    Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels.. WWE Wrestlemania 21 2005
    Voted HBK-Taker at WM 25, just cos I was at it and it was surreal to see live.

    Rob Van Dam vs John Cena.. ECW One Night Stand 2006
    Bret/Austin WM13.

    This match was a huge turning point for the WWF in taking over WCW in the ratings war.

    Austin went into the match as the heel & left as the face & Bret went into the match as the face & left as the heel. I'd never seen anything like it before, it changed the whole way i thought about wrestling & I think it gave Vince a few ideas aswell.

    The match was fantastic swinging one way to the other & who will ever get the iconic image of Austin in the sharpshooter & the blood running down his face.

    It was the peak of one of the best & most intense rivalries in wrestling history.

    Shawn Michaels vs Triple H.. WWE Summerslam 2002
    Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi vs Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue.. AJPW 1995 for me.

    Just something about it that I really enjoy. Everything that happens, happens for a reason and it all builds to an amazing finale. All four guys put in great performances and the heat was also off the chart.

    The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin.. WWF Wrestlemania X-7 2001
    Probably technically the worst wrestling match on the list (apart from the Mankind / Taker king of the ring match). But for me this is sports entertainment / professional wrestling reduced down to it's purest form. Two entertainers at the top of their game, who can make the crowd go mental with a three minute test of strength! The atmosphere is electric, and both these men had the crowd in the palms of their hands.

    Once you forget the bad reputations that Hogan and Warrior have built up over the last decade or two, and look at this match through the eyes of a mark, I think you'd agree it's an epic clash of gods.

    Look at the amount of matches HBK was voted for in the first 25 matches alone, speaks absolute volumes of the man..

    Personally gone for RVD vs Jerry Lynn, probably the greatest match in the history of ECW.. And certainly one of the greatest matches of all time imho

    Of that list I plumped for HBK Vs Y2J and Bret Vs Austin.

    Why is Angle Vs Shane there for?

    Basically 100 matches in the 4 polls, with top 10 matches from each poll going into one large "Boards PW Forum Greatest Matches of All Time" thread.. And since it eveyones suggestions and indeed votes its legimately that..

    essentially why i picked it and why it is my favourite match ever even though i would never say that it is the techical best match ever.

    Voted for Bret/Austin on that list as it was such a good way of setting up a double face/heel turn and just a great match in general when Austin could still very much go in the ring.
