If you’ve read the GRAPPL 100 and are thinking “I’ve seen all of them” (well done by the way!), maybe there’s a few great matches which have slipped through your net which you haven’t seen?
In developing the GRAPPL 100, we set a minimum of 30 ratings for matches to be included. We wanted to make sure that there was a broader spread of promotions included, and give the opportunity for a few more “lesser-seen” matches to be included.
There was however plenty of great matches in 2019 that had less than 30 ratings which you may want to check out? We’ve pulled together the 25 “Sleepers” of 2019. These are the 25 matches which had between 15 and 29 ratings, so might give you a flavour of something a little bit different.
Here's the list!

Why not give them a watch and get your ratings in? It will be interesting to see if these ratings 'hold up' as more people watch them!
