For the second iteration of this project, what are you hoping to take dive into? Specific promotions, time periods, styles, wrestlers?
What do you want to put on your radar and/or revisit before next year's ballot?

Golden Era is on my list as well.
I'd also include:
Modern Joshi - My real familiarity cuts off around 2000. I have cherry picked some modern stuff, but I need to really dig in a bit more.
Classic Death Match - Probably the style I am least fond of on the whole, but I am really only super familiar with modern. I still like death matches, but even the hyped stuff sort of caps a lot lower for me than some folks. I need to take a look at some of the classics featuring Onita and Funk and the like. Its something I keep putting off and know I should do.
Inoki - I mentioned it elsewhere. I need to give this guy another try. It took me a while to "get" Baba and it feels like there is something similar going on with Inoki for me. He frustrates me
Classic British - I dug in a good bit on this and found some real gems that made my list and a few more that were close. I'd like to putter around this era a bit mroe.
80s NJPW - Just not something I have seen a ton of. I am far more familiar with AJPW from the time period.
Obscure Japanese and Lucha matches - I see quite a few matches from more obscure promotions being nominated that I need to get my hands on and carefully consider.
I am sure there is more. I honestly came away from the project thinking 80s and 90s shoot and 90s Joshi might be my favorite styles/eras of wrestling ever so I also want to dig a little deeper into each and see if there is stuff I am missing and/or if even more expanded contexts enhances the stuff I see as high end.

I need more post-90s joshi, more lucha libre, more Golden Era, and more post-90s shoot style in my life. Also, my final goal for the 2020 Project is to finally make a complete list!
