From the list my nostalgia/memories is screaming 1-2-3 vs Bret.
Good list too, each match is memorable for being important or memorable, at first I was wondering where a Shield match or something else was, but despite them ALWAYS having Match of the Night a lot of the drama behind them was undersold (something that is a problem with the WWE these days) or highspots too rushed.
So yeah, my vote is for 1-2-3 vs Bret, followed by Undertaker/Jeff Hardy, followed by Punk/Cena. Not to say the other matches are bad, they're all great bar Flair vs Perfect. That's a bit dull though, only match that doesn't belong on this list.

I honestly might add Shield Vs. Wyatt Family there. I know it's recent but damn it was awesome!

I have a feeling Cena/Michaels will win, which makes my inner nerd all angry because for some reason I just could not get into that match at all.

I voted for Flair vs Perfect. I remember watching that and just being enthralled.

That Rock/Mankind match is the "butts in seats" match, right?

I'll never understand the praise for the Cena/Punk matches except MitB 2011. Every match they had after that one felt like a weaker rethread to me.

It had less storyline backing and so had to stand on its wrestling, and both guys were busting out moves they never usually do. I felt like it was an interesting sequel. |

Not voting for any of them since my initial thought was the TLC match from Oct. 2002. Just a jaw dropping exercise in mayhem and quite possibly the best TLC match ever, even better than the various PPV matches. Of the choices here I'd probably say Punk/Cena. In truth Flair/Perfect was terrific for the time but it doesn't 100% hold up two decades later.
Some of these have zero business being on the list. HHH/Cactus is an amusing brawl but has no real significance. Jeff/Taker is one of the most insanely overrated matches ever. Replace that with RVD/Eddie in the ladder match from the same era, which was a far better match.

I would have voted for HBK vs Shelton Benjamin from the Gold Rush tournament. That whole match was booked so well, from Benjamin's reaction to Shawn's music playing, the nearfalls with Shelton throwing all his best moves at HBK & not getting the win & of course the finish.

I'll never understand the praise for the Cena/Punk matches except MitB 2011. Every match they had after that one felt like a weaker rethread to me. What impressed me about this match and which is why I voted for it was the storytelling. We all knew going into that match that they were building for Rock/Cena II. It was clear and this seemed like a way to get a good main event on a RAW that would have little else going for it. But as you watch that match, there for a lot of moments for me where I thought Punk would win. I felt like he could pull it off. When he hit that piledriver (such a simple move and yet such a breathtaking spot at the time), I thought Cena was done. To take something so predictable and to make me suspend by smarkness for that match takes skill and reminds me of why I love wrestling. It was a great match that manipulated me into believing the story they were telling. That is why it gets my vote (although that is why many other matches on that list are so great as well, it is a tough choice). |

Taker/Jeff is not technically sound like others, but the crowd and JR made the match amazingly memorable.
