This past Friday night, 3XWrestling held what I firmly believe will hold up as perhaps the 2011 Match of the Year of all independent companies - "The Rebel" Jeremy Wyatt and Mark Sterling, widely considered two of the top wrestlers in the Midwest, wrestled a whopping 70 minutes in a No DQ 60-minute Ironman match. After coming to a draw after 60 minutes, it was settled after an additional 10 minutes of sudden death overtime. Perhaps the most impressive accomplishment is that the crowd was with them the whole match, never once showing signs of disinterest or boredom and reacting extremely loudly to nearfalls, pins and submissions throughout the bout.
I have been watching wrestling for over 20 years and have seen thousands of matches on video and hundreds in-person and after a few days to reflect, I can say without question it is the greatest wrestling match I've ever seen live.
Video of the bout should be available in a few weeks time at www.3XWrestling.com and I think anyone that takes part in any match-of-the-year polls has to see this match.
