What is the greatest match from 2000? Is it the first TLC match from Summerslam? Maybe Kensuke Susaki vs Toshiaki Kawada from Do Judge!!? Or it could be Rob Van Dam vs Sabu from Guilty as Charged?

Now it’s your chance to have your say, you have until June 7th at 5pm eastern time to send me a list of 25 matches of what you feel are the best 25 matches of the year.

After the lists have been sent in I will be awarding each match points based on their position on the list, so first place will get 25 points, 2nd will get 24 etc….

I will then add all the points totals up and then do a countdown to see what we as a forum believe to be the greatest match of the year.

June 7th is the deadline so you have almost six weeks to go back and watch any matches to help you do this list, you may also use this thread to recommend matches.

I was just wondering today what the next year was gonna be. I really look forward to doing this again, and I imagine with a more user friendly year here, we could get more lists in hopefully.

This would require some real research S I can think of a few off the top of my head but I’ll definitely have to dig deep if I’m gonna submit a list

Looking forward to watching more CMLL from this year as well as Japanese indy stuff. I'm sure I already know several matches that'll make my 25 but I'm expecting more wildcards than 1990.

Looking at WWF alone a, there’s a lot of great matches in this year, I guess that makes up for WCW absoloutly sucked.

I watched the Ironman last night. Awesome match. I'd say the Triple H vs. Cactus Jack PPV matches clear it pretty easily though. 2000 was easily Trips' career-defining year.

HHH/Jack is probably 1st just slipped my mind.

Well worth consideration.

I can't fully commit to this, but I will do my best to fill out a top 25 that doesn't involve Benoit. Armageddon HiaC is unmovable from my #1. One of the all time great train wrecks.
