Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Both of these matches kick rear end but I have to give the nod to Hayter/Shida.

I have rated over 5000 matches on Cagematch. MAA is currently at 11,711, with 2592 of them (22.1%) as 10s. For comparison, 3% of my match ratings are 10s..

And I felt a bit generous having 4% of matches as 10s.

(The most generous 10 compared to the inmates I've given was Superkliq vs. Christian and Jurassic Express; the least generous goose-egg was Cody vs. Roman, thanks a lot Solo Sikoa :mad:.)

WALTER vs Dragunov

FTR vs Briscoes (at 2:05:40)

I thought the ROH match was going to be a slam dunk suince I remember it being pretty great but then watched the NXT match and was blown away. By far my favourite match between these two guys and more than likely my favourite match ever from the WWE umbrella, this felt raw in a way i've not felt since the Nakajima vs Kitamiya cage match from NOAH. There's no way it's making it through but this is a match i'll be thinking about for years, incredible stuff

Walter/Ilja was an absolute banger and received universal praise when it first happened. It's a shame it'll get swept aside in this forum's anti-WWE sentiment because it truly deserves to be among the absolute best matches in recent history.

It really just got a raw draw. I'd vote it over so many matches but Briscoes/FTR...that's tough.

That said I thought this was the Dog Collar Match and it's not so maybe it has a chance. I gotta rewatch.

I forgot this thread exist and found it in time to vote for a WWE match. Didn't expect that but hey, Walter/Ilja is a match that never gets old. Just the perfect dance partners.

It's mostly because its hard for me to decide where my vote goes. Walter/Dragunov was an incredible show of brutality, Go/Fujita was a fascinating example of a match that could have only been done during the pandemic period, and achieved a level of tension relative to the effort put in rarely seen. Both are great for very different reasons
