I haven't followed wrestling that closely this year (2010) at all. I need some listmania recommendations from people here on the board, so I know what I should be downloading. Links to good threads from any board (DVDMB, CZWF, here) that you think may help is also welcomed. When it comes to Puro, people like Alan4L, HJA, ect., are the opinions I respect the most. Naylor's opinion means something to me. Eric's does. Some of the guys from DVDVR I like. I think there's someone there that makes an on-going top 20 list for MOTYC's and whatnot, which I dig.
I'm looking for full shows, matches (when it comes to overall shitty shows w/ only a few good matches, and puro, mostly), the good angles/storylines, promos, ect. from this year so far. From everywhere. WWE, TNA, ROH, PWG, DGUSA, EVOLVE, Japan, Mexico, ect.
The closer I get to knowing what I like, having some recent footage, ect., it won't be much longer until I release a new video for the first time in 2 1/2 years.
So start listin' away, please!

I've watched very little wrestling this year, so this is not gonna be a long list:
WWE: Everything involving CM Punk is pure gold.
Puro: Seems like a shitty year so far, but I guess that depends on your taste, if you're into Dragon Gate and Marufuji matches, this may be a great year for you. The Yes/No threads in the Purotopia forum on DVDVR should be a good start. Alan4L is the king of theses threads. He also keeps a huge MOTY list on F4W, I assume you don't have an account there?

As DDevil said, CM Punk and his Straight Edge Socirty have been absolutely great this year. Look for his feud with Rey Mysterio from SmackDown. Punk singing "happy birthday" to Rey's daughter was beyond creepy.
Angle-wise, the Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon feud was fantastic (until the match itself). On the other hand, Michaels/Undertaker II was great all the way through. Awesome video packages hyping it up, and they delivered another ****3/4 match at WrestleMania 26.
For TNA, check out the April 19th, 2010 episode of Impact. From top to bottom, one of the best wrestling shows on US television since the attitude era. Also check out the Mr. Anderson vs. Kurt Angle match from LockDown. Angle seriously had a death wish there.
On the ROH front, here are a few matches that have gotten big praise: -Kevin Steen vs. Player Dos (Epic Encounter III) -El Generico vs. Davey Richards (8th Anniversary Show) -Tyler Black vs. Austin Aries (8th Anniversary Show) -Tyler Black vs. Austin Aries vs. Roderick Strong (Big Bang) -Kings of Wrestling vs. The Briscoe Brothers (Big Bang)
Fron Japan, Ditch can help you in getting cought up. DG Infinity 167 has a really fun Kagetora angle on it. If you didn't see it yet, Ryuji Ito vs. Jun Kasai from late last year won the Japanese MOTY. From New Japan look for the Best of the Super Juniors that took place 12/24 and 12/25. A few MOTYs right there, including Fujita vs. Kanemoto and Devitt vs. Milano.
I'll think of more soon.

Thanks HJA & ddevil for the recommendations. I haven't watched any Indy Wrestling for the past 2+ years. And I haven't watched any WWE & TNA for the past 2 or so months.
Really need to get back on the ball with indy wrestling though. Just started to watch some MVs on youtube to rekindle my interest, and so far that's what's been happening.

For your PWG needs, definetely check out As The Worm Turns. Amazing, non-stop entertaining matches from top to bottom. I was at Kurtrussellmaniareunion, and while I was kinda disappointed by the show, a lot of people loved it. Battle of Los Angeles seems to be a great show if youre a Kenny Omega, though I haven't seen it yet. And I don't know if you seen Guerra Sans Frontiers as it happened in 2009, but definitely check it out for the awesome main event.
