Tenryu bullying a pup. Kobashi getting enraged. Rules.

Total Points: 58
# of Ballots: 1
High Vote: Kas - 43
I'll stick to my Tatsuo Nakano matches thank you.
I’m so glad folks get to live through the wrestling they like so much! I don’t think I’ve heard of this one. Cool!
343-T. Kerry Von Erich & Kevin Von Erich vs Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy (WCCW – 11/4/1983)
Total Points: 58
# of Ballots: 1
High Vote: Elliott - 42
They strip the hides off each other. Rules, obviously.
They’re like whipping each other in the face and shit. Just crazy violent.
343-T. Carlos Colon vs Stan Hansen (WWC - 10/12/1986)
Total Points: 58
# of Ballots: 2
High Vote: mvz - 56
Awesome and maybe their fourth best match. What a feud.
Its true. You could easily have 3 or 4 matches from this feud on a list and highly ranked. Hansen vs Colon rules.
343-T. Mitsuharu Misawa vs. Kenta Kobashi (AJPW - 6/11/1999)
Total Points: 59
# of Ballots: 1
High Vote: Bossrock - 42
Haven't actually seen this.
Its terrible. Sorry Boss, but this has to be the worst big Misawa vs Kobashi match.
343-T. Brock Lesnar vs John Cena vs Seth Rollins (WWE - 1/25/2015)
Total Points: 59
# of Ballots: 1
High Vote: Tetsujin - 42
Great fun with Lesnar in. Less so otherwise.
A rare WWE show I watched as it happened. Wasn’t a fan of this then. My instinct is to blame Rollins, but I do remember thinking “Oh, I might be sick of Lesnar if all he’s gonna do is germans & F5s.” And well lets just say its gone poorly for me since then.
343-T. Adam Page/Kenny Omega vs The Young Bucks (AEW - 2/29/2020)
Total Points: 59
# of Ballots: 2
High Vote: Bossrock - 64
ELEVEN TRILLION DOLLARS. Even then I'm not sure.
So cool to see a real competitor to emerge. Definitely not for me but I’m glad for everyone who follows and loves modern wrestling. Now…
337-T. Jerry Lawler & Bam Bam Bigelow vs Tommy Rich & Austin Idol (CWA – 3/23/1987)
Total Points: 60
# of Ballots: 1
High Vote: Elliot - 41
Obviously it's great.
This is fucking awesome. Lawler vs Idol is one of the best rivalries that nobody talks about anymore. Its all about Lawler and Idol crushing each other’s balls repeatedly. Perfect wrestling.
337-T. Arn Anderson/Tully Blanchard vs Barry Windham/Lex Luger (NWA - 3/27/1988)
Total Points: 60
# of Ballots: 5
High Vote: mvz - 75
Outstanding southern tag. A perfect match up.
I love 80s tag team wrestling as much as anyone but this match made 5 ballots? That is wild to me.
337-T. Tatsumi Fujinami, Keichii Yamada, Shiro Koshinaka, Yoshiaki Fujiwara & Kengo Kimura vs. Hiroshi Saito, Kuniaki Kobayashi, Super Strong Machine, Masa Saito & Riki Choshu (NJPW - 9/12/1988)
Total Points: 60
# of Ballots: 1
High Vote: Mattsdmf - 41
New Japan multi-man match? Better believe it rules.
This is an amazing match. Masa Saito has probably my favorite performance by anyone in all of the 80s NJPW 10 man matches. Just incredible.
337-T. Jushin Liger vs El Samurai (NJPW - 4/30/1992)
Total Points: 60

Total Points: 61
# of Ballots: 3
High Vote: Bossrock - 69
Been very long. Liked it way back. Should watch again.
Even when I was a big fan of NJPW Junior style, these two were never people I got excited about. I like Kanemoto in theory more than in reality.

Total Points: 63
# of Ballots: 1
High Vote: Elliott - 38
Awesome 10-minute Michael Hayes brawl? Who'd have guessed?
This is a country whipping match and I could have rated it like 25 spots higher. Its an amazing match. This sort of thing is the standard for violent brawls.
327-T. Shinya Hashimoto vs. Nobuhiko Takada (NJPW - 4/29/1996)

Total Points: 63
# of Ballots: 1

# of Ballots: 1

Total Points: 64

# of Ballots: 1

I should jump into 70s Europe already.
I’ve always liked the JIP/WoS stuff I’ve seen but I never really want to watch it. These are two of the best though.

Total Points: 67
# of Ballots: 1

If I live another 50 years, there is like a .01% chance I’ll watch this again.

Honestly don't remember much of this by now. Probably good!
They have a match in 1993 I liked a lot but I don’t think it was this one. Maybe March or April?

I should jump into 70s Europe already.
I’ve always liked the JIP/WoS stuff I’ve seen but I never really want to watch it. These are two of the best though.

Fine enough. Not my favourite. Flair's robe is astonishing though.
If I live another 50 years, there is like a .01% chance I’ll watch this again.

Incredible. Weeping tears of joy at the top 5 pick.
Honestly this might be the coolest top 5 pick anyone makes. Well done JK! Amazing call. Just a fucking classic. Can’t argue with this at all.

It’s a top 5 Rock & Roll’s match and Arn’s best match ever (not counting WarGames).

Which MX v Fantastics match is this again? Probably great.

Think I've seen this and liked it fine.
Definitely not. I tried to watch Nakamura when he was everyone’s favorite and I liked that Sakuraba match a lot. Could never find that 2nd one that that really stuck with me.

Lasted like four hours but had some okay stuff. Prolly.
Wasn’t a fan at the time because it was so long. Not sure if I've tried rewatching it in the last 20 years.

Really good. Prefer the '02 match, though.
These two had great chemistry. There’s a match between them from 1999 that is pretty close to this level that I’d highly recommend.
