(If this thread was recently made, disregard it, I couldn't find anything.)
I was going through Youtube videos and ran across the Angle/Benoit match from Royal Rumble 2003 and I highly regard it as the best match I've seen live.
So I was wondering what the best match you've ever seen live?
(Posted thread in here so answers wouldn't be limited)

If you talk about indy shows, I'd probably say a match between Kevin Steen and Christopher Daniels in Quebec City in 2004. Crowd was hot all match long and it was amazing.
As for WWE, I'd probably say RVD vs Kurt Angle in Montreal on Smackdown in October 2001. Final show before No Mercy hyping the 3-way between RVD, Angle and Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWF Championship. Great memories.

I've lost count when going to PWG shows but the two that jump out to me the most are Hero Vs. Danielson for the PWG title at Guerre Sans Frontiere in 2009 and the Generico/Steen ladder match at Steen Wolf last year.

God, I've seen some awesome matches for 2CW over the past 5 years it's hard to pick one. Probably my favorite matches I've seen are for singles, A match between Bryan Danielson and Eddie Edwards in late 2007 and the best tag match I've ever seen between The American Wolves and The Best Around in May of 2010

- Eddie Guerrero Vs JBL & RVD/Rey Vs. Dudley Boyz (Judgment Day 2004, very underrated tag match) - Kurt Angle Vs Ric Flair (6/27/2005 Raw) - Chris Benoit Vs Christian Vs Booker T Vs Muhammad Hassan Vs JBL Vs Undertaker (6/30/2005 Smackdown, same taping as Raw)
TNA: Samoe Joe/Magnus Vs Christopher Daniels/Kazarian (5/4/2012 house show)

These had me marking out the most.
- Edge vs. Kurt Angle (WWE Judgment Day 5/19/02) - Finlay vs. Rey Mysterio (WWE SmackDown 3/20/06) - KENTA vs. Bryan Danielson (ROH Driven 6/23/07) - Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels (WWE WrestleMania 25 4/5/09) - Briscoes vs. All Night Express (ROH Takes Center Stage Night 1 4/2/11) - Takashi Sugiura vs. Kensuke Sasaki (NOAH 7/23/11) - Jun Akiyama vs. Takao Omori (All Japan 2/3/12) - Kensuke Sasaki & Mitsuhiro Kitamiya vs. Jun Akiyama & Kenta Kobashi (Diamond Ring 2/11/12)
Taker vs. HBK was probably the best that I've ever seen live.

Undertaker vs. HBK - WM25. The following year was amazing also, but nothing compares to that feeling I had being there live for the 1st one.

Chris Jericho vs Rey Mysterio IC title match at The Bash was the best match I've ever seen live.
Eddie vs Brock at No Way Out is a close 2nd.

My top five:
6/30/01 - Ladder Match: Low Ki/Xavier (ICW Elks Lodge show) - YouTube this, it's the best match you've never seen.
3/14/04 - Chris Benoit/Shawn Michaels/Triple H (WrestleMania XX) - Easy choice.
6/18/05 - CM Punk/Austin Aries (ROH Death Before Dishonor III) - Had front row seats and never thought in a million years Punk would win this match. The reaction when he won was indescribable.
10/1/05 - Samoa Joe/Kenta Kobashi (ROH Joe vs. Kobashi) - I also was sitting front row for this and video does no justice to what this match felt like live.
6/11/06 - Rob Van Dam/John Cena (One Night Stand) - Not an amazing match by any measure, but definitely an amazing crowd.

World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match, No Way Out 2009. Easily the best match I've seen live. The Edge/Jericho/Mysterio triple finisher elimination of John Cena got a HUGE reaction.

I've seen a number of good matches live. Heres my 5 favourite:
1. AJ Styles Vs Christopher Daniels (Random Australian Supershow, Was a good one)
2. Jeff Jarrett Vs Rhino (From the same supershow in 2005)
3. Hulk Hogan Vs Ric Flair (2009, You would think it's bad but it was really quite good)
4. M-Dogg 20 Vs Shannon Moore (This was a Ladder Match and it was really pretty awesome)
5. Jessie McKay Vs Madison Eagles (Random Australian Indy, They had match of the night)

My top 5...
1: John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels - RAW in London, 2007 - the best RAW match of all time. 2: PAC vs. Shingo Takagi - Dragon Gate UK, October 2011 - truly amazing match. 3: Ayumi Kurihara & Ayako Hamada vs. Leon & Ray - SHIMMER, March 2012 - one of the best tag team matches I've ever seen, let alone live in person. 4: Marty Scurll vs. Zack Sabre Jr. - Progress Wrestling, March 2012 - a pure wrestling masterclass. 5: CM Punk vs. Colt Cabana - FWA British Uprising 2 - the match that made me a fan of both men.

Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair - Hulkamania tour, Melbourne, 2009 - The match wasn't so much a 5 star classic, it's just cool to be able to say "I saw Ric Flair versus Hulk Hogan".

Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin submission match, WM 13.
However there was a pretty good match in Windy City between League champ Terry Allen and a mystery opponent that went more than 30 minutes in 2001. The mystery opponent's name? Well I don't want to spill, but I'll give his initials. RVD.
Man, that crowd popped huge.
