The Whole F'N Show!
I was and still am a huge RVD fan. My dad got me ECW bootleg tapes off a guy he knew from the pub in the 90s and RVD was one of my favorites. His short run as Mr. Monday Night was amazing and he was by a mile the highlight of the Invasion. I still think to this day that they should have put the belt on him at No Mercy 2001, even if it was just for a few weeks or even if Austin took it back the next night. in 2001, RVD could have broken out as a main event guy, he was so over.
I am just doing my top five, but they are,
RVD vs Jeff Hardy: Invasion 2001 (I actually liked the Invasion and this was my favorite match from it)
RVD vs Jerry Lynn: Living Dangerously 1999 (these guys always delivered)
RVD & Sabu vs The Eliminators: Cyberslam 97 (I loved RVD and Sabu together)
RVD vs John Cena: One Night Stand (what a match and what a moment!)
RVD vs Steve Austin vs Kurt Angle: No Mercy 2001 (RVD should have got the title here, but this is one damn underrated triple threat match)
I just love RVD, plus he is an action figure guy and he always comes across as an absolute genuine dude who is super likable.

I just want to add one that most people won’t, his match against Balls Mahoney from Anarchy Rulez ‘99 is a hidden gem

I don't know if I can do a Top 10 but I can definitely tell ya my favourites...
Vs. Sabu - All the 1996 matches they had against each other
Vs. Eliminators w/ Sabu has partner - All the matches in 1996 and 97 they had
Vs. Tommy Dreamer - November To Remember 97
Vs. Jerry Lynn - ECW Hardcore TV July 1998
Vs. Lance Storm - Guilty As Charged 99
Vs. Jerry Lynn - Living Dangerously 99
His WWE and TNA stuff, meh. Nothing sticks out any different than the other for me. All seemed very routine like compared to his ECW matches.

I'm just here to judge anyone that doesn't have any of his matches with Jerry Lynn on their list.

Honestly I couldn’t name 5 RVD matches let alone 10 at this point. I didn’t watch ECW back in the day because it aired at 2am and I had to be up for work at 5 am. Plus I hated they aired it like an infomercial.

Wow,man, I never realized that was edited. I figured they were just working a quick wwe-style match. I absolutely love their match from Hardcore Heaven 99. |

Honestly, the more top 5 or 10 threads there are I find myself realizing I don't really rank much in wrestling.
I have a top 5 for favorite wrestlers but anything other than that is interchangeable.
That said, I know I've seen a ton of great RVD matches but I can't rank them.

Basically any match vs Jerry Lynn. Absolutely incredible. Almost all of his ECW stuff was his best. He was still good in the WWE but it was watered down.
Best WWE match I say is the ladder match with Benoit at Summerslam 02.

During his returns in 2013/2014 I'd say he had some good matches with Jericho, Orton, Christian, Rollins, Del Rio etc.
