Retro Recommended Matches Roundup #1
Since I often go back and forth between modern and vintage wrestling, I figured it’d be a good idea to do a retro version of the Recommended Matches Roundup once in awhile. There’s no real theme to this first batch. Think of it as a sampler to get your feet wet while diving into older wrestling. Matches in bold are those I consider to be among the greatest of all-time.
