[Joejitsu22]

moments that standout:

3. everything else.

The emergence of Kane.

The birth of the nWo.

1) Kane debuts and attacks the Undertaker
2) Stone Cold flips off Mike Tyson
3) Mankind wins the WWF Title on RAW is WAR

[Daniel F'n Bryan]

1. Triple H's return in 02 (Vividly remember this because it was my mothers birthday)
2. Watching the entire 12 hour Wrestlemania 2000 broadcast
3. Orton winning the title from Benoit (I wasnt a fan of Orton at all but he was wearing orange trunks and that was my favorite color at the time and i marked like a mother er when he won)

Hogan/Andre Saturday Night's Main Event angle with the twin Hebners

Warrior beating Hogan at WM 6

Steamboat beating Flair for the NWA title

Flair vs. Sting and Windham/Luger vs. Tully/Arn at the first Clash of Champions

Savage winning the tournament at WM 4

Jake Roberts turning heel

Renting Crockett Cup '87 several times (Not really sure why, but I've always loved this show. The Windham/Flair match was awesome. The VHS tape of the event also had 3 Magnum TA matches on it, including the the "I Quit" cage match with Tully Blanchard that scared me to death as a 7 year old kid.)

I could keep going for a while, but these are the ones that stand out the most.

[fallbrawl]

I have been watching wwe/e for about 19 years now, here is a few of my favorite moments.



One of my all time favorite mark out moments, i was totally hooked on this storyline, it was great!!



Another favorite moment. ^^

I am a massive HBK fan.

[Deleted]

well since Im 32 Ill leave all moments to be 93 backwards......and WWF only came to TV in Ireland in 1988 so Im rather limited.still nothing will top these for me when I was 9-11

1)Hulk Hogan beating Savage at WM5
2)Demolition beating Collossal Connection at WM6
3)LOD smashing knobs and sags(whom I genuinely hate)@summerslam 91.

great times.

[Deleted]

Hogan/Warrior match from WM6.

Earthquake knocking out Hogan with his sitdown splash on the Brother Love show then Hogan returning on SNME for the 1st time for revenge teaming with Tugboat.

Nailz beating the holy heck out of the Big Bossman on Superstars.

There are so many more but those are the top three that came to mind right away.

Barry Windham turning on Lex Luger and joining the Four Horsemen. I was watching at my Great Grandma's house. From that moment on I found myself cheering heels for the first time. And I became a life long Windham fan.

Ultimate Warrior defeating Hulk Hogan at WM6. I was still holding a grudge against Hogan for defeating Randy Savage the year before. And I was praying Warrior would win. I remember Hogan hit the big boot and I put my head down in frustration. Seconds later I hear everyone yelling only to look up and see the Warrior splash. It was great.

Bret Hart winning his first WWF title. I turned on WWF's Saturday morning wrestling and saw the news. I immediately called my friend Seth who was a huge Bret Hart fan. He didn't believe me and refused to fall for the "joke". After several minutes of begging for dear life, he finally turned it on. All I heard was him marking out for what seemed like forever.

[specterkev]

Hard to say....

3.Quake squashin Damien... I will NEVER forget this moment... when i was a little kid i loved Hogan and Jake the snake,... man i bawled like a baby seeing him squash damien.. seeing Jake held up watching helplessly really got to me. I frickin hated earthquake with a passion after that... my mom said my brothers and I could no longer watch wrestling anymore after that... but we still did lol man when i got older and read that it was just hamburger meat in pantyhose i felt like a fool lol but it was a strong memory always in my mind.


2. my first live event... nothing special. a wwf houseshow... shortly after kane's debute, (like a week).but it will always mean everything to me... as well as going to nitro in 1999, in the last days before the major downfall it had in 2000

1. my number one greatest memory. like many others.. the formation of the nWo. This changed the wrestling world forever. I was 16... not quite a kid..but i still consider it important to me. When i was around 11, 12, i kinda strayed way from wrestling... me and my friend jason would tend to watch a weekend magazine type show once and awhile,.. by i was a VERY casual fan.... Then one day in 1996... i saw my brother watchign nitro.. We didn't really watch wrestling anymore and thoguht we had grown out of it... but man was I wrong.. I saw hogan in black..and he was...a badguy? what in the hell is going on here!!!!
BAM just like that.. i was instantly brought back to the days of when i was a kid watching all the time.. since that day.. I had been reborn as a hardcore fan, and I've been one ever since. If not for the nWo..i may not be watching wrestling now...

[Mike Giggs' Munchies]

1. Any Rock promo (there were so many)

2. My first live event (a SmackDown! house show in 2005 with a main event of Kurt Angle vs. The Undertaker, amazing match)

3. Wrestlemania XIX

LOL! Deja Vu man! i,too,turned away when i assumed the Hogan win was imminent,only to have my friend Corey yell at me "He missed!" only to turn back to see Warrior hitting the ropes and doing the splash! i didn't see Hogan miss the legdrop live!

Bret Hart too! turned on Superstars that Saturday morning to see it open with Mean Gene introducing the NEW WWF Champion, Bret "Hitman" Hart! i was like " WHAT THE HELL??!!!"

3.

Just the ending. I didn't actually watch this live, I rented it a few years later on VHS and watched it. Looking back, the ending was typical "Austin overcomes the Corporation and sticks it to them in the end" stuff, but at the time, I marked out big time. Especially when Earl Hebner kicks Bossman out of the ring.

2.

Orton was probably the first heel I ever rooted for. I distinctly remember getting into arguments on the playground, back when he was in Evolution, on who was better, Orton or Cena? Which is why this ending was so sweet. J.R.'s "RKO Outta Nowhere" call seals it as a memorable moment for me. It's just too bad this won't be played because of Orton's opponent.

1.

Bar none, my top childhood memory. This was before the internet ruined Wrestling for me . I had no idea it was going to happen, and even though by this time I was well aware wrestling was fake, I thought this spot was real. It suspended my disbelief, and I marked out like crazy. It passes every test as a memorable moment. I know exactly where I was and how I reacted. It was an amazing moment.

[T R W]

My 3 favorite childhood moments:

watching the Magnum TA vs. Tully Blanchard I Quit Match in person
Hogan vs. Andre at WMIII
Witnessing so many classic Ric Flair promos in person at TBS studios. There are so many great ones it's hard to pick one in particular.

[Burger Lad]

No order:

Warrior returning at WM8 (before the internet and not knowing where he'd been since Summerslam 1991 and was a HUGE Warrior fan)

Ric Flair returing to Raw (OK I was a bit older by then)

Seeing in one night live in London, Warrior vs. Undertaker, Bulldog vs. Perfect and Hart Foundation vs. Demolition.

And playing 4-player Wrestlefest on my arcade machine with 99 credits and about 8 of us. Someone eliminated, get to the back of the queue.

I listened to Royal Rumble 1991 scrambled and horrified when Slaughter one. Dad was on the phone the next day so Wrestlemania 7 wasn't! Great times

[Brad]

Mine aren't all happy moments but moments that evoked true emotion from me.



I cried like a baby when this happened. It was still real to me dammit. Lol



It was such a great feeling seeing Shawn win his first wwe title.



This entire Raw. Sure, I was 17, almost 18 and not a kid but it was my first ever Raw and I'll never forget it. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Me neither, I refused to watch. Couldn't stand Hogan even back then. My friends thought it was weird that someone they knew didn't love Hulk-a-mania. But I was all about Macho Madness growing up.
