At this point the process may call for a little revision and reassessment. I’ve got to make some time to re-watch my top 10 or some because I’m not completely comfortable with them. I think my number 1 is probably vastly being over rated. I’ve got 11 matches rated at 7/10 and I’m not even sure those are my top 11. I think I’ve short changed some matches because many are kept between 5-8 minutes. I think most matches given the time (over ten, and at times 15 minutes) were pretty average by comparison. I think my leanings towards more time, progressive structure, and traditional styles have short changed some cruiserweight matches, in particular some Lucha matches. I just think there’s a lot to look at again, and I really wish I had the benefit of a think tank like the Mid South and Memphis sets. I’m also finding it harder to remove myself from some feelings as I lived through every match of this set live, unlike the prior sets. Overall, I’m doing the best I can, and I’m enjoying the process.
