To get a better background and idea of people variance in taste I'd love to know what everyone favorite promotions are or eras of a certain promotion. Almost whats the one promotion and/or era of wrestling youd watch on a desert island. I absolutely adore RINGS from 95-mid 99 before they went to shoots entirely. The high end stuff is some of the best wrestling laid to tape and the production values and crowds were both top notch. If I were to draw a promotion in a lab though, it would probably look most like the 1st iteration of BattlArts so probably a close second

My favourite runs of various promotions are:
1981 Memphis
1984-87 All Japan Womens Pro-Wrestling
1989 WCW
1990-95 All Japan Pro-Wrestling
1992-94 All Japan Womens Pro-Wrestling
1992-94 WCW
1997-98 WWF (really up until Summerslam, then it goes bad)
2000 WWF
2002-05 Pro-Wrestling NOAH
2005-07 Ring Of Honor
2013 WWE
2014-15 NXT
2016-17 New Japan Pro Wrestling
Some period of mid-80s Jim Crockett is probably going on this list as well I just haven't watched enough yet to have a clear idea of what to put. I also really like GAEA for almost the whole run but it doesn't quite have standout year or two.

Some that pop into my mind
2002-2009 ROH (some ebbs and flows in there of course)
1988-1993 WCW
1985-1987 and 1990-1995 AJW (Mostly just from a cherrypicking standpoint)

For better or worse my fandom is rooted mainstream US wrestling.
1985-1987 JCP
1989, 1992 WCW
1997 WWF
2013 WWE
I enjoy watching a wide variety of older stuff now. Mid-80s AJW has resonated with me most.
