In the interests of fairness I listed the big ones but I reckon its going to come down to one of 2 options........for me its IYH: Bad Blood. It barely edges out WM25 which is in 2nd place.
what say you fine folks?

Gotta go with the Cell match as well. From a bloody Shawn to the debut of Kane
Absolute stellar storytelling

From a bloody Shawn to the debut of Kane Absolute stellar storytelling Helps that I seen the Cell match live at the time and it blew me away with how different it was. WM25 was excellent for me but I knew what to expect and that UT was going over. with Bad Blood I hadn't a clue what was going to happen and HBKs fall off the side blew my mind. |

I always prefered the WrestleMania 26 one. I felt like the stakes made it so much more enjoyable and that jumping Tombstone was perfect.

Bad Blood for me.
I remember watching this with my younger cousin at the time and it was mind blowing. We kind of just take Hell in a Cell for granted these days, but seeing that first one live, which was only the second In Your House event to be shown live here in the UK was mind blowing. Taker and Shawn gave you everything that they had and then you had the extra sauce of Kane sprinkled on top. Who knows, if Vince had decided to use the Hell in a Cell concept with two other talent it could have been a bust and never actually became a thing.
Every time these two went toe to toe it was entertaining as hell.

Hell in a cell for me. Just phenomenal.
From all accounts I’ve heard, Michaels wasn’t the easiest to get along with back stage in this era, but was untouchable in the ring.

Badd Blood for me as well. Just an amazing match and storytelling all around. I would go with their WM25 match as #2. These two had amazing chemistry, it definitely helped that Shawn could sell really well which put Taker over even stronger. It also helped that Shawn never beat taker without any help, which kept the matches believable. I'm also going to shout out their Ground Zero match as well, it wasn't a true match as it was a brawl from the very beginning. Very nice set up to the HIAC match a month later.

I was brutally sick and just starting to turn the corner but was asleep half the day. I turned on Sky Sports to watch this and man...I still remember the "whoas" so vividly. HBK bounced like an effin pinball for UT. Also? that chair shot from UT to Michaels was an effin blinder. |

As much as I loved the 92 - 98 HBK, I picked Wrestlemania 25!
I just remember both matches when I watched them live and I honestly was more invested in the Wrestlemania 25 match than the IYH: Badd Blood match.
I remember thinking many times HBK was going to beat Taker at WM 25 in that match and vice versa and then we would get the big kick out and the match would continue on.
I didn't get that feeling with the HIAC match in 97.

As much as I love the OG cell match, and as great as it was...
The WrestleMania 25 match is the greatest wrestling match I've ever seen and I'll argue with anyone over it.
Clears every single objective for GOAT match

I was there live in Houston for their WrestleMania 25 match and it is easily one of the greatest of all-time.
Probably more partial to the Hell in a Cell match due to pure nostalgia. Crazy how they had been in the company together for so many years and didn't interact until 1997.
