It is now time for my March 2022 best matches of the month list. Please keep in mind these are just my opinion of the best matches I saw this month and is not a definitive list and is not the official Wrestling Republic ratings and rankings.
I’m sure there are matches that I may have missed but there are only so many hours in a day and only so much wrestling I can watch. So, please feel free to suggest matches in the comments, as it is possible, I haven’t seen them or maybe they just didn’t make my cut. If I haven’t seen it and I’m able to check it out, it may make my end of year top 25 matches list. If it just didn’t make my cut, if I have time and I’m able to I’ll re-watch the match and re-consider it for my end of the year top 25 matches list.
The top 25 list at the end of the year will be in order and will be made up of my Match of the Month winners, which are guaranteed a spot and the remaining 13 slots will be other top matches from my monthly lists.

MATCH OF THE MONTH: CM Punk vs MJF – AEW Revolution
This was a stacked month of some really good wrestling, but this was an incredibly easy decision for the best of the month. As I wrote about going into this match, the story was so incredibly done and to the surprise of pretty much no one they delivered. Dragunov/Frazer and Hangman/Cole were two incredible matches that would have been serious contenders for this crown if it wasn’t for the Dog Collar match.
