One of my favorite wrestlers from the UK scene. He hasn't put on anything I would call great this year, but he has been in plenty of matches I would call good to very good, such as Progress championship match with Pete Dunne, SS16 matches against Tyler Bate and Morgan Webster, and with his best being against Axel Dieter Jr. from Chapter 46. He hasn't hit the point he was at before taking time off with an injury last year but he's still a virtual lock for my list due to how much he's put on a level below that.

I think his pre-injury work was much better than what he's done this year. I just can't think of many memorable matches that he's had. Lots of ***+ serviceable stuff but nothing that really stands out when the scene is so loaded with talent. I still need to see him in OTT and Lucha Forever, which I hear are quite a bit better than his PROGRESS work this year.

I'll echo the sentiment that he's not blown me away this year like he's been able to in the past, but what carries him for me is his believability as a face. I can't name many people in wrestling right now who come across as a more genuine good guy (with a bit of an edge, sure) than Haskins, ESPECIALLY in the UK, that hive of villainy. Hopefully he knocks it out of the park with something in these last few months.

Not the best Haskins year with missing the beginning of the year due to injury BUT I️ think he came back and killed it like nothing happened once he returned. In literally his first match back he has an amazing match with Mark Andrews in OTT that I️ could see people claiming was the best match in Europe in 2017, a real good match with Riddle too in OTT. The triple threat with Andrews and Dunne was stellar. A great Mike Bird match too. He’s been a great addition to the regular FCP roster and regularly shines there in any setting. He has a fantastic match against young Kyle Fletcher there that definitely reminds you how good Haskins is and how he can lead almost anyone to a great match, his work as heel champ in Lucha Forever has been fun and the recent heel turn in PROGRESS with his wife and Jimmy Havoc with him has a lot of potential to bring some more life to his act.
