Off the top of my head in no particular order:

Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka @ One Night Stand

Brutal, Tanaka took a beating, and it was great seeing Awesome again. So many powerbombs, so many chairshots.

Hardys v Edge & Christian (Ladder Match) @ No Mercy '99

Probably my favourite match ever. 4 stars were born in this classic. They all took incredible bumps.

Hardys v Dudleys v Edge & Christian (Triangle Ladder Match)

Taking tag team wrestling to a new level, maybe even more spectacular than the No Mercy ladder match

Stone Cold v Triple H (3 Stages of Hell)

Both men took a beating. Amazing resiliance and two of the all time greats going at it.

Cactus Jack vs Triple H (Street Fight) @ Royal Rumble 2000

Absolutely brutal, Foley at his best. I loved the return of Cactus Jack, HHH sold it so well.

Undertaker vs Mankind (HIAC) @ KOTR 1998

Need I say more? This was iconic and unbelievable, I thought Foley had died.

AJ Styles v Jerry Lynn v Low-Ki (Triple Threat Ladder Match)

One of the 1st matches in TNA history, it is still incredible. Cradle Pileriver from the ladder!

Undertaker v Triple H @ WM17

The American Bad Ass! I loved that gimmick, and The Deadman and Trips gave a great show in this one at the best WWE PPV of all time. I loved the chokeslam off the tower through the table. Brilliant stuff.

Shawn Michaels v Chris Jericho @ WM19

Incredible match, proved HBK still had it. Amazing entrance too

AJ Styles v Christopher Daniels v Samoa Joe @ Unbreakable 2005

Too hard to pick a single match from their incredible series in TNA, but if I had to this would be the one. Daniels is so underrated.

Rob Van Dam v Jeff Hardy for the Hardcore title @ Invasion 2001

Most people won't get this, but I LOVED this match. Van Daminator off the stage baby! Man, the Invasion was awesome!

Kurt Angle vs Shane McMahon @ KOTR 2001

The match where Shane got thrown through the glass. An incredible match, Angle was on fire and Shane took some insane bumps.

The Inaugral Brawl- Invasion 2001

The ending to the PPV during my favourite period in wrestling EVER. Not a great match, but Austin turning heel made it so memorable.

Any of the Hardys v Dudleys v Edge & Christian TLC matches

All incredible matches. 'Nuff said.

Undertaker v Shawn Michaels @ WM 25

We were all blown away by this one, one of the all time greats. So good we got a repeat performance.

Hardy Boyz vs Dudley Boyz tables match @ Royal Rumble 1999/2000

The first time I had ever seen anything like this (I saw this before I saw the ladder match @ No Mercy 99), the Hardys became my idols after this one.

Kid Kash vs EZ Money @ Anarchy Rulz 2000

No one will remember this, but it blew me away. A personal favourite. Kid Kash was amazing at this point, he did his springboard jump from 1 rope to another then a flip to the outside, I saw the Moneymaker for the 1st time, and he took the "Confederate Crunch" from Chris Hamrick (a leg drop from the top rope...standing on someone elses shoulders)- INSANE. Plus Kash took a brutal botched powerbomb after the match.

Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn @Living Dangerously 1999

Both men at their absolute best. One of the best of all time in my eyes, something really special. Lynn is a phenomenal performer.

The Rock vs Mankind @ Royal Rumble 1999

This was the 1st PPV I ever bought. I could not believe Foley took such a beating. I have never seen so many chair shots, and when he fell onto the lighting equipment, my mouth dropped open. Spectacular, brutal and brilliant.

Tazz vs Jerry Lawler (Strap Match) @ Unforgiven 2000

I had to throw this on. It was a poor match but I marked the fuck out like crazy when Raven showed up and DDT'd The King. He was in the old school ECW denim shorts, leather jacket and looked cool as hell. A personal favourite moment

I feel bad for not putting the Ric Flair v Shawn Michaels match from WM on the list, so if you want to be picky, take off the Raven debut and put that on the list, it certainly deserves a spot.
