To officially wrap up the year, POST Wrestling has released its ‘Worst of 2020’ show looking at the negative of the past year.
This is an annual show to even the scales with our Best of 2020 Show that was released two weeks ago.
Once again, it’s the panel of John Pollock alongside Wai Ting, and upNXT’s Braden Herrington and Davie Portman as they go through sixteen categories across the board.
