Oh man, that list kind of falls apart up at the top. Angle/Michaels at #2? That wasn't even the best match last year, and it's almost 40 spots ahead of the 2005 MOTY? God... Also, Eddie/Dean was a good match, but #3? It wasn't even their best match together. Then Benoit/Angle in a cage, while very enjoyable, is #6? Ahead of their far more dramatic and technically sound Rumble match? I think the list goes well until you hit the top 10, then there's issues.

I would comment but my mind just exploded.

 

Austin vs Undertaker at Summerslam ahead of Austin vs Rock at WMX7?

 

7 HHH matches are in the top 25 while Bret Hart only has one?

 

Shawn/Angle is the second greatest match of all time?
