He hasn't had a solid gold classic this year like he has in the last decade, but he has had a bunch of very good matches and good performances. He had a nasty filthy brawl with Demus 3:16, a bunch of fun tag matches with Diablo Jr. and a great trios match where he punches Villanos in the bloody head a bunch. Still need to deep dive in his 2017, but even if I don't discover another couple of EPICs he seems like a top 20 lock

You can get a good sense of why us Terry fans have him top ten or thereabouts every year by spending an hour on YouTube clicking through singles matches of his from venues where nobody cares that one of the fifty people watching has a cellphone out the whole time. Whether he's wrestling a name worker or whichever turtle Latigo used to be, there's always going to be great naturalistic selling and a few moments of violence that are borderline irresponsible from a sexagenarian. Add to that his parade of tags with Diablo Jr. and Navarro where he shifts without friction between maestro work and slapping the kids silly, and he may be making his Wrestler of the Decade lead insuperable unless WWE programs a two-year Cesaro-Styles feud.

I mentioned it in the Fenix thread, but the Lucha Bros vs. Black Terry & Skayde is one of my favorite matches this year, and I also really liked Rush vs. Black Terry. Rush jumps on Terry (after doing his mugging/Ingobernables shtick) but Terry just hangs in there, taking a hell of a beating. Rush ends up having to use a tombstone to keep Terry down. Really good, physical stuff. The Demus match was also a really good brawl. Terry also had the really good maestro matches with Negro Navarro against various CMLL guys throughout the year, and the title matches with Diablo Jr. vs. The Traumas. I also loved the Chairo Maestros match which had a finishing stretch that I'd never seen before. Looking at my list, Terry is likely finishing in my top 10, especially considering how great he has been in these different styles of matches. What do people think about the Dinastia Navarro vs. Los Cerebros Negros match from 4/30? I remember coming away from it very disappointed as I was hoping for a throwback to their excellent matches of 7 or so years ago, but instead it was a weird match where they tried to "out-rudo" each other. It was okay, but not at all what I was hoping for. Should I watch it again? Here are some of the matches I've mentioned: PROMOTION NAME | NAME OF SHOW | DATE OF SHOW | MATCH | RATING | LINK | CMLL |

Probably the Mexico guy I most need to catch up on this year. Gonna watch all these matches and he will almost assuredly make my top 50.
