In your opinion of course. Can be from any company, in any period of time, hence why I put here. Please explain why you chose what you chose.
IMO, when Jeff Hardy fought the Undertaker in that Ladder Match for the Undisputed Title on RAW (I think it was in 2002 or 2003). At several moments during the match you actually thought Jeff Hardy could win. And as he was climbing slowly up the ladder, JR was shouting something along the lines of "Go for it, kid! Realize your dream!" Jeff Hardy ended up losing. Even though Undertaker was an uber-heel at the time, he got back in the ring and held up Hardy's arm and I think said something like "You got guts kid."
To me, that entire match, with Hardy taking himself to the limit, J.R.'s amazing commentary, and 'Taker at the end raising Jeff's arm, is a very inspirational moment in wrestling.

Seeing Eddie and Benoit embrace at WM XX was that kind of moment; you could see the tears in both of their eyes, and that sight alone broke down the proverbial fourth wall, as it was real, unbridled emotion at realizing the fulfillment of a 20 year ride for two best friends.
But, in a kayfabe sense, I might have to give the honor to Low Ki winning the ROH Title at the 2002 Crowning a Champion show. After the match, which was an hour long 4-way Ironman in a building where the heat broke 100 degrees, he stumbles to the back with his friends (then members of Da Hit Squad, Monsta Mac and Dan Maff), and sounds ready to burst into tears as, completely exhausted and out of breath, he begins describing just what holding the title means to him, and how he wants to dedicate his win to Russ Haas. Again, in a kayfabe sense, it felt like the culmination of everything Ki had been building towards since the first ROH show, and, given it's then-low budget setting, it really made an impact.
But, of course, how could I neglect the miraculous inspiration that was Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage surviving the ENTIRE Four Horsemen and Dungeon of Doom in ONE match? Dear Lord, they had to survive the wrath of Zeus-...I mean Z-GANGSTA!
Give those men Medals of Honor!

That episode of RAW where Ric Flair took on Triple H for the World Heavyweight Title. He didn't win it, but damn! did he get close!
Another inspirational wrestling moment was when Eddie Guerrero won the WWE Title from Brock Lesnar.

Dear Lord, they had to survive the wrath of Zeus-...I mean Z-GANGSTA! Give those men Medals of Honor! I believe they called themselves the Alliance to End Hulkamania. Now I don't want to go on a rant here but... what the hell? Why would you form an alliance to end hulkamania? Why did they ever want to end hulkamania? How was Bane gonna end Hulkamania? And for that matter, how long did Bane survive in WCW? But anyway, there's also the Ironman Match HBK vs. Hitman, the boyhood dream. |

I guess Benoit's defeat to Angle at RR 03 was inspiritional in a way, the standing ovation he received afterwards had me welling up.

Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth reunite at WM 7. . . . True Love finds a way . .  Although another inspirational moment would be Rowdy Piper refusing to use the bell at WM 8. Inspirational in the fact that here he could cheat and take the easy win . . but instead finally realizes what he is doing lets the bell go and lose .. . in a way saying it's better to lose cleanly than win cheaply. Okay, no more responding to topics before breakfast... makes me all conry and such. |

say what you want, but being a 12 year old girl and watching chyna entering the rumble as the first female EVER to do so, is definitly inspirational to me. in fact, most of her wwf run is quite inspirtational from a young girls view.

Another big one for me was Punk vs. Cabana at Punk: Final Chapter. I had been going through a rough spot in my own wrestling career, but then when that match happened, and the reception that Punk got after all he had done and said during his heel run...well that just inspired me just a little bit and my career got just a little bit rejuvinated.  |

I got to agree with you there. I mean, she won the Intercontinental Title. No other woman has done that. |
