthusiast's paradise! But it also means that declaring a single 'Best' match is a daunting task. So, we've selected the matches that stood out to us here, and we encourage you to share your personal favorites in the comments.
Controversy Corner:
Is it fair to judge wrestlers solely on measurable metrics like titles won? Or should we consider the intangibles, like crowd engagement and storytelling prowess? Let us know your thoughts! And don't miss out on the full list of Cageside Seats' 2025 awards, where we celebrate the year's top wrestling moments without claiming absolute superiority.
