Seriously no one ever talks about this match and this is one of my favourite matches, I would even go as far to say this is the best John Cena Match of all time
Other matches i would pick, Austin vs HHH 3 stages of hell and John Cena vs Edge vs Randy Orton vs Shawn michaels
Austin vs Triple H @ No Way Out is underrated now? Meltzer gave it 4.75 stars, and most people on here (including yours truly) cite it as Triple H's best match.
An underrated match, I'd say, is Edge vs Ric Flair TLC match on RAW 2006 (01/16/06). Edge was on fire at the time, and Flair was the perfect babyface for him, especially in North Carolina. I recall old man Flair's taking some wicked bumps in that match too.
The Haitch vs Booker T at Mania 19 for the World title.
A wrestling clinic, which got overshadowed by Rocky sending Austin's crippled ass to retirement-uhh, and Hogan whipping old man Vince's sexagenarian ass.
The promo leading up to the match were a perfect example of racial harmony in our great nation-uhh.
The World Championship match told a great story, and had a beautiful finish-uhh.
The good white guy, who was hated for being successful, successfully defeated the bad black guy, who was loved for being a loser.

The most recent one that comes to my mind is Cesaro vs Sheamus at Night of Champions. Aside from the ending, I thought it was a really good hard-hitting match that blew my mind as soon as it started, I only wanted it to go away as fast as possible
And speaking of Sheamus, Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan at Extreme Rules or Sheamus vs John Morrison at TLC are other great matches of him that rarely get talked about and where he truly shines as a worker and he can get really good when he tries hard ( but he can get really boring some other times too )
thats also my favourite ever cena match, a top class bloody brawl
im going to go with batista vs taker mania 23
better than every streak match except the shawn matches imo, told an excellent story with excellent pacing
People tend to overlook it when talking about Takers great WM matches but for me this was at least a 4.5* match and was a phenomenal conclusion to a year long smackdown rivalry, these 2 carried smackdown all year and put on the match of the night at the grandest stage of them all.
Benoit/HBK/HHH Backlash 2004 triple threat, which is coincidentally took place 13 years ago today. Their WM 20 match gets all the love, and it was a GREAT match. But this match was almost as great, as well. Don't get me wrong, it has gotten love before, but I feel it gets overshadowed by their WM match.
Jeff Hardy vs Undertaker ladder match for the title - Raw July '02
Cody Rhodes vs Rey Mysterio at Wrestlemania 27 the storytelling alone
Sami Zayn vs Tyler Breeze - Takeover
Fuck I dunno about all time but of recent memory, Owens vs. Rusev vs. Cesaro to face Cena for the US Championship.
If anyone remembers how good that entire segment was (the promos, Rusev's return, the match, Cena "commentating", Rusev winning, and Rusev vs. Cena afterwards) gimme a YEET.
Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns from Fastlane '15 doesn't get near the love it deserves. Many recognize it as a great match, but to me, it's an all-time classic. Will never stop supporting & singing the praises of that match.
Another one - HBK & HHH vs. Rated RKO from New Year's Revolution 2007. To me it was the best WWE 2-on-2 tag match ever until the Revival/DIY 2 out of 3 falls last year. Super underrated bloody Memphis like brawl.

That match was seriously good imo, happened at a bad time, I think WWE knew people were pissed when Roman won the Rumble, so they sent him out there with DB so they can show that Roman can go. Still got heat after the match though.
Quick question, are you a fan of Roman Reigns, or are there any other Roman Reigns matches you like.
Mankind vs HHH HiaC is underrated cause everyone thinks Taker's version is better. But I think it was just as hardcore if not more. Also Orton's hardcore match with Mankind was also underrated as well.
Puma vs Mundo was severely underrated, not only as a match but as an ironman match that was maybe my #1 favorite, maybe the Angle one I like more.
Rusev's US Title Run was underrated and Cena burying him was the worst thing the company has done since pushing Orton, when he should be used like Big Show, just a set piece not a big player.

I preferred this match over the Taker match, the feud was hotter at the time, it had similar spots to Takers match but it was longer and told a better story.
I'm going to say Eddie Guerrero/Big Show from SmackDown in 2004, if only because I saw it a couple times, didn't think it was that great, and then re-watched it years later leading it to become probably one of my ten favourite matches of all time. So in the sense of me seeing it and not giving it enough dues, it is underrated. In the sense of not many people seem to remember it, it is also underrated. Either way, I are winner.
Oh crap you know what match a lot people have seen that not many seem to think is great? The Hart/Michaels ladder match from 1992. Last time I watched it I thought it was really awesome from start to finish. To be perfectly honest I'm not sure I'd say Michaels/Ramon from Mania is better.

Sheamus v Big Show Hell in a Cell 2012 for WHC, they both had the most protected finishers in the company at the time and they absolutely kicked the crap out of each other for 20 minutes in a knock down drag out war.
Team Hell No and Kofi Kingston vs The Shield on a Raw in 2013, a 45 minute masterclass in tag team wrestling.
