Which match you got
Devil Masami vs Chigusa Nagayo (WWWA All Pacific Title – 8/22/1985)
vs
Jerry Lawler vs Bill Dundee (Loser Leaves Town vs Hair – Southern Heavyweight Title – 12/30/1985)
I try to do matches I can share, but I wanted to get to this Nagayo v Devil match. It is out there so if you haven't seen it, poke around. It is well worth it.

I wrote more about this in my rewatch thread, but this boils down to three things
1) I like Devil v Nagayo a bit more than I remembered from a few years ago. It really strikes me as a match that transcends Joshi and stacks up with some of the best title matches regardless of gender, time, place.
2) Lawler v Dunde in 85 might be one of the best 10-15 matches ever for me, but it is clipped in a way that makes it really hard to put it above some of the other matches in the top 50 or so.
3) Devil Masami is better than your favorite wrestler.

I think its on the short list for best title match ever. If you adjust for time and place (compare it to a Flair, Martel, Jumbo or Fujinami match from 85) this sorta blows everything out of the water. If Misawa and Kobashi worked the same match move for move in 1998 it would still look great. 2. This is fair. I don't agree but it is fair. 3. This is a true fact |

I had Lawler v Dundee quite a bit higher than Devil v Nagayo on my original ballot, but on rewatch they would be much closer. Still would pick the LLT match though.
