This is in contrast to this thread -- officialfan.proboards.com/thread/491044/moments-wwe-history-got-tired -- just because I know there are a bunch of killer WWE moments you never see in video packages or whatever. This could mean something big or small, but no matter what, it was something worth remembering and looking back on. Recent history counts, too, if WWE hasn't yet hyped it up/brought it up yet. My first two things that come to mind are tributes: 1. When Bret appeared on Raw in 2010 and discussed his family and the crowd started an "Owen" chant, and then Bret shows that he's wearing an awesome T-shirt with him and Owen on it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibAbcgfcNtI. I found this really, really powerful and such an awesome surprise. 2. When Vickie Guerrero did the Frog Splash at WrestleMania in tribute to Eddie. Erase the awful, hyuk-hyuk commentary and you have a great gesture even if she didn't land the move very well. |

Kane taking a car battery to Shane's testicles
Heels these days just don't know how to terrorize people anymore.

The Shane/Kane dinner segment was gripping. I also think Rhino goring himself into the shopping trolley was a great moment that gets ignored.

Also, since I haven't seen it on any WWE DVDs or packages (though it might be there), how hyped up is Randy Orton's reaction to landing on thumbtacks in that Foley/Orton match? That is one of my all-time favorite sells and deserves more love.

Okay... I'll be the one to say it:
Pretty much anything involving Chris Benoit.

That one pissed me off as it was happening. You had a moment for the ages there, and they totally crapped all over it. |

I loved her pointing to the sky right before she did it, obviously as a tribute to her late husband. Unfortunately the commentary crapped all over it, just to get in more fat jokes. |

The first time I ever saw anyone hit vince with a chair, Roddy Piper. Back then, I didn't even know Vince was anything more than a commentator.

After Big Show and Mark Henry did the suplex spot that broke the ring, they seemed to ignore Show's first time doing it against Lesnar.

Also: Bret going through a table during that Diesel match at Survivor Series 1995. I thought that was a great visual, especially since the table didn't look very gimmicked and he landed among monitors. That was brutal-looking.

That is one of my all-time favorite sells and deserves more love. It's on the hardcore edition of Mick Foley's Greatest Hits And Misses. Awesome match. Orton got a major pop the night after. |

Bret beating Mr Perfect for the IC title at Summerslam 91 (ish). One of my favourite matches of all time (since I was a huge Mr Perfect fan)

Any of the greatness surrounding the first two One Night Stands. The ECW revival not only stamped out "ECW" chants, but it made the chill-inducing moments of those events irrelevant to history.

Yes it was way too soon for him to return and the angle ended up being completely botched, but nobody saw it coming. My exact thought process at the time was "Wait, a minute I know that music...Punk's ROH theme! He's playing mindgames with Cena. Cool, I wonder what...OHHHHHHHHHH SHIT IT'S PUNK"

WWE soaks up all that 1980s and late 1990s nostalgia but shows little to no love for the corniness and unabashed fun of the early 1990s. These two music videos should be iconic and busted out whenever WWE wants to remember the good ol' days. Who wouldn't want to see Daniel Bryan/Big Show/Dolph Ziggler/Fandango/Sin Cara reprise and update "Slam Jam?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UXVAVavEJ8www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFpAD36d48o |
