Most Unexpectedly Great Match?

Can you think of one match in particular which you didn't expect much from, but ended up far exceeding your expectations?

I will have to give this some thought, but a recent one which springs to mind is Cena v Umaga at the Royal Rumble last year. Seemed like your typical unstoppable face v dull monster, but Umaga really proved how great he was and the match had great psychology, as well as some awesome spots and a highly original finish.

i know i'll get pwned for this one but in all honesty... Big Show versus The Great Khali, i mean i was expecting big show to basically carry the match but Khali put up some great offence and i found it a bit better thn my expectation

Yeah, Batista/Taker at WM23 came to mind. I thought it would be full of rest holds and just be crappy, but Batista really proved to me that given the right opponent, he can put on a fantastical match.

Big Show vs Mayweather - Expected pure crap, but we got a MATNC.

Umaga vs Cena - Royal Rumble - Once again, expected crap, but got a MOTYC.

The Rock vs Triple H - Backlash 2000 - I expected a typical boring Hunter match, but this was one of the better matches in Backlash history.

Romero vs. Strong. I expected some okay matches but these two mesh up so damn well it is ridiclous! I can't get enough of their matches sometimes.

Benoit vs MVP @ Mania.... If I remember correctly no one expected this to be any good.

Then MVP showed us he was more than capable of working a good match.

I gotta disagree with that. None of the boards I posted on thought it was going to be terrible. They didn't expect it to be as good as it was, but it wasn't as big of a surprise as say Cena vs Umaga.

Meh, it was just the first thing that popped into my head. MVP wasn't appreciated much as a wrestler until after that match. I remember sitting down and being impressed, having thought very little of him before hand.

Probbably not on the suprise scale of Cena/Umaga, but like I said... first match I thought of.

Agreed with all the Batista/Taker, Cena/Umaga and Show/Mayweather nominations.

Also, Cena vs JBL - I Quit match, after their below average match at Wrestlemania I had pretty much turned against this fued but this match was pretty great.
