Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Psicosis, from Rey's Japanese debut, I think it was during the J Cup. I ordered a VHS(remember those) of Japanese matches from a tape trader and that match was randomly on the tape. I've been a Rey fan ever since. Mine was Rey vs Psi 2 out of 3 falls in ECW. They had shown clips of their first match on TV, but this was their first full televised match on the weekly show. Never seen anything like that before. Close second was Sabu vs 2 Cold Scorpio in early 1996. Both of them were just ON that night.

I wouldn't say "Mind Blowing but more "eye opening" was the 6-man tag match earlier this year on superstars (Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso & Trent Barreta vs. Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel & Tyson Kidd)...it just showed me what tag wrestling in the WWE could and SHOULD be right now ...but they just choose not to.

Misawa/Kobashi vs. Kawada/Taue-June 9, 1995. Probably the greatest tag match ever, and I'm a fan of tag wrestling.

El Generico vs. Nigel McGuinness for the ROH title, sometime in 2008 in Cleveland. I had never watched ROH and read that Nigel was just some dude who did a bunch of lariats, but I was absolutely blown away by his offensive arsenal and presence, and with Generico's amazing selling. Best match I've ever seen in person, even better than the Benoit/Angle match I saw at a WWF house show in 2000.

4 matches for me.... All Cena matches. I used to be a hardcore Cena hater but he has gained my respect.
Cena vs. HHH - Wrestlemania - I wanted to see HHH win so bad and when Cena had him in the STF I stopped breathing hoping HHH would get to the ropes, instead he taps. I took the next two days off of classes in college.
Cena vs. Umaga - RR last man standing - Just a great match. Knowing Cena was 98% probably of retaining the title. Umaga kept fighting and made me think there is no way he is going to lose.
Cena vs RVD - EHHHHH, I said I wanted Cena to lose all matches.... I lied. My hatred for RVD came out in this match, I thought all the chants of you can't wrestle and same old shit could have been easily directed towards RVD. Match took my breath away because Cena in my mind stole the show with how he went into hostile ground and didn't change his style but was more aggresive and then Edge took my breath away with the spear out of nowhere! Just wrestling the match before I thought it was going to be someone else.
Cena vs Punk - MITB - My vote for this years MOTY. It had everything a "new WWE style" story has. A match being told in the ring, a hot crowd, evil management trying to screw someone, and the right guy won.

I will always remember the Bret/Bulldog match from Summerslam 92 at the time when I was a kid that match just seemed incredible .
Also Taker/Manind Hell in a Cell when Foley came off that cage as JR said MY GHOUD

Dragon Kid/Ryo Saito/Genki Horiguchi vs. Cima/Masato Yoshino/Naruki Doi at ROH Supercard of Honor '06.
Just...wow. It won the Observer's MOTY Award for a damn good reason.

Most recently, El Generico vs....pretty much everybody.
1-2-3 Kid, Steen, Eddie Kingston.
And before that, the Rey de Voladores 3 way from King of Trios a few years back. You know the one. Jigsaw, Nick Jackson, Generico, Kota Ibushi.

I watched it on that CHIKARA Sampler Disc they gave out a few years back. That made sending off for the disc totally worthwhile. Kota Ibushi is an amazing fellow.

McGuinness vs Tyler Black
Benjamin vs Michaels on RAW (Easily one of the most underrated matches of all time.)
Warrior vs Hogan at Wrestlemania 6 (Nothing short of an actual miracle. One of the greatest WWF/E matches ever.)
Warrior vs Hogan at Halloween Havoc '98 (For the exact opposite reason stated for their first match.)

I think I lost my breath from throwing up on that last one. As far as the topic goes I've got to go with Misawa/Kobashi and Rey/Eddie from Halloween Havoc....97 I believe.

Necro Butcher vs Samoa Joe (@ Something to Prove). That was the first time I saw either guy wrestle, and it is easily among the best matches both men have had.

CM Punk vs. Cena from MITB. A match so good, I spoiled it for a friend who had to work, he insisted I tell him what happened. When he saw it later, he thought right to the end I had made up the way it went down. He knew the ending and still couldn't believe it was happening.

Another match that took my breath away was Steamboat/Rude ironman from Beach Blast 93. It was an epic battle that I couldn't look away from. The brash prima donna vs the heroic family man. It was so powerful. Their theme music, their entrances, and then the match. It had such a powerful feel to it. And to think, I fast forwarded through that entire match when I rented the video as a kid.

Another was the first ladder match between the Hardy's and Edge and Christian. I bought that PPV on the strength of that match and it was everything that I had hoped for and then some.

While it may not be up there with Bret vs. Owen at WrestleMania X, I consider this match between Motley Cruz and Jumpin' Jeff Farmer to be one of the most breath taking matches in a squared circle.
