Chronology
This chronology is an attempt by me to chart my favourite matches throughout history.
Since the only criteria for inclusion in this chronology is that I really loved the match, there is quite an eclectic list of matches here. Some of them would be what could be generally termed as "Match of the Year" quality... and some are here simply because I really liked them for another reason... maybe they amused me, or maybe they left my jaw on the floor from the tremendous high spots, stiffness or outragous bumps... whatever the reason, though, I stand by every match on this list as being some of my favourite matches.
Given that this is a big task... and is really just something I'm doing for my own amusement, this is still a "work in progress" and I'm pretty sure there are still quite a few of my favourite matches which are missing. I'll add to the chronology as and when I remember or rewatch them.
If you don't see a match here that you really think is just 'out of this world' brilliant... well, sorry about that... but it's my list. Chances are I've either never seen the match you're thinking about, or I have seen it and didn't like it all that much. ;-)
Anyway... enjoy...
