Best WWF (WWE) Matches of All Time

Criteria: Simple match had to take place in World Wide Wrestling Federation, World Wrestling Federation or World Wrestling Entertainment. Could happen anytime or anywhere just has to be promoted by a McMahon.

Categorized by star rating. In chronological order within a star rating.

Watched within the past five years. (So if you don't see something obvious like Bret/Austin or Bret/Owen it is because I have not watched it recently enough to accurately judge it.)
