Kamala vs. The Invader (2/22/86)
Oh man what a gusher by Invader I. And they fucking were laying it in to each other. It's like a 6 minute competing squash but it was great.

Invader III vs. Eric Embry (1/6/86)
This was fun; went over a bunch of commericals so felt super clipped but still got a lot of the match and was good. I reallly liked Embry heeling/bumping for as much of the match Invader 3 controlled. The ending was great with some good near falls until the nice dive before the ending.

Invader I vs. Chicky Starr (1/6/86)
This was really good with Chicky mauling him for a while then the eventually big comeback. The only problem was before the comeback Chicky sits in an armbar a bunch but the comeback and beginning comeback was hot enough I dug it.

Carlos Colon & The Invader vs. Los Pastores (Ambulance Match) (12/21/85)
This match was fun but I really lost control of what was going on at times. Like the craziness was enough for me to like it but I couldn't tell much of what happened afterwards.

Biggest Matches Left On The Table
Smaller level than all of these but ROH never did a Ki/Joe rematch and that was what a lot of 2004/2005 seemed to be building too. Getting one guy to job and Low Ki being Low Ki would have made it hard but that was a hot feud and for the level would have been great if they actually would have had a big heated match.

Reactions to the List: 10-1
Kobashi probably would have been my number 1 if I would have put a ballot through; I see all the flaws and can't really argue with them. But then he has just so many visceral moments that stick with me; when he goes for and hits the moonsault against Takayama, his man on the apron tagging with Go, the memories of seeing him live against Joe that he would have to be my 1 because he hits that perfect spot for me more than anyone else. Even if there's moments in even the same match where I somewhat roll my eyes.

Highest Ranking Wrestler without a Number 1 vote
Santo? I don't know if anyone has dropped a 1 on him but he could have a ton of top 10s.

Reactions to the Honorable Mention List, Part 3
I think the Takayama ranking was the most surprising to me so far. I know it's a short prime but I thought he was really well regarded here to at least get Top 100. Maybe I overrated how many people here watched 00s Japan.

Reactions to the Honorable Mention List, Part 3
Holy shit. I just watched some Terry Rudge matches because he was the highest guy I've never heard of and he fucking rules.

Reactions to the Honorable Mention List, Part 2
I wonder if anyone will have as low as an average vote as Stan Lane but be higher because on more lists? Maybe someone like Tito or Fuchi?

Reactions to the Honorable Mention List Part One
If I would have remembered to vote I would have thrown Genki in the 90s probably so I'm happy he got a vote. He was great in the 03 El Numero Uno and he always finds his way in the better DG multi man matches.

[2015-08-28-PWG-Battle of Los Angeles 2015: Day One] Jack Evans & Angelico vs. Rich Swann & Richochet
This doing the quick look only went under 20 minutes including comedy but was just never ending. It was just so many middling kind of high spots in a row with no end; I can't even describe why this match just annoyed me so much.

[2005-04-24-NOAH-Encountering Navigation] Kenta Kobashi & Go Shiozaki vs Genichiro Tenryu & Jun Akiyama
This match just clicked for me. I think this is going to be Top 20 or so for me. I guess it's the combo of the underdog story (kobashi cheering Go on) plus everything with Tenryu against Kobashi. It just worked pretty perfectly for me.
