I still feel so bad for the people of Montreal. HBK got them GOOD. Had Bret actually come out, decked HBK, and put him in the Sharpshooter, the simultaneous orgasm by every person in the arena would've been so powerful, the building would've collapsed. That Montreal crowd was absolutely on fire during that show. From the beginning to the end of that HBK promo, they were absolutely rabid and looked ready to lynch poor Shawn. The sheer balls HBK had to go out and be that cocky and heelish in such an environment is amazing. And yeah, if Bret had actually returned...my god. There were actually tons of rumors swirling around back then that he really WAS going to come back. This was around the time when Bret had worked with Vince to put together his career retrospective DVD, which was one of several signs that he had patched things up with the WWE. Lots of people extrapolated that to mean that he would actually make a return to WWE TV, most likely at Summerslam to make his triumphant return during the Hogan vs. HBK match (I remember reading a storyline proposal where Bret's music rings out in the middle of the match, the crowd goes nuts, he comes out to the ring, HBK looks horrified...only for Bret to attack Hogan instead, as revenge for Wrestlemania IX. ). I can totally see why that crowd reacted the way it did, because it DID seem plausible for Bret to be back, at the time. It's amazing to imagine. The seats at the Molson Center would never have been 100% clean again, given the sheer power of hundreds of fans creaming themselves simaltaneously. Yup I bought into it all the same. Even going into Hulk vs. HBK at Summerslam I still believed Bret would show up, which seems ludicrous to believe in hindsight, that Bret would agree to return on the premise that he's saving Hulk Hogan, who ruined a Wrestlemania moment for him, and believed that the Montreal Screwjob was Shawn Michaels submitting Bret Hart shoot style.

What was #16 from? Hogan got like a 5-7 minute standing ovation during his final WWE run but I can't remember if that was the one or not. My personal top 10(spoiler'd for length): {Spoiler}1) Hogan vs Rock at WM 18 (Hogan's entrance alone was huge but it went to insane when he Hulked up)
2) The Rock 2011 return
3) Foley first WWF title win
4) Brock Lesnar 2012 return
5) Triple H 2002 return
6) Jericho debut
7) Big Show vs Lesnar ring breaking superplex
8) CM Punk vs Cena 2011 Money in the Bank
9) Cena, Vickie, Ziggler boo-fest promo
10) Cena choosing Daniel Bryan to face him at Summerslam
Honorable mention:
-Hogan return to red and yellow in 2002 -Sandman entrance at One Night Stand 2005 -Kane 2000 return vs DX -Fandago-ing -Austin beer truck/ Angle milk truck -Rob Conway entrance compilation The Vickie crowd massacre was hilarious. At one point both her and Cena completely corpse, and you can't blame them.

I can remember watching this live with a few of my friends and he really got us bad. I've always been a Michaels fan but my God did I hate him that night!

If there was a top 10 of biggest booing ever, Vicky would probably occupy half the spots.

Hogan vs Rock at Wrestlemania 18 doesn't make the list? WTF? It should be number 1, the crowd was insane from the entrances till Hogan and Rock went to the back.
Dolph's cash in being ahead of Triple H's return at MSG, and Rock's 2011 return is a big surprise.

Austin and Mankind are no.1 as they should be IMO Eddie winning the title should've been on the list.

The Jericho one still gives me goosebumps.
I'd have put DDP's reveal as the stalker ahead of Taker though. That crowd went from deafening boos to going apeshit and chanting his name in the space of 30 seconds.
