i see two of mine on the runnerup list, but i have a gut feeling my #2 is going to be nowhere in sight.

If it isn't on the runner up list, it's on the main countdown.

WWE Championship: Rob Van Dam(c) vs. Edge - Vengeance 2006

The next match was for the WWE Championship, in which champion Rob Van Dam defended the title against Edge accompanied with Lita. In the beginning of the match, Edge performed a sunset flip powerbomb on Van Dam outside the ring. Van Dam, however, managed to execute a crossbody on Edge inside the ring, resulting in the two landing on the outside of the ring floor. Both men took the upper hand in the match, until Van Dam was scripted to knock the referee unconscious. Edge took advantage, as Lita gave him the title. Edge tried to hit Van Dam with the title, but Van Dam dodged the hit as he performed a spinning kick on the title, resulting in hitting Edge's face. Edge, however, got the advantage as he attempted to perform a shoulder block takedown on Van Dam, while Lita propped a chair on a ring corner. Edge went for the shoulder block takedown, but Van Dam moved out of the way, resulting in Edge to crash head-first onto the chair. Capitalizing on the situation, Van Dam then performed a body splash from the top turnbuckle on Edge, which he followed with a cover and a pinfall, thus retaining the WWE Championship.

Money In The Bank Ladder Match: Edge vs. Booker T vs. CM Punk vs. Finlay vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. Randy Orton - Wrestlemania 23

The first televised match of the night was the third-annual Money in the Bank ladder match, this time featuring eight participants; Edge, Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton from Raw, King Booker (with Queen Sharmell), Mr. Kennedy, Matt Hardy and Finlay from SmackDown!, and CM Punk from ECW. The match featured many notable spots, including points where Edge performed the Spear on all the other opponents, followed by Randy Orton doing the same by leveling many of the participants with his RKO later in the match. Mr. Kennedy missed a Kenton Bomb and landed on a ladder on the back of his neck. He instead received a Swanton Bomb from Jeff Hardy. Several dangerous ladder spots were also featured, including Orton hitting an RKO to CM Punk whilst standing on the ladder, and King Booker hitting his Book End to Orton from the top of the ladder as well. Midway through the match, Jeff Hardy climbed a fifteen foot-high ladder inside the ring and on his brother, Matt Hardy's urging, he performed a leg drop off of that ladder onto Edge, who was lying prone on another ladder outside the ring, set-up on the ring apron and the barricade. Due to the impact, the ladder on which Edge was placed, broke in half and he, along with Jeff, were severely injured. They were carried off on stretchers by the paramedics. Later, when Booker was about to retrieve the contract briefcase, Matt Hardy held Booker's wife, Queen Sharmell as a hostage, threatening to perform his Twist of Fate on her. Booker went to her aid and received the Twist of Fate from Matt. Finlay fought Matt for sometime in the ring, and also performed his Celtic Cross to Matt onto a ladder. Finlay's associate Hornswoggle emerged from under the ring and attempted to retrieve the briefcase for Finlay. He was stopped by Kennedy, who performed his Green Bay Plunge on Hornswoggle. Kennedy went on to win the match, only after knocking CM Punk off a ladder by hitting him with another ladder.

Edge vs. Shawn Michaels - Royal Rumble 2005

The first match that aired was between Edge and Shawn Michaels. Edge mocked Michaels by performing some of Michaels' signature taunts during the match. Edge gained the advantage after an Edge-O-Matic (sitout rear mat slam) outside the ring. Michaels fought back until Edge left the ring. Michaels came after him, but, with the referee's distraction, Edge speared Michaels, both outside and inside the ring. Michaels then knocked Edge off the second rope and executed a diving elbow drop. Edge countered a superkick attempt into an electric chair drop and applied the Edgecator. Michaels broke the hold and attempted a roll-up, but Edge rolled through and pinned Michaels while holding the ropes.

World Heavyweight Championship: Edge(c) vs. Dolph Ziggler - Smackdown February 11th, 2011

Prior to the main event, the self-appointed Special Guest Referee Vickie Guerrero reaffirmed that Edge’s Spear was still banned. If he opted to use it against Dolph Ziggler, he would be disqualified and the “acting” GM’s bleach-blond boyfriend would automatically become the new World Heavyweight Champion.

In the peak of the heated championship showdown, Vickie attempted to spear Edge herself, only to hurt her ankle. The Ultimate Opportunist seized the moment and hit the banned Spear on Ziggler two separate times. The Green Bay Packers' Clay Matthews then charged to the ring as a second Special Guest Referee, making the three-count to secure Edge’s victory. However, the outcome of SmackDown’s main event became unclear when the injured Guerrero waved-off The Rated-R Superstar win. Who is the rightful holder of the World Title? Green Bay Packers come to SmackDown.

WWE Tag Team Championship Tables, Ladders, & Chairs Match: Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho(c) vs. Edge & Christian vs. The Dudley Boys vs. The Hardy Boyz - Smackdown May 24th, 2001

As an act of revenge, Vince McMahon scheduled new Tag Team Champions Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho to defend their titles against WWE's top 3 teams in a match that they made famous in the previous two years. Early on, Benoit attempted a diving headbutt on Matt Hardy through a table to the outside. Jeff pulled his brother off the table and Benoit crashed through it ribs first. Benoit was taken to the back, leaving Jericho to defend their gold. As Jericho and Edge fought on a ladder going for the belts late, Benoit emerged from the back clutching at his ribs. He fought his way to the ring, climbed up a ladder, struggled through pain to reach up, and grabbed he and Jericho's tag team gold.

[MikeyMania]

None of mine are listed yet. Would be awesome if they all made the top 20.

EDIT - And with 21 posted, yes, yes they have. That TLC was also very close to being on my list though.

[Crappler El 0 M]

Looking over the honorables and the list so far...I don't think any of my matches have appeared yet...

[Big Bad Brad]

So far none of my others have made the list yet.

WWE Championship: John Cena(c) vs. Edge - New Years Revolution 2006

As Cena was celebrating his victory, Vince McMahon came out and announced that Edge was cashing in his Money in the Bank title shot. McMahon booked Cena and Edge in a match for the WWE Championship. Cena was tired yet and was unable to wrestle anymore but the match started. Edge came into the ring and speared Cena. He made a pinfall attempt but failed as the referee was going to count 3 but Cena had his shoulder up and the match continued. When Cena got to his feet, Edge speared him once again and finally pinned him to win the WWE Championship.

[Big Bad Brad]

I was pretty close to putting that match on my list.
