I will be running this for my group in a few weeks. Only one of them has ever watched wrestling. I want to give them some good matches (hopefully available on youtube) for them to watch just to get a feel for the pacing and look of a match.
Any recomendations?
Actually I just saw the suggested clips
Anything from Wrestlemania X-7, honestly.

Paul Myers thats a great match!
For a deep list of contemporary high-energy wrestling, here’s the Lucha Underground official playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLszDUngAaPFaS1RjnDnabQnGXIgFdZk4V
The matches cover a lot of stipulations, are recorded in high quality, and showcase some amazing wrestlers.
Pacing and Look have changed over time and is different all over the world. What are you partial to? Available on youtube is a ton of Indy spot wrestling, Japanese strong style and FMW “death” matches. There is also 5 years of Smoky Mountain Wrestling episodes from the mid ’90’s for a ‘modern’ take on old school rasslin’.
Here is is a classic match of the GOAT baby face tag team and epitome of the Hot Tag: Rock n Roll Express
