Man, I watched WK10 again and I can't figure out what you guys like so much about that Ishii and Shibata match. I get that they beat the sh*t out of each other but that's where it ends for me. Just not my cup of tea I guess. AJ vs Nakamura is still the best thing I've seen so far this year. I thought Okada vs Tana, while not their best match ever, was better than most of you are giving it credit for too. Different strokes.
I really need to watch that Evolve tag match. Love me some Hero and I've been really slacking on following his stuff lately.

As things sit right now for me, Styles vs Nakamura is the only thing i can really put down so far. I enjoyed the Rumble this year, but booking Reigns to sit out really watered down the supppsed superhero character they so desperately want him to be. Bad booking like that keeps the Rumble off the list. I also have the kneejerk reaction to add Jericho vs Styles ,however i know that would be nothing more than me marking out when it happened simply due to the fact i never thought I'd see it. So, I'll keep it at Styles vs Nakamura for now.

Dean Ambrose v. Kevin Owens - Royal Rumble Sydal/Richochet v. ReDragon v. Young Bucks v. Rappongi Vice - Wrestle Kingdom 10 Styles v. Nakamura - Wrestle Kingdom 10 The Rumble
I'm not a fan of the young bucks in many matches and are not glad they won but that 4Way match was super solid.
But those are four I would put. That 4Way tag match is definitely the most solid tag match so far.

Sydal and Richochet obviously stole the show and it appears to have paid off seeing as the most recent New Japan show, thankfully. These two are great together

I didn't like either of the tag matches, especially since it's the same junior tag match each time out. However, I really liked Ricochet's singles work in NJPW.

I only saw one match that ricochet had in NJPW I don't remember what it was.But it's difficult to keep up with it since it's a challenge to find these matches online.

I didn't rate the junior tag all that much. It didn't break *** for me and I thought it was just like their other 2000 matches.

Just not my cup of tea I guess. AJ vs Nakamura is still the best thing I've seen so far this year. I thought Okada vs Tana, while not their best match ever, was better than most of you are giving it credit for too. Different strokes. I really need to watch that Evolve tag match. Love me some Hero and I've been really slacking on following his stuff lately. Shibata/Ishii made my roommate, who thinks anything to do with wrestling is silly, think that Japanese wrestling is amazing. That match is so much fun to watch and I would gladly show it to people who think that all wrestling just looks so fake because they were very convincing in their offence. That being said I don't think it was as balls out amazing as a lot of people said because I'm more of a fan of psychology and meaningful story in matches. NEVER Openweight title matches are chocked full of no-selling which can suck me out of it. I still rank it behind AJ/Nakamura and Tanahashi/Okada on that show. Those 3 matches reminded me of why I love pro wrestling though

Those 3 matches reminded me of why I love pro wrestling though Man, I don't get the love for Tanahashi/Okada. It was good, but easily their worst match ever. Okada seemed to be leading the way, which was a far cry from when Tanahashi would do so. It goes for 36 minutes simply because they felt like it needed to be long. You could seriously cut out the first half, maybe more of the match, and not miss much. Meanwhile, their WK9, Invasion Attack 2013 and King of Pro Wrestling 2013 matches are phenomenal from start to finish and everything means something.
