Definitely not the right thread, but all this talk of star ratings has me thinking: What is you all's favorite match? If you could only watch one match for the rest of your life, what would it be?
For me, it's Shawn vs. Kurt Angle from WM21.

Then I get into a mood where I want to watch Punk-Cena MITB.

What you’ll notice here is I probably have some matches listed that meltzer would shit on or give less than 3 stars to. For me, storyline plays such a huge role in my investment of the match as well. My baby daughter is having a fun bout with gas this morning so I tried to lay out what I could remember here. I bet I have some favorites missing here. I clearly listed way too many and got away from the assignment here. I think I’d take that Taker - HBK match at 25 if I had to just pick one but sound on, Rock vs Hogan with how invested I was….man those feels are tough to beat.
Hogan vs Savage, Wrestlemania 5 (the finish is lame) Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior, Wrestlemania 6 Savage vs Warrior, Wrestlemania 7 Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper, Wrestlemania 8 Ric Flair vs Randy Savage, Wrestlemania 8 Bret Hart vs British Bulldog, Summerslam 92 Bret Hart vs Owen Hart, Wrestlemania 10 Steve Austin vs Triple H, No Way Out 2001 Austin vs The Rock, Wrestlemania 17 Kurt Angle vs Benoit, Wrestlemania 17 Hogan vs Rock, Wrestlemania 18 Kurt Angle vs Brock Lesnar - Ironman Match, Smackdown 2003ish? Kurt Angle Brock Lesnar, Wrestlemania 19 HBK vs Trips vs Benoit, Wrestlemania 20 HBK vs Angle, Wrestlemania 21 HBK vs Undertaker, Wrestlemania’s 25 & 26 Undertaker vs Triple H, Wrestlemania 27 (I thought the latter one with HBK as ref was overbooked. I legit thought multiple times that H was going to end the streak) Rock vs Cena, Wrestlemania 28
John Cena vs. CM Punk, Money in the Bank 2011
Triple H vs. Cactus Jack - Royal Rumble 2000
Kurt Angle vs. The Rock vs. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin vs. Rikishi vs. The Undertaker vs. Triple H, Armageddon 2000
Any Triple H vs The Rock match
Random wcw thoughts There was an outstanding DDP (c) vs Sting match on Nitro in 99 I believe.
Goldberg vs. Diamond Dallas Page, Halloween Havoc 1998

I love every single match you listed, WR.
And you are correct about the Sting/DDP match. That was 4/26/99 and it was the best match in the history of Nitro (in my opinion). I'm glad you remember it. A lot of people have forgotten about that match.

Do we have a thread for best TV matches in wwe and wcw history only? There’s some great stuff out there we forget about because it’s not the payoff match.
I’ll tell you another fun one. I think it was the raw before mania 18. We got Rock & Austin vs nWo. First time and only time I believe we had Austin and Hogan in the same ring with them both established. (Did they ever have a match in wcw?) That was a wild sight just to see. And I think Hall delivers and awesome stunner on someone. Or I am misremembering and thinking about a stunner he took and sold so well. Maybe both happened and were awesome.
