Is that the match that involved Benoit nearly braining Regal with a Dragon Suplex? Yea, that was good.

Absolute blasphemy that no one has mentioned Austin/HHH vs. Jericho/Benoit from Raw in May 2001.

 

Shit. I knew I forgot some stuff. That's in my top 5 for sure.

Here's TSM's composite ranking.

 

1. Steve Austin vs. The Rock (Wrestlemania XVII)

2. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit (Royal Rumble '03)

3. Triple H vs. Cactus Jack (Royal Rumble '00)

4. Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels (Wrestlemania 21)

5. Eddie Guerrero vs. Brock Lesnar (No Way Out '04)

6. Chris Benoit vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels (Wrestlemania XX)

7. The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan (Wrestlemania XVIII)

8. The Rock vs. Chris Jericho (No Mercy '01)

9. John Cena vs. Umaga (Royal Rumble '07)

10. Edge/Christian vs. Dudley Boys vs. Hardy Boys (Wrestlemania XVII)

 

Pretty solid list, in my opinion. Austin/Rock was a landslide choice, Angle/Benoit a solid #2, and then the balloting became much closer.
