Top 20 Matches At The US Open

.post-content img { padding: 10px; }When you look to the 2015 US Open and the list of hammers that are coming it is easy to let your mind wander on the potential super matches!  Originally I had planned on a Top 10 list. Then I began to actually make the list, and couldn’t pare it down to 10. We'll have superstars Jake Varner, David Taylor, Coleman Scott, Brent Metcalf, Logan Stieber, Tervel Dlagnev, Tony Ramos and more (and more) all in attendace! I could have done top 50 without breaking a sweat because the hammers and combinations are close to limitless. There were a few great match ups left off, but I think this is a great taste for you to see all the potential incredible match ups we could see.
