Nice choice with the **** matches.

One of the first matches that comes to mind for me is Ultimate Warrior vs. Randy Savage at Summerslam '92.  Everyone remembers the Main Event of Bulldog vs. Bret, but this one hardly every gets mentioned, maybe its the poor finish, but this match was great, for nearly 30 minutes these 2 had a classic, but most just remember their first battle at Wrestlemania VII.

Back in 2001 on Metal, Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible had a great technical match, Credible faked an injury, referee was going to wave the match off, then he cheap shotted Lynn, Lynn played the face in peril most of the match but just snatched victory, it stood out because the show generally featured short, matches with no thought, I loved this match.

Rockers vs. Barbarian and Haku, Wrestlemania VII.  I loved The Rockers as a kid and used to get old WWF VHS tapes from Blockbuster Video and for some weird reason WWF seemed intent on jobbing them out.  Wrestlemania V and VI they lost to Twin Towers and Orient Express.  They had Summerslam defeats in 6-Man action and also tag action to Power & Glory, they rarely won, so to see this great opening 10 minute victory, I really enjoyed it, classic big guys vs. small guys, Rockers trying to combat the size difference with great double team moves.
