I"m gonna add to the Bourne/Morrison love.
That match has actually made me a Morrison Mark.

Mero/Sable vs. Goldust/Luna, WM14 was WAY beyond my expectations, given the WWF's awful mixed tags up until that point. I can't stand Sable, but that match is nearly impossible not to enjoy. Crowd loves it and everyone tries hard, which wasn't always the case with Mero and Goldust.

2004:
-Eddie vs Lesnar (Exceeded expectations) -Benoit vs HHH vs HBK (Didn't expect a Benoit win at all) -Shelton vs HHH (Expected a squash) -Eugene vs Benoit (I actually thought Eugene had the title won at one point) -Orton vs Foley (Instant classic) -HHH vs Benoit Ironman match (Awesome, expected a lot of filler, but was entertained throughout) -London & Kidman vs Dudleys (Didn't expect the two to ever win championship gold) -Chris Jericho vs Shelton (I didn't expect Jericho to lose to the poll winner at all, and it was a great way to start Shelton's IC run) -JBL vs Hardcore Holly (I don't know why, but this match really sticks out) -HHH vs Maven (Who would have thought this match would be so exciting?) -Lita vs Trish in RAW's main-event (Great way to end 2004)
2005:
-Edge vs HHH (Their first match 1 on 1 and I was pleased) -Edge vs HBK streetfight (I don't know why, but this match was awesome) -Christian vs Orton (Good showing from Orton) -Eddie vs Rey at WM21 (Good match) -MitB (I didn't think it be this good, but Shelton stole the show) -Orton vs Taker WM21 (Thought he had a chance here) -Shelton vs Jericho 2 (Hated that Jericho turned heel after though) -Edge vs Benoit LMS (Slow spots, but better than I thought) -MNM vs Eddie & Rey (Didn't think MNM had any talent) -Cena vs JBL "I Quit" (Better than their WM21 match) -HBK vs Shelton (WOW!) -Shelton vs Carlito (Good back and forth) -HHH vs Batista HiaC (EXCELLENT MATCH) -Ric Flair vs Kurt Angle (This really was a MOTY candidate that rarely gets talked about) -Jericho vs Cena (Jericho carried him though) -Mr. Kennedy vs Funaki (It was a good debut for some reason) -Eddie vs Batista (The story was good, I expected a chairshot) -Edge vs Matt Ladder Match (Ending was awesome) -Benoit vs HHH at Eddie's Tribute (Great nod to Eddie) -The Survivor Series Match (Orton stole the show tbh) -Rey & Tista vs MNM (My brother who stopped watching since 02 actually sat down to watch with me)
2006:
-Cena vs Edge in their rematch (Better than their RR encounter) -Undertaker vs Kurt Angle (MOTY for me) -Shelton vs Cena (Only for the "LET'S GO SHELTON! LET'S GO CENA" dueling chants) -Carlito vs RVD (If only for the double-leap senton splash) -Mickie vs Trish WM22 (Awesome match, awesome story, awesome finish) -Edge vs Foley (Didn't expect it to be that good) -Taker vs Henry WM22 (Good match from Henry) -HHH vs Cena vs Edge (A good triple-threat) -MNM vs Londrick (Didn't expect a Londrick win) -Booker vs Lashley KotR (Didn't expect Lashley to step up his game this quick) -RVD vs Cena ONS (No-brainer here) -Kennedy vs Batista (Kennedy showed he could hang with the best of them) -Big Show vs Ric Flair (Who didn't mark for this?) -Cena, Carlito, and Trish vs Rated-RKO (Nice 6-person tag) -Lita vs Trish Unforgiven (Marked for the sharpshooter) -Hardcore Holly vs RVD (Table-spot won me over) -Kennedy vs Undertaker (Surprised by Kennedy) -Flair and DX vs Spirit Squad (Good match, was pretty impressed by the SS, too bad all of them were gone except Kenny afterward) -The Armageddon ladder match (Kudos to all involved)
2007:
-Cena vs Umaga LMS (This match is awesome) -The ending of the Rumble with HBK and Taker was pretty epic too -MVP vs Benoit (MVP is stepping up his game) -Undertaker vs Batista (This caught me by surprise) -The Extreme Rules tag match (Should have been on WM23 instead) -Punk vs Burke (These two work well together) -Orton vs RVD (RKO Piledriver) -Stevie Richards vs Kevin Thorn (Who the hell thought Stevie could win a match?) -CM Punk vs John Morrison (Punk's title win was cool) -Jeff vs Umaga (They put on good matches together) -Tista vs Taker at Cyber Sunday (Good match) -Jeff vs HHH (Made Jeff look like a main-eventer) -Armageddon Triple-threat (Hawkins & Ryder cameos) -In-Crowd vs Moore Wang (Impressive) -Flair vs HHH (Good show)
2008:
-In-Crowd vs Moore Wang Ironman (More impressive) -Jeff vs Umaga in a cage (Ending was cool) -RAW EC (Jeff kicking out of pedigree = INSTA-WIN) -HBK vs Flair (For obvious reasons) -Kingston vs Jericho (Who wasn't impressed?) -Umaga vs Kennedy (Good solid bout) -Punk vs Batista (Obviously) -Batista vs Cena (Surprising) -Taker vs Edge HiaC (Edge of my seat more like it) -Miz vs CM Punk (Who the hell thought Miz would beat him?) -Beth vs Kelly (Kelly's got it) -Matt vs Bourne (Solid showing by Bourne) -In-Crowd vs HBK & Rey (Nitro Blast) -Ziggler vs Batista (Strong debut) -Swagger vs Dreamer Extreme Rules (Made Swagger look amazing) -In-Crowd vs Yang/Naki (Good showing) -In-Crowd vs Punk/Kofi (Better showing) -Armageddon Triple-threat (JEFF WINS! JEFF WINS!)
2009:
-Chavo vs HHH (Eddie's spot was stolen) -Colons vs In-Crowd (Will miss them) -Jericho vs Steamboat (Well this never happened, but take out the two useless guys from the WM25 match) -Cena vs Swagger (Good showing from Swagger) -Bourne vs Morrison (Obviously)

Shelton Benjamin v.s. Shawn Michaels on RAW's Gold Rush tournament episode in 2005.
For a second I really thought Shelton had to win, then HBK hit that unforgettable sweet chin music after Shelton springboarded off the ropes.

Rarely, one of the best matches I've seen was the first of Brock Lesnar vs Hardcore Holly
Many have complained abour the powerbomb sandbagging crap, but I think that's the minor thing. Holly acted all the match like he didn't mind if Lesnar destroyed him; he was ready to die, but also ready to kill. The part where Holly tackles Brock to the outside of the ring is one of my favourite moments ever.

Morrison vs Borne was an awesome match!! I loved every bit of it. I hope Morrison gets a push and becomes IC champ again or in the next 3-5 years gets world title.

With Rey and the IC belt on Smackdown! now, I'd love to see Morrison start a fued with him right away. I think those two could put on some good matches and make the IC title scene much more exciting than it is now.

And I agree with this. I didn't think they'd make Swagger look bad by any means, but I certainly didn't think he'd look so good going up against Cena. And an honorable mention goes to Bourne/Morrison from last week.

i'll throw out Jeff vs Taker ladder match.
seriously is in my top 3 favourite matches of all time. no one going into it thought Jeff had any chance but by the end you believed he could pull it out.

Big Show vs Undertaker in a cage match on Smackdown this past year. Marty Jannetty vs Kurt angle on Smackdown in 2005. Didn't expect it to go 20 minutes.

I agree with HBK/Shelton with this sweet spot
Also the tringle Tag match at Armageddon 2006 that ON THE NIGHT became a Ladder Match

sounded like normal run of the mill crap we get all the time... in other words matches that left you pleasantly surprised. For me, my favorite was Jamie Knoble vs Vladimir Kozlov. I thought it was going to be a bland squash match but instead Knoble MADE Kozlov a monster he proceeded to put on a match that made us feel like MAYBE he could pull it off and get the win. It was easily the best match Kozlov has ever been in (in my opinion) and a sterling example of how good Jaime is at making people look good. Noble has always been my favorite workhorse in the WWE, to call him underrated is an understatement in itself. The guy is just plain great in the ring, and he does it not by doing lots of impressive stuff, but just by really putting in a lot of effort while he's out there. I hope when Superstars picks up he gets some 10+ minute matches on there.
