There were a lot of people who got elevated by Uncharted Territory, but none as much as Chris Dickinson. His road to his match with Daisuke Sekimoto, which itself was great, had me tuning in every week and he brought it each and every time. With the looming "Wednesday Night Wars" again depleting the ranks of the indies, I would imagine Dickinson would be near the top of the list of name guys who can bring it in the ring and can be pushed as a legitimate star. There may be residual heat from the Kimber Lee video (which feels like ages ago), but if he isn't either signed or headlining the bigger indies by the end of 2019, something is horribly wrong.

Hard to imagine with the way things are going Dickinson not being signed next year unless he is adamant on not signing.
Like what was already said, Dickinson increased his stock big time with Uncharted Territory, essentially being tasked to be the workhorse of the show. He rose to the challenge. The double-edged sword here is I don't know if he produced a truly great match during the run despite getting matches against Yehi, Thatcher, Kingston, and Lawlor. Might need to go back through them but if you can't get a great match out of that group of talent and just a series of PRETTY DARN GOOD matches, you can still be one of the top wrestlers of the year but hard to consider you for the top spot.
That said, I thought the Barnett match was the best match I have seen from him this year. A match that definitely felt like him rising to the opportunity. Bloodsport is likely going to be a THING and given him rolling around and laying it in like he did, he probably should get a bigger match next go around.
