Random but... The Miz vs John Morrison on the first RAW of 2011, with the WWE Championship being defended iirc. The first match of 2011 on Raw - Miz v. Morrison, Falls Count anywhere for the WWE Title! ....commentated by Cole in full Miz worship mode and Josh Matthews. The match is much more enjoyable on mute, and I will never turn down watching a Morrison match For falls count anywhere this was pretty tame but these two put on a great opener. This was at a time when the title picture was overshadowed by Cena vs. the recently formed Punksis.

Miz vs Primo - with Carlito & John Morrison on guest commentary. (ECW. March 09/March 10 - 2009)
I refuse to watch it again in case it doesn't hold up but Meltzer gave this 3 and a half stars I think.

Brian Pillman vs Johnny B Badd - Fall Brawl 1995 This took me a couple of tries to actually settle down and watch - I'm not a big fan of Johnny B Badd but I can respect what he and Pillman did in this match. Good pacing but some really painful announcing at points when it came to the rules (more Buffer than Schiavone) but a solid overall match. Wonder if a time-limit match would be taken seriously today. Sami & Strowman had one at this year's Fastlane. It was okay.

Vader vs. Owen Hart - WWF One Night Only (1997) Edit: Just noticed that you've been recommended some matches with Owen already....so if you want an alternative option, Bastion Booger vs. Marty Jannetty (Raw, August 16th 1993) Owen/Vader - I'm impressed and actually really happy at how much offense Owen was allowed in this match. I'm also a bit stunned that Vader's incident in Kuwait had come up in commentary (how far removed was this show from the incident?). Owen looked scrappy in defeat, and both of them did a great job of getting the crowd booing Vader. Booger/Jannetty was short and sweet, and MAN does that commentary table not mesh. Also, what could have been for Marty.

Shield vs Wyatts at Elimination chamber I WAS THERE!!!
And to everyone watching at home, good LORD that camerawork was horrific. Some interesting teases through the match: -Wyatt called out Ambrose at the beginning, saying something like "You LOOK like a criminal!" which would later be a plot point when they feud against each other. -Roman is mentioned as the "Leader" of the Shield, and even back then I thought Rollins was in charge.... Roman looked really good in this match because he was doing what he does best - get out there and wreck shit. The headbutt spot with Wyatt near the end is still a favorite of mine. -Seeing some of the fine cracks in the Shield, but at the time wondering who would actually break it. At that point you wouldn't have suspected Rollins as he tries to keep Roman and Dean from tearing into each other. After seeing this, I need Wreck-It Reigns, Seth Metal and AngryScaryDean back in my life.

TWGTT vs Mysterio & Kidman- Vengeance 03. Kidman got POWERBOMBED! This match reminded me of how much fun it was watching WGTT in action - and how much I miss their theme and Charlie Haas. The crowd was fully invested in this match, to the point of breaking out into a "Bullshit!" chant when Mysterio/Kidman thought they had the match won. Great contrast of high flying and MAT RASSLIN. Oh, and Shelton needs to bring his crucifix bridge submission back from this match, that was sweet!

Ted Dibiase vs. Virgil SummerSlam 91. DiBiase made Virgil look like a million bucks in there. Now does it scare anyone that Virgil of all people has a win at MSG? Surprised that he doesn't charge even more for autographs and pictures with that under his belt. And Piper should have done more commentary- although I wonder if that was an "Augmented" bit of commentary, since he was screaming his head off like a little kid. Loved it regardless.

How about Batista vs. Alberto Del Rio at Elimination Chamber 2014. Since we know you were there, I want to know what this match was like as far as the vibe in the audience.

This match was soooo good!!
