That's a hard question to answer but trying to come up with a list I realized these were my favorite WWE matches the last three years.

Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena (Summerslam 2013)
CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan (Over the Limit 2012)
CM Punk vs. John Cena (Money in the Bank 2011)

I think I know who my three favorite WWE wrestlers are.

Michaels/Jericho from Wrestlemania XIX has a special place in my heart. It was my first Mania live and I remember saying out loud "that was the best match I have ever seen."

Just to give five answers (again these aren't my five all time favorites, just recent favorites and a personal special moment) I'll say Shawn Michaels vs. John Cena from Raw in England. I remember being dead tired when that match started and I was marking out pretty much through the whole thing even though I should've been sleeping.

[Germansuplex]

Bret/Owen (Mania X)
Angle/HBK (Mania 21)
Cena/Umaga (Rumble 07)
HBK/Taker (Mania 25)
Christian/Orton (pick any)

[Ryback on a Pole!]

1 - Triple H vs Foley - Street Fight
2 - Jericho vs HBK - Ladder match
3 - Jericho vs Benoit - Ladder match
4 - Punk vs Cena at MitB
5 - HBK vs 'Taker at 'Mania #2

This is insanely hard. I'm going to need to watch some matches and freshen my memory.

HHH vs. Cactus, Royal Rumble
Savage vs. Warrior, WrestleMania VII
Stone Cold vs. Kurt Angle, SummerSlam 2001
CM Punk vs. John Cena, Money in the Bank
The Rock vs. HHH, Backlash 2000

[Marty McFry]

Impossible to do in order...

Bret Hart v Mr Perfect (Summerslam '91)

Triple H v The Rock (Summerslam '98)

Triple H v Cactus Jack (No Way Out 2000)

HBK v Ric Flair (Wrestlemania XXIV

Triple H v Undertaker (Wrestlemania XXIX)

Wow, I've surprised myself with how often Triple H features. If I did a top ten I think he'd make another appearance or two as well.

[dersulbob]

Triple H v Shawn Michaels (non-sanctioned, Summerslam 2002)
John Cena v CM Punk (MITB 2011)
Undertaker v Shawn Michaels (WM 25)
Kurt Angle v Shawn Michaels (WM 21)
TLC 2 (WM 17)

[emperorthorn]

This is hard... so I'll just mention great matches that first come to my mind. In no particular order,

-CM Punk vs. John Cena (Money in the Bank 2011)
-Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena (Summerslam 2013)
-Rock Vs Hogan (WM 18)
-Rock Vs HHH (Backlash 2000)
-Austin Vs Rock (WM X7)

Honorable mention:

-HHH Vs HBK Vs Benoit (WM 20) - this is supposed to be one of my favorite match of all time... but then that incident happened, and I just can't enjoy it anymore.

[repomark]

Very difficult and varies depending on my mood, but let's go with:

Bret Hart v Rowdy Roddy Piper (WM8)

The Rock v Triple H (Backlash 2000)

Bret Hart v Stone Cold (WM13)

Shawn Michaels v Kurt Angle (WM21)

Shawn Michaels v Undertaker (WM25)

[Session Moth is over]

Bret Hart vs Owen Hart Wrestlemania X is my favourite match ever.

The other four would probably be

Shawn Michaels vs Mankind Mind Games

Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels HIAC Badd Blood 97

Shawn Michales vs Kurt Angle Wrestlemania22?

Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania 25

Special mention to

Triangle ladder match Wrestlemania 16
John Cena vs CM Punk MITB 2011
Shawn Michales vs Razor Ramone Ladder match Wrestlemania 10
Undertaker vs Jeff Hardy Ladder match Raw
Undertaker vs The Rock vs Kurt Angle Triple threat back at some PPV in 2001 or 2002

Like others, just off of the top of my head, Some of these I haven't seen in years, but can still picture them in my mind:

1) Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin, WM 13 (Being there just made it that much more awesome. Adding a live crowd amongst you can really boost a match.)
2) Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin, Survivor Series 1996
3) Ricky Steamboat vs. Randy Savage, WM III (The match WWF fans can point to and declare to the rest of the wrestling world, "Yes, we too can wrestle!"
4) Bret Hart vs. Roddy Piper, WM VIII
5) The British Bulldogs vs. The Fabulous Rougeaus, SummerSlam 1988 (Being the first match on the show, I've seen this match a lot. Once I get 3 matches in, I'm bored with it; but darned if that kickoff match didn't get my attention every time. Two of my favorite tag-teams.)

(If we were to be fair and include all promotions, I'm sure the Eddie Guerrero vs. Dean Malenko time-limit draw at ECW's Hostile City Showdown '95 and the Magnum TA vs. Tully Blanchard 'I Quit' match would knock a couple of those off the list.)

[J is Justice]

1. Bret Hart Vs. Mr. Perfect (KOTR 1993)
2. Hulk Hogan Vs. The Rock (WM X8)
3. Randy Savage Vs. Ricky Steamboat (WM III)
4. Bret Hart Vs. Steve Austin (Survivor Series 1996)
5. Randy Savage Vs. Utimate Warrior (WM VII)

How about some reasons why they're you favourites instead of just listing matches?

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

Eddie vs Brock - No Way Out - Both Eddie and Brock at their best. Great technical wrestling and great storytelling. Brock yelling "Just Die Eddie" was spectacular.
Punk vs Cena - MITB - Great suspenseful match. I had absolutely no idea how it would end, which made it awesome.
HBK vs Angle - Wrestlemania - What can you say about this other than this is what a wrestling match should be like. I loved the build up too.
Brock vs Taker - No Mercy - Just straight up brutal. This made Lesnar look like a Star.
Edge vs Cena - Unforgiven 2006 - My favourite bout between the two. Edge,in Canada, in a TLC vs Cena. What more could you want.
