My three favorites are Rockers Vs. Orient Express from '91, Bret Hart Vs. Razor Ramon from '93, and Brock Lesnar Vs. Big Show from '03. yeah you could probably make the argument that the 93 rumble had two matches in hart/ramon and jannety/michales that were better then the rumble itself as too me that was a really weak rumble you could tell that yoko was going to win and savage going for a pin was just rediculous

Benoit/Angle and Rockers/Orient Express.
A very underrated one was Orient Express vs. the New Foundation in 1992.

I can't believe you guys are forgetting Shawn Michaels vs Triple H from the Rumble 2004 Last Man Standing at that.

I've got no one particular "favorite", but there are some real gems: - HBK vs. Undertaker, Casket Match - Rock vs. Mankind, "I Quit" - Tables Match: Dudleys and Hardys - Street Fight: Cactus Jack and Triple H - Ladder Match: Benoit and Angle - Angle vs. Benoit - LMS, HBK vs. HHH - John Cena vs. Umaga, LMS

The Rockers vs. THe Orient Express and the Tables match is pretty much still re-watchable.

Rockers/Orient Express is great. But I think Benoit/Angle is the best, just beating out Trips/Cactus. Oh, and that WWE Magazine list of the top 5 non-rumble Rumble matches was pathetic. I understand they can't list Benoit matches, but there are others much better than these. Here's the list: 5. Cena/Umaga (great match, but not top 5) 4. Flair/McMahon (not even close) 3. Dudleyz/Hardyz (good, but only for 2 or 3 spots) 2. Jericho/Rock (decent, but the ending sucks) 1. Mankind/Rock (great match, maybe top 5 worthy, but not #1) #2 and #4 weren't even all that great. HBK/HHH from the Rumble in 2004 was damn good, surprised that got no mention from them.

This question pops up all the time, and Trips/Cactus and Benoit/Angle get mentioned most, and for good reason. But when looking through my tapes, I find myself watching the Hardys/Dudleys table match from 2000 more than any other midcard match. Oh absolutely. That was the first WWE no-DQ match I'd seen, and it was amazing. Turned me onto a whole new world of wrestling that WCW wasn't showing me (at least not on Channel 5). Also made me a fan of both teams immediately, although E+C are still my favourite of the three.

HBK/HHH from the Rumble in 2004 was damn good, surprised that got no mention from them. Reed Flair getting a lobw blow was pretty cool. But what I LOVEd about Jericho/Rock was the super cheap heel finish...Ref bump, turnbuckle shot, low blow, belt shot, roll up with tights and feet on ropes.. classic

I can't believe you guys are forgetting Shawn Michaels vs Triple H from the Rumble 2004 Last Man Standing at that. I definitely didn't forget it. I just didn't like it. The double count out ending really ticked me off.

Yeah. Last Man STanding matches bore me to tears anyway, but they should actually have someone left standing...

Rockers vs Orient Express from 91, New Foundation vs Orient Express from 92, Jannetty vs Michaels from 93, Undertaker vs Yokozuna from 95 (surprisingly entertaining) were mine.

I don't rate it as high as Angle-Benoit, Angle-HHH and a few others, but Shamrock vs. Rock for the IC belt in '98 was pretty entertaining. That screwjob ending with the brass knuckles is what really "made" the Rock for me.
