Keep the ratings coming, don't let it drown with two ratings only!
I would Rate this Moment, 9/10. It was perhaps one of the most shocking moments for the NWA and it marked it's place in history.

10/10.... Didn't quite freak out about the stuff with the belt (was abit too young to have been aware of the politics of the biz at the time), but even him being their claming to be the "real worlds champion" was huge. RR92 was THE Flair show... SO awesome!
Flair/Perfect/Heenan what a fuckin' dream team!!!!

Mick Foley sacrifices his body for the entertainment of fans at King of the Ring 1998
Mick Foley, through his various personas of Cactus Jack, Mankind, and Dude Love, had entertained fans for years by executing risky moves, from which he suffered countless broken bones, contusions, sprains, and the loss of an ear. In June 1998, though, Foley raised the bar for all time. The Undertaker and Mankind (Foley's alter ego at the time) had been engaged in a two year long feud that was set up to be capped in a Hell in the Cell match at the 1998 King of the Ring pay per view. The event featured a cage around the ring that was enclosed on top; there were no disqualifications, either, so a winner must be declared. Rather than entering the cage directly, both The Undertaker and Mick Foley climbed atop the cage (about sixteen feet off the ground) and began fighting up above. After several minutes of this, the fighters pushed closer to an edge near an announcer table and suddenly The Undertaker grabbed Foley and tossed him off of the cage. Foley went headfirst through an announcer table after falling about sixteen feet, breaking the table into several pieces.
But the match wasn't over. After being carried off in a stretcher (since the match technically hadn't even begun yet), Mick Foley came back out to the ring amidst a reign of adoring cheers to continue the match. He managed to climb back up the cage where the brawl continued. After a few more minutes, The Undertaker once again picked up Foley, and once again tossed him down, expecting him to land on top of the cage, but suddenly the cage gave way and Foley fell headfirst about thirteen feet to the center of the ring. But the match wasn't over. Foley gets back up and the brawl continues. The crowd is going crazy by this point, so The Undertaker takes advantage of the crowd momentum to do something even more heinous. He gets under the ring, produces a steel chair, then smashes Foley in the head with it. After collapsing, The Undertaker picks Foley up and drops him head first onto the steel chair, after which Foley rolls over like a sack of potatoes. But the match wasn't over. After a bit, Foley gets back to his feet and the match finally gets underway. After some brawling, Foley gets underneath the ring and produces a bag of thumbtacks and proceeds to dump about two thousand thumbtacks out onto the ring surface. But The Undertaker takes advantage of this, picks Foley up, bodyslams him onto the tons of thumbtacks strewn about, and finally ends the match via pinfall. This match is an integral part of the legend of Mick Foley and contributed to his growing popularity, which would peak in the coming year with an even more compelling moment.

God, I have got to give that a 10.
That personified the Attitude Era, if it wasn't for that we may not have seen future classics like TLC or Elimination Chambers. That's some of the most replayed shit ever, up there with Hogan/Andre and the Screwjob. Foley created hardcore wrestling in the mainstream. Also something you could add in, when he got chokeslammed through the cell (which wasn't meant to happen) a chair which fell down too hit him in the face and two of his teeth ended up lodged in his nose.

The D-Generation X reunion
In 2006, a series of events occurred which hinted at a DX reunion. At WrestleMania 22, former members Shawn Michaels and Triple H performed the crotch chop during their respective matches, which was met with loud cheering from the fans in attendance. The two continued to deliver chops in the following episodes of RAW as Michaels feuded with Vince McMahon and Triple H focused on the WWE Championship, repeatedly running into Vince McMahon in the process. On the June 12 RAW, the events came to a head, when, during Triple H's gauntlet match against the Spirit Squad, Shawn Michaels came in to help his former companion. After the duo had laid out the entire Spirit Squad, the two men began to perform their crotch chops. The reunited DX continued their brash antics at the expense of the Spirit Squad, Vince and Shane McMahon and Jonathan Coachman for several weeks and repeatedly took part in blatantly camp product placement during RAW promos.Most of their antics involved practical jokes on Vince! DX was back and it was bigger and better than ever!

That was EPIC. It may not have lived up to expectations which loses some points, but there were some great segments and it was just an overall memorable moment. Awesoem feud with Rated RKO too imo, so that gives it some bonus points

It seemed by that time that the wrestling business or at least with WWE it began to go further, and further downhill. Then the hints of the DX reunion happened. At first I didn't believe it! Time went on and on June 12, 2006 D-Generation X reunited. The feud with Rated RKO was excellent. As well as I think it helped increase some of the ratings. Especially with the old Attitude Era fan base.

just a poor dx stunts but the build up with Vicne and spirit squad injuring HHH and HBK and than HBK returning and helping HHH it was classic just too bad that HBK was a born again christian and he can't do any of the stuff he used to without offending anyone.
