I am not sure I can give you one, but I certainly can give you all a top ten most shocking moments for me as a fan...

Shane Douglas drops the NWA World Heavyweight Title
I remember seeing a tape of the event from a friend of mine. Like alot of ECW and NWA fans from back then, there wasn't an internet with all the info all around, so my friend bought this tape and heard that the end of the event would shock us. I don't know that I spoke a single word for about 2 hours after seeing it. We sat there in complete and utter shock.

Owen Hart's Death
Words aren't needed.

The dawning of the nWo/Hogan's Heel turn
The one day, the only day in the history of days, that I enjoyed Hulk Hogan. I was about to shit myself with joy to see Hogan get trash thrown at him. My lord was it wonderful. Plus the moment it happened I thought the nWo and the Horsemen would have a big fued...but I was under the impression that Flair would go over Hogan...my mistake.

July 9, 2001 - RAW (The InVasion is taken to the Extreme)
I thought my ECW was dead, and to see it alive once again, I was so shocked and excited. Just one of those moments that made me love wrestling.

Montreal
I was happy, always was a bigger Michaels fan then Hart. And at the time I was just getting into internet wrestling news and I started to learn of Hart's demands, I stand firm the same as I did back then, it doesn't matter what contract says what or anything of the sort deems is right, it is my opinion that Hart should have dropped the title as soon as McMahon asked him to. But without a doubt shocking.

March 26, 2001 - NITRO (WCW dies)
I never saw it coming. I remember hearing a few rumors about someone (probably Bischoff) was going to buy WCW, but I never thought McMahon would. To see him open up Nitro was very jaw dropping.

The moment hell froze over

Raven returns to ECW
Not only to return, but to help Tommy Dreamer win the Tag Titles. For anyone who was a ECW fan, seeing that on the first ECW on TNN show (well technically the second, but the first was just a highlight show) it felt like a whole new chapter for ECW...how I envy the feeling I had that day.

Ric Flair shows up on WWF programming
For me, Ric Flair was my idol. I glorified the man. He was the NWA in my eyes. And I am sure we qall know my feelings on NWA, so to see him on WWF shows, I guess I am greatful since I would have never watched WWF without him showing up, but I felt like my guts fell out of my ass when my friend called me to tell me to watch WWF cause Flair was on it.

Mick Foley winning the WWF World Title
For someone who had been a fan of him for most of my life, to see him FINALLY get the credit that he deserves, it was not only shocking but heart warming.

Yeah I would say those are the top ten most shocking moments for me.
