Memorable moments you have no recollection of

[BiloxiParish]

What are some big moments or matches in WWE that you just completely forgot about or don't really remember at all happening. I have 3

1. I have been watching wrestling for a little of 20 years and watching it religiously since 92. I can not for the life of me remember the Vince McMahon Steroid scandal ever happening. Maybe it was because I was a kid.

2.HHH reign of terror. I think I somehow went in autopilot at this point in time and phoned in my wrestling watch.

3. Who won almost every Royal Rumble of this past decade. I remember this years Sheamus and Del Rio in 2011, but anything before that I draw blanks. I can remember spots in certain royal rumbles but thats it

Pretty much anything from like 2005 onward. The entire Cena/Batista/Orton era is sort of a blur for me. Not sure if it's because that's the point where I was turning 18 and wrestling wasn't a huge priority for me anymore but I can remember vividly stuff that happened in the Attitude era or New Generation era.

On those sporcle quizzes trying to name IC champs I don't struggle at all until I get to like 2007 or so. From the beginning through when it was retired I'm solid.

Cena Orton Batista era, its hard to name any 5 star classic matches from this era between these guys or featuring these guys in a match. I know they were the main event in almost every ppv but still. What comes to mind is this

Orton vs Foley
Cena vs CM Punk last July
Batista's Punjabi prison match for some reason I remember. Thats about it. Anything that happened on Smackdown outside of Zach Gowen or the ring collapse I can't remember at all

I still to this day don't know why Ziggler is called a former world champion, I must have slept through it or something.

Me too! When I was a kid I used to remember everything. These days I'm always amazed when people on here can recall specific things about some random tag team match at Vengeance 2009 or something. I have no clue. I still watch every week but it's all pretty much blended into one.

It's a longer story then this, but Edge lost the World title to Dolph Ziggler because Vickie Guerrero banned the spear in early 2011. If Edge used it on Dolph, he'd lost the title. Edge used it while Vickie was thought to not have seen it and won thanks to some Super Bowl guy from Green Bay. Vickie did see it and overturned the decision the next week, making Dolph the champion. Edge would somehow win the title back minutes afterward and Dolph was "fired" for attacking Theodore Long so Vickie could have full control of Smackdown. So you could've pretty much taken a piss through Dolph's World title reign of a few minutes.

I wish they'd just forget it and strike it from the record. When he actually wins the World Title he'll be a 2-time champion, but the first "reign" means absolutely nothing.

But anyway it's hard not to forget a lot of the stuff from 2003-Present. Especially 2004/2005 where the only thing interesting that happened was ECW One Night Stand. The midcard consisted of Rob Conway, Mark Jindrak, The Gymini, Basham Brothers...just forgettable below-average guys in trunks. This was the era of Randy Orton clones. Funny enough amidst all of the generic and boring characters Lance Storm suddenly turned into a black man

They also weren't exactly publicizing that on TV.

Nah, you just blinked.

[comahan]

I had zero idea that Kurt Angle won the WCW Title on Smackdown until a few weeks ago.

[saintpat]

I forgot something once, but it was so long ago I don't even remember what it was.

The funniest thing about that was Savage breaking kayfabe and screaming "not guilty!!!!!" over and over when Vince came back on commentary.
