Tough call. The Taker matches and Angle match are top three for sure, but the order is harder to work out. Maybe Taker I, Taker II, Angle.
Fourth would be Jericho, but I've never thought much of Mania XX. The ladder match is a good call, but given the job he had to do I think he showed why he's arguably the best of all time against Vince. That match was so, so much better than it would have been against anyone else.
I hate the Mania XXII ironman. That was a stupid match. The Austin match at XXIV was pretty good.
Yeah the Undertaker matches are probably 2nd and 3rd for me but I just want to show how great I think the Y2J match was and how it's on the same level as those 3 matches.
Angle then Jericho. Great matches.
After that I'd put the triple threat match at WM XX, but that's mainly because it saw one of my favourite wrestlers finally win the title. Was a good match with a great ending.
Taker 1 & 2 were great and probably my favourites.
Other memorable ones are Flair, Angle and Jericho.
Thanks Taker_2004 for the banner!
I think his best match was the Angle one. I've been rewatching some Wrestlemanias recently and that match holds up all the time, the story told in it is excellent. Then it's the Jericho match for me, two men that were so evenly matched going at it all the way, telling an amazing story and having a great ending to boot.
The Undertaker matches were awesome matches when watching live but now, I just skip them to the good bits, like when Undertaker misses the dive. Overall, I don't think much of them now.
The Triple Threat match, the ladder match and his underrated title match with Diesel make my top 5.
Taker vs. Michaels at Badd Blood in Hell in a Cell was much better than the WrestleMania matches. They were both in their primes, taking crazy, innovative risks with the inaugural cell and the debut of Kane.

Bulldog vs. Michaels at King of the Ring 96. Its always remembered for Stone Cold winning and his speech afterwards. But this was a cracking back and forth match with Mr. Perfect as special referee and Owen Hart on commentary.

Benjamin vs. Michaels - Gold Rush Tournament RAW 2005. This is fifteen minutes of full on action. Benjamin's break out match from WGTT.

Hmmm.. I think i'm going to just do a top ten in no order and also include non WM matches... cause otherwise it's going to be the same thing.
Ross, i was able to attend the 1996 KOTR ppv when i was about 13 or going to be 13.... can't remember what month it was... anyways besides Austins promo that flipped the crowd into his favor instantly... the main even with HBK and Bulldog stood out... i was on my feet the entire match loving it.... glad to see someone else enjoyed it.
Shawn has been in so many epic/great matches it's really hard to do a list as i know i'll forget great stuff.
Shawn vs Marty Jannetty on Raw 1993... the rematch i think.
Shawn vs Undertaker WM 1 (i mean the first of the WM matches they did.)
Shawn vs Undertaker - Hell in a Cell
Shawn vs Triple H - Summerslam 2002
Shawn vs Triple H vs Benoit - WM 20
Shawn vs Angle - WM 21
Shawn vs Razor Ramon - WM 10
Shawn vs Bret Hart - Survivor Series 1992
Shawn vs Diesel ( not the wm 11 match, the no holds barred one in 1996)
The Rockers vs Orient Express - Royal Rumble 1991
I already i left a ton of matches off... Jericho, Mankind.... i don't really care about the Iron man match with bret hart much... it's slow and way too long... i don't care how much either guy talks it up... they had better matches in the early 90s.
I guess the general consensus is one of the Undertaker matches. However, I think it was the Angle match that was his best.
1. Angle
2. Undertaker I
3. Y2J
4. Undertaker II
5. Triple H at WM 20 when it ended in a no contest and Eddie Gurrero came down to claim the title.
That's my top 5. I don't remember much from the 90s and I've never watched the ladder match with Razor Ramon.
