Just thought about this today, looking through clips online, and thought it could be an interesting topic. Any moments or matches from the past that you guys thing deserve a bit more love.
The first one I'll add is the one that made me think of this, the WrestleMania 17 Gimmick Battle Royal. Now I don't pick this because of the match itself, but because I believe his work on commentary in this match, was the last thing Bobby Heenan did before his cancer and it's treatment started to affect his voice. He had many moments after this where he was in "The Brain" mode like his Hall of Fame speech, but this was I believe the last time it was 100% Heenan with his voice and wit. Plus I loved as he was making his way to the ring, Paul Heyman referred to him as the Johnny Carson of the wrestling world.

A few from some different episodes of RAW. Like when the McMahons were looking for Stone Cold before Backlash 2000. So funny. Or when The Rock destroyed Chris Benoit on the go home show for Fully Loaded 2000.

Pillman’s got a gun. Always felt like this was just as important as the 3:16 speech to Austin’s character (as well as the whole attitude era).

Ok hear me out. It involves Bobby Lashley and WWECW but hear me out. Bobby Lashley jumping through the steel cage onto Umaga was badass.

It was one of the better cage break moments the company has done. There have been mean where it was a weak action that caused the cage to break, but this one, Lashley launched himself full force into the side of the cage, and Umaga was in the perfect spot where he was safe, but it looked like he got killed. |

When a 280lb man runs 15 feet and launches himself into chain link, that chain link comin down I don't give a f*ck what it's connected to lmao. Lashley gave that cage his all. Umaga was lowkey in a deadly spot. |

When Randy Savage and Scary Sherri attacked Beefcake on the Brother Love Show and cut his hair. When people talk about Beefcake and interview segments, it's always his Barber Shop ordeal with the Rockers. But seeing Beefcake get laid out and getting his hair cut in 1989 was pretty shocking and bad ass by Sherri and Savage!

Everyone remembers Jericho winning the WWF title briefly after Earl Hebner fast counted Triple H's shoulders to the mat. But no-one talks about RVD doing the same to Undertaker on Raw in 2002.
Also an epic moment.

The Bobby Heenan Show. It was poorly received but man Bobby was killing it with his classic wit.

Virgil turning on DiBiase at the 1991 Royal Rumble. I know a lot of people might not agree, especially with the way Virgil is looked at now, but, when he turned on DiBiase he got a huge ovation - the crowd went nuts. Then he went on to have a pretty good 1991.

Then he went on to have a pretty good 1991. I'd agree, the whole finally turning on DiBiase culminating with him winning the Million Dollar belt at Summer Slam that year was really well done. Just look at the reaction he got when he beat DiBiase too, they really got the fans behind him. Basically from the Rumble to Summer Slam in 91 was the height of Virgil's career. |

Brock vs Big Show on Smackdown in 2003 where the ring imploded. It was the first time I remember it happening and it was a shocking/awesome moment for 12 year old me. It’s been done a bunch of times since then with far less impact which has kinda made the Brock/Show moment almost forgotten.

HHH and stone cold brutalizing lita and the hardys on raw in 2001 with chair shots. 12 year old me was shocked by the man on woman violence.
Watching lesnar destroy the likes of London, Kendrick and Zach gowen are fond memories from the golden age of smackdown.
