Definitely Rock v. Austin at WrestleMania 17. I can still hear Howard Finkel in my head introducing it...the crazy difference about then and today's booking is that Rock and Austin feuded on MULTIPLE occasions before that match and not once did it feel "overdone". It's almost like Ali v. Frazier. Today, things need to be booked to make sense again, not just because "its something to do".

Sticking with Ali matches as an analogy, i would say that Rock v. Hogan was Ali v. Foreman-like because the crowd/fans made the match way more emotional.
