During the Ministry angle where Stephanie is abducted the first time and Shamrock vows to find her. He has a match with Gangrel (with the Brood at ringside) when the lights go out for the bloodbath. The lights come back on, and Shamrock has no-sold it. He's now covered in blood, holding Christian in the ankle lock, screaming at him. Now that's a badass visual.
Later, in May, when Austin and Rock were being beat down by the Corporate Ministry (who were in a lumberjacks in a match Shane set up) Vince sicced the entire roster on the Corporate Ministry.

Stone Cold's invitational when he basically said to Scotty 2 Hotty that he would never be succesfull in the WWF/E and then called him "Kurt" (Angle)
"You know what I'm gonna do to you Kurt? You know what I'm gonna do when that bell rings Kurt? You know what I'm gonna do to you? Am I gonna lock-up with you, huh? NO I'M STAR WHOOPING YOUR ASS, THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO TO KURT!!!"
EDIT: That wasn't in the Attitude Era

^ Another great Ken Shamrock moment which I recently watched was his straightjacket match against Jeff Jarrett. That just blew me away that he was doing technical wrestling and applying submissions and even winning with one without the use of his hands. Him snapping by kicking the ring steps and doing his trademark snapping yell after Vince attacked the ref and took the keys to the straight jacket was icing on the cake.
Speaking of Bloodbaths Kane's to Austin was pretty awesome because really you expected Kane to just make fire come up again from the posts when he started raising his hands and wham buckets of blood just douse Stone Cold.

Speaking of bloodbaths, I still remember something similar that Goldust got on a RAW Saturday Night back in 1999, the night before St. Valentine's Day Massacre. However, the disturbing part was when Blue Meanie as Bluedust came on the titantron to play some mind games with Goldust and was lying there naked, though covered up and with a blue light on him.
Here was the cool part: Goldust got something similar to a bloodbath (The kind that the Brood gave), but instead of blood, it was blue paint. Does anybody else remember that?

ALSO speaking of bloodbaths: Al Snow got one, and when the lights came back up, he was standing there screaming "Oh no! Not again!". This led to Al going on a multi week psychotic epsidode (wearing the same blood soaked shirt and shaving heads "hair") Anyone else have ANY idea what Im talking about? |

If memory recalls, he kept wearing the blood soaked shirt and he swapped out for a new Head, now with "FEAR ME" written backwards on his head (and Head), instead of "HELP ME". |

Everybody remembers the Zamboni/SCSA thing, but the whole verbal exchange with Taker/Kane/McMahon after Austin was arrested leading to Vince getting his ankle broken was much better.
Vince calls Undertaker and Kane "mentally and physically handicapped", Undertaker replies with "If you get out of line with me one more time, it'll be your LAST time", Vince flips them off when they walk away, Taker catches him and WHAM, beatdown.
I also like the RAW after KotR 1999 where they had Bossman out of the Corp Ministry, tease a Bossman face turn (complete with "Hard Times" music) and he just hugs the McMahons implying he lifted the briefcase.

There was a violent womens match on a RAW or PPV involving blood and a mirror getting smashed over someone's head - thinking it was Ivory vs. either Luna or Jacqueline?
edit: Adding Kane and Austin throw Paul Bearer down a sewer. Didn't know he would fit.
edit 2: E&C making fun of K-Kwik and Road Dogg's clothing; Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Dean Malenko Backlash 2000; Dean Malenko - Ladies' Man

Some personal favorite matches no one seems to remember:
The week after Kane became #1 contender, there was a tag team royal rumble. Was a unique and fun match, and highlights just how much stronger the tag division was back then.
Val Venis vs. Austin-don't quite remember the context, but Austin was on the stick challenging the then title holder. Val Venis came out and declared he deserved a title shot, so he and Austin had a match later that night. Was actually a very solid performance with both men looking strong, and one couldn't help but think they were suddenly giving Val a main event push. But it was the last we ever heard of that.
Steve Blackman vs. Chris Benoit-yeah most people shudder at the memory's of Benoit now. Nonetheless, he was a recent arrival in WWE at the time, and was being set up for a feud with The Rock. The story was that Shane wanted the title off The Rock and had picked Benoit as his man to do it, and Benoit was getting shots at different titles because Shane favored him. Blackman had the hardcore title, and he and Benoit had an awesome match together that shows what an underrated performer Blackman was.
Bart Gunn vs. Bob Holly-Holly had just come into his "hardcore" character, and Bart Gunn had not been seen on television in a while. They had a hardcore title match together that was pretty unique. They hit each other with everything under the sun, including a water jug, a bag of flour, a watermelon, and a crate of bananas.

That was Ivory vs. Tori in the first Women's Hardcore Match. Thank you for that.  It was actually pretty shocking because before it was mostly tame or "bra and panties" type stuff. |

The lights come back on, and Shamrock has no-sold it. He's now covered in blood, holding Christian in the ankle lock, screaming at him. Now that's a badass visual. Later, in May, when Austin and Rock were being beat down by the Corporate Ministry (who were in a lumberjacks in a match Shane set up) Vince sicced the entire roster on the Corporate Ministry. Shamrock was the one who found Stephanie, and she was so relieved, despite the fact Ken was covered in blood. I mean, if I was abducted and the one who found me looked that way (and screaming in the process), I'd be even more freaked out. Mentioning Crash Holly... loved hi promo when he wanted to end the 24-7 rule because he had to constantly live in fear. He had a 5 o' clock shadow and looked totally frazzkled. Lawler would mention that in the Hardcore Battle Royal, because he was given like a week's reprisal to prepare for this match. "I talked to Crash earlier, and he said he felt great. Got a good night's sleep for the first time in a month. Was able to eat his cereal without having to look over his shoulder." Then Crash would get pinned by Tazz in like the first minute of the match, lol. This MAY be a classic Attitude moment, maybe not, but it's a favorite of mine. Everyone knows the New Age Outlaws announcement skit by heart and did it along with them with no problem, but at Survivor Series 2000 (I think), Outlaws come out for a triple threat match against Headbangers and another team and I swear to God, there was a sign covering three rows up in the rafters of the ENTIRE Outlaws entrance spiel. Even JR just said in awe "That's the biggest sign I've ever seen!" Just epic really. Right event, wrong year. 'Twas 1998, and the other team was D'Lo Brown & Mark Henry. It was a fun clustermess of a match, even though Tim White botched not one but two pin-fall attempts by the Nation. You all picked some good ones. |

* Brian Christopher Pinning Head with the help of a bottle of shampoo 'Twas Head and Shoulders. Brian: "The Head! It had Shoulders! (Obnoxious cackle.)" Yes, that match was awful (yet somehow fun to watch), but it gave birth to the infamous Jim Ross call, "That match was uglier than a bowling shoe!" Every so often after that, JR would drag that line out. He'd see a match that wasn't exactly screaming main event anywhere in the country and would comment, "This match has those bowling shoe-tendencies." A classic part of the Attitude Era that not too many people think too highly of, but needed to be mentioned. Good job, sir! |

I used to have Capital Carnage on video, it was the 98 PPV that was in London, and has the ending of Austin, Vinnie Jones and Earl Hebner having a beer bash.
That was a pretty good PPV, Mankind - Austin - Kane - Taker fatal 4 way was a fairly good match.
