Was about to say you were getting a little trigger happy with the classic threads

My Top 10 in no particular order:

For sheer excitement, when thinking of the context of the time, Hogan/Savage vs Dibiase/Andre has got to be in there. I always lol when I see Jesse Ventura's reaction as Elizabeth taking her skirt off
The others:

Bret/Perfect (absolute classic imo), Bret/Owen, Bret/Bulldog, HHH/Rock ladder match, while I really enjoyed HBK vs Vader at SS '96, with the Boiler Room Brawl still being one of the best brawls in terms of psychology and match construction. The top 10 is rounded off by Brock vs The Rock from 2002 (for the result mainly - signalled in a new era for the WWE imo), Orton vs Benoit (again for a mark-out result lol) and the HBK-HHH 'Unsanctioned' match.

As you can see, not all the matches are the best matches technically, but sometimes excitement and atmosphere counts for more imo.

2) HBK vs Hogan (Blockbuster Epic)

REALLY? Even with Shawn (Over) selling his ass off, this wasn't that good of a match. Hell, it was your typical Hogan match.

I'm kind of surprised that no one gives the Flair-Foley I Quit match from 06 any love. It had a clever finish, a lot of violence, and two of the greats going at it.

I would also add Angle vs Lesnar from SS 03. Strictly from a wrestling standpoint, its one of the best SS matches I've ever seen.

I refuse to give any credit to HBK vs. Hogan. I never really got into it because there wasn't that much of a connection between HBK and Hogan. They didn't merge as well as the Rock and Hogan did. HBK never really got onto the same level as Hogan, that's why it didn't work.

I would totally tac on the Rock vs. Brock, that was a great match, plus it was Lesnar's first title reign, plus, beating the Rock? Come on.

How about OJ vs. Benoit at SS 2005? Anyone? Anyone? Didn't think so.

Orton vs. Benoit was a pretty good wrestling match too.

I'm gonna steal that one..... ;o]

Couldn't remember if it was at a SSlam or not (aside from WM didn't they also face-off a third time?). Fuck Brock for not proving he CAN do a SSP in order to bury the ghost of WM19 tho'.... PUSSY!

Well, I ranked these matches on "most memorable" as said in the original post. Hogan/HBK featured 2 of the top 5 best wrestlers of all time in my opinion. Was it a 5 star classic, no way, BUT. I bet you all can remember the build up to the match. I but you name the year it took place and who won the match. You can even remember HBK over selling hogan. Just seeing those two one on one in the ring was somehting special. Plus, there was backstage heat between them both that made it even more interesting.

Maybe im a little biased with HBK, but i still that match was something special and will go down in history.
