Got this from Dave Meltzer's site today. I don't know who voted on this, but I can think of quite a few missing matches here. Thoughts?
Rock-Cena and Rock-Austin don't even belong on the list. Flair-Von Erich at the time was pretty huge, but I can't see it being top 10 ever.
I'd add these for starters:
Flair-Steamboat from the Superdome
Steamboat-Savage from WM III
Hogan-Warrior from WM 6
Flair-Funk 'I Quit' match
Michaels-Hart Ironman match
WHAT WAS THE MOST FAMOUS MATCH IN WRESTLING HISTORY?
Hogan vs. Andre WrestleMania III 56.0%
Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels Montreal 24.7%
Antonio Inoki vs. Muhammad Ali Tokyo 4.9%
Frank Gotch vs. George Hackenschmidt II 3.6%
The Rock vs. John Cena 2.1%
The Rock vs. Steve Austin WM 17 1.8%
Pat O'Connor vs. Buddy Rogers Chicago 1.6%
Funks vs. Bruiser Brody & Jimmy Snuka 1982 tag tourney final 1.6%
Fred Blassie vs. John Tolos Los Angeles Coliseum 1.3%
Ric Flair vs. Kerry Von Erich Texas Stadium 1.0%
Rikidozan & Masahiko Kimura vs. Sharpe Brothers 0.8%
Keiji Muto vs. Nobuhiko Takada Tokyo Dome 0.5%
