What are some of the best matches you've discovered during the course of this project (i.e. Something someone nominated which you hadn't seen before and thought was great)
For me
Mariko Yoshida vs. Megumi Fujii (ARSION, 5/24/2003)
Yuji Nagata vs. Togi Makabe (NJPW, 7/6/2007)
Yoshiaki Fujiwara vs. Joe Malenko (PWFG, 6/1/1993)
Shinobu Kandori vs. Yumiko Hotta (LLPW, 3/21/1998)

Daisuke Ikeda vs. Yuki Ishikawa Futen 2005. I had seen it once and enjoyed it before I started participating in the project, but seeing it again really made me think "Wow, this is one of the greatest matches ever!". And I'm not even someone who's a huge fan of shoot style.

Getting into WWC has been really cool. I had already seen the Hansen-Colon feud (three matches of which will most likely make my list) but the Colon-Ayala feud has been really good too. I think Jerry Lawler did a lot of things well and the Funk matches were fantastic, but I feel like the guy I've heard so many people hype him up as is really Carlos Colon. And that might just be a style preference thing as I'm more drawn to the violent spectacle of WWC than I am to the character-heavy (and stall-heavy) Memphis wrestling.

And that might just be a style preference thing as I'm more drawn to the violent spectacle of WWC than I am to the character-heavy (and stall-heavy) Memphis wrestling. I'm really glad you said this. I was really shocked by the quality of their matches. They had multiple gimmick matches that were all really good at worst. I LOOOOVE the Fire match and that is one of about 100 matches vying for my last 20 spots. Speaking of surprisingly good Puerto Rico Feuds, I was also surprised by the variety in the Abby vs Colon matches. I don't think they had a match I'd consider for this, although I thought several were great, but overall I thought there matches were way more interesting than I expected going in. In terms of the OP, The LA Park vs Rush match from BACAL or whatever was fucking amazing and I want to rewatch it because something like that is the exact sort of match I love the most. Also wanted to rewatch Kandori vs Saito from 1990. I also rewatched Dustin vs Buck from Spring Stampede for the first time in probably 20 years and was like "wait...is that the best WCW match of the 90s?" That was a hiding in plain sight match for me. I forgot how fucking perfect it was. |
