Manami Toyota vs Toshiyo Yamada AJW 8/15/92 Hair vs Hair Building on this one, Dynamite Kansai/Toshiyo Yamada vs. Aja Kong/Manami Toyota from GAEA 8/23/2002. It was Toyota's debut match in GAEA (or at least one of her first) and it's filled with psychology due to her history with Yamada from AJW. Not to mention it's a fantastic match in its own right, and has Aja Kong, who is one of the true greats. A tape-trader friend of a friend showed it to me once on a joshi tape, but it might be kinda hard to find. Kensuke Sasaki vs. Toshiaki Kawada 10/9/2000. Sasaki's best match and one of Kawada's as well, and that's saying a lot considering it's Kawada. Hulk Hogan vs. Stan Hansen - 1990 in the Tokyo Dome. I'm totally serious.

All of Heatwave 98. Probably of the most solid shows top to bottom.
Justin Credible v. Jerry Lynn Chris Candido v. Lance Storm Masato Tanaka v. Mike Awesome RVD/Sabu v. Hayabusa/Jinsei Shinzaki Taz v. Bam Bam Dreamer/Sandman/LSD v. The Dudley Boyz

AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe vs Daniels from Unbreakable (the first one), poor TNA nobody is mentioning them. Cactus Jack vs HHH - RR2000 Rock vs Hogan - WM 18, mostly for the crowd reactions Ebassan Jack vs Samoa Joe - the list needs more comedy matches but I can't seem to think of many.
Money Inc vs the Steiners cage match as it's pretty unique.

I'm not that familiar, but I'd throw a Johnny Saint match in there just to get a taste of a different style.

Hogan vs. Hansen. I think I saw that one on youtube. Surprisingly good match. Agreed.
So, basically, you might as well ask what our favorite wrestling matches are. Mental constipation for me.
I guess I'll do my best and mention the ones that haven't been mentioned here yet:
- Savage vs. Flair (WM8) - Savage vs. Steamboat (WM3) - Savage vs. Warrior (WM7, SummerSlam '92 and pretty much any other match of theirs you can get your hands on) - Savage vs. Bret Hart (SNME 1987) - Savage / Bret Hart vs. Flair / Michaels (Prime Time Wrestling) - Michaels vs. Bulldog (SNME 1992 & One Night Only) - Michaels vs. Undertaker (WM25) - Bret Hart vs. Austin (WM13) - Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart (WM10) - Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect (SummerSlam '91 & King Of The Ring '93) - Bret Hart vs. Razor Ramon (Royal Rumble & King Of The Ring, both 1993) - Bret Hart vs. Piper (WM8) - Bret Hart vs. DiBiase (SNME) - Owen Hart vs. 1 2 3 Kid (King Of The Ring '94) - Owen Hart vs. Bulldog (Raw 1997) - Owen Hart vs. DiBiase (SNME 1989) - Owen Hart vs. Mr. Perfect (WM5) - Mr. Perfect vs. Santana (SNME) - Alundra Blayze vs. Bull Nakano (Raw 4/95 & AJW 1994) - Rockers vs. Orient Express (Royal Rumble '91) - Rockers vs. Brain Busters (SNME. 2 out of 3 fall) - Hart Foundation vs. British Bulldogs (SNME. 2 out of 3 fall) - Randy Orton vs. Jericho vs. Edge (Raw 2010) - Valentine vs. Garvin (Royal Rumble '90) - Royal Rumble 1990 - Bulldog vs. Warlord (WM7)

I'll echo some, and (possibly) add some.
Steamboat vs. Savage, WM3 Steamboat vs. Flair for the NWA title Savage vs. Honky Tonk Man for the IC title on Saturday Night's Main Event: the Mega Powers form Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect from SummerSlam '91 - Hart wins the IC title Mr. Perfect vs. Ric Flair from Raw in 1993 - loser leaves the WWF any of the Malenko vs. Guerrero matches from ECW any of the Malenko vs. Mysterio matches from WCW not really a match, but the debut of Brock Lesnar Eddie Guerrero wins the WWF title from Brock Lesnar JBL wins the title from Guerrero (mainly for Guerrero's blade job) WMXX Triple Threat Jericho-Benoit ladder match Shawn-Razor ladder match (the first one) any of the Hart Foundation-British Bulldogs matches any Cactus Jack vs. Sabu match Cactus Jack & Kevin Sullivan vs. the Nasty Boys from WCW Steiner Brothers vs. Terry Gordy & Steve Williams from Great American Bash 1992: NWA Tag Team championship tournament final
Those were just off the top of my head

Benoit vs. Angle, any PPV match I can't believe I forgot those. Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar in a 60-minute Iron Man match from SmackDown was really awesome to watch.

Also Shawn Michaels vs. Tatanka from WM9 it was a good match with a bad ending, but the action is still very solid.

The Great Muta vs. Hiroshi Hase (NJPW 12/14/1992) Ah, yes... the match that gave us 'the Muta Scale' for blood. Good choice. A few other picks: Combat Toyoda's retirement match against Megumi Kudo (FMW May 5, 1996) and Atsushi Onita's retirement match against Hayabusa (FMW May 1995).

Speaking of "Survivor Series", I'd also like to add The Dream Team vs. The Million Dollar Team (the one in which the Undertaker makes his official debut.) Good match!

Cactus Jack vs HHH - RR2000 Came in here to say this. I must have watched this match hundreds of times, and it's still not old.
