Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker from Royal Rumble 1998. Their 97/98 feud is one of my all time favourites and I still believe this is the best casket match of all time. Yup agreed 100%. I often watch Ground Zero, Bad Blood & RR98 matches back to back. HBK had some very compelling matches in this period....work wise he was on fire as he made it his life's work to outshine Bret Hart. Also its comfortably the best casket match of all time especially when you consider who his opposition was in the rest...LOL. That bump makes me wince.....its knowing the damage that it done. It'd been years since I watched this match and I forgot how early on it happened! Crazy how incredible of a performance he was still able to put on after that.

Think it was 2 days after when he started to feel it....nearly sure He said that somewhere....it was like the Wednesday morning He couldn't get outta bed. just watched HBK vs Bulldog @ One Night Only. Jesus the legit heat on HBK here is palpable....it really is.

Punk vs Cena @ MITB 2011.
Great match....unique scenario...white hot crowd...brilliant ending. What more could you want. Pity they couldn't follow up on it properly....they had something huge here & wasted it.
I also would have had Punk win totally clean. If they had the stones to turn Cena shortly after and have him become a complete company man? We could have had something truly special.

I've been watching my bootleg Bruiser Brody DVDs. I just watched Brody & Jimmy Snuka vs Dory & Terry Funk from Japan. The ending saw Brody turn on Snuka, breaking up the team. This lead to Stan Hansen being Brody's new tag team partner.

Love the whole thing where he was facing the Nation too but used the truck to take them out.....

D-Lo getting backdropped into the windshield followed up by a stunner on top of the truck...man 2 great spots.

Followed this up with Austin vs Rock from the Raw after Survivor Series 1998. Underrated gem this one...when you factor in the previous nights screw job, Austins promo at the start with Mills Lane, the white hot crowd and the new level the Vince/Austin feud had reached? it was a cracking encounter.

Rey Mysterio vs Kurt Angle from Summerslam 2002.
What I really like about this match is while it's under 10 minutes long it doesn't feel short. They just go from the opening bell and they put so much into the match that it still has time to draw you in.

Austin vs Rock @ WM15
Austin vs Rock @ IYH: Backlash 99
great stuff both times BUT Backlash is better. Rocks face turn at the end of the match was superbly done. It had to happen...only guy he was getting booed against was Austin.

Technically the last match I watched was from Wednesday but in terms of classic matches, the last one I watched waz the first fall of Osirian Portal vs, Delirious and Hallowicked from Chikaras Grit and Glory show.

In honor of Gorilla, I watched his retirement match circa 1980 in Philly against Ken Patera.

Undertaker vs Edge @ Summerslam 2008 HIAC. Felt cheated at the time that UT hadn't got Edge busted wide open...but I understand now why....
Great HIAC encounter.
Batista vs UT @ SSeries 07 HIAC. Another great encounter......
