So, I was thinking today, and in wrestling, moments occur, that you will never forget. I got to thinking of what I would never forget from my generation, and that is about 1999-now. I've got a few here that I want to put down.

When Owen Hart died at the Over the Edge PPV in 1999

-I was about 4 years old, and I just remember my parents crying, and finding out later what happened.

Chris Jericho Debuts in the WWF

-Will never forget that, and I still have goosebumps when watching it.

Chris Jericho wins the Undisputed Championship

-Just probably my all time favorite moment of all time.

Rock vs. Austin at WrestleMania 17.

-Probably the biggest match I had ever witnessed up to that point.

Chris Benoit wins the Royal Rumble and goes on to win the World Title at WrestleMania 20

-He was probably my favorite superstar next to Chris Jericho.

Kane gets unmasked

-Who doesn't remember that?

Eddie Guerrero wins the WWE Title, then successful defends it at WrestleMania, and celebrates with Chris Benoit.

-One of the few feel good moments I've seen in the WWE. You were just so happy for the two of them.

Eddie Guerrero passes away.

-The first, and one of the only times I had cried for the passing of a wrestler.

The Chris Benoit double murder suicide.

-He was my favorite superstar of all time next to Jericho, and It hit me hard when he died, and when the real story of the death came out later... unforgettable moment.

ECW is brought back.

-It was good at first, but then slowly died. I watched it faithfully until it's end, however.

Chris Jericho returns with the Save.Us_222 Promo's

-I'm a Jericho mark. What can I say.

John Cena returns to win the Royal Rumble

-Doesn't matter what I thought about the guy, the moment was surreal.

Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels 1, 2, and Shawn Michaels retires.

-One of the saddest moments in my time was watching Shawn Michaels walk away.

CM Punk wins the WWE title

-It's still fresh, but will always go down in history.

Vince McMahon is relived of his duties, and Triple H takes over

-Read above.


Now thats a lot more then I thought there would be, and there are a few that didn't make the cut, but I know some of you here are older then me, and would remember more. So, what are the moments in wrestling history that you'll never forget.

Without rewriting ones that you listed....

Shane Douglas wins the NWA Title and drops it, officially starting ECW.
I went to countless ECW events growing up. This was one of the biggest moments outside of WWE.

Mankind gets thrown off of the Hell in a Cell
The biggest HOLY SHIT moment I've ever witnessed.

Hulk Hogan debuts in WCW
Biggest name in wrestling going over to the competition.

Austin 3:16 speech
Started an era. I remember watching it live, and when he beat Jake Roberts and cut this promo I knew beyond a doubt that this guy was going to be big.

Shawn Michaels and British Bulldog go from start to finish in the Royal Rumble.
I was still a young fan at this point, and this made me honestly believe that these two guys were the greatest wrestlers at that point in time.

HBK wins the title for the first time
"The boyhood dream has come true!" That line will always stick with me. The emotion from Shawn and the crowd all just felt so real.

Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon for the IC Title 1&2
People seem to always argue over which was the better match so I'll just put both. Regardless of which you feel is better, they were both revolutionary!

Formation of the nWo
First year was great, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash could do no wrong and Hulk rejuvenated himself by turning heel. I was all about the nWo.

First time seeing Rey Mysterio jr.
Was doing things I never seen and was captivated by this skinny midget.

Steve Austin challenging Vader and Mankind
Since they were all heels, I thought it was cool and just made Stone Cold more cool in my eyes.

The Hart Foundation taking on America
Was just a good angle imo.
