My top 10 live wrestling moments

Dr. Giganto

I've been to quite a few live shows, so I thought it would be fun to come up with the best moments I've seen live. Here we go:



10. RVD and Tommy Dreamer retire the Hardcore title: It was so appropriate that it was these two ECW legends that wrestled the last hardcore WWE match. It was a great ECW-style match, and Tommy Dreamer got emotional at the end

9. Brock Lesnar F5's the Big Show: Seriously, this was just amazing to see. It's mind-boggling to think how strong Brock is

8. HBK wins the first Elimination Chamber: I went to this PPV with my brother, who was 10 years old at the time, and when the match was over, we jumped in each other's arms and went crazy together. It was great

7. Brock and Goldberg get booed out of Wrestlemania: The atmosphere for this match was just amazing. One guy was deserting the company that made him a star and needed him more than ever, and the other was a greedy money-grubber with no love for wrestling. And the referee was a man who broke his neck in the ring, and wrestled at Mania one year earlier despite feeling serious effects from his neck, because he loved wrestling with every bone in his body. Basically, the anti-Goldberg

6. Tommy Dreamer ends the ECW PPV on an emotional note: This didnt make the PPV, but after the show went off the air, the ring slowly cleared and when all was said and done, a bloody, burned, beaten Tommy Dreamer was the last one left. He stood in the middle of the ring crying as the crowd chanted "Thank you Tommy". Beulah came to the ring and her and Tommy embraced, and Tommy got down, kissed the ECW logo in the ring and left. Perfect way to end ECW. I wish it had been included on the DVD at least

5. Return of the Deadman: Taker's entrance at WMXX was absolutely amazing. He looked so bad-ass with the trenchcoat and black hat. The ensuing squash was a little disappointing, but the big thing was Taker's return, not the match itself

4. Kurt Angle suplexes Shane McMahon through a pane of glass: This, of course, came after dropping him on his head on the first attempt. This was probably the best match period I've seen in person

3. Sandman's entrance at the ECW PPV: This was simply incredible. Every single person in the arena was singing along and going nuts. On a great night, this was the highlight of the show for me. Too bad they changed the music for the DVD...

2. Chris Benoit makes HHH tap in the WM XX Main Event: It was the match of the night and the outcome nobody expected. WWE finally rewarded Benoit for his years of hard work, and the hug between him and Eddie at the end of the show was poetic.

1. HHH's return from the quad injury: Seriously, I've never heard a louder wrestling crowd. The energy in MSG that night was simply amazing.

Unfortunatly I can't boast of a list like Mister D as I've only been to one event, but for me I'll never forget watching The Undertaker v Kurt Angle at a house show. For years I'd been watching these two on the TV week in and week out, and there finally I was watching a match between these two legends with my own eyes. It was the first time that Smackdown had come to my area, and the whole crowd was up on their feet for the enterance's of these two. It was also a very good match with Taker winning via Last Ride.

Dr. Giganto

I've lived in NYC my whole life...oh wait, I TOTALLY forgot something. Gotta add to the list...

Dr. Giganto

I added Taker's entrance at WMXX and bumped Paul E.

The Phantom

Guess I must have reminded you about Takers enterance then? lol

That's a cool list, I just wish I could have been to just 1 or 2 of those events.

I don't know if I have 10 moments that I've seen live, but I loved the Hogan-Slaughter match at SNME one year, Rock vs. Goldberg at Backlash in Worcester was fun, HBK and Jericho going at it on RAW, HBK vs. Shelton in the Gold Rush Tourney..great match!, And I can't foget the Undertaker vs. Mr. Hughes Casket Match..that was cool back in the day.
