The topic says it all.
In my opinion, it was The Undertaker vs. Ric Flair at WrestleMania X-8. Everyone remembers WrestleMania X-8 for two pictures; Rock and Hogan looking eachother in the eye, face-to-face, and Triple H hoisting the two World Championship belts into the air. Neither match was the best, in my opinion. That honour goes to The Deadman and The Nature Boy squaring it up in what in my opinion was the definitive Falls Count Anywhere match and the true Icon vs. Icon match on that card. People may forget this match, but it was probably the strongest match on the card.
Honourable mentions to Steamboat/Savage and Michaels/Jericho, but I'd say both have become "rated" instead of "underrated" through time.
So what in your opinion is the most underrated WrestleMania match of all time?

Chris Jericho vs William Regal at Wrestlemania X-7. It hardly ever gets mentioned but the two of them put on a fantastic match.

Chris Benoit vs MVP at WrestleMania 23. I never hear anyone talk about it but I thought it was awesome and it was that first match where I really started getting behind MVP and thought he could be a big star but unfortunately WWE never did anything with him past the upper-midcard.

MVP was awesome. He should still be in WWE holding the US/IC/Tag titles every now and then.
Jericho/Christian at WM20 Matt Hardy/Jeff Hardy at WM25 Mysterio/Orton/Angle at WM22
Though the last one should have went for 5 minutes longer.

I'd like to add in Mysterio/Rhodes from last year's WrestleMania. A decent build up with a great match. Both men told the story well, and the use of the mask and knee brace in the match really set the tone for the battle. Plus, this was the true beginning of Cody Rhodes from metro-sexual midcarder to legitimate title threat in the future.
This had to have been my favourite match from that show, even topping Taker/Hunter in my opinion, plus seeing Rhodes' tron for the first time with the Grotesque and Disfigured newspaper things was just awesome.

Pretty sure the only underrated out of those three is Edge/Del Rio.
The other two are probably the highest rated on their respective WrestleManias...

That is like the only match people talk about with WrestleMania 2000 apart from the Triangle Ladder Match. I never hear anyone talk about the main event.
