I want to say Savage-Sherri because Sherri's outfit that night was for me, personally, one of the most memorable things ever in wrestling.

But I think that may actually be the right answer. Between the Savage retirement implications and Elizabeth's dramatic return, plus the simple fact that Sherri was smacking the crap out of a defenseless former WWF champion, it was just a huge, huge deal.

Savage and Elizabeth's split was less definite (remember, she was in a "neutral corner" at WM5 despite him throwing her across the first-aid room on the Main Event), so I have trouble counting that one. I liked all of the Heenan incidents, but they happened often enough that it wasn't terribly shocking when a Family member finally fed the Brain some knuckles.

Can't argue with that. I'm suprised Rick Rude wasn't another one of his clients who was fed up with Heenan. Post Summerslam-90 would've been a perfect opening shall Rude have stayed.

Paul Heyman turning on Brock Lesnar to manage Big Show.

The look on Brock's face when he realizes he's been had was amazing

Jimmy Hart turning babyface on Money Inc. I was 4 at the time and I thought for sure Brutus Beefcake was going to die that day.

You have impeccable taste, sir. Sherri was extraordinary in that outfit (and many others, of course). When she was lying on her stomach in the ring, with so much of her legs showing.....mm-mmm!

This is definitely a good pick. I would add both Orndorff/Heenan splits -- especially the first.

Sunny getting slopped ranks pretty high with me.

Francine joining the Franchise

Flair/Sting/Sherri WCW triangle as well for a few obscure choices.

One that hasn't been mentioned yet is Jimmy Hart protecting the face of Brutus Beefcake in 1993, when his clients Money Inc were going to smash his face with the briefcase.

Man, I was just trying to remember a few days ago how Jimmy ended up as a face. Now I can remember seeing this like it was yesterday. Does anyone have a clip of it?

Ask. Receive.

Paul Bearer turning on Undertaker.

Sherri turning on Savage and then Elizabeth attacking her.

Both VERY memorable moments for me.

I thought that Sunny trying to join up with every team that had the tag team titles (Smoking Gunns, Godwinns, etc.) was pretty humorous.

I don't know if this counts, but:

Virgil turning on Ted DiBiasie.

For me it's Paul Bearer turning on Taker
