    AJ Styles vs. Kazuchika Okada - NJPW G1 Climax 24: Day 1 Pretty much on the same level of their previous two matches, which were of a pretty high standard. Some really nice and fluid sequences throughout the match, with the highlight being Okada's reversal of the Styles Clash into a Tombstone...

    Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy - Cyber Sunday 2008 A great follow up to their match at No Mercy. It wasn't quite as good as that match, but there's still so much to like about it. The chemistry between both guys back then was just great, and seriously underrated. I liked how they continued on with the...

    Adam Cole vs. Michael Elgin - ROH Death Before Dishonor XI There's so much that hurt this match really. The crowd were dead for most of the match, and McGuinness and Kelly were worse on commentary than usual, but despite that I think both guys put in a good effort. I liked the slow start to the...

    Adam Cole vs. Drake Younger - PWG All Star Weekend 9: Night 2 I haven't seen that much from Drake Younger, but this is probably the best match I've seen him in. Some wrestlers can get away with no-selling big moves in matches and I think Drake is one of them. He does a great job of just looking...

    Kyle O'Reilly vs. Sami Callihan - PWG All Star Weekend 9: Night 2 Nice change of pace to see a PWG match show some in-ring psychology, as the match for the most part revolved around the injured leg of O'Reilly. There was some really good back and forth action between the two, until the focal...

    Sami Zyan vs. Antonio Cesaro - NXT Excellent match. Didn't quite live up to the hype it was getting, but going in I didn't expect it to. Without having seen any of their feud prior to this I felt both guys did a great job of giving the match a grudge-like feel. I really liked the way they used...

    Bryan Danielson vs. Takeshi Morishima - ROH Final Battle 2008 Second time watching this match and it still holds up pretty well. Even though this match took place a year after their last encounter both guys still brought off the immense intensity from their matches in 2007. There was high drama...

    Roderick Strong vs. Taiji Ishimori - ROH TV 24/5/13 Definitely one of the better matches I've seen on ROH TV. There were a few moments in the match where both men didn't mesh that well, especially when Ishimori went to do any dives to the outside (he always seems to stall like crazy before...

    Samoa Joe vs. Austin Aries - ROH Final Battle 2004 The match started off really well with Austin Aries trying to figure out the best way to take on Samoa Joe. He started with a really fast pace, before applying some headlocks, and then going onto the leg of Joe. Things slowed down a good bit...

    Prince Devitt vs. Kota Ibushi - NJPW Wrestle Kingdom V A great match here that really showcased both mens chemistry together. It was as you'd expect from both of these men - fast paced, back-and-forth, and pretty hard hitting, but it was the precision of all these moves and the fluidity of the...

    Kevin Steen vs. Adam Cole - PWG Mystery Vortex Really violent stuff. The ladder shots, the thumbtacks, the stack of chairs, everything used in this match brought off the hatred between these two men extremely well. I didn't like the start of the match that much. I get that they wanted to Steen...

    Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Hero - Final Countdown Tour: Dayton Loved the chain wrestling at the start, with both men focusing on each other's arm. The match then turned more hard hitting when Hero hit his first elbow, which was only going to happen. And while the latter stages of the matches had...

    Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle - Unforgiven 2002 SO FUCKING GOOD. I think these two men work incapable of having a bad match together, and here it really showed here. For a match that was under 15 minutes you'd think that these two men would need more time to build-up a solid match, but that wasn't...

    Eddie Guerrero vs. Edge - Unforgiven 2002 Really good match. There wasn't anything overly special about it exactly, but I thought there was simply nothing wrong with it either. It was fluid, told a good story concerning Edge's concussion from the week (or few weeks) before and I thought Eddie...

    Triple H vs. Sheamus - WrestleMania XXVI The match was slow to start off with, but overall I thought it was pretty enjoyable. Particularly liked the end of the match. It wasn't anything special, but having the veteran play possum and put Sheamus into the Pedigree was a nice touch, and kind of...

    World's Greatest Tag Team vs. Eddie Guerrero & Tajiri - Ladder Match - WWE Judgment Day 2003 With WGTT having never been in a Ladder match before, and Guerrero/Tajiri not regular tag team partners, I thought it was a good bout under those circumstances. There were a few things in the match that...

    Jeff Hardy vs. Rob Van Dam - Ladder Match - Raw 22/7/02 Pretty good match. With such little time given they decided to fit in as many spots as possible, rather than trying to pace the match. The spots were pretty good to be fair (especially when RVD pushed the ladder from under Hardy), but it...

    Eddie Edwards vs. Chris Hero - ROH Revolution: Canada 2011 This match makes me wish I didn't purchase Revolution USA instead of Revolution Canada all those months ago, because this is a brilliant match. There's simply so much to like about it. The pacing in the match is wonderful, Hero's work on...

    Nigel McGuinness vs. Tyler Black - ROH Take No Prisoners 2008 Say what you want about overkill in matches, but when it's done right it can come off extremely well. This match saw Tyler Black take a serious amount of punishment for over 20 minutes, while hitting some of his signature moves as...

    Samoa Joe vs. Kenta Kobashi - ROH Joe vs. Kobashi Thrilling match. I don't know why I held out so long to see this match, but I'm really glad I finally got around the seeing it. The atmosphere was amazing (I don't know how a crowd that size could make such a noise) and were behind every shot...
