10. Mankind vs. The Undertaker (June 28, 1998)

Regardless of what kind of fan one is, I would think that anybody who watched this live would have to include it on their list.

9. EMLL Japan Battle Royal (August 16, 1997)

The single biggest consecutive dive sequence in human history. Any red-blooded lucha fan would mark out for this.

8. Great Sasuke & Sato & Shiryu vs. Super Delphin & Gran Naniwa & Jinsei Shinzaki (November 20, 1994 - All Japan Women Tokyo Dome Show)

I seem to be somewhat alone in marking out for this match, as I've rarely seen anybody else list it as one of their favorite Michinoku Pro matches. I thought it was a great mix of old lucha comedy spots, with a few new ones mixed in, smooth, crisp exchanges, and great highspots.

7. Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Psicosis (July 7, 1996)

This was their first-ever WCW match and they pretty much served up the wrestling equivalent of a perfect game.

6. Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Psicosis (December 13, 1995)

See above, but replace WCW with Japan.

5. Taka Michinoku & Shiryu & Dick Togo & Mens Teoh & Sho Funaki vs. Super Delphin & Gran Naniwa & Gran Hamada & Tiger Mask IV & Masato Yakushiji (October 10, 1996)

Just an awesome match.

4. Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Juventud Guerrera (??? in Tijuana)

This was from a Bob Barnett hand-held. Incredible match with tremendous heat.

3. Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Ultimo Dragon (November 24, 1996)

Probably Misterio's most under-rated match. Great psychology, pacing, and highspots. Very good heat from an American crowd, too.

2. Venum & Super Nova & Ludxor & Discovery vs. Histeria & El Mosco & Mach I & El Picudo (February 28, 1997)

This series contained perhaps the greatest series of spotfests of all time.

1. Venum & Super Nova & Ludxor & Discovery vs. Histeria & El Mosco & Mach I & Maniaco (April 5, 1997)

See above.
