1)Shawn "collapsing" in his match against Owen Hart I saw live
2)Listening to Bash at the Beach 96 watching it all scrambled as Hogan drops the legdrop on Macho Man and turns heel
3)Nash throwing mysterio at the trailer like a dart
4)Goldberg beating Hogan for the title(didn't watch it, listened to it as dad was watching it since I was suppose to be in bed)
5)Tuning in and seeing Vince announced he bought WCW (i had been tuned out)

Hogan vs. Warrior
Match Made in Heaven
Montreal Screwjob
Rockers breaking up
Outsiders invading
Formation of the NWO
Crow Sting
Vince buying WCW
the first Raw
the first Nitro
the last Nitro
ECW on mainstream cable
I mean honestly, pretty much all of it.

Hogan's first run in the WWF. He was a heel, had chest hair & was managed by Freddie Blassie.
Killer Khan "breaking" Andre the Giant's leg.
Wrestlers not having entrance music, pyro or a Titan Tron.
When Superstar Billy Graham destroyed Bob Backlund's WWF title on TV. Backlund would then debut the big green title.
The Piper/Snuka coconut incident.
The headline of our local newspaper reporting that Snuka's "travelling companion" died.
There are more, but I have to go to sleep.

The headline of our local newspaper reporting that Snuka's "travelling companion" died. There are more, but I have to go to sleep. I saw all those as well. And loved when Graham tore the belt apart with his hands as Backlund sat in the corner crying “why?!” lol Add to your list... The Executioners vs Strongbow & Billy White Wolf(?) best of 3 for the tag team championships. Sting vs Flair Iron-Man match. Sting vs Flair GAB ‘90. Curt Hennig first WWF stint when he was a jobber before going to the AWA and becoming champion. The first WrestleMania. Snuka being taken out by Ray Stevens for Albano’s bounty on Snuka. Snuka being taken out by Col. Debeers. David Schultz slapping John Stossel. Jericho’s “List of 1004 Moves” on Nitro. From the OP list I saw all except HBK dropping in the Owen match while it happened. Pretty much everything from the mid 70’s wwf until now. |

I think it was in the Boston Garden. Valentine lost the Intercontinental title to Tito Santana. He grabbed the belt & smashed it against the inside of the cage out of frustration. A short time later, Tito was given the new version of the title which we all like. |

WM 12 - Shawn's entrance. I thought it was incredible at the time but when you grow up and learn a little of the history between Bret and Shawn, it seems a little lame.

It was when he lost it to Tito Santana in Baltimore in the cage match. After Tito won the title back, Hammer took the IC title and smashed it all over the cage into pieces. It's on YouTube. Wasn't sure if I can post it. It was just to get rid of that belt for the new title belt that we all love. Funny story about the damaged IC title. Tito knew there was a new belt so he just threw the old one in the garbage. So in some landfill, under tons of trash, is the old IC title belt. lol |

One I haven't seen mentioned yet that really sticks with me even 35 years later is "The Clothesline Heard 'Round the World": Paul Orndorff turning on Hulk Hogan.
Along those same lines was Barry Windham turning on Lex Luger to join the Four Horsemen.

We all thought it was going to be another guy that was recently in the WWF - which actually worked out well since out don't think any of my friends or classmates even thought about Hogan. Bret and Sid were the two I thought it was going to be. Warrior would have been cool too. |

I also remember when Paul Orndorff turned on Hulk Hogan on Superstars during the match with Bundy and Studd. It was also the day I saw the first night Cubs game at Wrigley Field, which was suppose to be the second night game but the first one was rained out. lol
