This is a tough one, Brock and Kurt nearly killed each other, and both were left worse for ware after it. Brock shows his toughness by being able to walk away from that Shooting Star Press and Kurt shows he's a freak by returning from the neck injury. When you know that now and watch the match, you wince at every bump Kurt takes, much like the Austin/HBK match at WM14. When you know they are gutting it out its just uncomfortable to watch.

But I never marked out like I did when Benoit finally won the big one. I had tears in my eyes, I was so happy for him. And since I was a fan of his since 95, I felt like I was there for the ride. Thuis was the pinnacle of his career and its just too bad he did what he did, since it tarnishes this match so much and rapes the memory I have of that man.

Edit: I voted for the wrong one, can someone change it to the Brock/Angle one. I don't know how to do that.

I changed the vote deezy. Took me forever to figure out since it doesn't say Edit Poll anywhere, you have to click the pencil next to the poll title.

I voted for Angle vs Lesnar here. This match was intense, they gave everything they got and that SSP to Angle who was more than half a ring away was insane and it is a lasting memory seeing Lesnar hit the mat and knock himself out but continue the match. The triple threat was a good match but it is tarnished.

This was a very tough call, as here you have two of the finest WM main events of all times. The performance Kurt puts in considering his injury was amazing, and the back fouth emotion of the match combined with great wrestling, and memenble spots makes it a classic for me, however given the crowning moment for Benoit (one of the most deserving title wins in history) after an awesome match where the three guys did just about everything, I just had to go for this. For me the triple threat is second only to Austin/Rock at X7 as far as main events go.

Wow this is tough, I have to go with the Triple Threat because the botched shooting star just killed the flow of 19 while 20 was just great, That is nitpicking of course but you have to do that when you have 2 epic matches.

I went with WMXX. Up until Benoit's death, it was still one of WWE's most recalled Wrestlemania moments. The match itself was great, as was Kurt vs. Brock, I just feel the triple threat edges it.
