Hulk Hogan just got completely embarrassed and booed out of the building. You can tell he was even shaken. I can’t remember anything like this in recent memory. Wow. #WWERaw

The "Lethal Dose of Poison" promo, delivered by Vince McMahon in early 2002, is considered one of the most significant heel promos in WWE history. It set the stage for the nWo’s debut at No Way Out. “If anybody’s gonna kill my creation, I’m gonna do it!” Chills.

This shot of Kane with the lightning flashing during The Undertaker’s entrance at WrestleMania XIV is one of the best you’ll see. ‘98-99 Kane was otherworldly.

The Tyson/Austin segment was orchestrated to absolute perfection. Every news and sports media outlet were reporting on this immediately after Raw went off the air. This segment turned the Monday Night Wars in WWE’s favor.

Sycho Sid’s entrance at the 1996 Survivor Series still gives me chills. Received a MASSIVE pop from the New York crowd despite being a top heel that year. He just had that look. One of the most natural, raw, and intimidating big men ever. RIP Sid.

Heading into this match, Hogan was the top villain, dating back to mid-96 in WCW. One month prior, he drove a tractor-trailer into an ambulance that was carrying The Rock. 68K fans went absolutely NUTS when he kicked out of the Rock Bottom and Hulked up. “He beat Andre the

Survivor Series 2001 had one of the most iconic video packages ever. The official theme song was “Control” by Puddle of Mudd. Team WWF vs. The Alliance was billed as the biggest match in wrestling history. Goosebumps.

Happy 3:16 day to all who celebrate. Flashback to when Stone Cold returned and hit a Stunner on almost everyone in the WCW/ECW Alliance. “HE’S WALKIN, HE’S TALKIN!” How Jim Ross didn’t suffer a heart attack here is a miracle. They don’t do moments like this anymore.

This event also featured the greatest video package WWE ever produced featuring Rock/Austin and “My Way” by Limp Bizkit. Two generational talents, arguably the top draws in pro wrestling history, both in their primes, headlining Mania together. The pinnacle of wrestling.
Wrestlemania 17 is the single greatest show WWE ever produced. This intro, narrated by “Classy” Freddie Blassie, is also the greatest intro WWE ever produced. Magic was in the air that night. Monday Night Wars ended one week prior. Austin/Rock II. Culmination of Attitude
