Biggest "mark-out" moment of all time?

[Rockhound]

1/28/98 Corestates Center(Now Wachovia Center) in Philly for a house show. The main event was scheduled to be SCSA, Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie vs. HBK and the NAO. HBK is a no show due to his ailing back and is replaced by The Rock. The match is the same match at No Way Out that year. Stone Cold stuns then pins The Rock. While celebrating, Chyna comes into the ring and gets in his face. The place, already popping start to murmer. Chyna shoves Austin, but he just stands there. She shoves him again, same thing. Everyone knows it's coming, we just don't know when. Stone Cold heads for the ropes not really wanting to strike a woman. Chyna stops him and flips him off then walks away. Stone Cold follows and when Chyna turns around, he, of course, stuns her. To this day I still don't think the roof has glided back onto that building the pop was so loud. Then for good measure he stuns HHH who is still on crutches. That was my biggest mark out moment.

One great moment for me was seeing Ric Flair regain the NWA World Championship from Ronnie Garvin at Starrcade 1987. I'm old too.

i was at the SNME, i think it was, when Andre pinned Hogan, evil ref, selling it o DiBiase angle...fantastic angle and the crowd was livid after the finish...one of the best Indianapolis ppv moments in history

Honestly, probably Taker's World Heavyweight Title win at WrestleMania this year. Just a great moment I think, shame it had to end so early.

Truly the best markout moment I had in many, many years.

Others include Goldberg showing up in WWE, The Rock winning the championship at Survivor Series 98, Wrestlemania 12 Ultimate Warrior return, and nothing will ever top the entire main event of Wrestlemania VI for me.

[Loki]

In recent times: Edge defeating Cena @ NYR 06

All time, Warrior pinning Hogan @ WMVI and Bret winning the WWF title @ WMX

[Cyberwoo]

My two biggest mark out moments are;

Jericho beating the Rock, and Stone Cold back-to-back in one night. Taking World titles from each to become the first undisputed champion.

Eddie and Benoit in the ring at the end of WM XX.

Foley winning the title has to be up there. He was what attracted me back to the WWF in 96 (the Buried Alive match), and I'd met him just a few months before it at a house show and in typical Foley fashion, he was probably the nicest guy I'd ever met. I didn't watch WCW, so I had no idea it was happening. You really felt good for him when he won it.

Taker doing the dive in the Inferno match has me jump out of my seat any time I see it.

I know my non-WWE one is being called an a-hole by Adam Pearce before his match against Morishima at Driven. My being at the top of the bleachers made this truly feel like an accomplishment.

Do tell...I had a markout moment with Rhett Titus at Undeniable, though I was in the front row and he heard me call him sexy quite clearly.

Mankind tells Triple H he is not ready to face him at the Rumble and the fans deserve a suitable replaceable. Mankind peels off his shirt and mask saying, "I think you know the guy. His name is Cactus Jack!"

Love it. I don't know why. I just do.

I marked when Benoit's music hit signaling his switchover to RAW after he won the Rumble.


Also marked when Angle beat HBK at mania 21, cleanly.

My biggest mark out moments are:

1. Hogan/Warrior at WMVI. I was a kid back then but I loved that match.
2. Piper arrives to WCW at Halloween Havoc '96. I hated the NWO and Hogan with a passion and I was tired of hearing Hogan talking and I went nuts when Piper appeared and made his famous promo against Hogan.
3. Sting appearing at the end of Uncensored '97. It made me sick to my stomach to see the NWO win again and then when Sting came down from the rafters and beat up the entire NWO. I screamed my head off and went absolutely crazy.
4. Goldberg winning the WCW title against Hogan. That entire night was electrifying and I was so thrilled when he won the title from Hogan.
5. Flair returning to WWE after Survivor Series. I knew that Flair showed up but I still loved it when Flair came out and told Vince that he was the co-owner of the WWE. Vince's facials were priceless.
6. Goldberg's WWE debut. I went crazy when Goldberg came out and speared the Rock.
7. The Rock's PSA. I didn't recognize the Rock's voice at first, but when I realized that it was the Rock, I dropped my TV remote and went absolutely nuts.

- Savage winning the World Title by pinning DiBiase at WM4. I marked for the chairshot, and for the Big Elbow.

- Benoit defeating HHH at WM20, then celebrating with Eddie afterwards. I had tears in my eyes.

- Jericho's debut. Nothing much tops that.

[WWHHHD]

CM Punk's last entrance into ROH. The streamers, Bouncing Souls -Nighttrain. It had it all!

[Branimal]

I might be wrong..but I didn't see anyone mention Jericho "winning" the title from HHH for the first time..before the decision was overturned.

Man, my jaw dropped..I didn't even know how to react..

I think that was the last time that someone that NO ONE expected to win the WWE title..won it.

Great TV.

[Ultimate Reality]

Raven returning to ECW to win the tag titles w/Tommy Dreamer from the Dudley Boyz
Goldberg trying to spear Bret Hart and getting knocked out by the metal plate under Bret's shirt
RVD flipping from the top rope out into the crowd vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
Kane setting The Undertaker's casket on fire
The Radicalz (was it with a z?) WWF debut
Pretty much all of The Rock's heel promos
ECW getting involved in the Invasion.....before it all turned to crap.
Mike Awesome's promo to Spike Dudley about how he "knocked his girlfriend's teeth right down her smurfing throat!"

....and of course
Mankind winning the WWF Championship
Jericho's WWF debut
and so many more I can't remember right now from over the years.

Oh yeah, I don't know what event it's from, because I only saw it on youtube, but Randy Savage's "reviving elbow" on his partner, Hulk Hogan.

[DiBiase is Good]

What I've seen on TV....
Hogan slams Andre.
Ultimate Warrior returns at Wrestlemania 8.
The Hart Foundation wins the tag titles from Demolition at SummerSlam 1990.

What I've seen live...

[Branimal]

Also, I thought I should mention that one episode of Smackdown when Austin went around trying to get other wrestlers to sign his petition so that he wouldn't have to wrestle Jericho and Benoit in a Triple Threat Match at King of the Ring 2001..

Then..he ran into Spike and Molly Holly..and called Molly Holly a bimbo..then Spike ripped up his petition and Austin went crying to the commissioner. That was awesome.

[Jack]

WM18 when Hogan 'hulked-up' and everyone just went nuts.
