Probably Goldust returning for the first time. Was a huge goldust mark when I was younger. Mainly cause I loved his entrance theme. That's how I judged people back then. Didn't matter how shitty a guy was, if his theme was awesome, I was a mark.
Anyway, Goldust had burned his costume, and then spent the better part of a year as Dustin Runnels playing some religious zealot. He got into a feud with Val Venis which ended up bring in Marlena(my favorite diva at that point) in as Val's lover. And then Runnels lost at the PPV to Venis, just pouring more salt on the wound. All while this took place, Runnels Periodically was seen in the audience holding signs that said "He's Coming". Then this happened (sorry didn't see an embed button) http://www.wwe.com/videos/goldust-is...-1998-26024284 Marked out like fucking crazy. No one else seemed to care. |

That one time Lita and Trish Stratus were the main event of Raw. At the time, seeing a Divas match headline a show was something completely different, and made it feel like every part of the show was potentially worthy of being at the top of the card. More than any big surprise reveal or upset win, the fact that they took a risk by giving the ladies the marquee match instead of the WHC or WWE Title crowd actually gave the impression that anything can happen in WWE.
And then of course nothing came of it. Trish and Lita both went their separate ways, and WWE cranked out a long line of disposable Divas with almost no personality (except for maybe AJ), and ensured that the women's matches would always and forever be nothing more than the piss-break match. |

Undertaker and all that green shit coming out of the casket at Royal Rumble 1994 was huge for me. I thought something epic was happening when his face showed up on the tron while still in the casket. Nothing really awesome happened though and it's a moment that is long forgotten.

Crash Holly winning the LHW Title on Heat!
I didn't have cable back then and Heat was the only show on free TV so title matches, let alone changes, were a rarity.. lol Dean Malenko with his James Bond gimmick. |

Allegedly there was something to that, but in an interview BubBuh said he botched a power bomb on HHH in a match and after that it was scrapped. Apparently they couldn't trust him or something so the push was killed.

Lol. "You're not safe enough to work with our main eventers, but we'll keep you on payroll so you can work with the others."

The debut of DDP. I wasn't keen on the idea of him coming into the WWE as a heel when he was such a natural babyface, but the fact that he was coming in to work a program with the Undertaker had me excited. We all know how that ended up.
Also the debuts of Tazz and Raven, respectively. Tazz came in and beat Kurt Angle, ending his undefeated streak, and was being promoted as a bad ass. A couple months later he's jobbing at WrestleMania. Raven's arrival was exciting because he was such a natural character and there was so much potential in creating a Raven's Flock in the WWE. Instead he pretty much did nothing except toil away in the abused Hardcore division. |

I remember for, like, half a second they were teasing at making Raven kind of a mouthpiece for the Undertaker, while 'Taker was feuding with Jeff and Raven with Matt. That would have been fucking awesome.

Thought of a couple more.
First was right after McMahon revealed himself as "The Higher Power". Everyone from the Corporation and Ministry were in the ring celebrating how clever they were. Everyone except Bossman. He had been beat up really bad by the Ministry, or something like that. So they're all laughing and shit, when suddenly Bossmans' old Hard Times theme hit, and the place went nuts, and I was all "Holy Shit Bossman is gonna kick some ass, and he's a face now, and YOU BETTER READ THE SIGNS, RESPECT LAW AND ORDER, YOU'LL SERVE HARD TIME!!!!!" And then he hugged Mcmahon like a gaylord and went back to doing what he had been doing the last two years. Gay. The other one is when Eugene was in that program with Triple H. HHH finally showed his true colors and beat the holy hell out of Eugene. Then Regal comes out and cuts probably one of the greatest promos I've ever heard. He referenced their time together in WCW, and it just slowly built. Getting more intense. More emotional. Regal finally admits he cares for Eugene, and then screaming, challenges Triple H to a fight, and yells some incredible line like "AND I WILL FIGHT YOU WITH EVERY OUNCE OF VENOM IN MY BODY!" Reason I can't remember it is because that great promo led to a 2 minute squash match, and now no one remebers anything about it. I've seriously been searching years for that promo, and I've never found it. That's the moment that sold me on Regal being more than a midcarder. |

After FINALLY seeing that again after so many years, I have to say, it's not the best promo I've ever seen, it's my absolute favorite.
Alot of people might say the pipe bomb promo was better, or Heyman's ecw invasion shoot on vince was better, but I disagree. Simply because those were real. They were based on real issues, and the promo's came straight from the heart. Regal's wasn't. Regal's was a complete act, based on a fictional retarded guy, and yet he sold it so believably and with such passion, that one might actually think that Eugene was Regal's actual son. That is an incredible feat. |

I'll never forget this. The Acolytes were my favourite tag team of all time and they fought The Hradyz and Michael Hayes in a handicap match for the tag team titles. The Hardyz set up to do Poetry in Motion and Bradshaw caught Jeff Hardy mid-air with a brutal Clothesline From Hell and I fucking went nuts. It was incredible.

I don't think I've ever seen a bad or "weak" Clothesline From Hell. Miss JBL.
