Opinion: These lists can be fascinating as no one is going to agree on every match. You can have some great discussions with other fans who are wondering just what kind of matches impressed them the most. WWE has a lot to pick from here and they went with a large variety, especially with the matches from places like NXT UK. If nothing else, it is nice to see shows getting the additional exposure, as you might have either forgotten them or never seen them in the first place.
