Not really. We are just trying to get some views. Ha Ha

3. Hulk Hogan rejects his fans and joins the nWo at Bash at the Beach 1996.
Hulk Hogan had been a fan favorite for thirteen years. During that time, he had held the WWF title five times and the WCW title a few times. And there he was, set to bring in the tidal wave of popularity that was about to consume pro wrestling in America.


2. Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka leaps from the top of a steel cage onto Don Muraco in 1981.
This moment is legendary in several ways, but it is perhaps most intriguing when it is considered that it was not televised anywhere in the world. This moment occurred at a non-televised event in Madison Square Garden, but the word of mouth from it spread and eventually resulted in the huge wrestling boom of the 1980s.

Prior to this point, pro wrestling in America was mostly filled with large fellows who grappled in the middle of the ring, rarely leaving their feet. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, a few individuals dared to try more, sometimes ascending to the third rope around the ring and leaping off onto their opponent as a spectacular finishing move.

Snuka took it to the next level.


Mick Foley was watching in the stands with Snuka made his leap.

1. Mick Foley wins his first world title in 1999 with the aid of Steve Austin.
This moment was the pinnacle of the modern era of professional wrestling, when everything good about the industry in terms of storytelling and in-ring performance paid off in one incredible moment.

At Survivor Series 1999, Mick Foley (in his Mankind persona) had been promised by Vince McMahon that he would indeed win the world title. Vince, the main villain in the WWF at the time, of course turned his back on the trusting Mankind and delivered the championship to The Rock. At this time, Foley's popularity with fans was utterly skyrocketing; he was portraying the role of the common man who made it big in the industry, with more than a heavy pinch of humor.

For the next month, Vince's cronies pretty much tormented Foley at every turn until the final Monday Night Raw of the year, in which Foley seemingly snapped. He kidnapped Vince's son Shane and said that he would break Shane's arm if Vince didn't live up to his promise of a shot at the World Title. Vince relented, and the main event was set: Mick Foley vs. The Rock for the WWF Championship.

But Foley wouldn't have it that easy. McMahon named his cronies Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco as ring announcer and timekeeper, respectively, and Vince named himself guest "ringside enforcer," which was pretty much a guarantee that Foley would be interfered with at every turn whenever the referee had his back turned. And that's just what happened. Finally, near the end of the match, the referee was knocked cold and Brisco, Patterson, Vince, and The Rock proceeded to start beating Mankind to a pulp.

Then one heard the sound of glass shattering, and the loudest noise I have ever heard in my life erupted from the crowd. The screaming was literally so loud that I had to cover my ears.
