I know it took place right in the middle of the Attitude Era and at MSG, but surprised that Austin/Undertaker from 1998 gets so much love since it really wasn't that good of a match. It was pretty clunky - especially once Austin got knocked out - and the crowd wasn't as hot as it should have been since it was a face/face match. They liked both guys so the end result made their overall reaction just feel kind of indifferent. I feel like Austin/Taker always had bad chemistry in the ring. None of the matches were horrible per say but they never really knocked it out of the park even though their feuds and promos were fire. Also, Hogan/Michaels at SausageSlam 05 is in my top 5 just for the way HBK stuck it to Hogan

I loved it. It was hyped up big time, Lesnar just competed in the UFC & Orton returned from injury. The brands were split again plus 2016 was just a great year. Seeing Lesnar vs Orton for the first time ever in a big time match, not including their rookie year in 02 on SD...a great feeling. Okay yeah there was hype for it but the actual match sucked lmao

Since Summerslam 2001 was the first with two World Title matches, can we count Austin/Angle just so I can pick that? Any excuse, I love that match.

I feel like the match still had its moments. It was just special for me seeing two legit babyface stars going at it during wrestlings peak.
