As you can probably work out, there are 14 matches, but 6 brackets. Brackets 1 and 6 are 3 way brackets, so your decision will be even harder to make!
First Bracket:
Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle (Royal Rumble 2003) - These two put on an absolute clinic in this match! There was counter after counter and Angle eventually got the win when Benoit tapped to the ankle lock.
VS.
Shawn Michaels vs. Shelton Benjamin (RAW 2005) - On RAW there was a gold rush tournament that resulted in these two facing each other. It was one of Shelton's best matches to date, and it ended with HBK winning when Shelton jumped from the top rope and got hit by a Sweet Chin Music in mid-air.
VS.
The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan (Wrestlemania X8) - Icon vs. Icon. This was the match that everyone world wide had wished would happen, and it delivered. It was an epic encounter with The Rock the winner by the end of it.
Second Bracket:
Steve Austin vs. The Rock (Wrestlemania X-7) - The match was a classic and was the crown jewel of WWE's best-ever pay-per-view. Austin came away with the win, but nobody can deny that this was a great match. The image of Austin and Vince McMahon hugging in the ring after the match left everyone speechless.
VS.
Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker (Wrestlemania 25) - The best Wrestlemania match ever IMO. They had an absolute classic, and even now they are still recovering. At the end of it all The Undertaker won and kept his streak alive.
Third Bracket:
Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle (Wrestlemania 21) - There were plenty of great spots in this match. Angle got the win after locking in the ankle lock and HBK tapped out.
VS.
The Hardyz vs. The Dudleyz vs. Edge & Christian (TLC 2, Wrestlemania X-7) - This match built on the first TLC match to such a point that the participants didn't think it was possible to push the bar any higher. Jeff Hardy hung from the title belts and got speared by Edge from the top of a ladder. Matt Hardy and Bubba Ray were taken out at the end of the match after crashing through four stacked tables. Edge & Christian retained their titles after an excellent match.
Fourth Bracket:
Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho (Ladder match, No Mercy 2008) - Jericho ended up losing part of a tooth when he was hit by a ladder, but he went on to win the match.
VS.
The Hardyz vs. The Dudleyz vs. Edge & Christian (TLC 1, Summerslam 2000) - The original TLC match that can not be described. You've all seen it. You all know how great it was. Edge & Christian retained their title belts in an unbelievable match.
Fifth Bracket:
The Hardyz vs. The Dudleyz vs. Edge & Christian (Triangle Ladder match, Wrestlemania 2000) - This match is often thought of as the first TLC match because it was just that good. Edge & Christian retained after standing on a table that was on top of two ladders, and they used it as a platform to get the belts.
VS.
Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit (Wrestlemania XX) - There was a lot of back-and-forth action in this match. Triple H and Shawn Michaels suplexed Benoit through an announce table, but he recovered to win the match.
Sixth Bracket:
Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair (Retirement match, Wrestlemania 24) - This is the match where HBK's famous words "I'm sorry, I love you" came from. Michaels won the match after a Sweet Chin Music, and retired his good friend Ric Flair.
VS.
Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho (Ladder match, Royal Rumble 2001) - This match had one of the best chair shots ever when Benoit dived through the ropes and gets hit in the face by a steel chair. Jericho locked in the Walls of Jericho on top of the ladder, and later won the match.
VS.
Jeff Hardy vs. Rob Van Dam (Hardcore Title match, Invasion 2001) - This was the only title match on the card, and it delivered. Lots of high impact moves and plenty of reversals. RVD got the win after a frog splash.
