| Basically the opposite of the "top matches you wanted to win but lost" thread. What are the top five matches you wanted to win that you did end up winning? The criteria being which victories were most gratifying, not necessarily the same as which match had the highest stakes. For me:
1. Dynasty Extreme Elimination Chamber 2012 2. 40-man Grand Rampage, 2016 3. House of Glass Tag Team Glass Gauntlet Match, 2015 4. Vs. Chris Hessian in the 2012 Gold Rush Tournament finals on Voltage 5. "GOAT Circle" Fatal Four-Way (HBB vs Jaywalker vs DDD vs Impact) on the "EAW Finale" in 2013 |

| Women's World Championship match, vs. Cameron Ella Ava vs. Cailin Dillon at PFP X. It was a long climb back up there from the year prior and it was super rewarding to get my PFP moment after all that build at our biggest FPV ever. Vixens Championship match, vs. HBG vs. Eris LeCava at Triple Threat 2016. I remember pretty vividly being super surprised when it was announced at GR that I was eventually getting my title shot in the main event of Triple Threat. I couldn't believe I was being trusted with something like that, given that I hadn't even been here a year by that time. I had talented opponents who made me work for that eventual win and it was the first time the women got to do something like that. Couldn't have asked for better circumstances for my first title win. Empress of Elite finals, vs. Madison Kaline on the September 22, 2015 episode of Battleground. Again, something else I was incredibly shocked that I was being trusted with, at the time. I'd been here like two months and kinda got thrown into the deep end of the pool from day one. This match was basically my springboard and I'm always gonna look back on it fondly. Women's World Championship match, vs. Stephanie Matsuda at Bloodletter 2017. Cloud and I had waited a looooong time for a proper singles match. Having it be for the belt was just icing on the cake. Main eventing Empire's first FPV is a pretty special honor and I'm glad I got to share it with Cloud. Vixens Championship #1 Contender's match, vs. Cameron Ella Ava on the April 9, 2016 episode of Showdown/Young Lions Cup match, vs. Lucas Johnson at the 2016 Draft Show. I cheated and did a tie for fifth bc I couldn't choose and these were rewarding for different reasons. My rivalry with Cam wasn't something I'd expected to happen at the time (we were both in different feuds that wound up imploding at Reasonable Doubt 2016, y'all remember). Not to mention, our match was the first women's match to main event Showdown in like 8 years? With the YLC, coming fresh off losing at PFP and becoming the first woman to hold it 6 days later was a cool feeling. Only thing that would've made it better was having an opponent that actually stood a chance. |

| This was interesting seeing as I didn't have a ton of high-profile matches in my short time here.
1) CITV at PFP 9. I mean, yeah.
2) Debut match against Heart Break Boy at Redemption.
3) My first round KOE qualifier against Zach Genesis. I'd never met him before, but there was something about him that rubbed me the wrong way. It wasn't really anything, just a feeling on my part.
4) Showdown match against Cam. Old opponent from past efeds.
5) Battleground match against Lucas Johnson/whatever he was going as at the time. He actually did rub me the wrong way. |

| 1. vs Cleopatra at Battleground: SXSW (If I didn't win I was going to be her slave! This was also 1 of 2 of Cleo's retirement matches lol) 2. The Specialist Rampage at Grand Rampage '16 (My first and only title win) 3. The $100,000 six-pack challenge on Battleground (Okay, I won this with Aria and He-who-shall-not-be-named, but that was a fun week and match! Plus I got to pin SK!) 4. vs Sheridan Muller at EOE '17 (After two losses to her, I needed to win this match. I think I put my all into promoing that week) 5. Openweight Qualifying match at Manifest Desitny (I didn't know if I was going to win this match, but I did. Thank. God.) |

| 1. Specialist Scramble (This is the first time that my work has been finally paid off. I spend an entire week focusing on this match and never stop promoing. Too bad after this, I suck at defending it and eeh... the rest is a terrible history)
2. vs. Stephanie Matsuda/Heart Break Gal - Back-to-back Handicap (This is just an ordinary Thursday for some others but this match is really meaningful to me.)
3. vs. High Rollerz - Tag Team Championships Contender match (I know, it's impossible to beat them for the title and we might be having a hard time facing them, but pinning THE High Rollerz are such a bless for me. This jobber.... can win a fight against arguably THE best tag team EAW has today)
....uhh, that's it. I can't even make it to top 5 lmao |
