Probably three that stand out.
Abyss vs. Mick Foley at Bound for Glory 2009: I wasn't all that impressed with the rest of the card, but damn this match was fun! I never thought of it as a dream match like some people, but it really delivered.
Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle at Royal Rumble 2003: I honestly wasn't as blown away by this match as many say they have been by it. Still, a lot of people consider it a modern day classic, so I figured I'd give it a mention.
Bret Hart vs. Ric Flair at a WCW House Show in 1998: My favorite in-ring performer ever vs. one of my other favorites. Both guys delivered and it was a great match!

Amasis, Gran Akuma, Mike Quackenbush, Player Dos & Soldier Ant vs. Hallowicked, Icarus, Ophidian, Player Uno & Worker Ant - Artistic Pursuit of Being Yourself Thirty minutes of crazy lucha. I had a blast watching it.
Nigel McGuinness vs. Bryan Danielson - Rising Above 2008 Literally the best match I've ever seen live. I heard every last strike, and I can remember screaming myself hoarse for finally getting to sing along to Dragon's theme.

I've seen a Ladder match at a house show, a Royal Rumble, and even Spike Dudley with Crowbar, but seriously kids, the best match I've seen live was at an indie show.
NEW Spring Slam 08 had Xavier defend his title against Jason Blade. For close to 25 minutes, these two delivered a very smoothly flowing match that featured a table spot that only added to the story of the match. To be happy I was there to watch it live is an understatement.

El Generico vs. Jushin Liger - PWG Kurt Russellmania You know, I was at this show as well and I couldn't enjoy the match because these 5 assholes behind would not shut the f*** up and just sucked the fun out of the whole night. Anyways: Bryan Danielson v. Chris Hero - PWG: Guerre Sans Frontier

Bret Hart Vs. Owen Hart in White Plains, NY at a WWF Action Zone taping in Sept. 1994. It's on Bret's dvd and it truly blew me away as an 11 year old kid.
The Hardy Boys VS. MNM at D2D in Augusta, GA in 2006. The ONLY decent match on the card. Was really just fun to watch. The rest of the night made me feel like Sylvia Plath.

WWE Tour of Defiance in the UK back in 2005. Triple H vs Shawn Michaels. The lasted about 20-25 minutes and was solid through out. Some great spots, both guys bladed and the crowd were crazy in to it. It's the best match I've seen these two have.

Booker T vs Chris Benoit during the best of 7 feud stands out.
For some reason I don't have a very vivid memory when it comes to wrestling shows and concerts so I have to go off what other people say when they tell me what I saw. It's weird because I have a great memory in general.
Anyway I remember that match because it stands out to me though I couldn't tell you who won. I just remember being really into it.
Undertaker vs Mankind at a house show. Shawn Michaels vs Goldust at the same show. Bulldog vs Ahmed at the same show was awesome because Owen did a run in with his cast and knocked Ahmed out.
