My personal two favorites were the HIAC at Wrestlemania and Punk vs Bryan at OTL.
Taker vs Triple H - HIAC: This had great buildup, from very well done hype videos, to awe inspiring promos by both men. The addition of HBK - Triple H's best friend and Taker's greatest Wrestlemania opponent to the match was genius. It added to the emotion of the match when Michaels was torn between his best friend and ending the Streak. The match itself had great classic wrestling and the use of weapons wasn't overdone.
Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk at OTL: This literally had one week of decent buildup. The rest was just Bryan screwing over Punk in the main event match on the Raw before the PPV. Of course, you couldn't expect much more in terms of build up since there were 3 weeks till OTL. But where the match fell short in hype, it was made up for in wrestling. I haven't seen such good wrestling in a WWE match in a while. That was without a doubt the best wrestling match in years. Hopefully we'll be able to see future matches from these guys, with more time, and good buildup. That would make it a 5 star match for sure.
Overall, I enjoyed the Taker vs Triple H match more, because the buildup sucked me in, and the match was better than expected.
