If you get the time, and haven't done so already, please check out the video links I posted. They're only about 5 or 6 minutes long, but they're full of excitement, and action.

The Nailz/Undertaker confrontation was cool, as were Goldberg's debut and Mankind's first WWE title win, the latter two I had actually seen when they first happened.

I remember the night Mankind won the title in '99. WCW was running a live Nitro opposite Monday Night Raw that night and was flipping between the two. Tony Schiavane revealed (since Raw was taped a few nights earlier) the title change that was going to take place on Raw, insulting Foly in the process. I lost a lot of respect for Schiavone that night.

And what did Nitro offer (I saw the replay)? Another cheap finish involving Hollywood Hogan and Kevin Nash.

I'm glad I switched channels.

.

I remember that, I also lost respect for Schiavone. I use to switch between Nitro and Raw too, lol the good ole days.

My most memorable moments:

Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant Wrestlemania III

Undertaker vs Mankind in the cage where Foley got knocked from the top of the cage, my jaw dropped seeing that.

Shane O Mac vs Kurt Angle Angle threw Shane through a window that didn't break, he looked like he was seriously hurt.

Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels The screw job, Bret looked seriously pissed after the match.

Hulk Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior

Thanks so much for checking out the videos, I really appreciate it, and I'm glad you enjoyed them.

I remember vividly when Schiavone totally dissed Mankind, and I was PISSED!! I just thought of everything Mick had done in WCW, and couldn't believe that they would disrespect him in that way. I remember Schiavane saying something to the effect of, imagine having a Champion like that representing your company, that'll sure give you viewers. He may have been speaking sarcastically, but boy did his words ever bite him in the ass.

Turned out WCW's little plan to take viewership away from the WWF backfired, and when Tony mentioned Mankind winning the title, over a half million Mankind fans like myself, turned the channel over to Raw, and they ended up kicking WCW's ass in the ratings that night. Sad part for WCW was that Raw was pre-taped, while WCW was going live, coming off a big PPV, and had Bill Goldberg fighting in the main event, but those comments by Schiavone really screwed them over in the end.

I heard on WWE 24/7 once about how hurt Mick was watching Nitro that night, and hearing what Tony said. He said he was sitting there watching with his kids, and went from this great high of just winning the title, to feeling sick in his stomache.

Turns out that Mick actually called Tony, and left a message for him asking why he said those things. Shortly after, he got a call back from Schiavone, and Mick's wife answered and said it's Tony, he sounds sad. Turns out the words he said that night were given to him by Eric Bischoff, and he didn't even want to say them afterall. He still did say them though, and you can't take that away, and so I too lost alot of respect for Tony that night.

Here are a couple memorable moments for me. They are memorable because of the controversy they caused. These are moments from the last days of WCW. Both moments were total shoots that happened on a live ppv event. In the first video, Jeff Jarrett shocks the world by lying down for Hogan in their match. Jeff apparantely was suppose to win, but Hogan politicked backstage to get the win, and Vince Russo gave him his wish in an unexpected way, to a shocked WCW crowd.

The other moment happened later that night, as Russo tried to explain to the crowd what they had just seen with Hogan. The crowd sat their in shock, as Russo shot on Hogan, calling him out on his apparent bullsh*t politics. For those who witnessed the Bret Hart screw job, but never witnessed these events, I highly recommend you check them out. In my opinion they were every bit, if not more shocking than the Bret screw job.

For all you wrestling shoot fans out there, here's a rarely known shoot that took place in the early days of TNA wrestling. Rowdy Roddy Piper shocked the TNA audience by shooting on Vince Russo. Russo eventually came out to the ring, and Piper shot right to his face. The most shocking moment came when Piper said to Russo: Did you kill Owen Hart??

It even got physical, as Piper hit Russo upside the head with his book. This is probably the most intense, and real in ring shoot I ever saw, and is a must see!!

Here is a match that in my opinion is the greatest match in Wrestlemania history. It's Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker from Wrestlemania 25. This match is a work of art, and reminded me why I became a fan to begin with. If you're a fan, and haven't seen this match, do yourself a favor, and check it out!! Not only is it the greatest Wrestlemania match I've ever seen, but it's one of the greatest matches I've seen period, and I've seen thousands. This one is special!!!

Here's one of ECW's greatest moments. Raven has a mysterious opponent, and nobody knows who it is. All of a sudden the song Freebird starts, and out comes Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy to a shocked crowd. This moment gave me chills when I first saw it!!!
