2016 was
here.
Every match I've ever rated 5 stars is
here.
Every WWF/E 4 1/4+ match I've ever rated is
here.
Each year I look to record every 4 star match and up I see.
You'll see 3 lists. Every 4 1/2+ match, the best 4 star WWE matches of the year, and then every other 4 star match, those will be unranked, just listed as I see them. The 2017 wrestling year starts in December, 2016.
