25 Moments That Changed WWE History (WWE.com)

[Loose Cannon]

Pretty good read over on wwe.com. I usually see so many flaws and bias in thier lists, but this one I don't really have any arguments with. Really surprised at #5. Didn't expect that at all.

# 2 was suprising

[mrslackalack]

whoa

[Nowhere Man]

There's a couple on here that I'd really have to question. I mean, yeah, Jesse Ventura becoming Governor was a memorable event, but did it really "Change WWE History?"

And it really should just be "wrestling" or [sigh] "sports-entertainment" history, since a bunch of those happened in different promotions, but now I'm just nitpicking.

Still an interesting read, though.

LOL, I love the bit at the end of #5:

His legacy lives on, as his larger-than-life blueprint is the basis for many Superstar identities, from Flair to Hogan to The Rock. But not Steve Blackman.

[The Mackem]

Number 23

Going national during the 8-10 p.m. timeslot was a risky proposition considering that Thursday nights were already packed with ratings-dominating sitcoms and WCW Thunder.

Laughed at that

[Bad Company]

I like the list. Alot.

Surely that should read 25 Biggest moments in WWE history. You can't change history. It may change the future of WWE at the time, but, unless they have a time machine, you can't change history.

I'm feeling picky today.

smackdown still jobs to thunder

[BigDaddyCool]

26 was probably chris benoit.

[Nervous Ferret]

Where is hulked hugen bodyslamering anfy teh gnat? :(

[darkpower]

WTF:

Soon after, WCW breathed new life into their cruiserweight division and the belt that debuted back in ’91, is still alive and well on SmackDown today.

They're kidding, right?

[Disturbed316]

Interesting

Technically it is the same belt.

Kidman brought the WCW Cruiserweight Title to WWE during the InVasion period in 2001, and after Survivor Series when the Alliance was defeated and disbanded, for some reason, X-Pac (at the time both the WWE Light Heavyweight and also the WCW Cruiserweight Champion) and the WWE got rid of the Light-Heavyweight Title, and kept the Cruiserweight Title.

Technically, it's the same title that came over with Kidman from WCW, and was lost to X-Pac at Summerslam 2001, all the way up to today, with.... Hornswaggle.

Well I think he had more arguement towards the "well" part than "alive".

[JT]

Howard Finkel being the man who named Wrestlemania. I didn't know that one, and found it somewhat a suprise.

[The Naitch]

of course Vince has to be at the #1 spot. Naturally

[Shadow]

Anyone check out number 8?

8. Let the Bodies Hit The Floor
08/27/94
When Shane Douglas became the new NWA Champion of Eastern Championship Wrestling, he stunned the world by throwing the title on the floor in disgust—an act that marked the death of Eastern Championship Wrestling and the rise of Extreme Championship Wrestling. With Paul Heyman at the helm, ECW instituted hardcore rules, and the liberal use of chairs, tables and barbwire. The promotion attracted a unique breed of wrestling diehard, forcing WCW and WWE to respond to the challenge by creating their own Hardcore Championships. Although the style was imitated, it’s fair to say that it was never duplicated.

[Innovator]

Haha, they admit the hardcore division was a joke
