I gotta go with the Team Austin vs. Team Biachoff match at Survivor Series 2003. Despite being huge into wrestling at the time I never saw Survivor Series 2001. But the build alone for that one makes me pick it too. And even though I don't like the guy CM Punk getting over DX in 2006 was great...because I like them less. Austin -v- Bischoff was the one with HBK doing a Cena and pulling it back from 3-1 to 1-1 and then Orton winning it anyway - while HBK was bleeding over the place? Yeah, that's my pick too. It was fantastic. Started the not used often enough aspect of Orton's character that he's near invincible in these matches (except that year his team was whitewashed - that was racist). It was. He was bleeding all over the place. I remember him taking on Orton and Batista at the end. There probably was a third person. I really enjoyed Survivor Series 2003 as a whole.

The Warriors vs. The Heenan Family in 1989. Not just because it was the last live PPV match of the 80's, but also Heenan's amusing performance.

The 20 man tags from the 87 and 88 SS. Can you imagine WWE today scrambling to find twenty guys to do it?

I just finished watching Team Austin vs. Team Bischoff from SS 03. It's been a while since I've seen it (I wanna say the last time was when it came out on DVD). Good golly was it a really great match & had enough of story going in that people were emotionally invested by the end of it.

The Tag Team elimination match from 1987 is great. I'll also give some love to Owen Hart and Bulldog with the New Rockers vs Lafon, Furnas and The Godwins

That part of me that's still bitter about the invasion wants to call it Team WWE vs Team Other WWE since only 2 people in the match had anything to do with WCW/ECW when it first invaded. Admittedly never saw the match though. If Canada ever gets a proper network I'll check it out and try to ignore what spawned it.

Team WWE vs Team Alliance is the only one I even remembered.
I loved how they had five finishers in a row just to eliminate Big Show. I love the revenge they had on Shane O'Mac. I love Austin just tearing shit down when Angle got eliminated. I love the Jericho heel turn. And I love that Rock and Austin were the final two cause they were my favorites.

My only real issue with the 2001 match was the weakness of The Alliance team. I know its the age old argument, but if they were able to get the likes of Goldberg, NWO, etc. on board around that time it would have been better.
I watched the Raw vs SD one last night, and I think it said a lot about the Raw brand at the time. The SD team was clearly a step above Raw.
As many others have said Team Austin vs Team Bischoff was sublime.
Enjoying having a SS binge though before tonight, really looking forward to it.
