Apologies if this topic or similar has been discussed before but I checked back a few months and couldn't find anything.
Anyway, what has been your favourite ever moment (or moments)? I, personally, watched wrestling during the late 90's and early 00's so my best memories were from then.
I loved the invasion storyline and one of the best bits was when almost the whole roster of WCW and ECW had taken over the ring (and all backstage) and were beating the crap out of loads of the WWF guys. The next minute, Stone Cold turns up in a car back stage and proceeds to demolish all the invasion guys back stage and then gets to the ring and gives out about 10 stone cold stunners. Pretty sure JR was going mental at the time too!
There are too many good Rock moments to mention but one that sticks out particularly clearly in my mind was, again, during the invasion period. I can't remember the exact particulars of the build up but it was something like Vince had screwed the Rock over and then fired him (or something). Vince then decided to allow Rock to come back and wrestle which resulted in Vince trying to persuade the Rock to come back to the WWF and Shane and Stephanie trying to get the Rock to join the Alliance. After listening to both party's arguments, the Rock RockBottom's Vince at which point Shane and Stephanie go crazy and so does Paul Heyman while JR sounds suicidal. The Rock then takes out Shane and then does the People's Elbow on him for good measure. The Rock then eventually announces that he will rejoin the WWF which results in the crowd going absolutely mental and JR starts screaming "YES!!" "YES!!" "YES!!"
Good times!

As far as in ring promo's for me I might go for NWO Hogan Rock back in 2002. It was the first Raw after The NWO came back at No Way Out. The whole promo is off the scale EPIC. In fact it's probably the most epic confrontation to announce a match I've ever seen.
Both Rock and Hogan come across as megastars and after Hogan takes a rock bottom, Nash and Hall come out and deliver a classic beatdown. Razors Edge and a Jackknife Powerbomb on Rock followed by a Hogan Legdrop. Then they do a hit and run on Rock's ambulance. EPIC EPIC EPIC.

I have quite a few and most of them i was very young and thought wrestling was real
I have to say the invasion story line is best story line of all time. It had everything and ended with Jericho as the first ever undisputed champion
Then was HBK's rumble win in '95...where him and British Bulldog started and ended the match. One of my favourite rumbles. I was like 7 at the time and was absolutely astonished that someone started and ended the rumble
I've been doing that every time i play a wrestling video game now
Then there was one where Yokuzuna and King Mayville broke Taker's face. The commentary made it seem so real and you didnt see Taker for months and then he comes back with the mask. That was my favourite Taker
Then theres the Jeff Hardy jump through the tables from that balcony above the entrance. That was epic.
The attitude era
Punk's pipe bomb. I actually believed everything he said.

The first time I remember properly marking out was during the Ultimate Warrior v Randy Savage loser retires match.
I was pretty young so the fact Savage was on his way out never occurred to me. I remember the Macho Man hitting FIVE top rope elbows and the tears formed in my eyes truly believing I'd seen the end of the "woryah".
1..............2..............THE WARRIOR KICKED OUT
As for the attitude era, Just too many good memories to pick one......oh ok then.....Foley going off the cell v Taker. Still makes me cry "holy sh-t" whenever I see it

Can't believe no-one has mentioned Mae Young giving birth to a hand yet
--------------------------------------------
I still wonder how a team of creatives came to the decision of running with that?! I can't think of a more bizarre moment in my time watching wrestling!!

Anfield RAP, talking about throwing things into the river, wasn't there something that happened where the Rock (i think) was fighting with Stone Cold on a bridge above a river which resulted in Stone Cold getting thrown off the bridge into the river...?
Like most are saying, the Attitude era was classic.

Mankind vs Taker Hell in Cell
JR screaming 'will someone please stop the god dam match' as you heard mick's body crash through the steel from a chokeslam was amazing
