Well, why don't you tell us what you think the best matches were? No point in just listing the choices of RF...it'd be more interesting to see your choices.

[Guest Sandman9000]

Not only that, there is nothing past June on either or those lists.

 

 

Which doesn't surprise, me, since RF would probably have to start in June to finish a Best of 2002 tape set before 2k3.

If your trying to ask for peoples advice on the best matches of 2002 then I would add:

 

* Storm Vs Fleisch from BOTB 2

* Doug Williams Vs Jerry Lynn from FWA: British Uprising

* AJ Styles Vs Jody Fleisch from FWA: Seasons Beatings

 

Other than that, I would recommend you get some of the TNA and ROH tapes, as they produced some outstanding matches last year, that you HAVE to see.

 

If your on a tight budget, Im still raving about Lynn/Psicosis/Styles/Ki from TNA # 2 (its a good intro to the x division as well). So get that.

 

The first 2 ROH's are awesome as well.

 

If your based in England, then check out the FWA , they had an outstanding year last year.
