The Watch List takes a look at what matches you should be watching while you’re at home and they come recommended by your favorite professional wrestling stars.
WrestleZone recently spoke with Baron Black, who gave his Battle Slam: The TakeOver opponent, Lil Scrappy, some of his best matches to review as “game film” for their match.
“[Lil’ Scrappy] might wanna watch as much film as he possibly can because I’ve been doing for over ten years now. This is gonna be his first time, so I definitely have the advantage and I’m definitely gonna exploit that,” Black stated. “I think any of my previous work on AEW Dark and AEW Dark: Elevation. Matches right off the top of my head this year, when I wrestled Bandido at TERMINUS 1, Jay Lethal at TERMINUS 2.
“Whether it be the matches I had at Battle Slam, when I wrestled Lee Moriarty or some independent matches I had with Chris Bey, which was back in February this year, or even the classic that everybody talks about still to this day, me versus Rey Fenix from AEW Dark about a year ago. That match is always in my mentions consistently. I had a lot of great ones on Dark and that’s probably the first match I would tell people that haven’t seen anything yet,” Black noted, “check out that one first and then check out the rest of them. I had a lot of great ones. JD Drake, Danny Limelight, QT Marshall, Matt Sydal, the list goes on and on.”
