There was a while there where Chris Hero was producing a classic every time he stepped in the ring. He is such an immense talent and a great wrestling mind. Nothing of his really came close to making the list, but he has a lot of bubble matches. I also wont be surpirsed if he pulls another classic or two out before the end of his career.

I really need a big list of recommendations because I think the Hidaka match from EVOLVE is the best indy match I've ever seen, there's that outrageous match with Ian Rotten I forgot all about but remember loving, and of course he was in Regal's best match. When I ran through all of goodhelmet's old 2000s MOTYC sets, Hero eventually became the indy guy I was most looking forward to most. But I'm not very clear on any of those matches save the Hidaka one. Someone please pimp some other high end Hero matches.

I actually think the 2-out-of-3 falls match with Punk is the most overrated match I've ever seen, but it's got such a legacy and was so important to indie wrestling that I had to include it. His best match is the one against Bryan in PWG.

This is by no means exhaustive, but here is some Hero indie stuff I have rated.

*Matches I would seriously consider for my list.
There is obviously a huge gap there with regard to his pre-first-nxt run. There is a lot more to check out there, especially with the Kings of Wrestling. I just haven't sat down and rated any of that so I don't have exact matches in front of me.
