Gear of the Year 2024
Third time's the charm (and this might be the most stacked year yet!)
gearoftheyear.substack.com
It's the last day of the year somewhere and all the big shows are finished for the year, so a few hours early won't hurt!
For the third year running (and probably the most fashion packed yet), here's Gear of the Year 2024!

I don’t think Mox should go a full 0-5 (I’d go loss to Dorada on opening night, loss to Claudio to stop a semi final spot). Will say though? Considering a lot of people’s aversion to top stars losing nowadays, it’s pretty refreshing that the convo around his C2 is about how much should he lose.

Yoshioka vs ISHIN semi-final sounds fab. Believe it’s a first time singles too. If they do a spot where Yuki does the HFF but bounces off of Ishin’s belly like YAMATO does when big boys kick out of his pins, it gets an automatic Amy 5*

Whole C2 lineup looks awesome but Gold League is probably my favourite tournament block in wrestling this year. Getting the 2 Okada rematches I wanted most in PAC/Fletcher. JetSpeed collide and they both get to be in in general after the great in-ring year they’ve had. All killer, no filler.

One of my favourite tweets I ever did was comparing his booking last year (when there was all the hoo haa about it then) to Skywalker's booking over the past couple of years. Bear in mind as well, the latter's losses were necessary and he's been one of the best heels in wrestling in the 2020s

Shun's reaction to losing made the whole thing even funnier lmfao 10/10 Genki KoG hive we are up

I would genuinely cry laughing right. Imagine if Mr King of Gate was gonna make another final (he wasn’t but work with me on the hypothetical) and the company just decided to give Genki the booking with Minoura being injured being like “eh, close enough” 😭 a reverse Dragon Dia BOSJ 2024 lmfaooooooo

Yuki Yoshioka on a quest to get his belt back after a potentially career ending injury, getting revenge for being betrayed in the cage and having inherited Tanahashi’s finisher but he gotta get past the Backslide from Heaven in the quarters

ICL I don't even think people should criticise the trope either. Wrestlers should work cross-divisionally and a promotion that treats tag wrestling as important and loads it up with stars will ultimately benefit. It's half the reason AEW's quality in 2025 has gone back up to where it should be.
Look, we can criticize "pairing two singles stars to win the tag titles" as a trope, but the results speak for themselves.
In my opinion, full time tag team acts in 2025 would benefit by stronger defining of each wrestler in the team.

LOVE Okada showing up late and forcing a 2v3. The kind of simple but effective trios work that they never took advantage of with the PAC/Claudio/Yuta team with their dissension issues.

Mistico vs Yutani isn't a CMLL rec that's a MOTYC, but for me it's a huge triumph. Mistico basically has the most giving performance since YAMATO's Dream Gate run and Yutani, who's quietly worked his arse off on the CMLL undercards, has his biggest career opp and thrives. Absolutely loved it.

PAC is a really good live promo but he really thrives in these pre-tapes. The ones during the Omega feud were exceptional. The short little promo on Darby yesterday was great. He’s very much a guy who does his best promos when he just has a minute to fill.

Have to say, don't have like the highest of hopes on the match-quality front, but I do quite like the idea of running this women's 4-way to jockey for another advantage in picking your own stipulation for the semi finals. I don't think I've ever seen that done in a tournament before

There shouldn't be discourse about TayJay losing just because they're an OG team. You need makeshift teams in a tag division. Otherwise, you get the same few teams challenging all the time. Good to mix it up, it keeps things fresh and you never know what you might hit on. It's how we got Brodido!!!

He's also quite possibly the slowest person in the industry at hiding his face when these spots happen too so it's a good thing he debuted unmasked and everyone knows what he looks like LOL
Finish to EVIL vs Shun one of the funniest things I've seen all year. Not only did this guy study the tapes and go after the bum knee from the tournament, but then he decided "fuck this", lights fakeout, unmasking, low blow for good measure, 1 2 3. Incredible shit

The stomp after just to add insult to injury 😭😭😭 Kid’s a born heel
I really do hope AEW can go for another 20 odd years, cause the second gen wrestlers who come in the door are going to be super unhinged.

Solid R1 of KoG overall. Two favourites were Kamei/Kagetora and Susumu/Ben. Original Jimmyz have been having A YEAR, which is great to see.
Yoshiki gave a confident performance against Junior. Doi/Skywalker a very good sprint. I personally liked the N1 main too.
