Which wrestler, for one moment in time, was the most over in the history of WWE?
It's one thing to debate the best ever, or the most over in terms of an entire career, but what single moment put someone the most over of anyone in WWE?
I have to go with Hulk Hogan when the bodyslammed Andre the Giant.

Austin when he showed up to help Mankind win the title.
Or if you talk about Hogan, then what about his Hall of Fame induction? he litrelly could not say anything for five minutes.

Y2J debuts. The literate crowd had the loudest TV pop I ever heard.

Mankind when we won the WWE title the first time. That pop was insane.
Honorable mention, along with others in this thread, should be Guerrero winning the title from Lesnar.

Gotta be Hogan or Austin. Tough call picking a moment, though.

For me, the most over I ever saw a wrestler was Stone Cold Steve Austin diving off the Zamboni and clotheslining Vince who was in the ring celebrating Kane's WWF title win. It was right in the middle of Austin's amazing 1998 run, and the crowd was so hot for him because he had just dropped the belt in a BULLSHIT way lol. That was one of my biggest mark out moments as a kid.

I was there for Triple H's return at MSG and that was the loudest and longest sustained pop I've ever heard.

Surprised no one has made a case for Hogan at WM X-8. The building may have been 50-50 split initially, but Rock couldn't MOVE without getting booed before long. Follow that up with the ovation the next night on RAW and Hogan was back, baby.

Probably not the most, but an honourable mention should go to Jericho's phantom title reign. The pop when he pinned Triple H was amazing.

Austin at WM 14. As soon as he appeared there was just a wall of crowd noise that kept going and going.

Loudest/longest sustained pop: Hogan the night after Wrestlemania X-8. Loudest single pop: Hogan slamming Andre (93,000 people give it something of an advantage.
Biggest pop ever (in/out of WWE) Antonio Inoki in North Korea against Ric Flair.

anytime WWF was in Canada during Bret's "the united states sucks" thing...actually anytime WWF went over seas in general...Bret was the biggest face in every country but the US during that time.
Hogan on the smackdown after winning the wwf championship for his 2 commercial break ovation.

Most human eyeballs ever on one wrestling event at one time: The Main Event, February 5, 1988, for Hulk Hogan.

Benoit making HHH tap out to win the title was pretty amazing.
