I'm not talking about the obvious ones that are universally praised (Savage/Steamboat, Undertaker/Michaels, etc). I'm talking about the ones that usually fall under the radar.
I will post these as they come to mind, but the one I'm thinking about right now is Jeff Jarrett vs. Shawn Michaels at IYH Nashville, July 1995. I read a lot of online hate when Jarrett's HOF inclusion was announced early this year and there were a lot of people claiming that Jarrett never had a good match. I kept wondering if those people were choosing to ignore this one or if they had simply forgotten about it.
This match was southern old-school mixed with the 90s fast-paced style and for whatever reason, Jarrett and Shawn absolutely clicked in this match. The pacing, the psychology, the heat, everything was there. It's a shame we never saw these two guys hook up again, because they probably could have topped this. Just a great match.
What are some of your underrated favorites?

Need to think on this but one that stands out is Super Crazy vs. Tajiri from ECW Guilty as Charged 1999. They just really meshed well together and put on a heck of a match.

I remember hearing Johnathan Hood and Jerry Riles talking about this match on their wrestling show at the time, but I didn't see it until 2003. I also remember reading PWI and wondering "Who are these guys?" ECW wasn't really on my radar till mid-2000 unfortunately.

Regal vs Ultimo Dragon from Slamboree 97 is a WCW underrated one that immediately comes to mind. NWO was so dominant that you forget some of those workhorse matches that'd open PPVs.
One of my favorite Regal matches that no one talked about.
