Tough to pick just five, and in order, but try these: (The bits in brackets indicate which tape its on from my list. Hey this is my board so I will advertise on it if I please!)
1. Manami Toyota v Kyoko Inoue, AJW (Best of Japan tv Jun-Jul 95). One hour time limit draw. These women did everything, high flying, mat wrestling, brawling. FOR AN HOUR!!!!
2. Ric Flair v Ricky Steamboat. Thay had a thousand awesome matches. My favourite is from 1984 in East Rutherford, New Jersey (miscellaneous Edits Vol I). Simply fantastic. Greatest in ring pairing ever. After 10 minutes, I thought this match was boring. Then they began to explode with near falls. I was watching this at home on my own, but still gave it a standing ovation when it finally ended after half an hour.
3. Edge/Christian v Hardys, ladder match (No Mercy 99). Nobody really cared about these teams before the match began. By the end of 15 minutes, all four men were stars. This got a standing ovation too, which is so rare at a WWF show.
4. Mick Foley v Undertaker, Hell in a Cell (King of the Ring 98). Technically not a great match, but has to be watched. Watching this live I really believed there had been a screw up, and that Foley was down for good. When he climbed off the stretcher I could barely contain my emotion. JR's commentary really helped too. putting the whole thing over great. His words are still stuck in my head "GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY, THEY'VE KILLED HIM!"
5. Rob Van Dam/Sabu v Hayabusa/Jinsei Shinzaki (Heat Wave 98). A total high spot festival. They actually bodged a few up, but the succession of huge moves (including a RVD splash from corner to corner!) made this tremendous viewing.
