Lists

Everyone loves a list right? Especially a Match of the Year list. Since I just finished watching Final Gate 2009 I figure now is as good a time as any to start posting Match of the Year lists. Dragon Gate and DGUSA will be kept separate. Though I review Dragon Gate wrestlers’ involvement in other companies those matches will not be chronicled in these lists (sorry Mochizuki vs. Nakajima from Kensuke Office and DDG2 main event). Feel free to leave a comment if you agree or disagree.
