The first thing that strikes me from this is i have to start watching some Japanese wrestling coz i have no point of reference.

The other is i refuse to believe that there has been no 5* matches in 12 years of WWE. Although i am a fan of all 4 WWE matches on the list there has been better matches.... However its good to see Bret getting some credit especially the Bret vs Owen match which is the best on that list IMO.

I looked at how they rate the matches

a rating is a largely subjective affair that may take into account the amount of action, as opposed to restholds ("workrate"), the difficulty and variety of moves used, the history of the workers and their feud, the development of an in-match storyline based on the wrestling moves and how they affect the wrestlers, and the overall reaction of the crowd.

I'm suprised that some of the Edge & Christian vs Hardyz vs Dudleys are not in there based on the variety of moves & crowd reaction coz i also believe that they sold their injuries brilliant in that match.

The HBK vs Taker match at Mania this year must have been a close run thing too. And how Bret Hart vs Bulldog at Summerslam isnt a 5* match i'll never know.

The Joe vs AJ vs Daniels is a classic. But no ECW matches? RVD vs Jerry Lynn!!!!!!!
This is how it works, You're young until you're not
You love until you don't, You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry, You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe, Until their dying breath
