The Ultimate Warrior vs Randy Savage (Retirement Match, WrestleMania VII, 3/24/91) The match was awesome. Unfairly or not, I MAY rate this higher because of the stuff with Liz and Randy after the match though. COME ON. Beautiful. Ultimate Warrior vs Randy Savage - WrestleMania 7 by 1BadboyMMA |

Ric Flair vs Barry Windham (NWA World Title Match, NWA Worldwide, 1/24/87) The best of a streak of great matches these two put on and it was free on an episode of Worldwide. Went to a TV time limit draw and might actually be higher on my list if it had an ending. Instead, it served to just add fuel to the fire of an already hot feud revolving around Windham dead-set on finding a way to beat Flair for the title and Flair constantly finding a way to escape with it. The match itself isn't online for some reason but it is on the "Ultimate Ric Flair Collection" DVD. Instead, I'll just post a video of another stellar match between the two from the same year that shows how well they worked together. Some actually consider this one to be the best match between the two. Flair definitely brought out the best in Windham and vice versa. |

Edge & Christian vs The Hardyz vs The Dudleyz (WWF Tag Team Title TLC Match, WrestleMania X-7, 4/1/01) The addition of Rhyno, Spike and Lita randomly in the match, the atmosphere, and the fact that I thought there was no way E & C would win it AGAIN made this match stand out so much. One of the highlights of arguably the greatest PPV in wrestling history and everything a TLC match should be. Intense from beginning to end. |

Eddie Guerrero vs Brock Lesnar (WWE Title Match, WWE No Way Out, 2/15/04) Eddie's world title win. I wish it could have worked out for these two to have a nice long feud because they just meshed so well together. Loved the false finishes at the end even though I could not have dreamed that Eddie would actually pull it out. Brilliant. |

Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker (Hell in a Cell Match, WWF Badd Blood: In Your House, 10/5/97) I have a feeling a lot of people are going to find this match either too high or too low. I'm not sure which. I thought it was a classic and still unmatched as far as HIAC goes, but I just never could quite put it in the upper ranks. I think as an HBK mark, I hated the heel turn initially so much that it kinda deterred me from liking it even more. Still, one of the better performances of HBK's career. This is one example of a cheap finish actually being perfectly acceptable though with Kane's debut being such a major part of WWE history. |

Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho (WrestleMania XIX, 3/30/03) Obviously some back to back HBK is to be expected. This is one feud that couldn't be rehashed enough. Two of the greatest wrestlers of all time putting on a clinic for one of the greatest WrestleMania matches of all time. Awesome out of the blue finish, too. |

Randy Savage vs Ric Flair (WWF Title Match, WrestleMania VIII, 4/5/92) Yeah, it could have been better only because of the AMAZING build and the fact that it was Savage and Flair at WrestleMania. It had a lot of expectations to live up to and while many might find it too high, I wasn't disappointed one bit. Should be thought of as a classic all things considered. Not to mention Heenan on commentary being brilliant. |

Shawn Michaels vs Mankind (WWF Title Match, In Your House 10: Mind Games, 9/22/96) Maybe the most interesting blend of styles I've ever seen in a match and probably the best pure wrestling match of Foley's career. It had an odd ECW-like feel to it for some reason. A great mesh of hard bumps and story telling. A legit ending could have been nice but for a transition match as both men were just waiting to start bigger feuds, a DQ was fine I guess as the post match brawl was fun as well. |

Royal Rumble Match (WWF Title Match, WWF Royal Rumble, 1/19/92) Flair working with a plethora of different styles, heels and faces from a great era of WWE for an hour plus. Amazing. |

Bret Hart vs Owen Hart (WrestleMania X, 3/20/94) 22 is pretty high. Still probably too low for many. One of the all time great upsets. |

GETTING DOWN TO THE WIRE.
And after careful calculations... I have found that the rankings for most appearances: 1) Shawn Michaels - 13 2) Bret Hart - 12 3) Ric Flair - 11 (I counted the '92 Royal Rumble as a Flair match, didn't count it for anyone else) 4) Steve Austin - 11 5) Kurt Angle - 9 How will this change in the top 10?! Or will a new challenger appear?! Last edited by Lock Jaw; 11-24-2011 at 07:49 PM. |

Bret Hart vs Steve Austin (Submission Match, WrestleMania 13, 3/23/97) Could have gone without the guest referee distraction, but still. That image of Austin in the sharpshooter with blood running down his face is the most iconic image of wrestling's greatest era. That coupled with the most famous double turn of all time and a great wrestling match on the biggest stage of all makes an all time classic. |

Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle (WWE Vengeance, 6/26/05) SWERVE! I think it might be a toss-up over which one is better. I prefer the ending to this one obviously... Also, this one managed to still have a big fight atmosphere even with the lack of the WrestleMania stage and a somewhat obvious outcome. But like these two were so good at doing, even the obvious outcome was in doubt at times during the match. More great storytelling from these two. |

HONORABLE MENTION:
Since it just missed the cut due to the list being made after it. But it would have made the top 100 somewhere (Sorry Shelton vs HHH) CM Punk vs John Cena - WWE Championship - Money... by Geylow |

I actually started giving guys points based on rankings and see what that list looked like. Like... giving 100 pts for the #1 match, 99 for #2, etc. and adding up and making a little top 20 or so list. I might finish that up and post it. Might be interesting even for me to see how it turns out.

It's a great list.
I'm surprised that Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit from the Royal Rumble 2003 didn't make the top 100 though. |

I was never as big of a Benoit fan as most people. I really enjoyed his tag matches with other guys I really liked for some reason Just never found myself too interested in the outcome of his matches. One exception being the match with Austin for the title because that was just genius. He worked for me on some levels when he played the scrappy, Steamboat-esque face but for the most part I didn't find him terribly likable. The whole murder-suicide stuff didn't exactly help that.

Also, it's a great list. Mine would be very different because I haven't seen a lot of the older stuff (perhaps this thread could change that).

I think I might start making my way through this list during some free time I have as I've not seen some of the older matches and can't even fully remember most of the matches I have seen because I very rarely rewatch a match.

Was the WM20 triple threat in there? I can't remember and am too lazy to look back over the whopping six pages of this thread.
