His match with Angle at the 2003 Royal Rumble was great. But I do understand why he was left off the list also. Where was RVD vs Eddie Guerrero ladder match from RAW? WWE did a good job with that list. To pick 10 matches over the last 10 years is really tough. I agree that Benoit should have been given some love.

I know, he's written out of the history books, and I completely understand. What happened was unjustifiable and tragic. However, that doesn't change the fact that before he lost his marbles he put on some fantastic matches. <br><br>I think Jack vs. Triple H from the Rumble would have been a great choice as well, but I can understand their choice of No Way Out from that year. WWE and the fans have both had massive love for Hell in a Cell matches, which made this the obvious choice, at least as far as the WWE goes. <br><br>As far as free television matches go, I agree, more love needed to be spread to some of them. Just because a match is on free television doesn't mean it's bad. What about the Ironman match between Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle that aired on Smackdown in 2003? You mentioned great matches from TV from just last year and the list has to be considerably longer if you encompass the entire decade.
