Perhaps they should have had a protagonist for Austin right away, but it didn't really matter. The Rattlesnake's venomous turn caused the Attitude era to begin its death.

Chris Benoit winning the World Heavyweight Championship from Triple H (by submission, no less), was the last truly great moment in televised professional wrestling. When he and the WWE Champion, Eddie Guerrero, were celebrating in the ring, the book on wrestling could have been closed. The underdogs had overcome the politics, their apparent limitations, and became World Champions. It was proof for just a shining second that all could be right in the wrestling world.

I dont even think those are close. From the list above, remove a moment and the Wrestling world would change. Remove these moments and you would just have one less a memory of Beniot/Eddie. it did nothing for the Business, and changed nothing.



I would add Black Sunday....the WWE beginning its National reign.

I would add The Formation of the 4 Horseman, as they started the entire idea of a stable. Without them, there owuld have been no NWO or DX.


BTW, 1000 Posts!
