Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore used to work at a steakhouse around here called, "Texas Roadhouse." He also used to substitute teach at his old high school, Providence. In the most enjoyable of these stories (for me anyway) He also stole one of my best friends girlfriend a few years back. She's the blonde that can be seen on Badd Blood 2003 when, I believe, Randy Orton does some small angle with her and Eugene.

Here's the 2002 List. There may be a few Japan TV matches missing but will add them while going through 2003, which will be up sometime in February.

I'm just going through my yearly WON sets and extracting the ratings. I don't have DVD sets of the matches just random matches here and there, those being mainly WWE. My intentions are to *eventually* make comps (or buy yours) using this list as a reference. After this is done, I'm thinking of doing the 80's as well.

Sorry for lacking on the updates. I just moved into a new house and it and work have taken up a lot of time. I have 2002 99.5% complete. I need to add a few finishing touches and I'll be posting, probably this weekend. 2003 should be finished by the end of January or early February.

I would like access to both forums as well. Thanks.

Hello, everyone. I just finished up the year 2001 and have decided to consolidate the remaining years I plan on completing into this one post to keep from having 8 separate posts. This way it will be easier to reference/manage. This list follows the same format as the 2000 Post Enjoy! 2001 Match of the Year Results 2001 WON AWARDS (MATCHES FROM 12/1/00 - 12/31/00 VOTED IN ARE DISPLAYED AS 'N/A' - For those see '2000' Results) 1.

Hello everyone. This is my first post and so I tried to make it an interesting one. I, like most of us here, have fell victim to the obsessive hobby of trying to find THE best matches of a certain promotion, year, decade, all-time, etc. I recently undertook the project of dissecting each year between 2000 - present in hopes of making definitive lists to be used as a reference. I recently completed 2000 and am currently working on 2001. I worked out a method for doing this and would enjoy any feedback on making it better. First, I listed the results for "Match of the Year" as voted by the readers of the WON. Second, I went through the entire year of the WON and extracted every match rated by Dave or reported by readers as being at least 3 and 1/4 stars. The reason for going so low is because I know not everyone agrees with Meltzer's ratings, that is to say a match he rates *** 1/4 could be considered by another person to be **** or better but a match he rates, say for instance, **3/4 most likely wouldn't be viewed by anyone as a potential MOTY in a promotion or overall. I realize this could be viewed as flawed logic by some but I would think that Dave has enough value placed on his judgment, even by his harshest critics, to be able to use his ratings as a general guideline. After doing this, I have less and less confidence in the usefulness of the star system beyond as a way to benchmark matches temporarily on ones way to compiling lists like these. After completing those tasks I separated the matches month-by-month and also by promotion (for the latter, I listed them in order from highest ranked to lowest ranked.) My plan now is to compile the footage I do not have for the year and then watch the matches and determine my own lists and hopefully compare it to other posters. The one problem with using the WON as a guideline for matches is that it is heavily skewed to the big promotions. With few exceptions, Joshi, Mexico, Japanese/American Independents, and others are grossly under represented. That is another area where I hope by posting my findings will be useful by allowing others to recommend matches that were overlooked by Meltzer. I'm also flirting with the idea of cross referencing Dave's ratings with the Torch but realize it would only be useful for the American companies but like the idea of a second *professional* opinion. Enough with the rambling. Below is the explanation of the various symbols I use in my listings as well as the syntax of each match listed. I will then post the 2000 portion of this project but may have to split it up due to its size. i.) If a match is preceded by a (---) it means that I couldn't find either the city it took place in, a wrestlers complete name or the exact day the match aired on TV or, more than likely, the date it took place. ii.) If a match took place the same day it aired on TV -usually a Japanese occurrence- then TV will be in brackets like so [TV] iii.) If a match listing ends in (?AVAIL?) then it indicates the match may not be available on tape as it was a live report. iv.) I listed matches even if it was indicated that it didn't air complete on television -again, usually a Japanese occurrence- due to the fact you never know if it will show up down the road in complete form.
