The Definitive Observer Star Ratings List (and a bunch more)

[Mokujin Scott]

Here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BHbVIIaR0yY4AIQJ5HsZTnhqQFpLcq6Cct5j9FcqU8I/edit?usp=sharing

It became a massive pain in the ass to post and update the list on the board due to weird glitches, so I've made a shareable Google Doc which has all of the following:
- Every WON ****+ rated match ever, updated weekly
- Every DVDVR Best of the '80s List
- Every DVDVR Best of the '90s List
- Every DVDVR Puro MOTY List, 2000-2012
- Every VOW MOTY List, 2012-present
- Every Alan4L MOTY List, 2007-present
- The Ditch Best AJPW of the '90s List
- Notable '00s Matches that were missed

Between all of that, it's basically a list of every good wrestling match ever, 1980 onward.

I appreciate your effort on this. This overlaps with something I'm working on right now really nicely. More details very soon.

Oh, it usually gets overlooked on these lists, I think because Dave wrote it out as "four stars" in the issue, but he gave the Flair/Arn/Tully vs Sting/Luger/Windham match from the first episode of NWA Main Event (04-03-88) ****.

Oh, very cool. Shoot me a message if you need a hand with anything.

Thanks, resources like these are always much appreciated.  Nothing like one-stop shopping for this kind of info.

Some missing ones:

Satanico/Pirata Morgan/MS-1 vs Pierroth Jr./Jaque Mate/Masakre **** (CMLL February 21 1992)
El Dandy vs Negro Casas **** (CMLL July 3 1992)
Emilio Charles Jr./Negro Casas/Bestia Salvaje vs Atlantis/Lizmark/Ultimo Dragon **** (CMLL July 31 1992)
Negro Casas vs Ultimo Dragon **** (CMLL August 28 1992)
Negro Casas vs Ultimo Dragon **** (CMLL March 26 1993)
Atlantis/Dandy/Chris Jericho vs Mano Negra/Javier Cruz/Norman Smiley **** (CMLL July 9 1993)
Negro Casas vs La Fiera ****1/4 (CMLL October 1 1993)
Blue Panther vs El Mariachi ****1/2 (AAA October 30 1994)
Konnan/Louie Spicolli vs Eddy Guerrero/Art Barr ****1/2 (AAA November 1 1994)
Felino vs Pantera **** (CMLL December 27 1994)

These are all from the Observer although I don't know if they're all Meltzer's ratings (you can tell from his writeup of the Casas vs Fiera match that he didn't actually see it for instance). There might be others missing, I mostly just went looking to confirm ratings for matches I was pretty sure got four stars.

This is a great resource.

Thanks, updated!

[Tenese Sarwieh]

Appreciate your hard work on this good sir, planning on watching these and reviewing them.

[Mokujin Scott]

Update: It was bugging me that there wasn't much representation for '00s American non-WWE, so I added a big list of notable indy matches 2000-2009.
