Guest Anglesault Report post Posted January 11, 2004 44. Motorhead/Triple H entrance I realize HHH really doesn't have a great Mania moment, but there has to be something better than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does...Lemmy and co. lived out their boyhood dreams of performing to their largest American crowd ever, thanks to their friend Triple H booking them at WM!

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 Some of those are very wierd choices. Saliva at WMX8 is NOT a WM moment. Not even for Bubba's attempts at headbanging. Personally being too young for the WM3 moment, it has to be #17 for me. Although #40 is up there for Hardy's Ladder dive, which for it's time was a WWE classic moment.

Guest PowerPB13 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 44. Motorhead/Triple H entrance I realize HHH really doesn't have a great Mania moment, but there has to be something better than that. Triple H doesn't have any great moments that weren't manufactured for him by someone else. -Patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 16. Steve Allen & the Bolsheviks 22. WrestleMania goes Roman 27. Pam Anderson and Jenny McCarty at ringside for Diesel- Shawn Michael 46.

Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 What about when HHH beat 3 men at WM 2000 and retained his title. Heels rarely exit WM with the WWF belt. My #1 HHH WM moment: The Ultimate Warrior vs. HHH at WM XII There was so much intensity in that match. On another point, (gets ready for flames) WM 13 was my favorite Wrestlemania because it was the first PPV I ever ordered. So I would add the following moments: 1. Undertaker tombstoning Sid and winning the title. 2. Bret Hart tirade before the main event that got him powerbombed by Sid. 3. LOD/Ahmed vs NOD Chicago Street Fight. I know on the grand spectrum of WM's these are insignificant but WM 13 needs a few more highlights. The number one WM moment should be Hogan slamming Andre.

Guest Krazy Karter Report post Posted January 11, 2004 (edited) My aunt watched Wrestlemania VII with me about 2 years ago. She had never watched wrestling before, and she started crying when Elizabeth ran out from the crowd to help Randy. That's why #17 gets my vote.

Ced 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 The old school in me says 7. The new school in me says 32. I lean a little towards Hogan and Andre myself. Anything else getting number one is insulting and will be met with angry Internet words from me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 7. was the biggest moment of an era at it's peak 32. was the moment that turned the company around and led it towards it's peak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She had never watched wrestling before, and she started crying when Elizabeth ran out from the crowd to help Randy. That's why #17 gets my vote. 17 is SUCH a close second place for me, and just for that reason. But 7 was just so big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 Man, I wish Hart/ Piper from WM VIII was there, simply because it's still my favourite match ever, but you can't disagree with 7, just because it is THE defining wrestling moment. The match is dreadful, but I still watch it often just for that moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 So many great moments, but 7 takes the cake. It's even prehaps the greatest moment in Professional Wrestling history. I mean, who hasn't seen that clip (even NON-wrestling fans). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 7 & 32 have already been explained. But 15 is the definitive big money match, and seeing Hogan go down clean was a such a big moment at the time. You can also point to that match as the end of the Golden Age of the WWF. 17 & 33 round out the top five. They were just such big markout moments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tino Standard 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 7 and 45. Hey, I'm not much of a Hogan fan, but there was something epic about both of those matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JebusNassedar Report post Posted January 11, 2004 I personally voted for Steamboat/Savage. Because I am the one person who's never seen Andre get scoop slammed. Well, other than by Stan Hansen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMA Report post Posted January 12, 2004 7 & 32 have already been explained. But 15 is the definitive big money match, and seeing Hogan go down clean was a such a big moment at the time. You can also point to that match as the end of the Golden Age of the WWF. Personally, I'd say the end of the Golden Age was over sometime after the first Survivor Series. Anyway, I'd pick 7, 8, and 32. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2004 Easily...Austin/Rock from WM17, Hart/Hart from WM10, and Austin/Hart from WM13. Hogan/Andre? What the fuck? Well you have this big giant Andre who hasn't been slammed prior to this(not counting house shows) taking on a guy who is pretty much a mega star in wrestling at the time and this mega star manages to slam this 500+ pound monster thus vaulting said mega star into legendary status. That's my reasoning for choosing it at least but oh wait, it wasn't a workrate classic so shame shame right Ray? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
