    2002: Triple H vs Shawn Michaels - Non-Sanctioned Match (WWE SummerSlam) From the best WrestleMania of all time to the best SummerSlam of all time. And this match is the biggest reason why. First of all, Shawn Michaels is unreal. How many athletes can retire from an injury and come back four...

    2001: Steve Austin vs The Rock - No Disqualification Match for the WWF Championship (WWF WrestleMania 17) Oh fuck yeah. This is my personal favorite match of all time. This is the match that made me a wrestling fan for life. This was nothing but intense from start to finish. Speaking of that...

    2000: Triple H vs Cactus Jack - Street Fight for the WWF Championship (WWF Royal Rumble) We can talk as much shit about Triple H all day but the idea that he didn't earn his position as a main eventer is laughable to me. This match made him because Cactus Jack didn't just beat Triple H up, he...

    1999: Bret Hart vs Chris Benoit - Owen Hart Tribute Match (WCW Nitro, October 4th) What a tribute to one of the most beloved wrestlers of all time. This wasn't about titles, or even about bragging rights. There were no grudges to settle, just a nice tribute to a great man. This was another...

    1998: Kenta Kobashi vs Jun Akiyama - Triple Crown Championship (AJPW Summer Action Series Day 15) Fantastic match. The last All Japan match of the thread goes out with a bang. It's also Kobashi's fourth match on this thread. What a beast. Personally, I don't know if I'd call this the match of...

    1997: Bret Hart vs Steve Austin - Submission Match (WWF WrestleMania 13) The match that made Stone Cold Steve Austin. '97 was a good year in ring wise. There were quite a few matches that you could've called match of the year and not get much argument. I'm with Londrick on this one. This is...

    1996: Shawn Michaels vs Mankind - WWF Championship (WWF In Your House: Mind Games) This is one match I have covered before. Going from three years of All Japan to the corny WWF is like whiplash. But I would say this match is more than worthy of being in the coversation for match of the year...

    1995: Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi vs Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue - AJPW World Tag Team Championship (AJPW Super Power Series Day 15) All Japan takes the crown again! And rightfully so. This is the greatest Tag Team Match of all time. The blend of action of storytelling is done to...

    1994: Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada - Triple Crown Championship (AJPW Super Power Series Day 16) Not only do I agree with Londrick that this was the Match of the Year, I think this is a serious contender for the greatest match of all time. This was pure magic. I said this about Undertaker...

    1993: Stan Hansen vs Kenta Kobashi (AJPW Summer Action Series Day 22) Nothing on the line. No titles. Just two guys beating the hell out of each other. One of the guys collecting the streamers from outside the ring gets fucking stomped in the head by Hansen for... reasons? Why did Stan do that...

    1992: Bret Hart vs The British Bulldog - Intercontinental Championship (WWF SummerSlam) Thankfully, I have not covered this one yet. But wow, what a match. The fact this is still considered the best SummerSlam match of all time by many 33 years later says a lot about how special this match was...

    1991: Super Generation Army vs Tsuruta-Gun (AJPW Fan Appreciation Day) Yeah, I'm gonna keep it real with you guys. This is my least favorite match of the thread so far. I'm not saying it isn't a fantastic match. But it got 9.50 on cagematch, so I was like, it must be amazing. But this match...

    1990: The Midnight Express vs The Southern Boys - United States Tag Team Championship (WCW Great American Bash) Wow. They really pushed a team wearing the confederacy on their gear as babyfaces... Hmmmm... That's all I'll say about it. I wasn't really sure what to expect from this match...

    1989: Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat - 2 Out of 3 Falls Match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship (WCW Clash of the Champions VI) The second entry in the wrestling trilogy to end all wrestling trilogies. Flair and Steamboat had not one, not two, but three five star classics from this year...

    1988: Stan Hansen & Terry Gordy vs Genichiro Tenryu & Toshiaki Kawada - Real World Tag League Finals for the AJPW World Tag Team Championship (AJPW Real World Tag League Day 23) I know you already have to be built different to be a pro wrestler. But you have to be built especially different to...

    1987: Randy Savage vs Ricky Steamboat - Intercontinental Championship (WWF WrestleMania III) I already covered this match in my WrestleMania 3 review, so I'll try to keep this entry short. But goddamn, this match is such a pleasure to rewatch every time. Proving you don't need to go 30 or even...

    1986: Curt Hennig vs Nick Bockwinkel - AWA World Heavyweight Championship (AWA, November 15th) Early on in the match, one of the commentators asked the other if he was ready to go an hour? The other guy responded with "I don't think it'll go that long." Oh boy, buckle in. The story they tell...

    1985: Magnum T.A. vs Tully Blanchard - "I Quit" Steel Cage Match for the United States Championship (NWA Starrcade) Starting this series off with a classic. A match I've heard lots of great things about. Only three out of all of these matches weren't rated 5 stars by Londrick. This one was so I...

    This little idea came to me inspired by a wrestling reviewer who goes by the name of Londrick who I've been following for years. Mainly because I usually trust his ratings for matches and feel like they're fair (most of the time). But anywho, he recently posted a video where he listed out every...
