This list needs some MISAWA!



Basically any combination of Misawa/Kobashi/Taue/Kawada/Akiyama in 90s All Japan is an absolute master class on pro wrestling done right.

I plan to checking out some Misawa vs Vader matches soon and definitely will look at Kobashi vs Misawa

Hulk Hogan vs. The Great Muta

This one deserves to make the list for sure. That lariat at 11:00 minute mark is so freaking cool, at least from a tv viewer point of view. It looks cool on TV. It's also one of Hogan's best matches, at least top 5 for me.
