Best televised match of the decade

[Agent P]

Anything mentioned would easily be in the Top 10, so I am gonna mention a forgotten series of matches that were awesome. Miz & Morrison vs Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore. No they will not be remembered, but they were awesome.

Shawn/Hunter for the World Title on that Raw in December of 03 from San Antonio. When they do the false finish of Shawn winning the belt, that place absolutely erupts.

What was the story going in, with Bischoff acting fair?

4 way TLC match with The Dudleys, E&C, The Hardys, and Benoit/Jericho for the tag titles.

HBK/Cena in UK, and I'm not a fan of either guy.

I think it was a swerve that night when he got in the ring, to set up the finish.

Love the end of that match. "You're fired, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" f***ing hilarious. And then not shown is the return of stone cold. Great night, great crowd.

Does anybody remember the awesome Akio vs. Paul London series from Velocity? I don't know if that'd qualify, since Velocity was an online-exclusive at the time of the series, I think (it had started out on TV though, I believe).

HHH vs. HBK, Dec 03

Angle vs. Lesnar, Iron Man

Shawn Michaels vs. Shelton Benjamin, Gold Rush Tournament

CM Punk vs. Morrison, ECW 07 (Punk wins the title)

The Radicalz and Mick Foley vs. DX, Raw in 00 (crowd heat was amazing)

Evan Bourne vs. John Morrison, ECW 09 (Morrison's last match on ECW)

John Morrison vs. Rey Misterio, Smackdown 09

Steve Austin vs. Chris Benoit, Smackdown 01

Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero, No Holds Barred Smackdown 02

Chris Benoit vs. Shawn Michaels, Raw 04 (the second one, I think for the title)

Shawn Michaels vs. John Cena, Raw 07 in England

Rey Misterio vs. Kurt Angle, Smackdown 05 (?) in Japan

Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit, Sumission Match Raw 05 (again, ?) in Japan... very underrated match, IMO.

William Regal vs. Chris Benoit, Velocity in 05 (I think?)


I'd say it'd be between the Iron Man, HBK/Shelton, and Benoit/Austin

And best tv exclusive match series goes to the Velocity program between Akio and Paul London, no doubt... some awesome little matches there. Haven't seen them in YEARS, though.

[noleafclover1980]

HBK vs Triple H
HBK vs Cena
Triple H vs Ric Flair for the title... a few times you really felt like Flair was gonna pull it off, and J.R. did a great job of calling the match, it really felt like Flair's last shot at greatness.

[Long Live the Stream]

Austin/Triple H vs. Jericho/Benoit for the WWF Tag Titles from Raw in May of 01 is mine.

Close second to Benoit/Michaels WHC Match from Raw in May of 04.

[The Peoples Elbow]

Brock/Angle Ironman.

[W?Y]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it thus far:

Evolution vs. Benoit/Michaels/Foley/Benjamin.

The best multi-man tag I've ever seen, a near flawless showing from all eight men, and a fantastic buildup to a great PPV (Backlash '04).
