After watching everything on the ballot for 2003, these 14 matches make it to the next phase. (Chronological Order)

 

Ki vs Styles, Zero1 1/5/2003
Misawa vs Kobashi, NOAH 3/1/2003
Kanemoto vs AKIRA, New Japan 3/29/2003
Kobashi vs Honda, NOAH 4/13/2003

Magnum Tokyo vs Milano Collection AT, Toryumon 12/16/2003
Takaiwa & Hoshikawa vs Togo & Hidaka, Zero1 12/26/2003

 

It was hard to narrow down a smaller list for 2003. I'm not sure that is because of the quality or because I'm severely burnt out in watching Japanese wrestling at this point. My goal was to get my first draft for 2000-2004 by the end of June and I'd be on pace for the 12/31 deadline. As it is, I may have to resort to watching only bold and italic matches for the remaining years.

 

Time to take a break.

I loved, loved Kobashi/Ogawa. I am surprised it didn't make the cut for you. Other than that I agree with your assessment. You seem a little higher on KENTAFuji than I am, but they do bust a barnburner next year against Misawa/Ogawa. 2003 was the best year since the year 2000 even if it was just one promotion doing all the heavy lifting.
