Based on the most recent results, what are 10 matches youd strongly encourage your fellow members to watch. It doesn't have to be your top 10 (we don't need to recommend 6/9/95 to each other). But 10 matches you want to highlight and hope people revisit between now and next years voting.

Hijo del Santo vs Espanto Jr, but the 1988 title match. To me is even better than the máscaras match.
Nigel/Danielson from the 6th Anniversary show. Again, even better than the canon match.
Naito/Tanahashi 2017 trilogy. People NEED to take those matches into consideration. All of them are motdc.
Hokuto/Meiko from I believe April 2001, at GAEA. I couldn't believe how perfect everything was being, to the point I even think it's the better Hokuto match ever.
Martel/Flair, NWA WHC vs AWA WHC, at AJPW in 1985. My current MOTY for that year, and a match with very high stakes, I can't believe how poorly remembered it is.
Bockwinkel/Wahoo, Augost 1983. Bock has more than the Hennig match to be considered for a top 100. Incredible brawl.
Juice Robinson vs Jon Moxley at last year's BOSJ show. Everyone talks about Ospreay/Shingo but this is even better to me because of Moxley's reborn as a character and worker, he's so vicious and charismatic and I love it. Juice is also an amazing babyface here, tons of fire and urgency.
Funaki/Nakano from an 1989 UWF show. Maybe the best sprint ever, and best shoot style match ever. This needs to be in the conversation for shoot biggest references alongside the Tamura/Han, Tamura/Yammamoto, Fujiwara/Tiger, Fujiwara/Takada and Ikeda/Ishikawa matches.

Does anyone know where I can find this Hokuto/Kandori 2001 match? Needless to say... I'm interested
Totally agree on the Funaki/Nakano match. I haven't watched it in a long time, but maybe it needs a rewatch. I loved on first go and have it just outside top 100 level.

I'm pretty sure brother tetsujin meant to type Hokuto vs. Meiko Satomura, which took place in GAEA in April of 2001. According to Cagematch, Kandori only wrestled once for GAEA, and that was in 1996.

Ahhh... if that is the case, I also totally agree on that Hokuto vs Meiko match. It made my list last year and JUST missed the cut this. All timer of a homestretch.

Bryan Danielson vs Chris Hero September 2009 - In my eyes the best Bryan match and best indie match ever.
Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Suwama CC final 2008 - By far Suwama's best match and one of Tanahashi's best singles performances.
Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Shinsuke Nakamura September 2011 - With how good and important Tanahashi's 2011 title reign was, I figure the best match from that reign deserves more attention.
Toshie Uematsu vs Yoshiko Tamura July 1997 - Very surprised this hasn't already been nominated with all the love it has on the PWO board. This is an excellent Joshi match.
El Dandy vs Black Warrior October 1996 - I saw this a few years ago and was blown away by it. Need to give it a rewatch at some point.
Manami Toyota vs Akira Hokuto January 1991 - Very focused performance from Toyota and some great selling by Hokuto.
Hayabusa and Jinsei Shinzaki vs Jun Akiyama and Mitsuharu Misawa - I really enjoy the story-telling with how Hayabusa and Shinzaki use Akiyama to attack Misawa.
Atlantis vs La Sombra Mask vs Mask 2015 - Great match, not much else to say.
Bob Orton Jr. vs Terry Funk 1983 - I can't be the only one to think it's a classic right? Excellent technical work on display worked at a nice pace.
Chris Jericho vs Rey Mysterio The Bash 2009 - Jericho's best singles match, a really nice face vs heel match.

Naito/Tanahashi 2017 trilogy. People NEED to take those matches into consideration. All of them are motdc. Think I'm gonna revisit these matches as I've not seen them since they first happened. I liked them all a lot but would like to see if they're better than I remember. |

I'm basing my 10 strongly encourage to watch matches based more on what seems to do well than my specific preferences. I don't expect anyone else to view Jerry Lawler vs Andy Kaufman as a top 10 contender. But there are some matches I think should be getting strong consideration based on folks stylistic preferences.
Crush Gals vs Jaguar Yokota & Devil Masami (AJW 6/28/84)
Jaguar Yokota vs La Galactica (AJW 2/27/85)
Crush Gals vs Dump Matsumoto & Bull Nakano (AJW 10/10/85)
Dump Matsumoto vs Yukari Ohmori (AJW 3/20/86)
Chigusa Nagayo vs Yukari Ohmori (AJW 6/22/86)
Fuerza Guerrera vs Octagon (EMLL 11/1/91)
Devil Masami vs Bull Nakano (JWP 4/18/93)
Gedo & Jado vs Yoshihiro Tajiri & Yuichi Tanaguchi vs Kengo Kimura & Takashi Ishikawa vs Shoji Nakamaki & Takashi Okano vs Kendo Nagasaki & Satoru Shiga (BJPW 6/3/97)
Alexander Otsuka vs Mitsuhiro Matsunaga (BattlArts 11/9/99)
La Parka, Rey Mysterio Sr & Halloween vs Rey Mysterio Jr, Damian 666 and Vampiro (Tijuana 10/26/01)
Just give 80s Joshi a shot.
