Google translate doesn't seem to be picking up exactly what he's going for. What are the ratings / categories?

This is neat. Always interesting to get the view of the native fan, especially in Japan.

Given the composition of the lists, it appears "good game" 好勝負 means good/very good matches, and "name game" 名勝負 means excellent ones.

To be honest, he doesn't seem to be that different from the people who browse these boards. He probably uses cubsfan's site too. Do you think that is representative of a typical japanese smark?

My Japanese isn't great but I think 名勝負 = famous matches rather than "excellent". But essentially...

名勝負 is mei shobu, which basically means "best match," though I believe it can also be used to describe historically famous bouts.

I don't know. I'd have to look for more people's blogs. He/she buys from Alfredo, which I thought was cool.

The All Japan list, especially the "name game" list, is pretty much the Usual Suspects through the 90s. If you took a look at Loss' rankings in the Yearbooks, the DVDVR 80s discussions/results, or the stuff I've pounded over the years, you're not going to find many if any surprises.

I came across this site some time ago. It's an interesting combination of "Meltzer consensus" and "PWO consensus", for lack of better terms. It's kind of neat to see a list that highly rates both Davey Richards vs. Eddie Edwards and El Dandy vs. Negro Casas.

It's his lucha ratings I like. Not a fan of lucha brawling at all. Sangre Chicana vs. MS-1 no more than average and the following week's trios terrible.
