It would only be valid if you could poll all the people (or at least a representative cross section of them) who paid for Wrestlemania XX and ask them "which was the best match on the show?". Any other method will be skewed.

Take here for example. Most of the people on this forum are marks for what we call workrate and would have went with either Benoit or Eddie's match as MOTN. But thats not a fair representation of the people who watched the show. I talked to a buddy of mine who watched the show, and his favorite part of the show was Undertaker's match. Now you might think thats insane (I know I did), but I'm sure a lot of people felt that way. Hell I'm sure a lot of people loved seeing Austin stun both Goldberg and Lesnar and therefore felt that was the best match. But on a forum like this, you'll never get a fair assessment of what the 'average' fans thinks about a show.

So just because 90% of the people on this forum feel one way about a match it doesn't mean squat, because like I said the people here are skewed in one direction. If there was an accurate way to get a fair opinion on matches I'd be willing to listen to the results, but I dont see how thats possible.
