The Hogan/Andre rematch on a Friday night special ('The Main Event') WWF did about a year later did a 15 rating (33 million viewers), which is still the highest rated wrestling show ever.
vs , where the smiling guy is the badguy and the mean looking one is the hero, naturally
Kurt Angle (c) vs Brock Lesnar, WM 19
This will probably be bagged on, its a poor choice strategically and its not even rated that high by most people compared to some of the other [undrafted] matches and will probably be considered charity those people who follow as i can easily argue why at least four WWF/E matches should have been picked first, but i set out to draft a card that i would want to see and Kurt vs Brock is (nearly) my perfect match.
A heel working a bodypart of the face, some great suplexes, technical wrestling with submissions, transitional moves and counters, minimal rest holds and a go home that will never be forgotten. For the wrong reasons, admittedly.
Spoiler:
"Dont sweat it Mr McMahon, ive done loads of shooting star presses in OVW"
Brock during booking
"owwwww, i have a massive concussion and nearly died"
Brock after the match
But yeah, if we pretend like Tazz did on commentary that Angle moved out of the way it would have been the perfect match
It's a very good match and I would love to see another rematch, even now. Everything I read at the time said that Brock didn't want to do the shooting star but was 'coerced' into doing it. I still can't believe that he actually attempted it from that far away instead of moving Angle closer and watching him crash and burn was a true Holy **** moment. It might not be the most obvious choice but I would order any card with that as a headliner.
I've got an easy top two on my draft board available, so I'll know where to go immediately upon Dylan/Burdz's pick. I am taking off for a poker tournament in 90 minutes though. I guess if my spot doesn't come up by then I'll PM my pick to Phill.

I think I know what two matches you have in mind and we will be taking one of them.
I have a definite preference between the two, and I think you're going to take it, but can quickly make peace with the alternative. I thought I was going to end up doing far worse at #7 either way.
Dylan and I take the greatest match between those of these types of guys ever at a Wrestlemania:
Spoiler:
Spoiler:
Jerry The King Lawler vs. Michael Cole (with Jack Swagger) with special guest referee Stone Cold Steve Austin
Spoiler:
No one cares about UNDRAFTEDS streak when Michael Cole is 1-0 all-time at Wrestlemania! This match had it all - gratuitous interference, near-falls, PG-rated hardcore action, and even a swerve from the most beloved Raw GM of all-time, the Anonymous Raw GM! It might not be up to par with that Survivor Series match where Jerry Lawler tagged with a bunch of royal midgets, but this is clearly his best singles feud of all-time! As you can expect, WWE made sure no videos of the match were available on Youtube, since it's such a spectacle that it should be paid for, in full, and we agree!
W(orst of all-time)Mania Card:
Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Michael Cole (w/ Jack Swagger) with special guest referee Stone Cold Steve Austin
I think it's too early to go for tag matches, although if a great main event falls back to you then it won't really matter. There's several one on one matches I would've gone with instead, however.
This brings up the question of whether you can you still draft a match involving someone (in this case SCSA) who has been special ref in another match on your card.
Dammit, they basically announced they were going to troll draft when they formed the team but I got fooled when they said they were going to draft one of the ones I was setting to pick.
I recommend the thread come down on them with a thousand lightning bolts and that Phill grant them the ability to amend this pick with remaining undrafted matches, but in the meantime I'm going to take my pick.

I say yes fwiw.
I see no reason not to in the strictest interpretation of the rules, though it might reflect badly in how others view your card i guess. You can draft multiple matches refereed by Hebner and i dont see it as much different to that.

This. There were others that wanted to be in this that would've taken it seriously.
