Best of their series if you ask me.

That's the 2/3 falls match isn't it? if it is it's one of the best ever imo. Their other matches in the trilogy are great but that's the only one I would put at 5*. |

Finally got around to seeing Jumbo vs Tenryu '89 and I have to say, it's got to be in top 5 matches of all-time list. The crowd was awesome. Seeing them trying to argue with the ref after the near falls shows how emotionally drawn into the match they were. The counters both men performed were brilliant and shown how desperate they were to pick up the victory. Easily the best match of the 1980's and a serious contender to greatest match of all-time.

Indeed. It's their absolute best imo. I love everything about the match. I'm in the minority, but while WrestleWar was a GREAT match, I always preferred Chi-Town Rumble over it too. What more can you ask for in a series of matches though? Flat out unbelievable.

I really struggle to name a better American match than the 2/3 Falls Flair versus Steamboat match. I never was the biggest fan of the Chi-Town Rumble match though. |

Re: Your 5 Star Match Lists
It's insane. It really is. It's a 55 minute match and it literally goes by as if it is only 20. To have those guys go out there and showcase wrestling as an art form is awe inspiring.

Re: Your 5 Star Match Lists
The Clash match is the best US match ever, IMO (#2 overall).
The Wrestlewar and Chi-Town Rumble matches are both terrific as well, but Clash is just fucking amazing. They have two house show matches from the same day (3/17/89) that are right at the level of Wrestlewar and Chi-Town. Two matches that good in the same day. Crazy shit. And it's not like they wrestled the same match, either. Shit, the second match even has a spot that plays off the finish of the first one.

Re: Your 5 Star Match Lists
Got a new one.
PWG Steen Wolf
PWG World Championship - Ladder Match
Kevin Steen (c) vs El Generico
For a match to get the full 5 from me in 2011, you're going to have to leave me shaking and marking like a school child. Taking into factor the post-match stuff, this did just that. Steen and Generico have fantastic chemistry and they are so convincing that they actually hate each other. The best match from any indie promotion and I have ever seen and possibly the best ladder match too.

jesus fuck that's unbelievable.
Here are two more I've given 5 stars to:
Bryan Danielson vs Nigel McGuinness ~ ROH World Championship & ROH Pure Championship Unification ~ ROH Unified
Bryan Danielson vs KENTA ~ ROH World Championship ~ ROH Glory By Honor V Night Two
Ohhhhhhhhhh yes.
