First wrestling topic thread I've made in probably a year or two and I miss friendly discussions about the business so I was thinking about this question. What are those moments in wrestling history that you still get goosebumps from and completely mark out even though you have seen it a thousand times?
I have a big list so I'll just name a few with no particular order. I'll start off with seeing Scott Hall debut on Nitro. " You know who I am, but you don't know why I'm here. " That was a golden moment in wrestling history and it still gives chills down my spine. It was played perfect with speculation that WWF was invading WCW.
Then there was the time D-Generation X really invaded WCW. Too bad they didn't let them in. Lol
Chris Jerichos WWF debut is another great one. The crowd new it was him but the debut was still amazing with the clock down and confrontation with the Rock.
Foley/Taker hell in a cell. I know it's on my list and I'm sure everyone else still marks out when they see it as well.
Rock/Austin from Wrestlemania 17 is on here as well. Just watching the pre match promo gives me goosebumps.
Edge spearing Jeff Hardy from the top of the ladder at Wrestlemania 17. That spear may have shortened his career but it's a moment we will never forget.
Triple H returning at MSG in 2002 was a big one for me because he was my favorite at the time and the crowd reaction was priceless.
Any of the HBK/Triple H matches from 02 through 04.
Edge cashing in the money in the bank on Cena. First time a mitb was cashed in and I was shocked.
Edge spearing Foley through the flaming table at Wrestlemania 22. First time someone went through a flaming table in WWE and it is the most extreme way I have ever seen a flaming table used with one man spearing another man through one.
Cena vs RVD at One Night Stand. It's one of my favorite matches of all time. Not because of the match itself but the hatred towards Cena was insane. Plus I'm a big RVD fan myself so seeing him finally win the WWE Championship was a good feeling.
Not a Cena mark by no means but him returning at the Rumble in 08 is another mark out moment for me. Nobody had any idea he would return that night and the fans went nuts. A lot of Rumble winners are predictable but that Rumble was far from in it.
The Orton/Triple H match at Wrestlemania 25 was awful but every thing leading up to that match was must see for me. I mark out when I see Orton punt Mr. McMahon in the head or when he DDT'd Stephanie and sealed it with a kiss while her husband watched while handcuffed to the ropes. Then Triple H breaking into his home and throwing him through his living room window. Must see TV.
HBK/Undertaker at Wrestlemania 25 was a gift of God. The match at Wrestlemania 26 was great too but there first Wrestlemania match, every time I watch it, I am sitting there in awe of how great it was.
CM Punks pipe bomb. I certainly didn't see it coming and I could watch it over and over. One of the best promos of all time.
Punk beating Cena and walking out of Chicago with the WWE Championship. The match was unpredictable with Punk's contract coming to an end and it was great storytelling, especially the kiss CM Punk blew to Mr. McMahon before leaving through the crowd.
Lesnar returning to Raw and hitting Cena with an F-5.
The most recent one would be Daniel Bryan turning on Wyatt and him on too of the cage with the crowd chanting Yes! I did not see a single person sitting down.
I got a little carried away but being a wrestling fan, that's probably not even a fourth of my list.
