I need to rewatch this but I think it might make my list. Absolutely clinic by Rogers as the heel challenger overwhelming the champion with vicious, cheating tactics. Pretty interesting Misawa-esque performance by Thesz. The finish to the third fall is unique. The commentary was sort of annoying at times but the commentator did a good job playing up Thesz's aggressive streak which fits into the narrative nicely.

Surprised this wasn't nominated. Easy second and will be making my list.

A really cool match. I liked that Buddy was relentless with his cheating while also hitting a couple of big moves. I dug the whole act. I was really waiting for Thesz to lose his temper and sock him but he never gave in and stuck with grappling. Kind of a shock ending for the time. The crowd got its money’s worth.

Tremendous. The sort of match where I wouldn't blink if someone voted for it in the top 10. It kills me we don't have like 500 Buddy Rogers matches because I'd watch every one.
