Yay! Can't wait to see this list grow!

There's another match on the list, even with the scary botched finish. I recommend that anyone who can watch the match checks it out.

[maddog1981]

Did they air the whole match?

[Deleted]

There's one commercial break.

[maddog1981]

I'll have to check it out.

Added several matches to the list. Elgin/AJ airs on ROH TV this week and was called a MOTYC. We'll see about that.

No love for NXT? I'd think Zayn - Cesaro would get on your list from Arrival.

I totally didn't notice that it wasn't on there until you mentioned it.

There's the first version of the list.

Updated the list with the three big matches from Yokohama that delivered.

Gonna be adding Alex Shelley vs. Kyle O'Reilly from AAW 4/11 to the list soon. Hell of a match.

Just watched Wolves vs. Minoru and Kanemoto from the Wrestle-1 show a few days ago. Really good match, not sure if I liked it enough to put it on the list. Gonna watch Masakatsu Funaki vs. Kohei Sato later. I figure Funaki alone will make it watchable since I don't find Sato particularly fun to watch.

Last update of the list before Ishii. Shibata and Honma decide to royally fuck this list up in the G1.

[Deleted]

Updated the list again. I told y'all that Ishii, Honma and Shibata were coming to fuck this list up.
