BEST OF JAPAN 2000-2009 MASTER LIST

So Ditch threw together a big giant Best Puro of the 2000s ballot with over 300 matches. I figured I could start watching them (with no realistic intention of getting to all of them any time soon) and keep a running ranking of my own. Phil will occasionally chime in with his thoughts. Project seemed like a fun way to revisit a bunch of matches from my late teens, when I was really getting hooked on all foreign wrestling. Some of these matches I've seen a bunch over the last decade plus, others I haven't seen since the year they happened, a few I've never seen at all. Should be a fun trip.
