Mox/Punk getting three votes is awesome. I almost voted for it, being my last year's MOTY, but ended up giving my #100 slot to something more special. Still, it has a chance of becoming one of my favourite matches ever. What an ending to a great feud.

Tenryu/Muto from 01 also with only one vote! This year has not been kind to ol Keiji.
Glad to see Jag vs Jackie Sato getting some love. Jackie is way under-appreciated and this was one of my last cuts.

So many matches I should’ve voted for or somehow didn’t end up the high voter.

488-T. Meiko Satomura vs Shinobu Kandori (LLPW - 2/25/2007)
I never knew this happened and now I have to watch it
488-T. Kenta Kobashi vs Minoru Suzuki (NOAH - 1/8/2005)
In the same boat as Cap for this. The elements are there, but for some reason this match never hits like it ought to
483-T. Jaguar Yokota vs Jackie Sato (AJW - 12/16/1980)
Love this pick
480-T. Yuji Okabayashi and Daisuke Sekimoto vs. Suwama and Shuji Ishikawa (BJW - 1/13/2019)
Can't go wrong with any Strong BJ vs Violent Giants match, amazing set of matches
435-T. Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Jay White (NJPW - 5/3/2021)
Even during easily the worst year I've seen New Japan have, Tanahashi remained one of the best big match workers in the world. I've come round to loving this match and would have it on the same level as Tana's matches with Shingo that same year
397-T. Kana vs Kyoko Kimura (WAVE - 8/16/2008)
I promise I won't forget to vote for this next time round
370-T. Kyoko Inoue vs Manami Toyota (AJW - 5/7/1995) 369. Go Shiozaki vs Katsuhiko Nakajima (NOAH - 11/22/2020)
I'm surprised I'm not the only one that voted for these two, good to see
318-T. Darby Allin vs. WALTER (Evolve - 6/23/2018)
Such a stylistically perfect match-up
316-T. Ilja Dragunov vs WALTER (NXT UK - 10/29/2020)
One of the few Pandemic era matches that felt like it was enhanced rather than hindered by its setting
312-T. Shinjiro Ohtani vs Masao Orihara (WAR - 1/16/1994)
More people need to watch and vote for this
302-T. KDX (Taka Michinoku, Mens Teoh, Dick Togo, Shiryu & Shoichi Funaki) vs Gran Hamada, Gran Naniwa, Super Delphin, Tiger Mask & Masato Yakushiji (Michinoku Pro - 10/10/1996)
Masato Yakushiji's arm drags in this are a thing of beauty. I prefer the 12/16/96 KDX vs MPro match, but you really can't go wrong with either match

475. Lola Gonzalez vs Pantera Surena (Hair vs Hair EMLL - 12/9/1988) Total Points: 54 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: mrjmml - 60
This is an excellent match, love that it made the list.
456-T. Shinya Hashimoto vs Genichiro Tenryu (NJPW - 8/8/1993) 366-T. Genichiro Tenryu vs Shinya Hashimoto (NJPW - 8/1/1998) 333. Shinya Hashimoto vs Genichiro Tenryu (NJPW - 2/17/1994)
Obviously these matches rule, but never finish as high as perhaps they should because the votes gets split across the feud. Maybe the solution is that next time everyone should vote for all the Hashimoto vs Tenryu.
387-T. The Rockers vs Powers of Pain (WWF - 1/15/1990) Total Points: 81 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: KB8 - 20
Can't see this not being fun. Is it online anywhere? I can only find the rematch from a week later which I've seen before, don't think I've seen this one though.
360. El Hijo del Santo vs Negro Casas (WWA - 5/17/1991) Total Points: 88 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: Club - 13
This is great. Maybe next time everyone should vote for all the Santo vs Casas as well.
324. Fugo Fugo Yumeji & Sanshu Tsubakichi vs Keita Yano & Munenori Sawa (EXIT - 8/24/2008) Total Points: 99 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: CFOS - 2
#2 vote for a match I've never heard of has me intrigued!
307. Johnny Valentine vs Wild Bull Curry (Houston - 6/20/1969) Total Points: 108 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: conker - 30
This is a lot of fun. Neat pick.
306. Atsushi Onita and Tarzan Goto vs Genichiro Tenryu and Ashura Hara (WAR - 3/2/1994) Total Points: 109 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: Club - 44
I forgot to vote for this one. My bad.

WoW a lot of strong matches dropped now in the 300s, quite shocking.

Warrior/Rude getting a top 10 vote has left me speechless in a good way.

397-T. CM Punk v. Jimmy Rave (ROH - 5/16/2004) Total Points: 77 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: [Darren] – 24
I know Darren and a few others in the twittersphere have been high on this feud lately. I really need to get back to it. I remember liking it, but not really having it amongst the all timers. If it really holds up, it might be time for me to start thinking about it in that way.
395. Shingo Takagi vs Tomohiro Ishii (NJPW - 8/8/2019) Total Points: 78 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: KAS – 59
Fuck yeah… this is easily my favorite match between the two. They usually work well together, but this one was lightening in a bottle. They hit all the fire-ups and no sells just right in this. Great pro wrestling.
380-T. Adam Page and Kenny Omega vs The Young Bucks (AEW - 2/29/2020) Total Points: 82 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: dkuchler31096 – 19
I have always been the low guy on this match amongst those it would resonate with. Despite the wrestlers apparently not even liking it that much, I prefer the FTR match vs Kenny and Hanger. But if Elite melodrama is truly your wrestling thing, this 100% worthy of a top spot.
374-T. Vader vs Sting (Strap Match - WCW - 2/21/1993) Total Points: 83 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: Andrew Lacelle – 19
My favorite match from one of my favorite feuds ever. I get a bit nitpicky about the match itself and that keeps it just off my list, but this is absolutely awesome pro wrestling.
362. Greg Valentine vs Roddy Piper (NWA - 7/9/1983) Total Points: 87 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: Puropotsy – 54
I had this on my list before and I even had it higher than the dog collar match. Over time, one crept up my list and one slipped down. This match just blew everyone’s tits off when it emerged as a hidden gem on the network, but it feels like many have cooled a touch on it. It is very much worth a spot amongst the greats. I still have it at full marks, so it could cycle back on one day.
356-T. Steve Austin vs Dude Love (WWF - 5/31/1998) Total Points: 88 # of Ballots: 3 High Vote: Mattsdmf – 51
One of the best matches of an era that too often doesn’t hold up for me. This was around the time I really got how valuable Foley was. He was clearly a guy they put in there when they needed something to succeed, when they needed to keep the guy across the ring hot.
350-T. Nick Bockwinkel vs Billy Robinson (AJPW - 12/11/1980) Total Points: 89 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: Club – 41
I have a monster rating on this, but it sits just outside consideration. Both of these guys are near the top of my list of wrestlers I wish we had more footage on. I need to get back to this one sometime.
343-T. Low-Ki vs KENTA (ROH - 12/17/2005) Total Points: 90 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: andylfc – 22
Before the term “forbidden door” had been coined, this event felt like a forbidden door opening up. The match itself was awesome, but it came with the possibility of luxuriating in a new type of fantasy booking for me and my friends. It has been a while since I have watched this one. It too often sits in the shadows of Dragon v Kenta. The latter is probably better, but it still isn’t fair.
341-T. Superstar Graham vs Dusty Rhodes (WWWF - 9/26/1977) Total Points: 91 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: Elliott – 10
Elliott’s love of Graham lately might get me to dive in on some of this stuff. I have always dug him a bit more than the general consensus and it has been a while, so maybe it will hit even a little different now.
327. Kiyoshi Tamura vs Vader (UWFi - 6/10/1994) Total Points: 97 # of Ballots: 4 High Vote: Elliott – 49
Awesome match. Holy shit. For all the talk of Takada v Vader, I might prefer this to any of those matches. Tamura was just can’t miss, man. It is wild.
316-T. Ilja Dragunov vs WALTER (NXT UK - 10/29/2020) Total Points: 103 # of Ballots: 4 High Vote: Microstatistics – 44
I mentioned before that I thought I was on an island having this one so much higher than the 2021 match. This was the perfect Walter match for me. It is fun to see others on board with this one.
305. Kiyoshi Tamura vs Josh Barnett (U-Style - 11/23/2005) Total Points: 109 # of Ballots: 3 High Vote: Gramsci – 53
I’m a little surprised this finished higher than the Vader match. I’m certainly not mad about it, but t feels a bit more under the radar. Barnett probably doesn’t get enough credit for his high end stuff.

817-T. Shawn Michaels vs Batista (WWE - 6/1/2008) Total Points: 2 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: madwizzzard - 99
Cool pick. Good to see praise for the Backlash match in the comments as well. HBK was the WOTY in 2008.
738-T. Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon (WWF - 6/24/2001) Total Points: 13 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: el_wreino - 88
Hell yeah. This was one of my final cuts. Angle's finest hour.
562-T. Francis Sullivan & Albert Sanniez vs Bernard Caclard & Tony Martino (France - 10/21/1967) Total Points: 39 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: Cactus - 62
Nice, deserving choice.
500-T. Akira Hokuto and Aja Kong vs Dynamite Kansai and Yumiko Hotta (AJW - 8/24/1994) Total Points: 50 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: Microstatistics - 51
Considering how Joshi-friendly this community is, I'm surprised that I'm always the sole voter for this one.
428-T. Steve Austin vs Triple H (WWF -2/25/2001) Total Points: 68 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: Kadaveri - 33
Possible 125-101 for me. Great pick.
363-T. Akira Maeda vs. Yoshiaki Fujiwara (NJPW - 8/29/1987) Total Points: 87 # of Ballots: 1 High Vote: KB8 - 14
I respect the Top 20 vote. I prefer 8/13/1989 but this is my current 1987 MOTY.
343-T. Axel Dieter vs Moose Morowski (Hannover - 10/5/1980) Total Points: 90 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: conker - 42
Glad I was beat for the high, if not only, vote. Germany's finest.
320. Jun Akiyama vs Masao Inoue (NOAH - 4/23/2006) Total Points: 103 # of Ballots: 2 High Vote: Microstatistics - 27
This got a second vote, I'm thrilled.
224. Mocho Cota vs Americo Rocca (EMLL - 1/27/1984) Total Points: 168 # of Ballots: 3 High Vote: Tetsujin - 26
A near-Top 25 pick is awesome.
