Figure this might drum up some discussion.....here's a few goodies....

Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin - Wrestlemania 13

Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart - SS96

The Rock vs. Steve Austin - Wrestlemania X-7

Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart - Wrestlemania X

I just wanted to kick start this with a few matches..........anymore you guys want to add?

Steamboat / Savage WMIII for me.

The Hart Foundation v. Steve Austin, LOD, Ken Shamrock, Goldust - From Canadian Stampede. Not, IMO, the "OMG GREATEST MNATCH EVER~!", but it's a solid **** match with an awesome, fast pace match, and it just breezes by like nothing.

Kurt Angle vs. Steve Austin - SummerSlam 2001. Outside of the lame (but necessary) DQ finish, a great match that actually made Angle look good, instead of making him look like a goof.

Hulk Hogan v. Ultimate Warrior - Wrestlemania VI. Anyone who says Hogan couldn't work a good match should watch this. Biggest. Carry Job. Ever. Oh wait...

Randy Savage v. Ultimate Warrior - This was. Savage somehow pulled magic out of his ass and dragged Warrior to a great match with awesome emotions and psycology throughout.

You know, I've heard people herald those UW matches for years and while they were his best matches, I don't think they were great matches, especially the Hogan one, and I'm not saying it was Hogan's fault. That was just shoulder block after shoulder block. Hogan did a great job of drawing the crowd in though, and that's what matters in the end.

How about the Cage match between Brett and Owen? I think it was SS95?

Summerslam '94, the show that had Undertaker/Undertaker close the show out instead of the World Title Match. Bret Hart was on a fucking roll in 1994 on PPV. Got a couple of awesome matches on PPV with Owen, a great old-school match with Bob Backlund, carried Diesel to his (at the time) best match ever, and had a swank Tag Match at the Rumble.

You big sillies, yer' all wrong. Whatever the main event at the last WrestleMania was..THAT was the Greatest PPV Match of All Time. Since WrestleMania is routinely known as the Greatest Sports Entertainment Spectacle of All Time, how could its main event NOT deliver? There's your answer.

I would even put that up against the Main Event of WCW's Final PPV, Greed. That featured a main event of Scott Steiner vs. Diamond Dallas Page. According to Tony Schiavone, that reigned as the Greatest Match in the History of PPV...at least until Wrestlemania 17 came along.

Motherfuckin right. Great match, from what may be the greatest WWF/WWE PPV of all time.

I don't think anything really touches the 4 you mentioned, DK. Bret/Austin from WM13 is probably the one I would consider the greatest, although it'd be a tough choice.

You know what though, I love the Bret/Austin match from 13 but I would be so bold to say that Rock/Austin from X-7 may be the best Mania match............EVER.

Correction on my 10-Man Tag: I accidentally put "match" in the same sentence twice. I really need to read over my posts from now on, because I often change things around and leave stuff in that I meant to take out.

<---idiot.
