Much like the first thread wasnt for the most terrible matches of all time but more overhyped/overrated matches, this thread isnt for your favourite matches of all time, or the best, or the most well renowned, but for matches you really love that it seems nobody else does. Whether thats because nobody else has heard of them, or because nobody else rates the match as great is up to you.
Once again, this is the land of the un-hyped - no Shawn/Taker WM or some sh*t.
Proceed.
This isnt close to being my answer, but I actually thought of this thread on the back of mentioning the Batista Buddies tag in the Survivor Poll thread. I hope someone else remembers it, it was the time on Smackdown '08 where someone (Vickie?) was stacking the deck against Batista and had him face a 4-man heel team (La Familia?) with a collection of misfit toys as partners - Nunzio, Colin Delaney and a third jobber who's identity escapes me. And Batista, great man that he is, shrugged his shoulders, embraced his new buddies and they set about the match. It was a really novel idea and made for a really, really cool main event.
For an example of something that is supposed to suck, I think from memory I really enjoyed that John Cena vs Big Show PPV match from 2009 - was it a Submission or I Quit match or something? I remember enjoying it and coming on here to find every single person calling it the worst match ever. Its still used as a punchline, but I'll have to revisit it at some point because I liked it quite a bit live.
Following on from the Your "least" favourite matches of all time thread, I thought we should do the opposite.
