I'm thinking June 6 1995, but it's been quite some time since I've seen it so who knows. I was very high on the 12/3/93 tag league finals when I recently watched it, making it only about the 8th or 9th ***** rating I've given so it will be an interesting comparison when I watch the later tag match contenders.
I will be interested to see where some of my recent favourites fall in comparison to the older stuff. In particular, Nakamura vs. Ibushi from the 1/4/15 dome show is probably my most highly rated match from the last 20 years or so.

Was actually trying to narrow down my list of GOAT candidates before this project was announced. Here's the list I've got.
Misawa/Kawada/Kobashi vs. Jumbo/Fuchi/Taue 4/20/91
Misawa vs. Kawada 6/3/94
Misawa/Kobashi vs. Kawada/Taue 6/9/95
Misawa/Akiyama vs. Kawada/Taue 12/6/96
Misawa vs. Kobashi 1/20/97
Kawada vs. Kobashi 6/12/98

There are a few that will always be near the top for me: MS1/Sangre Chicana, Joe/Necro, Hokuto/Kandori. I'm trying to go in with an open mind and let something wow me. In some way, I'm almost hoping that a match I've never seen before will end up 1 or in my top 10 or something like that.

Bryan Danielson vs. KENTA (ROH Glory By Honor V)
Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness (ROH 6th Anniversary Show)
Kazuchika Okada vs. Katsuyori Shibata (NJPW Sakura Genesis)
Mitsuharu Misawa vs. Toshiaki Kawada (AJPW 06/03/94)
Can't imagine anything else than one of those 4 being #1 now.

I started my spreadsheet tonight and added the matches I felt most comfortable adding based on my gut. Granted this is only 15 matches and this will change as I rewatch these matches. But my top 5 off of what's out there and I have good recollection of:
Magnum TA vs Tully Blanchard (Steel Cage, I Quit 11/28/1985)
Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat (2/3 Falls - NWA World Championship - WCW - 4/2/1989)
Ric Flair vs Barry Windham (NWA World Heavyweight Title - NWA TV - 1/20/1987)
Eddy Guerrero vs Rey Misterio Jr (Title vs Mask - WCW Halloween Havoc - 10/26/1997)
Bret Hart vs Steve Austin (Submission Match - WrestleMania XIII - 03/23/1997)

The 1984 New Japan Gauntlet & 1988 New Japan Elimination tag are #1 contenders for me which means I better nominate them sometime soon since I don't believe they have been yet.

6/9/95 is my #1
Then there are about a dozen contenders for #2: Hokuto & Kandori vs Bull & Kong, Togo vs Billyken (best match I've seen live), Flair vs Funk I Quit match, Hart vs Austin WM 13, IYH Canadian Stampede, Baba vs Robinson, Han vs Tamura, Hansen vs Andre, Tsuruta & Tenryu vs Choshu &Yatsu, Sekigun vs Ishungun, Chiggy vs Dump, M-Pro 12/16/96, Santo vs Casas vs Dandy, Tenryu & Kawada vs Gordy & Hansen, Vader & Tenta vs Albright & Yamazaki, Misawa, Kobashi, Kawada vs Tsuruta, Taue, Fuchi...
And that's already over a dozen.
Top 20 will be some hard rankin'

Yep. While it's not impossible, I would be seriously shocked if anything displaced it for me. |

Austin/Mankind Over the Edge ‘98
Misawa/Kobashi (3/1/2003)
But I still have hundreds to watch.

Misawa/Jun vs. Taue/Kawada 12/6/1996 is also a contender.

At the moment, I think the 9/23/1983 Sangre Chicana vs. MS-1 match will be my #1 Greatest Match Ever.
Okada vs. Omega from 6/11/2017 and Flair vs. Steamboat from 4/2/1989 are the only other contenders for the #1 spot at the moment.

...however, I still need to re-watch several classics from the 1990s, like Hokuto vs. Kandori and Misawa vs. Kawada. That could possibly shake things up in my top 10.

I re-watched some classics.
At the moment, I'd say my top 3 is...
1. Hokuto vs. Kandori 4/2/93
2. Chicana vs. MS-1 9/23/83
3. Misawa vs. Kawada 6/3/94

Sangre Chicana vs MS-1 Shinobu Kandor vs Akira Hokuto Holy Demon Army vs Misawa/Kobashi (6/9/95) Kobashi vs Misawa (1/20/97) Flair vs Steamboat (clash) Those are sort of the ones off the top of my head that seem like contenders. It will take some doing to beat out Sangre Chicana vs MS-1 though Drew up a quick draft of my top 50 today. Some additions to this. Hansen/Colon (Strap Match) Hansen/Kobashi (both, probably) Bockwinkel/Hennig |
