Top Matches of 2015

[Woof]

Over on Twitter earlier today Charles sent up a flare looking for a list of the best matches of 2015, so I thought I'd throw one up here.

 

I've been working on cobbling together a spreadsheet of the "greatest matches of all time", which is basically just a documented list of any match that got significant praise at some point in time. It's extensive, but not all-inclusive. For instance, for the 2015 stuff below I have included any match that was nominated on the Voices Of Wrestling Match Of The Month columns they've been posting; any match that received a 4 or better star rating on any online recap I may have read; and anything that I may have personally seen and really enjoyed. I try to cross-reference as many ratings as I can find, but the idea is once it's on the list it's on the list, even if only one person ever had it as a recommendation. As a result a lot of the stuff on here can range well below 4 stars in the general consensus.

I'll try to update it with November's matches in the next week or so and ditto with December once that's come and gone. If anybody can think of a match that has been left out, feel free to let me know and I'll try and add it to the list when I update. Thanks.

 

(FYI: Dates are live as opposed to "aired", at least to the best of my knowledge. Corrections welcome.)

 

(matches in bold received at least 1 vote of 4.5 stars or better in my research)

[tholzerman]

Caprice Coleman vs. Jason Collins, Scenic City Invitational Night One 8/7

ACH vs. Lance Hoyt vs. Ricky Starks, Inspire Pro Wrestling Undeniable 2/15

[Woof]

Quick update with tholzerman's recommendations as well as a few other for the Scenic City Invitational (finally got off my ass and tracked down some reviews) and a couple more Evolve matches from over the summer. Also bolded all matches that got at least one 4.5 star rating, just so they pop a little more for those just skimming the list.

[Timbo Slice]

This is a hell of a resource right here.

[goc]

Seems like this would be a better fit for the main pro wrestling folder since I'm guessing a lot of people who might have non-WWE matches to add would just assume this is for WWE only.

[Woof]

Yeah, in my haste to get it up I dumped it in the wrong folder by accident. If somebody in power wants to move it, feel free.

[Woof]

Added another shit ton of matches today, mostly based on reviews found over at phoenixplexreview.net that cover a lot of Japan and US indies. My conclusion: there's too much wrestling out there.

[Woof]

Updated with November's matches.

[Childs]

For the Tenryu show, the real match to recommend is Fujiwara/Takayama vs. Murakami/Suzuki. As a Tenryu fan, I found the main event vs. Okada painful to watch, though it should be on there as a notable match.

[Superstar Sleeze]

Awesome resource. Thanks so much.

 

Right now it is between Lesnar/Reigns(/Rollins), Sasha/Becky and Tanahashi/Ibushi, but I have a ton of NJPW to catch up on.

[spudz25]

Thanks for putting this up! Great reference!

[Dylan Waco]

Can't do this for a few days, but if people are interested I could put up a "Best of the Southern Indies" post.

[shoe]

Can't do this for a few days, but if people are interested I could put up a "Best of the Southern Indies" post.

Sounds like fun.

[Woof]

Can't do this for a few days, but if people are interested I could put up a "Best of the Southern Indies" post.

 

I'd definitely be interested. They don't get much coverage net-wise, so it's hard to know what we're missing.

[Stiva]

Can't do this for a few days, but if people are interested I could put up a "Best of the Southern Indies" post.

 

That'd be great. I don't get a ton of days off at Christmas but I'll gladly spend one of them watching this stuff.

[Woof]

Finally got around to adding the December matches, as well as a few other random additions for the rest of the year.
