Okay, so what's everybody's top ten Mania Moments?
Here's mine:
10) Double Doink: Yeah WM 9 was pure crap, but this moment I could watch over and over again. I absolutely loved bad ass cigar smoking heel Doink. The guy was pure comedy and a total pyscho. Watching Crush get KO'ed with the cast was a great moment and then watching the two Doink's do mime was classic. Heenan's commentary during this was great too.
9) HHH turns on DX. This kind of pissed me off, but what the hell, it was a great moment. Shane and X-pac were having a really good Euro title match IMO and just when it seemed like Pac would take the title, HHH comes in and pedigrees his best friend right to the canvas, giving Shane the vicotry. The crowd was shocked and so was I. The Outlaws made a run in to help out Pac, but they got thier asses kicked by HHH and other members of the Corporation. Funny moment here too as Road Dogg is sooooo pissed off at HHH that he can't even say the guy's name right when he was talking to J.R. It came out to something like, "That Hearst Hunter Hunter is a jackoff."
8) Hall and Nash turn on Hogan: I loved the NWO, but hated Hogan, so this was a markout moment for me. Rock and Hogan had just had an epic encounter at WM 18 and Hogan shakes Rock's hand after the match. This brings out the Outsiders who were pissed at Hogan for showing remorse to the Rock. So Hall and Nash turn on Hogan and attack his ass until Rock makes the save and ruins my night.
7) Savage/ Flair WM 8: The angle leading up to this great match was excellent as Flair had been saying that he and Liz had a relationship with each other. The match was a classic and you really felt like these two just despised each other. Savage wins with a small package, with a tights pull and The Brain gets pissed at the Commentary booth. Afterwards, in a great interview, Heenan and Perfect are yelling and screaming into the camera and then Flair comes on and is all calm and tells Savage he cheated and he will get his title back.
6) Andre turns face at WM 6: This happend after the Demoliton vs Collosual Connection tag team title match. Demolition were so over here BTW. Anyway, Andre held Smash for Haku to kick, but Smash ducked and Haku kicked Andre in the face. Andre fell back and got tied up in the ropes. This allowed Ax and Smash to hit thier finisher on Haku and pin him to win the titles. After the match, Andre's manager, Bobby Heenan came in and gave an ear full to Andre. Heenan slapped Andre and Andre got pissed off. Andre started slapping Heenan and then blocked a Haku kick and attacked him. Andre walked out, or rather rode out, alone and left the Heenan Family for good.
5) Savage/ Steamboat WM 3: Nothing to say here except that it was arguably the greatest I.C. title match of all-time. Just a great all around Wrestling match which was backed by a great feud between the two men.
4) Warrior returns at WM 8: Wow, I totally lost it here for this one. Hogan had just defeated Sid Justice via DQ because of a Papa Shango run in. Then Shango and Justice continued to attack Hogan after the bell. Justice goes outside to get a chair and all of a sudden that all familiar music hits. The audience went nuts and even Heenan lost it. Warrior comes charging down to the ring and gives a closeline to Shango over the top rope. Justice hits the Waririor with a chair, but Hulk stops him and knocks Justice out of the ring. Warrior and Hulk celebrate to end the show.
3)Bret/Shawn iron man match: Fk'n Awesome match, but the ending really pissed me off. I mean WTF. They should have restarted the match with Shawn still in the sharpshooter. How many times can Bret Hart get screwed over.
2) Owen pins Bret: Excellent storyline leading up to this match and a 5 star match to top it off. The crowd's reaction when Owen pinned Bret was priceless. They couldn't believe what had just happened and neither could I. You got to love Owen's reaction after he pinned him. He got right in Bret's face and gloated. HAHA.
1) Warrior pins Hogan: Total Markout Fest here for me. I loved the Ultimate Warrior and hated Hogan when I was younger. Seeing Hogan miss the leg drop and then Warrior hitting the splash to oin him was priceless. The ending with Hogan handing Warrior the title was a classic moment as well.
