From the ones I seen nothing beats The Shield Vs The Wyatt's that I saw right before the Shield broke up.
What about you what was the best House Show match you saw?

Apparently I was in attendance for that Mr. Perfect vs Bret Hart match in Anchorage that Bret references in his book.
However, only being 3, I don't remember any of it.

Finn Balor (working as a heel) vs Adrian Neville on this years UK tour in Leeds. Easily the best house show match i've seen.

Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns in a Last Man Standing Match was actually really good, especially when you consider how disappointing their Raw matches have been. Way better than the Big Show LMS standing match, with less spots and more psychology.

probably not as great as some of the matches people mentioned but in 2004 at a Sheffield Raw house show it was Chris Benoit and Edge vs Ric Flair and Batista. Flair was so damn entertaining in the match.

Cesaro vs Zack Ryder for the US title, November 2012. I know he had one of the best opponents possible, but Ryder was at least twice as good here as he was in any TV match I've seen. That card also had a surprisingly awesome Michael McGillicutty (who they were trialing as a babyface) vs Tensai encounter.

Batista Vs. JBL Street Fight For The World Heavyweight Championship.
One of the roughest matches i have ever seen live the crowd was amazing the match was just a brutal blood bath of a street fight first main event match i ever saw live and from then on i was a Batista and JBL fan it was just so good.

Drew McIntyre and John Morrison had a really good match at the last house show I went to, which was in 2009. It was around Christmas and everyone was pretty much taking it easy, but they went all out and it instantly made me a fan of Drew.
None of the ones I went to before stand out as being great matches. I got to see a fatal 4 way for the title when Mankind was champion, and a really long Benoit/Angle match in 2001 that made me sleepy.

I don't know if you would call it the best wrestled match of anything, but I did see one match that was very unique for the time.
WWE House Show, Sioux Falls, SD. 9/6/02
WWE Champion Brock Lesnar (billed from his hometown of Webster, SD) vs. World Heavyweight Champion Triple H.
The atmosphere was electric. Only Lesnar's title was on the line of course and he won. I was beyond excited for the show because it was the first WWE show that I attended since I was about two in 1991.

Cesaro vs. Adrian Neville was amazing
Cesaro vs. Finn Balor was fantastic
Tyson Kidd vs. Hideo Itami
Kevin Owens vs. Samoa Joe vs. Finn Balor vs. Tyler Breeze (NXT in Cleveland in June)
Edge vs. Shawn Michaels (MSG show in 2005)

First show I ever went to was a house show in 1992. I don't remember much (I was 5) but the main event was Jake Roberts vs Randy Savage in a cage. Savage did a double ax handle off the top of the cage. 4 weeks before WrestleMania. In a house show match. In Oshkosh, WI. In an arena that maybe holds 4,000. The dude was a beautiful maniac.

Face Money in the Bank holder CM Punk vs heel SRS Jericho in Dublin in 2009, I remember there being loads of near falls where everyone believed it was over and the crowd were really into. Cant even remember who won but as I remember at the time thinking "wow Im watching a classic here".
Edit: And not WWE but have to mention my first wrestling show in 1993 seeing a WCW World Title change from Sting to Vader just because of what it is, I was pretty young then so it was only years later when I researched that show that I realised I had witnessed the WCW Title change hands.

This story about him doesn't surprise me. I heard an interview with Lanny Poffo where he said that Savage used to keep track of the outfits that he wore on the house show circuit to ensure that fans in that area never saw the same outfit twice. |

Flair was so damn entertaining in the match. Ha, I was at the same show (Trips / Orton ME, HBK selling a leg injury) I remember Flair getting full mooned in that match  Also, a few of us started throwing "murderer!" chants at Snitsky.... Good times  |

Recent: Chris Jericho vs. Bray Wyatt - the crowd was super into it, chanting "Y2J" loudly and constantly throughout, and Harper, Rowan, and the Usos all got involved.
All-Time: Ricky Steamboat vs. Haku - even as a 15 year old kid back in '91, I thought this one stole the show on a card that also included the likes of Hogan, Jake, Bret, and the LOD.

Dolph Ziggler vs John Morrison for the US title in 2011- A great match with plenty of near falls, even a guy parading around a chicken mask couldn't distract the crowd from this one.
CM Punk and Daniel Bryan vs Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in 2013- A fast paced match with plenty of action. It was also awesome to see CM Punk one last time before he left 2 months later. He actually looked pretty happy and was goofing around with Daniel Bryan before the match, there wasn't really any indication at all that he was sick and unhappy.
