Which match in WWF/E history do you feel best fit the storyline leading up to the match? There was a recent post asking if Steamboat/Savage from WMIII holds up over time. I feel that the storyline going into the match must be known to give the match its due. Seeing the match itself without any back story could take away from it.
Many times throughout history, there would be a storyline where two guys would be FURIOUS at each other, or at least one would be furious at the other. (Savage wanting to kill Flair for disrespecting Elizabeth, for example) Too many times, you would have a guy who was ready to kill the other one---irate in interviews, fuming on TV leading up to their PPV match where he would finally gets his hands on him and tear him limb from limb....only to have them start the match with a tie up or test of strength. What?!? You spend weeks showing how mad you are and now you want to "work the arm"?
I guess you can go with matches that fit the characters, like the Jailhouse Match with Boss Man and Mountie. They would certainly make sense. But, I would also like some matches where one or both of the combatants went in steaming and the match actually reflected those angry feelings.
