*FIXED* The Definitive Observer Star Ratings List (and a bunch more)

It became a massive pain in the ass to post and update the list on the board due to weird glitches, so I've made a shareable Google Doc which has all of the following:
- Every WON ****+ rated match ever, updated weekly
- Every DVDVR Best of the '80s List
- Every DVDVR Best of the '90s List
- Every DVDVR Puro MOTY List, 2000-2012
- Every VOW MOTY List, 2012-present
- Every Alan4L MOTY List, 2007-present
- The Ditch Best AJPW of the '90s List
- Notable '00s Matches that were missed

Between all of that, it's basically a list of every good wrestling match ever, 1980 onward.

what I'm reading is that we need a DVDVR best of '00s poll or comp or discussion or something.

Cheers, @Mokujin Scott.

Be interesting that, @twiztor.

Update: It was bugging me that there wasn't much representation for '00s American non-WWE, so I added a big list of notable indy matches 2000-2009.

I have to say, I haven't done any writing about it, but I've stepped my classic wrestling watching up lately thanks to your updating of the list.  I probably need to do some of the writing that actually makes me money before I start writing about wrestling again, but I'm getting that itch.

There is plenty of SMW match I've never watched. Where could i find them?

DVDVR Best of the 20's. It wouldn't take very long.

I think the Bull Nakano vs Yumiko Hotta 1/23/91 cage match was never reviewed in the Observer.  This is a mistake, probably confused with the Hokuto match from 1/4/91

I would like to bring up the AJPW tag match from 9/30/90.   In the August 21, 1991 Observer,  it says " . The magazines in hyping the match continually bring up the 45 minute draw these two teams had at the Baba anniversary show last September (a five star match) ".  

 

Also appears on this list ---       https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle SquaredCircle/wiki/wonfivestaryear#wiki_wrestling_observer_newsletter_five-star_rated_matches
