Kenny Omega vs Konosuke Takeshita Is the Match of the Last Three Weeks

It's been a while since I posted my match of the week rankings so it's a super sized edition covering the 21 day period ended March 9th in this column. And the match of that three week period, and of the very best of the year to date, was the AEW International title between Konosuke Takeshita and Kenny Omega at Sunday's Revolution pay per view. 

It was an oustanding card with two matches that I had rated 5* or more with another three hitting the 4.5* level. But Kenny's Omega's third 5*+ match of the year so far topped the list of the 201 matches I watched over the time period of Feb 17-March 9. 

The shows I watched over that time frame included the following: IWR Armageddon (aired Feb 6), WWE RAW (Feb 17, 24 and March 3), ROH Global Wars (Feb 17), WWE NXT (Feb 18, 25 and March 4), OVR Rise (aired Feb 12), AEW Dynamite (Feb 19, 26 and March 5), ROH on Honor Club (Feb 20, 27 and March 6), TNA Impact (Feb 20, 27 and March 6), WWE Smackdown (Feb 21, 28 and March 7), AEW Collision (Feb 22, March 1 and 8), WWE Vengeance Day (Feb 25), NJPW FantasticaMania (Feb 27+28), WWE Elimination Chamber (March 1), wXw Dead End (Feb 22), NJPW Anniversary Show (March 6), AEW Revolution (March 9) and the New Japan Cup (March 8+9). 

Below is my top 30 with my personal start rating leading off each entry with Dave Meltzer's star rating, where available, and Cagematch rating included at the end.
