Welcome to the latest spin off of the Top 20 Matches Series! Here's how it works: PM me your Top 10 moments/segments of the event or wrestler of the week. The events and wrestlers will be chosen at random, but if something/someone comes up that would be quite repetitive of the prior list, it may be replaced. Voting will run from Sunday until 8:00 PM EST on Friday when Smackdown starts. Even if we use workers who are currently in TNA, and we will at some point, please limit the matches to the Big 3 that WWE owns. WWE, WCW, and ECW. Though there can be exceptions, and in those cases you'll be notified. Remember, PM ME your lists. Don't post them in full in this thread. Want to leave some suspense for the actual countdown. Now just to clarify, here's what I mean by "moments & segments". A segment would be any kind of backstage interview, backstage skit, in ring promo, goofy in ring skit, etc. For example, Eugene & Matt Striker's "Booger Promo" from Backlash 2006 would be a segment. Just ... hopefully it never appears on any lists. A moment would be any particular spot in a match, such as a victory, some particularly vicious move, a title change, or any match outcome. Do not send along "Stone Cold Steve Austin vs, Kurt Angle - Summerslam 2001". That will not count. If you send "Angle kicks out of three Stunners at Summerslam 2001", that WILL count. Orton vs. Benoit would not. Orton winning his first title would. If you need any more examples, here is the only other Moments/Segments thread to date. If there are any more questions, feel free to ask in this thread. So with that, lets' get to business. For the inaugural list of the Moments/Segments series itself, send me your Top 20 moments and segments for WWE's biggest party of the Summer... SUMMERSLAM For next week, the Top 20 Match Series returns, which will also be a countdown of Summerslam. Enjoy!

sportsmanship, a crazy spot, and a lot from one Summer Slam event

I ordered my list and sent it. A lot of them are the usual suspects that will probably get plenty of votes and one of them is a specific spot in a match that may not get any more votes, though the match itself is quite historic and well-received.
More notes: Two from the 1980s Four from the 1990s Four from the 2000s Nothing that has anything to do with Stone Cold or Cena Featured in more than one moment: the leader of the Kliq, the Phenom, the 1st Lady, the Canadian Hero.

92 the earliest 08 the most recent
1. This moment was the start to one of the greatest matches i have ever seen. 2. Hometown boy does it 3. Tombstone gone seriously wrong 4. "YOU WILL NEVER BE HBK" 5. Family Issues 6. " I DO" 7. So you in HELL! 8. Bret refuses to let go 9. An 80;s style match in 05 10. The return of the ALL TIME GREATEST wrestler

In no particular order:
* The ceremony was wonderful, but the reception left much to be desired. * He won the title against whats-his-name. * He can add Human Pinball to his list of nicknames. * Squash, prepared in 30 seconds or less * Unfortunately, the beginning of the end of his career. * The outcome of my favorite match of all time. * A comeback I never thought would happen. * Its been done before, but not this well. * A passing of the torch and a turning of the crowd. * A great moment for his family, a great moment for his countrymen

This will take more thought than the matches lists for me so I will work on getting my list together soon.

My list has been sent, and here are my hints
1. A victory for a title in his home country 2. One of the biggest names in wrestling history wins a title, despite a disastrous turn of events 3. It worked at that year's Mania, but didn't work this time 4. How many finishers will be enough? 5. "I will fight till there's nothing left" 6. The Next Big Thing has arrived 7. Never throw out an open challenge 8. An over year long quest for revenge ends 9. One of the greatest Wrestlemania moments led to this segment 10. A fall from the heavens, by a guy that's not a regular wrestler

List is in, here's clues
2 from 2003 1 each from 91, 92, 96, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005 and 2007
And clues in no particular order
A heel turn never in the realms of possibility 3 clearly isn't enough a backwards fall from way up a backstage segment of complete gold......or more like money A dominating performance in a confined space Dearly beloved A return of an Icon Not even long enough to take a piss Whatever will be, will be, were going to... A Bearer of bad news
