Jamie Noble's last ROH speach, just for the fact that he was choking up, himself.
Hayabusa's farewell speach
Dragon Kid vs Darkness Dragon Mask vs Mask
Kensuke Sasaki vs Kenta Kobashi(Not really emotional, it's just like, watching them go in the ring it was like watching two freaking monsters go in the ring and tear the crap out of each other)
Hogan vs Rock

Foley beating the Rock for the Title.
I don't care how un-clean it was, it still rocked my socks and rolled my soul.

Beniot, Eddies, and Mankinds title win. Showing everyone that you dont have to be some dude to win the title (Eddies only 5'8, Beniot 5'10, and Mankinds not exactly a bodybuilder), so that was cool for anyone who wants to be a wrestler...

WM19 - The Rock vs. Stone Cold The Rock finally beat Stone Cold at a Wrestlemania, and being the biggest Rock mark this side of Rocky Johnson this was huge to me... Also, that whole "Mania behind the Mania" special on the WMXX DVD that goes through the behind the scenes stuff with Stone Cold and The Rock... Great moment...
Also, as stupid as this sounds, when Lex Luger bodyslammed Yoko on that battleship... Being a young mark this was huge to me, especially if you remember Yoko's run before this happened...

As a HBK mark, for me it has to be HBK's comeback match in 2002 after not wrestling for 4 years because of his broken back. I did watch the match 3 years too late but it still was inspirational for me to see that he could still do it after all this time. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Edge's title win in January was pretty inspiring too. Even though he was a heel, he had the look of astonishment and like his life long dream had come true.

I got to agree with you there. I mean, she won the Intercontinental Title. No other woman has done that. Chyna's a woman? no, she's a broom (HOLLA if you get that reference) about inspirational wrestling moment.. hmm.. even though i didn't see the match until about 6 months ago, I'd have to say the match with Vader in Japan, where his eye gets out of the socket. and he finishes the damn match! now that's dedication and guts right there!

I'd go with the Mulkey brothers beating the Gladiators on WCW's Saturday Night program. All 20 people in the studio went bonkers!

As a young fan, seeing Kerry Von Erich beat Ric Flair in Dallas for the NWA World title (a title his recently deceased older brother David was expected to receive at some point) was very inspirational.
Rick Steamboat overcoming a "Savage" attack in October to win the I-C title at WM III. I don't care who you are, Savage was a psychopath in those days and a really scary dude.

Sting single-handedly outfights 20+ members of the nWo at once.
Bret Hart beats Steve Austin at Wrestlemania by causing him to pass out (This monent is inspiring with respect to both wrestlers, since Bret cleanly beat his opponent in the middle of the ring, and Austin faught as much as he could and lost without wilfully submitting).

The end of Wrestlemania 20 is my favorite moment. It made me fall in love with wrestling all over again.

Shawn Michaels winning the WWF title from Bret at WM12 is up there. Bret beating Yoko at WM10 after losing to his brother earlier in the night was good. But, I still dont think anything can touch Chris Benoit winning the title in the main event of WM after 20 years of midcarding around the world and finally getting recognition for his work.

Paul Heyman totally slams Vince McMahon in a worked shoot that was broadcast shortly before the InVasion Pay-per view. The shoot was worked, but every incriminating thing that Heyman said about Vince was true, and he spoke with passion and conviction, damnit. He brought up everything from Bret Hart to Vince's apparent aversion to 'wrestling' ('sports entertainment' takes priority in McMahonland).
Here's a transcript of that promo, from the November 15, 2001 episode of Smackdown:
"In just a few moments, at my leisure, I'm gonna call Vince McMahon out to his ring in front of his public on a television show that's owned by his grand company. At least, that is, until this Sunday at Survivor Series. I know how much you people appreciate when Shane and Stephanie and I have done - how Shane and Stephanie and I have stood up to the tyranny of Vince McMahon, and the way it is, ladies and gentlemen, is quite simple: The WWF will DIE this Sunday. But don't blame ME for that - it's not MY fault. I'm not the one that RUINED everything that was accomplished by Stone Cold Steve Austin. You see, at Survivor Series, it means so much more than just the personalities that are involved. It's about ending with Vince McMahon has tried to accomplish. I sat there at that desk on Monday, and I listened to Mick Foley. And I agreed with everything that Mick Foley had to say - that the WWF truly does SUCK! Don't boo me. Have you watched the television show lately? Vince McMahon has lost his MIND. The man doesn't have it any more! He's a has been, his ideas are antiquated, his concepts are draconian, and Mick Foley was right, because the WWF is imploding from within; like every great empire, the WWF is imploding from within. Vince's loyal employees, like Stone Cold, left him; like Mick Foley, want nothing to do with him. Vince's own children want him to burn in hell, and I don't blame 'em. Vince McMahon will see the WWF die this Sunday at Survivor Series. And he has no hope to save his precious company! Vince McMahon has the same chances of saving the WWF as he did of realising his dream of starting a football league...I want you to know that I was down on my knees, 'cause I know that you're used to men *puckers* kissin' your ass, Vinny. Every time you walk in the back there, there's Patterson and Brisco, oh what a great idea you had, Vince! (mwah mwah mwah mwah), (mwah mwah mwah mwah). You LIKE men kissing your ass, don't you , Vince, huh? 'Cause that's what you're all about - a BILLIONAIRE - "the BILLIONAIRE VINCE McMAHON, the creator of sports entertainment!" I've waited so long to see you face to face like this. And I've waited so long to tell you to your face that I hate your stinkin' guts. But it's not just me. It's your children that hate your stinkin' guts, Vince. And at Survivor Series, your children are gonna do to you what I have waited my whole life to see somebody do to you, Vince. You are, so help me God, the most disgusting, vile son of a Hootie Hoo! I've ever seen in my life. You took Hulk Hogan's blood and you built Titan Towers. You STOLE Bret Hart's dream, and with that money bought yourself an airplane with WWF all over it. And you KNOW it, you son of a Hootie Hoo!. You stole Shawn Michaels' smile, took your company public, and made yourself a billionaire. But not a self-made billionaire, like you like to tell everybody you are, oh no. See, you're a billionaire on other people's hard work. Your father - your FATHER, Vince McMahon, your father went around the country and shook the hand of every-- you know I'm tellin' the truth, don't you? You know in your heart I'm telling the truth that your father shook the hand of every promoter in this country and swore to them that he'd never compete against them...that his son would never compete against them. And when your father DIED, you competed! And with your ruthless, merciless, take no prisoners attitude, you drove everybody out of business, didn't you, Vince? You ran all the competition to the ground and you stole all their ideas, and you made yourself a billionaire out of it. And you know whose ideas you stole the most, Vince? You stole MINE. See I don't give a damn about Don Owen and Sam Muchnick and Jim Crockett - I care about what you did to me and my family. How you stole MY dreams, how you stole MY legacy, how you stole everything that ECW represents. Because...while Doink the Clown had green hair and rubber nose, Stone Cold Steve Austin was drinking his first beer in ECW, damn you! While Bobby Heenan and Gene Okerlund were dancing around singing Tutti Frutti, ECW was producing the edgy TV that you named "Attitude." 'Oh, we got Attitude!' You got nothing, man. What you got is my ideas, and you stole MY LIFE - MY MONEY - MY LEGACY! SCREW YOU! SCREW YOU and your family! I'll tell you something, your own CHILDREN hate your guts, and on Sunday, your children are gonna get even with you, for everything you stole from me, for everything you stole from them. You flaunt your affairs in front of your WIFE - you flaunt your affairs in Playboy for your children to read! You hug! Look at Tazz! Look at Tazz!!! This man was a KILLER - he was a machine! He was a wrestler - a great wrestler, a real man...but wrestling's a dirty word to you, isn't it Vince? Your father built a wrestling company, and you - you had to have 'sports entertainment.' 'We had to have sports entertainment, ha ha ha.' [Points at Tazz] He was a wrestler, he was a great wrestler, he was a man, and now he's a fat, little, obnoxious colour commentator - and not even a good one! He is a 'sports entertainer.' He is not a 'wrestler,' 'cause you made wrestling a dirty word. You made 'wrestling' a dirty word, Vince. What kind of a man are you? What kind of a man takes wrestling and makes it sports entertainment?!? At Survivor Series, you're goin' down, Vince. I promise you, you're goin' down, and I'm gonna watch it, and your children are gonna lift their leg, standin' over your grave, and we're gonna laugh, and you know what else I'm gonna do, Vince? I'm gonna run your crap outta business. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it. I'm feeling GOOD about myself! AGHHHHHHHHH" (Tazz chokes out Paul with the Tazzmission.)

Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth reunite at WM 7. . . . True Love finds a way . . ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) 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. Piper's first pinfall loss in like 17 years.... My inspirational moment is when Hogan came back at Wrestlemania 18. Everyone at school and everywhere else was talking about how "old" Hogan was, that he couldn't even get a reaction, and that a "60 year old man" can't do anything in the ring against the Rock. Not move wise, or fan reaction wise, that Hogan would wind up crippled after the match, or trip and fall during the match. That ther was no way in hell that anyone was going to be on Hogan's side, students, teachers, everyone. And look what happened. I think Hogan did alot of inspirational things in the past too, especially for the little kids, going out of the way, in his super rediculous schedule, to visit kids in the hospital, needs an honorable mention. I also think that HHH tearing his quad, and then coming back (the only pro athlete ever to do so with his kind of injury) is also inspirational.
