JJ brawled with the Tennessee Titans? I missed that. When I bounced at Michigan State I kicked some TE's tail from the Titans named Frank Wycheck. I didn't know it was him until the cops told me...

cool post.

[PureHatred]

Jeff Jarrett attacking Hogan was a total non-story. It did nothing and led to nothing.

Also...no "arm wrestling in a cage" made the list???

[swarm]

I would think the iMPACT zone catching fire should at the very least be in the top 20.

And this is only this high because of Elix Skipper. The cage-walk rana is still one of the craziest things I've ever seen in pro wrestling.

The Tennessee Titans brawl was within the first 6 weeks of the promotion existing I think. I think it might've been after a match with Scott Hall.

What was Cookiegate?

WWE ran a show in Orlando, and some of the TNA crew paid a visit. 3 Live Krew hung around their buffet table and talked to some of workers, and Traci Brooks offered them a selection of cookies from a tray she held in front of her ... cookies.

I seem to remember this occurring right around the same time as their first three-hour PPV, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong. It would not be the first time.

On a related note, I bet Traci's cookies are delicious.

You forgot the best part of that whole thing. Abyss was the one to bring them balloons.

That's a very interesting list. Not sure on some of the choices (The Fire made it? Wasn't that a bad thing?)but then again who am I to judge.

That's right! I remember now ... Abyss is awesome.

[Vidtek]

ABYSS is indeed awesome!

Sting's return being number two when they just did the Sting DVD is annoying to me.
Is "Basebrawl!" the thing with A.J. Pierzynski?

6. AMW vs. Triple X: Six Sides of Steel


I was watching the DVD of the Pay-Per-View on which this match took place. I knew nothing about what was going to happen. I was laying on my couch. When Elix Skipper hit that move from the top of the cage, I literally sat up and shouted "WOW". It was one of the most spectacular moves I have ever seen and one of my most memorable moments in Pro Wrestling.

[Highway61Revisited]

Wasn't Samoa Joe winning the X-Division title technically a bad thing? They had no idea what to do with it, so they gave us the cheap finish of someone else getting pinned BOTH times.

I can hear the production plan...

"Hey, we're making a 50 Greatest Moments DVD!"

"Let's be sure to showcase some of booking blunders! You know the things that turned a lot of fans away because our television show looked so foolish!"

"Let's be sure to put the time we gave Lyger ten minutes on there!"

"Sure thing!"

And PH was right on the Hogan thing. Though Hogan did get hurt and any time you can associate Hogan with your product, you should be sure to mention it every chance you get.
