My favourite matches were Shibata/Naito, Shibata/Ibushi, Ishii/Honma, Nakamura/Honma, Ishii/Elgin and Nakamura/Tanahashi (though beware this one is LONG). Tanahashi/Ibushi, Ibushi/AJ and Nakamura/Okada are also very good and there's lots of people that like them more the matches I mentioned earlier. AJ/Tanahashi has also been pimped a lot but I haven't seen it yet.
The Misawa/Akiyama 2000 match is also something that doesn't conventionally get talked about as a perfect match but is one.
There's a bunch of great shoot style stuff. I mean you're gong to get one or two great matches at a UWF show. The proto shoot stuff from the 80s like Fujiwara vs Maeda is amazing as well.
I'm pretty familiar with 70s and 80s puro as well, although not to the extent that I am with 90s. Takada vs Koshinaka from the 80s is my favourite feud.
I am pretty much the zen master of 90s puro. All Japan, New Japan, WAR, UWF, UWFi, I got it all covered. I have some holes in shoot style (RINGS; PWFG) but I'm going to binge watch it once I feel like it because it's my favourite style. My favourite All Japan match is Akiyama/Kobashi 24.7.1998. It's very rewarding if you're familiar with how All Japan matches are usually structured because it plays up to that.
The 96 G1 match is the best but all Hashimoto/Choshu matches are great.
I don't watch One Piece because I enjoy it. I put it on hold once and gave it 3. But my OCD forces me to finish everything I start. And sometimes I just feel too shitty to watch something good or do something productive and I'd rather watch bad shounen than do nothing.
