CV6, in all honesty, I'd rather go through a thin aluminum ladder than a gimmick table you can "put a finger through" because the table wouldn't break my fall at all and it'd hurt much worse.

Simon, I love the oriental stuff.

right, foreign = bad, got it. And no WJCP, as long as my ratio stays good, I'm cool.

25. CIMA/Susumu Yokosuka/Ryo Saito vs SHINGO/BxB Hulk/Cyber Kong, Dragon Gate (May 10th)
-Dragon Gate with story = greatness, even if is done by non-Americans. Intergenerational hate between the two teams, combined with SHINGO breaking out of his mentor CIMA's shadow, as well as SHINGO and BxB Hulk being rivals since wrestling school and at points manning each other up to continue on in the match.

24. John Cena vs Umaga, WWE Royal Rumble (January 28th)
-Amazing amazing brawl that first planted the seed in my head that maybe Cena is more than just alright, maybe he's one of the best in the world. This ruled at showing that old school booking can still work today, despite what people say. The unbeatable savage monster vs the reigning champion who struggles to work around the unbeatable monster. The final visual of Cena drenching blood as he strangles Umaga is one of those timeless images for me.

23. The Colony/Hallowicked vs Eddie Kingston/Joker/Ruckus/Sabian, CHIKARA Time Will Prove Everything (March 24th)
-This is like a CHIKARA version of #25, with BLKOUT turning heel over the course of the match by just being total dicks to these supposed comedy character stable of ants, except, and here's the catch, the ants turn out to be really fucking good, and they bring a unsuspected amount of fight here.

22. John Cena vs Randy Orton, WWE Summerslam (August 26th)
-This is so so much better than it gets credit for being. This is the living personification of current WWE Main Event Style, and it hits it out of the park, and the story is a perfect dichotomy of the two men and their positions. Cena isn't as naturally gifted as Orton, and Orton comes in with the advantage. Think of Cenas injured head as being Orton's family history. Except, instea dof pushing the advantage far enough to win the match and the title, every time he gets there, he doesn't press the advantage, and Cena is able to push through and come back. Once Cena kicks out of the RKO though, Orton is pretty much fucked because he was too arrogant. Also, this had a AMAZING false finish with Cena barely blocking The Punt.

21. Team FIST vs Up in Smoke, CHIKARA Rey De Voladores (April22nd)
-The classic archetype of newcomers vs established stars, and viciousness vs pluckiness, but with the added drama of a main event 2/3 falls match. Hey Briscoes, this is how you do it right. FIST beat you in a tag match, and they own your anuses at building a hot 2/3 falls match.

Simon, don't you have to upload stuff yourself on those to keep membership?

With pwt you just have to keep the ones you download active for awhile to keep a good ratio, I am not too sure about the others.

And I enjoy the oriental stuff as well.

If anyone can accurately guess my Top 5 in order, then they win something, like one free pass to insult Chikara or say something retardedly ignorant about puro without me coming on and being a dick about how stupid they are. PM me your guesses.

Well, for WWE shit, only that and Punker/Morrison on ECW in Sept. are left. So it's between a technically amazing match with a great story or a match with a great story that had me hooked emotionally.

You'll just have to find out, won't you?

20. Eddie Kingston vs Chris Hero, CZW Out With The Old, In With The New (April 7th)
-As usual, Kingston and Hero bring their magic to produce this epic kind of match and feel that only a handful on the indies can make happen. The only problem was that the ending fell a bit flat for me personally. That should not discredit their 3+ year running feud where both men are no longer a face nor a heel in their match because of how amazing the story has become, despire being so simple.

19. Chris Hero vs Equinox, CHIKARA Sordid Perils of Everyday Existence (November 17th)
-This is a shining example of Hero's greatness. Equinox is a capable worker. He's not very good, nor does he posess any great qualities. He doesn't botch as much as he used to, so that's an improvement. Hero guided to him to a heated and AMAZING drama-filled main event Mask vs Hair match, and there's no doubt that the stiulation added so so much to what they did here. Hero made Equinox look like ten million bucks here, and ending was unreal, and put over even more by Quack on commentary and Hero pointing at him after the finish.

18. Bryan Danielson vs Takeshi Morishima, ROH GBH6 Night 2 (November 3rd)
-YES. This was so damn great. Danielson logically should want to kill Morishima for trying to blind him in their rematch, and he does, and despite the size difference, never stops trying to destroy Morishima, and shit gets brutal and violent and full of hate and drama in this one.

17. Kel Steenerico vs QuackSaw, ROH Domination (June 9th)
-Yeah, I bet nobody saw this one getting this high. This is EXACTLY what I mean when I say that it wouldn't hurt the Briscoes at all to do a clean formula tag once and a while. This was a shade over 15 minutes, and it got everyone over. Jigsaw looked like a great undercard face climbing the ladder, Quack looked like a technical master, and Steenerico looked like an amazing amazing tag team. Great use of formula without going overboard, and the final few moments were just unreal.

16. Susumu Yokosuka/Dragon Kid/Ryo Saito vs Speed Muscle/Magnitude Kishiwada vs SHINGO/BxB Hulk/Cyber Kong, Dragon Gate (June 5th)
-There's a rule with DG matches. If there's a trios match, it should be awesome. If there's more than 2 teams in a trios match, it becomes fucking incredible and a festival of story and spots with a mindblowing pace and fantastic nearfalls. Think of the DG 6 man from the ROH WM weekend in 2006, and then realize that this is like 10x better, coming from someone who watches DG all the time.

15. Bryan Danielson vs Nigel McGuinness, ROH Driven (June 9th)
-Whoo. Probably their 2nd or 3rd best match, and it had a rather unique feel. It was an awesome intense wrestling match with blood and drama and s great story, but at points it felt like a really high-end house show version of the Unified and Generation Now matches combined.

14. John Cena vs Shawn Michaels, WWE Raw (April 23rd)
-And this proved to me once and for all that Cena is one of the best wrestlers in the world. Amazing amazing technical match, that literally came out of nowhere, as the spolerZ had this at around 20 minutes, because British people can't count. I don't need ti review, because basically everyone's seen it.

13. Yuji Nagata vs Hiroshi Tanahashi, NJPW (April 13th)
-Striking vs highflying, power vs speed, and veteran vs new star all in one. Also, it was fucking stiff and it's a shame that the turning point for Tanahashi as a champion came right as he lost the title. The ending was also SO SO SO well done with Tanahashi finally manning up after being a bitch for a lot of his reign, but it was too little too late, which set the stage perfectly for Tanahashi to come back, get confidence, and man up against Nagata.

12. Jimmy Jacobs vs Colt Cabana, ROH 5YF: Chicago (February 24th)
-I'm so glad this got like no hype, because it completely blew me away. Crazy violent brawl just like I like em, and the story and everything was so well done with Cabana not being entirely too serious at points to start until Jimmy went for it and just started killing Colt. Plus...that fucking bump. Good god, that fucking bump. Jimmy Jacobs has had like 3 AWESOME Back Senton spots this year.

11. Nigel McGuinness vs Samoa Joe, ROH 5YF Liverpool (March 3rd)
-This has a Nigel Restart spot, so you know it's good, and when you mix in the Nigel in England factor, you get a fucking gem. Nigel isn't just standing up for NOAH, but for himself after Joe bitched him out in January as he comes off pinning Joe in a tag match, so now Jow has no choice but to take him as a threat, and actually kilsl Nigel before the really really awesome ending.

At this point, all of these matches are ****3/4.

NUMBER TEN: Eddie Kingston vs. Tim Donst, CHIKARA Showdown in CrisisLand (July 22nd)
This is why Kingston ruled in a nutshell, in 2 matches. Firstly, we have this, where his intensity and level of violence makes Tim Donst into a fucking star in CHIKARA for getting up here on his own power at points, and then King makes him look really good, but not too good, on his comebacks before promptly killing him. Honestly, this had no business in my top 10, let alone 50, or 100, or 500, but because of the intensity and crowd response, it fucking ruled.

NUMBER NINE. NUMBER NINE. NUMBER NINE: Chris Hero vs Eddie Kingston, IWA-MS TPI 2007 Night 2 (September 29th)
Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit was this a tremendous fucking brawl. Probably the best Kingston match ever, due to the sheer level of brutality, violence, and hatred that this had. Kingston brawls don't have a lot of cool spots, and mostly striking and crowd violence, so when this did have lots of awesome spots (Hero sitting down on a chair ove rKingston's back in a laziness induced Boston Crab, a Cravate Breaker using a chair, Hero throowing a chair from the crowd into the ring and perfectly hitting Kingston in the temple, and of course the ending), but what put it over the top was the trash talking in between spots so that it didn't feel like they were killing time between stuff.

NUMBER EIGHT: Bryan Danielson vs Jimmy Jacobs, ROH Unscripted III (December 1st)
This night was really a blessing in disguise, as the Trios Tourney would have been a better show, but I don't think any match on this would have been this good. This is mostly story based, with the announcers not feeding you the story, which is why a lot of ROH fans didn't love it, and also that to them, punching and kicking = bad, and thus Jacobs sucks. The story was that Danielson treated this like a game, and went after Lacey at ringside, which woke Jimmy up and he fatally wounded Danielson as far as the match is concerned, and killed himself to press the advantage. The real story was that this revealed that deep down, Jimym isn't a revolutionary, but an emo kid and the same guy he was when he loved Lacey.

NUMBER SEVEN: Bryan Danielson vs El Generico, PWG Giant Sized Annual #4 (July 29th)
Generico was on fire this weekend, and this was his 6th match in 3 days, and he was completely exhausted, but he had to defend his honor when Danielson called him a coward, and this was an emotional rollercoaster. Honestly, this match was made from a ****1/4-****1/2 match into what it is because of the crowd and the drama involved here.

NUMBER SIX: The Briscoes vs Kel Steenerico, ROH Death Before Dishonor V Night One (August 10th)
This is everything I want in a brawl. Copious amounts of hate, awesome fucking spots, crowd brawling, great intensity, awesome crowd response, and more awesome spots. To list all the spots would take a while, but know that they rule, and a chair variant on the SCS/Briscoes 4-man knockdown spot was so so so great. It was like the Man Up match, but with more emotion.
