I was going to limit this to just Raw, but may as well OPEN THIS SUCKA UP. Obviously there's a lot of obvious ones such as Mankind winning the title, but I'm currently watching a Raw and it is just so action packed with a hot Dallas crowd and I had completely forgotten about it.
HHH/X-Pac/Saturn/Malenko/Benoit V Cactus/Rock/Rikishi/2 Cool. An ever so slightly botched finish with Cactus hitting Benoit while he had the final pin on Grandmasta Sexay isn't enough to dilute the brilliance. Let me know some more, wouldn't mind youtubing them up. ![]() |

Anytime it's a Wrestler vs. a Wrestler in a wrestling match
IE: Danielson vs Punk, Benoit vs. Jericho, Angle vs. Lesnar |

vs Dudley Boys, Rhyno, Raven, Tazz, Justin Credible, Mike Awesome, Lance Storm, Rob Van Dam & Tommy Dreamer Clusterfuck of the century and I remember a Shane O Mac v Rock cage match being really good in 2000, IIRC |

Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar Iron Man Match from Smackdown is the first the comes to mind. Sure there's probably better, but can't be bothered thinking about it.
Pretty much what St. Jimmy said, though. When it's two guys who know what they are doing, and are giving time to have a PPV-quality match. Benoit, Jericho, Angle, Lesnar, Punk, Bryan, Edge, Guerrero, maybe something from the Smackdown Six period. Any combination of these guys giving time to go out and do their thing pretty much always works. |

Triple H/Benoit iron man match was good, even with Eugene getting involved.

Undertaker vs. Jeff Hardy - Undisputed WWE Championship Ladder Match
- There are some other strong contenders: HBK/Cena hour long match, Punk/Bryan from a few months back, and Goldberg/Hogan for the WCW Title. But Jeff vs Undertaker was one of the most emotional and powerful matches I've ever seen. I was a "smark" at that point, and in the back of my brain I knew that there was no way they were putting the World Title on Jeff Hardy, who was little more than a mid-carder at this point. But there were moments in that match where they truly had me, and I honestly believed that maybe, just maybe, Jeff would pull it off. Jeff's desperate attempts to fell the big man, Jim Ross's amazing commentary, the extremely hot crowd and Undertaker's performance all made this an absolute classic. And more than that, it accomplished what it needed to accomplish: a great RAW main event, it elevated Jeff Hardy (who would later win the WWE Championship, many years later), and it made Undertaker an even more hated heel champion. I think I'll go rewatch this match right now. |

2 Cool generally are here in 2000 that I'm watching too. So wish GMS didn't love the thick white line so much.

World heavyweight title match, HBK/HHH - RAW December 2003. They were getting nearfalls out of punches by the end. And it has probably my favourite JR call ever after the finish.

Probably Hogan vs Goldberg for the WCW Title
Mankind vs The Rock was pretty epic as well. |

Sid Justice and Hulk Hogan vs Undertaker and Ric Flair. Sid walks out on Hogan turning heel and I think Brutus makes the run in save. Sets up their WM main event weeks later.

Wanted to say Jericho vs Triple H in the "It Never Happened" title match but remembered that occurred early into the show.
For non-matches, probably Foley hosting "This is your life" segment with the Rock. For matches, a tie between Foley's first title win, Goldberg vs Hogan, and Flair vs Sting as the last match ever in WCW. |

I didn't even think about Clash of the Champions being eligible. That opens up a lot of awesome options. Pretty much all involving Flair.

Undertaker vs Jeff Hardy is the first thing that popped in my head, but there are so many matches that it'd be hard to pick just one. Also, St. Jimmy is a sack of shit who needs to shut the fuck up.

It was a way to end the HHH/Benoit feud while beginning Orton/Benoit as well as HHH/Eugene. What else is there?

Did you see the HHH/Eugene match at Summerslam? It was fucking vicious. The build-up was emphasized by Eugene screwing over HHH after how badly he was being treated by Evolution. Also, it maintained the underdog champion nature of Benoit.

There were a couple of WCW Saturday Night main events in May 1992 that were my favorites...both matches were 2 out of 3 Falls.
5/9 - Steve Austin vs. Barry Windham for the WCW World Television title 5/30 - The Great Muta vs. Brad Armstrong |

speaking of WCW Saturday Night
Steve Austin/Ric Flair vs. Sting/Ricky Steamboat from about 1994 is outstanding |

Steamboat and Flair also had a great match on WCW Saturday Night in '94.
And of course, Flair vs Steamboat 2 out of 3 Falls at Clash of the Champions needs to be mentioned. One of the best matches ever. |

Two more I should mention:
- Rey Mysterio vs Ric Flair for the WCW Championship at one of the Spring Breakout Nitros that were held on the pool stage. Again, like Hardy vs Undertaker, I knew Rey wasn't going to win the title, but I was still hopping up and down on my couch like a fucking idiot for every nearfall. Even at the age of 45 or whatever, Flair was still the best when it came to playing the heel against the underdog babyface, making it look like he just might lose the title. Mysterio even had the match won when AA pulled him out and caused the DQ finish. Mysterio then dropkicked Flair into the pool. - Brock Lesnar vs Big Show on Smackdown. You know the one. The match wasn't even all that spectacular, but I had never, ever, ever imagined a spot where the entire ring fucking broke down into itself. One of the most incredible things I've ever seen happen in a wrestling ring. |

I have to to with the Undertaker versus Jeff Hardy in a Ladder Match for the Undisputed WWE Championship on Raw.
Another match I remember is Brock Lesnar versus Chris Benoit on SmackDown! '03. It was such a good, hard hitting wrestling match. |
