Something I think about a lot. CM Punk vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania 29 was great. As was the cage match Cena and Rollins had in MSG back in October.
The absolute best was Shield vs Goldust/Cody at Battleground in Buffalo. Never have been apart of an audience where every single person was rooting for the same outcome. That's a precious moment for me.

Either HBK/Taker at WM25 or Bret/Bulldog at SummerSlam 92. If you held a gun to my head and made me choose, it would be Bret/Bulldog.

Steamboat vs Savage from MLG...I like it better than their WMIII match....the main event for Canadian Stampede, the 10 man, was a unique experience...Bulldogs vs Hart Foundation in MSG...Steamboat vs Race in MLG...Benoit vs Austin in Edmonton,....Orton vs Foley Backlash 04...

Benoit vs. Angle at Royal Rumble 2003....which was the same night as the worst match I've ever seen live (Steiner vs. HHH)

Benoit vs. Angle at Royal Rumble 2003....which was the same night as the worst match I've ever seen live (Steiner vs. HHH) I was there too. The juxtaposition of those matches is hilarious.

Steamboat vs. Haku at a house show back in the fall of 1991. Swwet! I remember Meltzer saying that they were tearing it up in the opening match on the loop. No matches on tape, from what find...not even handhelds...what city?

For match quality it's pre-SES face Punk beating Y2J in 2009. For "I cant believe I was there for that" it's Vader beating Sting for the WCW title in 1993. Both took place at house shows at the same venue in Dublin.

Bret-Austin (WM13) and the only thing even close to that also involved Stunning Steve; he vs. Dustin Rhodes in WCW at a house show. Odd thing about that match, Dustin feuded with Rick Rude at the time and were scheduled to wrestle each other. We saw Rude peeking through the curtain watching the match. Why they replaced Rick with Austin, we don't know. (Rude didn't wrestle anyone that night. Just odd is all.)

Strong vs. Tanahashi at War of the Worlds Night 2 in May. Absolutely phenomenal.

Cena v HBK, Raw in London in 2007. WWE.com even named it the best Raw match ever. Epic match.

Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe at Genesis 2006. It was their first match, and the atmosphere was electric. It felt special.

Went to Wrestlemania this year, I'd say Sting/HHH. Didn't like the finish, but it was a great match, and loved all the surprise run-ins.

Hbk/taker wm25. Or if you go house show, British bulldogs/Hart foundation in a cage a long time ago.

Cena/Rollins at a house show in Toronto. Mad respect for those guys for pulling out all the stops at a house show that wasn't on TV. They did the Summerslam 2008 Cena/Batista powerbomb spot and Cena won with a Super AA. I think Rollins busted out a Tiger Bomb/Liger Bomb too but I can't remember, lots of high spots.

I'll say Triple H vs Chris Jericho in April 2000, the infamous night Jericho "won" the title. It was a pretty good match with an unforgettable ending, that place just exploded when Jericho pinned him.
Runner-up would probably be the Hardyz/Edge & Christian ladder match from the Raw debut on TNN. Usual crazy match between those four, and actually featured the debut of the "Edge spears Jeff off the belts" spot that they'd immortalize a few months later at Wrestlemania.
