Sammartino VS Karloff, when Bruno lost an 8 year title reign. Sammartino lost to Boris Karloff? Oh you mean Ivan Koloff Sorry I had to. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Hogan's victory over the Iron Sheik for his first World Title, the birth of Hulkamania and all of that.

There will never be a more historical, more famous, or more known match than Hogan/Andre. Which one? The WM3 match or the SNME match where Andre won the WWF title, only to give it to Ted DiBiase just moments after winning it?

Which one? The WM3 match or the SNME match where Andre won the WWF title, only to give it to Ted DiBiase just moments after winning it? They wrestled at WrestleMania IV and in a cage match at Wrestlefest 1988, not to mention several times in the early 1980's, but the reverence is clearly on WrestleMania III. Although the long-awaited rematch on The Main Event (not SNME) was historical as Hulk Hogan's first title loss and as the lead-in to the WWF World title becoming vacated for the first time the history of the WWF, it pales in comparison to the significance of WrestleMania III, in general. I'm on an internet wrestling forum, on page two of a thread about historic matches, and no one has said anything about Benoit's Wrestlemania World title victory? What is this, bizarro world? Not that I would agree it is any more significant than many other title changes, but you know, internet people love that match. Color me shocked. Read the first post again. Capt. Charisma dismissed that match as not being too historical, at least in the long run. However, I am amazed that the Ladder match from WrestleMania X has not been mentioned. If we look at a single match that created a significant turn in the direction of professional wrestling, then that match was definitely one. Its influence is still felt today.

What about RVD/Cena? I think that match can be considered a good benchmark in the evolution of how the wrestling fan goes about his business. Even though Cena was getting boos throughout that part of his run, imagine Hogan or Austin at their prime walking into a hostile arena and getting booed out. I can't imagine that happening even ten years ago.

Mankind vs. Undertaker- HIAC-KOTR 98- Ive seen the video of Foley going off the cell and through the cell so many times, but it still amazes me everytime I agree with you 100%. Although it was not Taker's best hell in a cell it was a match I'll never forget. When Foley fell from the top I was screaming my head off (and not in a good way). I really thought he was a dead man

"recieved by the audience"
Goldberg winning the belt from Hogan - the climax of goldbergmania and one of the few times wcw truely delivered on free tv
Austin winning the belt from Michaels @wm - hbk out,austin 3:16 and the first nail in wcw's coffin
123 kid beating Razor Ramon on Raw 1993 - first time I've ever seen a jobber knock off a big star,and on prime time tv no less.Crowd popped huge for kid's moonsault and the reaction to the three count still sends chills down my spine 14 years later
the first Hogan vs Flair match in wcw
historically speaking...i think the first ladder match was ahead of it's time.Great match,but considering WWE frowned upon the use of tables and hardcore,could've been so much more.
virgil defeating Ted Dibease for a made up belt. Warrior crushing Honkey Tonk man for the IC belt in :20 or so.
and the title unification for the "undisputed title",which should be included for historic purposes,especially given the competitors involved,but will ultimately go down as the biggest dropping of the ball of all time,so never mind
