The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels (No Holds Barred Match, WrestleMania XXVI, 3/28/10)

It took me a while to do anything but hate this match. Especially as an HBK fan, I just hated how everything felt like it was leading to an incredible, magic, defying the odds moment where HBK ends the streak. After the anger went away though, I had to see it for what it was and that's why it ends up in my top 50 favorite matches ever. HBK's last match kind of irks me as he showed that not only could he still go, but he went out as the absolute best in the business. I don't care how old he was, there was never a point in his career where it was "time to give it up and let the young guys take over." He went out putting most of the younger talent to shame in the ring and putting on a classic in maybe the biggest pressure situation of his career in the main event at WrestleMania, considering the bar he and Taker had set the year before.

Ric Flair, Sid Vicious, Larry Zbysko and Barry Windham vs Sting, Brian Pillman and The Steiner Brothers (WarGames Match, WCW WrestleWar, 2/24/91)

Sid is no master of logistics as is evident here. The ending still makes me cringe and I remember being generally concerned for Pillman when I watched this as a kid. A lot of blood and some of the funnest organized mayhem you'll ever see in a wrestling ring... or two.

Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon (WWF Intercontinental Title Ladder Match, WrestleMania X, 3/20/94)

Before we really hit the realm of "You ranked that too high"s, we've got one that I'm sure a lot of people will probably think is too low. The birth of the ladder match, still a great match to this day where ladder matches are not only commonplace but have changed drastically. The ladder was used to enhance the match as opposed as a crutch which was awesome to see. These two didn't need the gimmick but they took it and they made it iconic. A great, historic match... I just happen to prefer 47 others.

Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit vs Rey Mysterio and Edge (WWE Tag Team Title Match, WWE No Mercy, 10/20/02)

Holy shit was I into this match. To the point where I was actually really let down that it ended. The last few minutes were especially remarkable. The insane pace, the rabid crowd, the awesome reversals, the false finishes and my favorite 619 ever. One of the crowning gems of that fabled "Smackdown Six" era. Great match, unbelievable last five minutes or so.

Awesome match! This whole PPV was pretty spectacular, especially on Smackdown's side. I remember Edge said somewhere that he had a really high temperature going into that match and felt like he was going to throw up the entire time. Huge props for that.

Bret Hart vs Owen Hart (WWF Title Steel Cage Match, SummerSlam, 8/29/94)

I liked Owen... I just don't think I put him on as high of a level as others. And that's probably why this is another match that is ranked lower to me than it may be to others. Character-wise I didn't really buy into him at this point but he was still putting on some classic matches and this is one of his best. A match that got knocked from the main event by the infamous Undertaker vs Undertaker match, this was one of the best worked cage matches I've ever seen.

Ric Flair vs Mr. Perfect (Loser Leaves Town Match, WWF Raw, 1/25/93)

Flair's going away match before heading back to WCW. Like I said earlier, I really wanted so much for the Mr. Perfect face turn to turn into something bigger. As it stands though, this was the peak for me. A ton at stake and the little examples of "fighting extra hard" like the sequence where Hennig continued fighting to kick out of a pin while Flair's feet were on the ropes and Flair's turnbuckle flip followed by the immediate recovery and run to the other turnbuckle were awesome. And of course, Heenan on commentary was great as always. Two of the best of all time in a great, monumental match during the early days of Raw. Another awesome childhood memory. I can only imagine what a PPV crowd might have added to this.

Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho vs Steve Austin and Triple H (WWF Tag Team Title Match, WWF Raw, 5/21/01)

Arguably the best tag team match of the 2000's during the few year span where I think Benoit was being booked the best he'd ever been. Hot crowd and it was part of a streak of televised main events that were just off the charts. One of the few times where I didn't mind a bit of clusterfuck/mayhem at the end of a match. Triple H taking that Walls of Jericho on the table after tearing his quad is brutal to watch still.

#1WWFF, a question: how do you make this list? Are you making it up as you go along? Do you know exactly which match goes where? Maybe you have them split between 1-10, 11-20 etc and then arrange them?

TELL ME!!!

Watched this earlier, was truly awesome. 25 mins given for a tag match these days is unheard of.

Triple H vs Cactus Jack (WWF Title Hardcore Match, WWF Royal Rumble, 1/23/00)

The match that turned Triple H from a forced star into a legit superstar in my mind. This entire feud was everything right about putting over the future of your company and both guys took their individual goals and ran with them. Arguably the best hardcore match of the 2000s and a highlight of a feud that I grow to love more and more over time.

Kurt Angle vs Brock Lesnar (WWE Title Match, WrestleMania XIX, 3/30/03)

The second Lesnar-Angle match on my list might be higher if it held more significance over time looking at where the two men are just 8 years later. I don't take points away because of the botch at the end because I don't feel wrestling matches need to be aesthetically perfect. Some awkward landings make things feel more genuine. And in this case, jumping out of my seat after seeing a guy possibly break his neck only him to come back and win the match was a nice touch. These two were just brilliant together and while I felt going in that they didn't have the "WM main event" feel going, they pulled off one a stellar match. Not to mention the whole thing was in jeopardy up to a few days before because of Angle's condition. One of the more underrated WM main events of all time I feel. I could be wrong but I get the feeling most people are apathetic towards it.

Big fan of Angle-Lesnar at Mania. Personally, knowing what Angle is going through during this match makes it that much better for me, as did the botched shooting star. The spot was sick, probably better because it was botched than if he would've pulled it off successfully.

That Triple H/Cactus Jack match was billed as a 'street fight'.

God I remember this PPV with such fondness and markism. In the UK, this was probably the absolute peak of pro wrestling and the WWF. I remember this was already during the Attitude Era, which everyone was watching, but in the UK that RR PPV was free on Channel 4 or whatever... and I remember the next day at school (I was 13 at the time) EVERYONE was talking about it. And I mean EVERYONE. All the boys, the girls, even the teachers were all in on it. Great times.

Yeah, that was the first (of 8) free PPVs that Channel 4 carried. Good times.

Also, a huge fan of Angle/Lesnar. Perhaps the Mania Main Event I've watched the most. It was hard to enjoy it at the time knowing that one false move could end Angle's career.

After a few of these matches you've thrown off I'm hoping to not see the HBK-Bret iron man match in here, I find it boring compared to some of these like HHH-Cactus

Shawn Michaels vs John Cena (WWE Raw, 4/23/07)

*Dodges the looks coming his way* Alright, let me explain. This was the most I've been into a match on free TV since I was a child... and there wasn't even anything at stake. I'm convinced that if this were the WrestleMania match, we'd be talking about it with the great WM matches of all time. It really SHOULD have been how the WM match went but nevertheless the crowd is just loving it and Cena put on the performance of a lifetime. I just don't dock this match as much as most do for it being a non-title free TV main event. It loses some points for the lack of historical relevance but for overcoming that to be an absolute classic, I have it as my 41st favorite match of all time.

Sting and Lex Luger vs The Steiner Brothers (WCW World Tag Team Title Match, SuperBrawl I, 5/19/91)

I have a love for face vs face matches already. This one was particularly awesome though. Four of the top fan favorites at the time just destroying each other. It wasn't long or dramatic or a psychological masterpiece. It was like a video game... just power move after power move and the crowd was eating it up. A really unique match. One of the funnest start to finish tag matches I've ever seen. A clean ending would have been cool but... what are ya gonna do.

Ricky Steamboat vs Rick Rude (Iron Man Match, WCW Beach Blast, 6/20/92)

The introduction of the iron man match. Years ago, I would have put this higher. It was maybe my favorite match at the time especially as a huge Ricky Steamboat mark as a child an Rick Rude was arguably the star of WCW in the ring at this time and it made for an awesome back and forth match. There were some questionable falls but for the most part, they made sense. Rude's comeback in the beginning to start pulling away followed by the intentional DQ just to get an easy pin and the last 30 seconds were fantastic. I think now, seeing how clear it is that a 1 fall win is the only real way to make an iron man match interesting, it takes some suspense away but still two of the greatest of all time in a match that just fit them so well. It would have been great to see them go an hour.

Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn (ECW Television Title Match, ECW Living Dangerously, 3/21/99)

The feud that originally got me into ECW and I think this was their best. One of the great pure wrestling feuds of all time in my mind. Everything these two did against each other was just so fluid and flowed so well. Also, the best use of the "5 more minutes" thing with Lynn basically just being handed the title but declining it for a clean finish.

Kurt Angle vs The Undertaker (World Heavyweight Title Match, WWE No Way Out, 2/19/06)

Another match that's been lost over the years, these two put on a match that I think everyone expected to be good and ended up being amazing. Throw this in as the main event at WrestleMania a month later over Rey's title win (streak aside) and you've got an all-time classic. As it stands, it's another footnote in both men's careers but without a doubt one of the best matches either was ever a part of.

Yeaaaaaaah, Angle/Undertaker was the SHIT. I remember being wasted watching it at Hooters with some people who didn't care THAT much about wrestling, but the entire place was marking the fuck out. So many false finishes that I bought into. Just amazing. Epic night.

Steve Austin vs The Rock (WWF Title No Holds Barred Match, WrestleMania X-7, 4/1/01)

In hindsight, it's not as impactful as it seemed at the time. Still a HUGE deal at the time. Not only the turn but the match itself. One of the more anticipated WrestleMania main events of all time and it ended up being a classic. So unpredictable at the time. The main event of, in my mind, the greatest PPV of all time and the match that is considered by many to signify the end of the attitude era.

The Steiner Brothers vs The Miracle Violence Connection (Clash of the Champions XIX, 6/16/92)

I should preface this by saying this may be my favorite tag feud ever. I was a HUGE Steiner Brothers mark when I was a kid and Gordy and Williams always genuinely scared me for their sake. While you had monster heels that were intimidating, you always had a feeling the good guy would pull through but this was one of the first feuds that I always genuinely felt like the heroes just weren't up to par. While I know a lot of people consider this a weaker match in the feud, I still love it for what it was. Gordy and Williams just seemed so unbeatable.
