It could be anything really, from kickass matches/segments to something so funny you wanted to show a non wrestling fan.
When it comes to angles/segments it would have to be anytime where I can compare it to real life or something that relates to my personal interests I guess. The time Shane McMahon jumped of that scaffold thing it was something I wanted to show everyone. When they built up the Torrie/Dawn angle and I just want them to get it on and when they kind of did I really marked out. Vince McMahon's stupid limo being blown up and them trying to sell it like the thing was real. It was like going from a cartoon to an action movie in a split second.
As for matches....
Well most of the past Royal Rumbles and the MITB matches that were on Wrestlemania. They all used to be amazing mark out moments.

Personally, it was just going to school and in 98 everyone out of the sudden loved wrestling, the same posers that didn't knew who Bret Hart was suddenly were giving crotch chops. Now a segment that I just popped, having that guy won that triple threat on that wrestlemania

The early years of Extreme Championship Wrestling was the coolest time for me. I used to get the show on Saturdays at 2 in the afternoon on CTN and I taped every episode. I was able to get all of 1995 and 1996. I went to my first ECW Arena show in 1995. I bought some shirts and people would always stop me when I was wearing them. It was like we shared this common love that instantly bonded us. We would talk about the promos of Shane Douglas, the table dives of Sabu, the suplexes of Taz, the bumps Tommy Dreamer would take, Sandman beating people with his cane, the women, the entrance music, the Raven angles, etc, etc. It was just the coolest thing because WWF and WCW were so stale in '95. Real wrestling fans were so excited when they found ECW.
I watched tapes with my friends and soon enough their dream involving wrestling was to get to the ECW Arena. I was going with different groups all the time. I've been to hundreds of wrestling shows and nothing compares to those live experiences. Eventually Nitro came along and went to war with Raw. It was a great time to be a wrestling fan. ECW slowly went downhill after they made it to PPV since their talent was being raided from time to time and the Monday night wars got too hot. Soon enough WWF and WCW were ripping off ECW left and right. It wasn't as unique anymore but those early years were unforgettable for me.

The entire Jake Roberts/Randy Savage feud is probably at the top of the list. There's just no way that people can't be impressed by this entire story, from the sinister promos of Jake, to the boiling rage that Savage displays, to the King Cobra, to Jake smacking Elizabeth around at Tuesday In Texas... this leaves an impression.

Never. Even in 1999/2000, I got the sense that the wrestling boom was along the same vein of Jerry Springer's hot period (or Duck Dynasty recently), a lowbrow thing that was popular but not really respected. I don't think it's ever been seen as "cool" the way a show like Mad Men was.

For me personally, every time I leave a show. It is just such a killer feeling. It is almost like a buzz. To me, that is pretty cool.

Man that "Do me a favor, bring her back...let me touch her again" line, I always wondered why Jake never tried his hand at Hollywood. He was really tall, has a prescence, awesome Sam Elliot voice, I definitely can see him in a thriller or Tarantino movie

Anytime the Sandman entered an arena. The ONS entrance is one of the coolest moments in wrestling I've ever seen.

Mid-to-late 90s.
DX on one show, nWo on the other.
Back when they were both good.
And a little thing called ECW popping up here and there.

I would say late 1998 and early 1999. It seemed like everyone watched wrestling in my class. Then, some kids got to cool for it (their parents wouldn't let them watch WWF). In early 2002, still lots in my class who watched it. When I got into high school, I had to go in the closest,

When Daniel Bryan broke up from the Wyatts. The build, the little motions, the crowd involvement, that's something that even a non-fan could appreciate.

I remember for a lot of 2011 at Work people were talking about the rock coming back and CM Punk.
