June 4, 201411 yr comment_5605737 I would put the Misawa/Kawada Carnival match over the Misawa/Kobashi carnival match. I would add the Hashimoto/Ogawa tag from the Dome show. Other than that, I would say that is a remarkably similar list to mine. I have Misawa/Akiyama number one in 2000, but Kobashi/Takayama is a closer second than I think most would have it. This is my top ten 2000 matches: 1. Mitsuharu Misawa vs Jun Akiyama - Budokan 02/27/00 2. All Japan Triple Crown Champion Kenta Kobashi vs Yoshihiro Takayama - All Japan 05/26/00 3. Toshiaki Kawada & Masa Fuchi vs Yuji Nagata & Takashi Iizuka - NJ PPV 12/14/00 4. Kenta Kobashi vs Jun Akiyama - Budokan 12/23/00 5. IWGP Jr Hvywt Tag Champs Ohtani & Takaiwa vs Kanemoto & Minoru - NJPW 6/25/00 6. IWGP Champion Kensuke Sasaki vs Toshiaki Kawada - 10/00 Tokyo Dome Non-Title 7. Shinya Hashimoto & Takashi Iizuka vs Naoya Ogawa & Kazunari Murkami - Tokyo Dome 01/04/00 8. Kenta Kobashi vs Takao Omori - Champions Carnival Final '00 9. Toshiaki Kawada & Genichiro Tenryu vs Stan Hansen & Taiyo Kea - Budokan 07/23/00 10. IWGP Heavyweight Champion Genichiro Tenryu vs Kensuke Sasaki - 01/04/00
