Kurt Angle v Eddie Guerrero at Wrestlemania 20. On paper they seem like perfect opponents for each other but I thought the match was just fine, definitely not a classic or anything. Same with their Summerslam rematch.
I'm not big on Flair or Bret so I could probably list a lot of their matches.

Kind of an obscure choice, but after hearing Chris Benoit vs Al Snow from ECW Double Tables being hyped up so much, actually seeing it was a bit of disappointment. It's just Benoit beating the piss out of Snow for the majority of it and the comebacks of the latter don't really amount to anything you can take seriously. An okay match if you like seeing Benoit's offense but not much else.

Taker vs Punk wrestlemania I think it is a decent match elevated by how 1), every other match the two ever had together was absolute garbage, and 2), there are no other decent matches on the show. |

Taker vs Punk wrestlemania I think that match is probably better than I remember, but it was hard to bite on the near falls when there was absolutely no chance CM Punk was going to win. |

Bret vs. Owen at SummerSlam '94. Used the cage itself as a crutch and was just really boring as a result.

I don't know if this is considered a classic, but I wasn't totally feeling Eddie Guerrero vs. Dean Malenko in their last ECW match. The 2/3 falls match, I mean. I watched another one of theirs from before and it was good. The 2/3 falls match, however, I can see a lot of it is because it's a sendoff for both men from the Land of Extreme as they were going to WCW after, but I don't think it's a classic.
I haven't watched this personally, but was Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair at Wrestlemania XXIV really that good? Or was the hype about it just mainly about the emotional sendoff? It doesn't help that Flair didn't stay retired after that.

The black and gold era Takeover main events all blend into one after a while: kick, kick, kick, super kick to face, 1… 2… 2.9… Kickout! Kick, kick, kick, super kick to face, finisher, 1… 2… 2.99… Kickout! Kick, ki… and so on. The era will be far more fondly remembered for its tag and women’s divisions than the title scene.

I don't even know if that's that weird an opinion. For the bulk of NXT's existence the main event scene's been the worst part of it. |

Michaels/Cena hour long match from the April 23rd 2007 UK Raw. Done to fill the time of the missing Edge/Orton match and boy does it feel like it. Saw it live and just an endless parade of headlocks, wondered if it'd be better with commentary and camera angles and... No.

Hogan vs Savage, WM 5. I’ve said before this is one of the two WM matches I’ve never been able to get through in one sitting. The other has been mentioned in this thread already.
I’m not a fan of the Steamboat vs Flair trilogy, especially the 60 minute draw.

Saw it live and just an endless parade of headlocks, wondered if it'd be better with commentary and camera angles and... No. It’s probably the best match I’ve seen live. That or Sheamus v Gunther at Clash at the Castle. So this opinion has blown my mind! |

Outside of the demolition derby tag team ladder matches of the late 90’s/early 00’s, you can slot pretty much every beloved Edge match in here as my answer. Yeah I feel the same way about Edge. The guy is talented and deserved to get to the upper levels of the industry, but I never really enjoyed his matches THAT much, besides those ladder/TLC matches. |

HHH vs Rock Iron man match
Ten minutes of staring at each other doing literally nothing followed by a fall every 4 minutes followed by a botched ending. It’s WRESTLECRAP not wrestle classic

ROlins vs Ambrose for the FCW 15 championship. All three matches were absolutely awful to the point that it made me reevaluate Seth's ability as a performer and I was shocked when he was called up and didn't blow chunks.

There are so many matches that were universally acclaimed that I was just bored by. Name an NXT classic, I very likely consider it to be overrated. I enjoyed Nakamura/Zayn and Revival/DIY 2-out-of-3-falls. Gargano/Ciampa from New Orleans is my favorite NXT match ever. Beyond that, I watched a lot of those matches people raved about and didn't get the appeal. For a more recent example, I was the one sourpuss in the Revolution thread that wasn't a big fan of Takeshita/Ospreay lol
I like over-booked messes and hardcore brawls. Spot-fests with lots of kickouts and false finishes do nothing for me. It's about the story and the psychology. If the psychology is REALLY good, I can forgive some of that, as in the NXT examples.

Flair vs. Sting from the first COTC was a chore to sit through. It's alright but then it gets to a point where they are just repeating same spots and still it just keeps going and going and going.

Roman vs Lesnar at WM 31 pre-cash in.
It's just a boring squash followed by a finisher spam comeback.
