WWE recently posted a list of what it described as '100 Matches To See Before You Die' on its website, and within it are some of the greatest matches in the history of the company (alongside classics from WCW, ECW and more).

It's a passable list, even if for obvious reasons nothing from New or All Japan Pro Wrestling is on there. Perhaps '100 Matches We Own The Rights To To See Before You Die' would have been a more appropriate title.

Five star classics such as Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin's submission battle at WrestleMania 13 sit alongside colossal moments such as the end of The Undertaker's Streak at WrestleMania XXX and Hogan slamming Andre 27 years earlier. Any list that includes 100 entries is going to feature some obscure classics also, and this list does not disappoint, with Dean Malenko vs. Scotty 2 Hotty and Bret Hart vs. The 1-2-3 Kid among them.

Not every unheralded gem warrants such a lofty designation, however...

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
