I noticed there is no 1996 moty. Is this because you're waiting to review Rey vs Psychosis from Bash at the Beach?

That would be a fun challenger, but we have a different match slotted as our 1996 rep. It's not a contentious pick.

For 1970, the date is December 1, not February

Changed, thank you

I assume you guys are working on 1984 as well?
Also, if one were to find matches from unrepresented years such as the early 70's would it be fair to pass them along?

Absolutely, suggest away!

We definitely always accept recommendations for any year, whether we've done it or not. We love doing challenges , always down for new recs. Do it!

In case you change any matches in the future, you should probably slot them at the end of this masterpost as honorable mentions.

I took this great anonymous advice and have added links to all past champions and challengers.
