The Great Puroresu Matches
|
The following is a list of the worked matches eminating from Japan which I've rated ****1/2 to ***** since 1997. My goal is to eventually make this a definitive list, but in the mean time it's more of a starting point as I go about hunting down or rewatching the best of the best.
