Also, the placement of Rey/Juvy was corrected. Thanks! Great to see!!! Such things are bound to happen with so many matches

Because I am obsessive I am creating a complete chronological list of every match to ever get a vote in any of the polls.
Although there is some room for error on my additions and chronicling, it would appear that as of the end of today's listing we have hit exactly 1000 unique matches to have been voted for.
What match gets the honor(as best as I can see)?
Mio Momono vs Takumi Iroha (Marvelous - 11/3/2019)

Fujiwara/Tiger 9/7/84 would have been a top 25 candidate for me. A match that gets better every time I rewatch it.

Some reaaaally interesting drops until now. Taking notes of a lot of matches to watch, this might be my favourite part of the project. And yes I plan on posting this ridiculous list Awesome!

668-T. Toshiyo Yamada vs Sakie Hasegawa (AJW - 3/3/1994)
668-T. Devil Masami, Dynamite Kansai & Chigusa Nagayo vs Mayumi Ozaki, Cutie Suzuki & Plum Mariko (JWP - 1/9/1994)
656-T. Aja Kong & Toshiyo Yamada vs. Yumiko Hotta & Sakie Hasegawa (AJW - 4/13/1994)
I worked through some '94 Joshi for this project earlier this year and watched all the above matches for the first time. All 3 of them rule.
648-T. HHH vs Batista (Hell in a Cell - WWE - 6/26/2005)
Might be the best match either man had.
619. Mitsuharu Misawa, Akira Taue, & Kenta Kobashi vs Jumbo Tsuruta, The Great Kabuki, & Masa Fuchi (AJPW - 5/26/1990)
Neat to see this get 3 votes! Often gets overlooked for later trios in the feud (which are also great!) but this is my favourite. Historically important match but also just a blast, with pull-apart brawling, young Kobashi showcasing his prodigious ability at being beaten up a lot, babyface Taue~! and the origin of Misawa's Elbow of Death.
581-T. El Hijo del Santo, Scorpio Jr & Bestia Salvaje vs Negro Casas, El Dandy & Hector Garza (CMLL - 11/29/1996) Surprised this only picked up one vote. Like the above, another trios that's historically important but also super fun.
559-T. Cactus Jack, Grandmaster Sexay, Rikishi, Scotty 2 Hotty & The Rock vs Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Triple H & X-Pac (WWF - 2/7/2000) Watching as a 14 year old at the time I thought this match + the post match was basically the most awesome thing to happen in wrestling history. Not quite, but it certainly is awesome.
519-T. Hulk Hogan vs Vince McMahon (WWE - 3/30/2003) Just thinking about this match makes me smile. Nice pick, I might give it a rewatch soon.
511-T. Aja Kong vs. Meiko Satomura (GAEA - 9/15/1999)
This was a super late cut for me, would've made a top 110.
506-T. El Hijo del Santo & Eddie Guerrero vs Negro Casas & Blue Panther (Juarez - 1987) Love this pick, love that we have this match!

Mad seeing the 91 G1 Muto vs Chono so low. There'd have been a time when this was a top 20 contender.

Mad seeing the 91 G1 Muto vs Chono so low. There'd have been a time when this was a top 20 contender. Yeah, it didn't make my list but that's more stylistic preferences than it not deserving. As far as clean big match wrestling goes, I think this is elite tier and I'd have it above a lot of the matches that will inevitably rate above it.

I believe in part it's my fault, because I might be the highest here on that match, but didn't try to put it on the map of the community. I like to think about it as the male version of Devil/Chigusa.

I've voted for Mutoh/Chono in the past and I had planned on revisiting it before the deadline this year, but I never got around to it. I'm kind of kicking myself in retrospect because there's a good chance it would have snuck onto my ballot if I had. I'd have it pretty comfortably ahead of any of the matches the Pillars had with each other pre-1993.

488-T. Meiko Satomura vs Shinobu Kandori (LLPW - 2/25/2007) Total Points: 50 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: CFOS – 50
Another Kandori match where I am not the high guy. I love it. I also love this absolutely monster rating for this.
488-T. Kenta Kobashi vs Minoru Suzuki (NOAH - 1/8/2005) Total Points: 51 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: Tetsujin – 50
I always feel like I should like this match more than I do. I think it is awesome, like great stuff. However, I always come away thinking it didn’t live up to my massive expectations given how much I love the parts and how much they seem like they should be made for each other.
488-T. Shinobu Kandori vs Yumiko Hotta (Knock Out Match – AJW/LLPW – 3/10/1999) Total Points: 51 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: Cap – 50
Get on this match, folks. This thing fucking rules.
483-T. Jaguar Yokota vs Jackie Sato (AJW - 12/16/1980) Total Points: 52 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: Lemming – 49
This match absolutely rules. It was sort of a wakeup call for me about how awesome Sato was a while back. She has quite a few rippers in 1980. This probably isn’t even my favorite.
482. Shinsuke Nakamura vs Sami Zayn (NXT - 4/1/2016) Total Points: 52 # of Ballots: 3 High Vote: Kadaveri – 76
This feels like one of the more memorable matches, especially under the WWE banner in the past 10 years or so. It was really lightening in a bottle stuff and it exceeded the sum of its parts (and those parts were great).
475. Lola Gonzalez vs Pantera Surena (Hair vs Hair EMLL - 12/9/1988) Total Points: 54 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: mrjmml – 60
I’m pumped to see I’m not only not the only vote on this, I’m not the high vote. This thing is an awesome war. It has this sort of grit and malice to that I absolutely love and is really hard to capture.
453-T. Chris Jericho vs Eddie Kingston (AEW - 3/6/2022) Total Points: 61 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: Microstatistics – 47
Awesome to see this on two ballots and getting a top 50 vote. I was truly surprised by how well they worked together here, especially since that chemistry didn’t really shine after this match.
418-T. Naoki Sano vs Wayne Shamrock (PWFG - 5/19/1991) Total Points: 71 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: KB8 – 30
This was on my list at one time and quite high. It has sense fallen and I don’t have a great reason for it, other than my taste in shoot style getting nuanced just a bit. It is still abusively top notch in every way.
414. Ricky Steamboat & Jay Youngblood vs Sgt Slaughter & Don Kernodle (Cage Match Final Conflict – JCP – 3/12/83) Total Points: 72 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: conker – 47
Socked to see this only get two votes. I watched it not terribly long ago and it didn’t make its way back onto my list, but I always felt like it was still a bit higher in the hivemind.
408. CM Punk v. Jon Moxley (AEW - 9/4/2022) Total Points: 74 # of Ballots: 3 High Vote: Kadaveri – 68
Nifty seeing this get three votes. I was a bit late to appreciating this one. Watching in the first time I thought it was really good, but then it obviously got overshowed. When I went back at the end of last year I really came around on how awesome it was.

That Sano/Shamrock match came across as one of the best shoot-style matches ever when I rewatched it a few weeks ago. Incredible athleticism, skillful grappling, brutal strikes, interesting strategy and stylistic contrast, a hot finish. What's not to love.
