All Time... Biggest Match (by Company)

Post by Big Red Machine » Nov 18th, '13, 14:18

I figured this would be more fun to do by company. So... what do you think is the biggest match in the history of each promotion. Factor in hype, build, how big of a stage it was on, and a sort of Icon vs. Icon epicness factor.

I'll say that it has to have delivered on some level, in that it can't have been a total sh*tfest like Hogan vs. Warrior in WCW, but other than that, anything goes.
