Hogan joining the NWO. HBK throwing Marty Janety through the window of the barber shop. The Undertaker beating Hulkster the first time at Survivor Series.

Most definitely!!! Seeing Shane on Monday Night Nitro was a very special moment for any fan that stuck with the Federation and didn't jump ship to WCW. That was totally awesome! I was screaming at the TV that night!

What do you think of that? I've always believed that Bret was in the wrong. If a promoter tells you to drop the belt, you do it. I don't think he would have taken the belt to Nitro, but IMO he is the biggest mark for himself i've ever seen.

I agree. If your are told to drop the belt you do it. When leaning wrestling or a wrestling territory or promotion you always lose your last match period. Thats the way it goes thats tradition and respect . Look at Flair for example. Bret Hart was wrong. I don't think he would have went on Nitro with the belt like Alundra Blaze ( I doubt I spelled that Right) But even so he should have done what was asked of him. The wrestler who is the most full of himself IMO is Shawn Micheals or Dusty Rhodes.

you guys like more recent stuff ,i have older school memories,remember backlund against masked superstar ,backlund sustains 2 swinging neck breakers,gets out of match without losing belt,then iron shiek defeats still injured backlund 1 month later with camel clutch and skaaland throws in towel,1 month later hulkamania erupts to packed msg house ,great move of course for mainstream,but backlund ended that seventies and early eighties era of wrestling as still entertaining but still technical without absurd story lines to follow.backlund had great matches over that 5 yr span against,graham ,valentine,lariat hansen,muraco,snuka cage match was classic,

the 90's brought the stories outside like wrestlers getting run off road,limos crushed,belts tossed in rivers.i understand fans like the shock.its still fun to reminisce as kid seeing iron shiek curled boot off tapping it to hit slaughter with it during boot camp match,suspended your imagination for a moment thinking ,they really hate each other.

Michaels is the it! He's P4P one of the greatest wrestlers ever. Since the beginning you could tell he was a jerk off. His whole boy toy gimmick. The sing it yourself entrance music. The guy has done it all. I think part of it is him being full of himself. People either love him or hate him. But there's no wrestling fan that will change the channel when he comes on. I'd bet anything if there's anyone thats gonna beat the Undertaker at Wrestlemania? It's gonna be Shawn. They have one more spectaculer fued left that will happen. Hell in the cell II.

Greatest story line ever was Andre being undefeated for ten years/Hogan for three years. Andre challenging Hogan for the belt at Wrestlemania three. When Piper asked Hulkster if he accepts Andres challenge? "Hell Yeah!" Nothing will ever compare to that. Then after that when DiBiase got involved. It was totally awesome. Hulkster was huge and body slamming every big man in the game. Everyone was against him.
