The triple threat is a much better match.

I'm going with the Triple Threat as well. The Edge/Foley match has some really great spots and I loved the feud, but the Triple Threat has outstanding actiotn and resulted in one of the best moments in WrestleMania history. Plus, the whole way the match was built, with Benoit coming in as the underdog and finally scraping out the win and his first WWE title, just a moment I'll never forget.

I went with the Triple Threat. Edge vs Foley was great entertainment and the two guys worked so well together. But the triple threat was a better match. The whole underdog story with Benoit and the emotion that followed it just topped it off.

[Hanley!]

I went with Edge/Foley.

The triple threat had lost a lot of its shine when I went back to watch it again. It was still a very good match, but I don't think it was quite the same. I thought the blading in the match was over the top, and superfluous to the story. And most of WWE's triple threats bother me, due to the lack of three person wrestling. It looks so contrived when there's always someone lying down outside the ring. Compared to the TNA triple threat in this tournament, which features some actual three person wrestling, this match pales in comparison.

Edge/Foley on the other hand was a very fun match that accomplished everything that it was trying to accomplish. The gore in this match wasn't superfluous, as that was the point of the match. It made Edge look like a star and a badass, but he still came off as a heel due to Lita's interference. There were some very memorable visuals and memorable spots - particularly the flaming table spot at the end of the match. I just think it worked better overall, and stood the test of time better.

Now what happened after the triple threat was obviously a fantastic moment (though it's since been marred quite severely), but I don't think that makes the match itself better than Edge/Foley.

I voted for Foley/Edge, too.

I actually had to watch both matches back to make my pick on this one which is the first time I've done so in the tournament and I just found myself enjoying the Foley/Edge match a hell of a lot more.
