Over the past seven years, Who's #1 has provided wrestling fans with some of the most exciting moments of the high school wrestling season. From high scoring affairs, matches that last over a half hour, and legendary celebrations, Who's #1 has had a little bit of everything. Before the 2020 version version of the event goes down, I thought it would be fun to take a walk down memory lane and look back at some of the best moments from previous Who's #1 cards.

Cody Brewer Blanks Tony Ramos

I know this wasn't a high school match, but it was the main event of the evening and pretty shocking.

Cody Brewer scored early and often and less than a minute in the match was over

Watch Brewer shock the country and take out Ramos.
