The executive vice president has featured in many prominent matches for the company this year and has directed most of his attention to building up the TNT Championship. In the year in which he got his name back, Cody Rhodes has shown that he knows how to run a wrestling promotion. Friedman’s success is only just getting started and will only grow further, but don’t let his failed AEW Title opportunity take away from the fantastic year 2020 has been for the ‘Salt of the Earth’. MJF’s talking ability is only rivalled by a few people in AEW, one of whom is the ‘Demo God’ himself, Chris Jericho, who Friedman has now teamed up with. Whether he’s successfully hyping up a match in a series of election skits or telling an in-ring story through his ‘old fashioned’ heeling, Friedman is endlessly entertaining and excels in all he does. Maxwell Jacob Friedman, more than anyone else this year, has really made the most of his screen time. The skateboarder’s face-painted daredevil stunts have earned him comparisons to an early Jeff Hardy, and his popularity with the younger audience (just visit his Instagram to see how many people dressed as him for Halloween, my god he has an army) certainly backs this up. The current TNT Champion has had a solid year with his feud against Team Taz, AEW Championship opportunity, and triumph against Cody at Full Gear standing out as highlights. Look for their alliance with PAC as Death Triangle to feature prominently in the new year.ĭarby Allin is friends with both Tony Hawk and Steve-O, and that immediately makes him cooler than everyone else on this list. And although Rey is also a fantastic athlete, I believe the older brother really shined this year. The former Impact World Champion combines an explosive lucha (obviously) style with powerful arm-breaking, apron piledriving, chest-stomping brutal offence. Although most of his time this year has been spent competing in tag bouts or sticking with Eddie Kingston as his ‘best friend’, Penta’s recent contests with his brother Rey Fenix and Kenny Omega nudge him into the top ten for me. The Lucha Brothers are the best team in AEW to have not yet held the Tag Titles, but individually they’re pretty great as well. He has stood out as one of AEW’s best signings of 2020. Since then, Kingston has gone on to cut killer promo after killer promo, challenged for the AEW Championship twice, and continues to be a highlight whenever he graces the commentary desk with his presence. The ‘Mad King’ made a surprise appearance on a random episode of Dynamite, called out Cody on his pretentious BS, and gave us what is still the best TNT Title match to date. Kingston has only been with the company for the latter half of this year but god damn he’s made his presence known. Who made the biggest impact on TK’s black and gold brand in this most awful of years? Let’s take a look. With several wrestlers becoming All Elite, a new video game deal, and more victories in the demos than they know what to do with, AEW has had a killer freshman year and is showing no signs of slowing down. What a good year it’s been for the boys and girls over at Tony Khan’s alternative wrestling promotion.
