In no particular order, here’s mine. What’s funny is most of mine were already on WWE’s greatest of all time list.
  1. Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar (Smackdown 2003)
  2. Hulk Hogan vs. The Ultimate Warrior (WrestleMania VI)
  3. Triple H vs. Chris Jericho (Fully Loaded 2000)
  4. CM Punk vs. John Cena (WWE Raw 2013). It was the #1 contender match to see who would face The Rock at WrestleMania XXVIII.
  5. The Ultimate Warrior vs. Macho Man Randy Savage (WrestleMania VII)
  6. Royal Rumble Match 1992
  7. Goldberg vs. DDP (WCW Halloween Havoc 1998)
  8. AJ Styles vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Low-Ki (TNA Ladder match)
  9. Lex Luger and Sting vs. The Steiner Bros. (WCW Superbrawl)
  10. AJ Styles vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Low-Ki vs. Psicosis (TNA)
 
I grew up in a house where we watched professional wrestling, so I love it. My dad’s last social outing before getting horribly sick with cancer (he died four months later) was to go to a wrestling match.

However, I will confess that when I read this question, the answer that came to my mind was that huge wrestling match/fight between Peter Griffin and the Giant Chicken on Family Guy!

Agree, mostly, although I’d put Undertaker v. Mick Foley (Hell in a Cell) somewhere near the top!😛

I like Mick Foley so I’d also include the Cactus Jack & Terry Funk’s King of the Death Match. I’m not a big fan of gory, trash wrestling, but that match was something else.

I’d also include Hogan vs. Andre from Wrestlemania III. It wasn’t a technical masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but if you were alive and following wrestling at the time, the moment when Hogan hoisted the 9 foot tall, 1200 pound behemoth off the mat and slammed him back down was one of the most exciting moments of the 80s. If I remember right, the collective cheer from the 287,912 people in the Silver Dome that night set off seismic alarms as far away as Memphis.

Seriously!? The Rock is not in any of your top ten?

That’s pretty funny.
 
When I was a little girl, I think even before I started school, I used to watch with my Dad. He liked to watch.

Back then the famous wrestlers were Bruno Sammartino (who is still alive and well I learned), Andre the Giant, Haystacks Calhoun, Mr. Fuji , and Chief Jay Strongbow.

(I had to google some names to jog my memory)
 
Don’t forget Bo Bo Brazil and The Shiek and their matches. May they RIP. :cool:
 
Haven’t followed it long enough to have an opinion on the OP, but just wanted to say that my husband, my 20-year-old son, and I were at WWE Road to Wrestlemania last night at the Pan American Center in Las Cruces, NM.

Sold out arena, awesome show.👍

Our only disappointment was that Roman Reigns wasn’t there.😦

I remember watching late night wrestling on cable (I think WOR carried it). I loved Jimmy Snuka, but I also remember Bob Backlund, Sgt Slaughter, and I think Mr. Fuji did tagteam, but I can’t remember his partner.
