Pretty self explanatory. What are the indy matches you're considering? What is a lock for your list? Is there an indy match you're considering for the top 5 or even #1?

I am probably going to have a lot of independent wrestling matches. But, one that sticks out is one of my favorite matches ever which is the Young Bucks vs. Team FIST (Johnny Gargano and Chuck Taylor) match from Chikarasaures Rex: How to hatch a dinosaur..

Danielson-McGuinness from ROH Unified and the 6th Anniversary are locks for me. The Unified match will very likely make my top 10 and the 6th Anniversary match might make the upper half.

Locks or very likely
Danielson/Nigel (ROH - Unified) - Lock on my list. Will likely be top 10 or 15 at worst. I could see it creeping up pretty high.
Kobashi/Joe (ROH - Joe vs Kobashi) - Another lock on my list. Loved it the first time I saw it. Every time I rewatch it I am reminded that it is more than just chops. It was a magical moment to me.
Danielson/KENTA (ROH - GBH V) - Might not be a lock but is very likely to shop up on the list in the latter half. Great match on the whole, world class performance from Dragon. The false finish off the GTS still gets me every time.
Super Dragon/Necro (PWG - BOLA 2006) - If I dedicate my final few spots to highly rated favorites this is probably making the list. I think its a top shelf brawl, but I also have an absolute blast every time I watch it.
Danielson/Ki (RRC1) - Lock it in. This match is the primary catalyst for getting me back into wrestling so I have a soft spot for it. I still think it is damn near perfect for what they were trying to achieve in the match. The fact that Ken Shamrock will appear on my list twice as a ref amuses me greatly.
Kinda Long Shots
Quackenbush/Kingston - This is the epitome of drama. I love Kingston and I am sort of realizing recently that I was sort of unfairly low on Quack for a long time. This is just pure emotion.
Danielson/Strong (ROH - Vendetta) - Loved this match. it is long and grueling, but it is one that doesn't feel that long to me. Sometimes I think Dragon could extend things longer than they needed to be during this period, but this match felt more organic. This feud had an edge and urgency to it.
Trevor Lee/Chip Day (CWF - Kernodle Cup) - Might slip into one of those favorite spots just because I was there. The second half of this is absolute class wrestling. The first half was very good, but might hold it out of the list.
Trevor Lee/Andrew Everett (CWF - Absolute Justice) - If a 90s AJPW style match took place in a small strip mall in Gibsonville NC it would be this match. It was a really good blend of big time epic, southern style, indy style, and the chemistry of these two. It was just an excellent match
Danielson/Gibson (ROH - GBH IV) - I am pretty easily the high vote on this match, but I think it is absolutely increadible, just great exicution, building drama, and a moment that the company built to for a long time.
Hero/Sabre (PWG - Mystery Vortex) - My favorite match between these two. FINGER WORK! This is brutal and feels different. It isn't quite as excessive and indy-rific as some of the other matches (evolve), but it was just what I want in my wrestling.
Joe/Punk (ROH - Joe vs Punk II) - The best of their meetings. I am not sure it holds up well enough for me to put it on the list, but it was really something special at the time. That whole feud made both men.
Sabre/Strong (PWG - DSTT) - I might be high vote on this one too, but I thought this was the best version of these two as well. The arm work here is excellent. Strong as a heel champ is one of the best things in wrestling over the past few years. I love this match and have gone back to it a time or two.
