Ok, so we all know that, at the time, the DX invading Nitro in a "Tank" segment was fairly cool. These guys are actually at the arena full of WCW guys, there's a chance we could see WWF and WCW collide here! I mean, it was kind of cool, at the time, on the night. It wasn't actually a tank, it was a little jeep, but it was pretty cool. At the time.
It wasn't however as big as WWE like to pretend it was now. Not even close.
What other moments have been totally overblown in their importance in WWE history?
Hogan slamming Andre?
Austin 3:16 speech?
The Boyhood Dream?
This is your Life with Rock and Mankind?
I'm asking you!

Hogan slamming Andre is definitely overblown by Hogan himself

Hogan slamming Andre is definitely overblown by Hogan himself Are you suggesting Andre wasn't two tons of solid steel, an android Andre if you will, that Hogan press slammed above his head and threw off a mountain into a helicopter, killing Bin Laden and winning Vietnam for the whole world?

I heard he was a 10 foot giant, who was slammed in front of 10 million people and then died just 2 days later.

No way in hell is Hogan slamming Andre overblown.
The Boyhood Dream and Shawn ziplining are overblown.

Maybe Nitro giving away RAW results, to a point?

The Boyhood Dream, which pains me because HBK is one of my all-time faves. Wouldn't being WWF Champion be EVERY wrestler's "boyhood dream"? What made HBK so special?

The tank overblown? Are you kidding me! That tank ended the Monday Night War and saved America from the horrible, never good at all (but you can see it on the Network for $9.99) WCW! That tank was the epitome of just how great Triple H is.
The beer truck is definitely been milked too much.

John Cena joining Raw (Pretty mediocre as a moment)
The Boyhood Dream (Ditto)
Jericho's debut (An important moment, but not as monumental as it's made out to be)
This if Your Life (Important for the ratings, but actually shockingly boring and humorless when you see it for the second or third time)

This is certainly true. He pretty much buries it in his DVD and in his book, I think.

He said in the book that he thought he was being too cartoonish a heel, that the mic work wasn't that great, and that it's remembered as hugely significant when he basically did absolutely dick until the early part of 2000.

He was so prepared for that, he had to have practiced. It made it feel like his boyhood dream was to dance and pose for the people, and he just had to win the big match to get his opportunity.

Weren't people actually filing towards the exits and rather unimpressed by the HBK zipline entrance?

This if Your Life (Important for the ratings, but actually shockingly boring and humorless when you see it for the second or third time) I'm positive I flipped to Nitro or something else during the initial showing, because I had no recollection of it at all until I found it on Mick Foley's VHS release. A few of the others, I do have a soft spot for, because I can remember when stuff like the Jericho debut and Hogan slamming Andre thing happened. I marked out as I did back then. I try not to take into account the poor booking practices that followed "overblown moment".
