1. Chris Benoit (WrestleMania XX). I marked out whenever I thought he had the title won but only for it to be met by controversy or a match to be re-started where he came up short each time. Was glad to see him win it at WrestleMania XX. What a great way it was to close the show with him celebrating the match that defined his career.

2. Mick Foley - I was shocked to see him come out on top in the main event of Survivor Series '98 when chances are it looked very slim for him. To see him win the championship two more times blew my hair back.

3. Rob Van Dam - This man busted his ass off for years putting on incredible matches as well as being a fan favourite so I was finally glad to see him being presented the two world titles he worked years for in back to back nights.

[LMPunker]

only 3 eh jeez this is tough

CM Punk-wrestled all over the world perfecting and honing his craft and a life long wwe fan meant more to him then great khali,goldberg,brock lesnar and batista I say that because of these guys size were always likely to win it where punk busted his ass

Eddie Guerrero-he had problems he was fired had to go back to the indie scene wasnt scared to put guys over in the indie scene(theres a story about how he was gonna have match with low ki and the booker said sorry eddie best i can offer in your debut is 60 minute time limit draw and eddie said why dont i put low ki over)came back to wwe and alright he was giventhe intercontinental title has a ok we have faith in you type deal worked his way from the bottom again had some steller matches with rvd see judgement day 2002 or their ladder match and the way the place errupted when he pinned brock was unreal

Christian-like eddie christianleft wwe(in an entirely different way)went to tna prooved he could be a solid main event player and an entertaining champion i honestly didnt see him coming back to wwe unless tna went under though he had burned his bridge by going to tna so soon after leaving tna and he went to the 3rd brand ecw and put in 1st class performances had some great matches with jack swagger,tommy dreamer and even big zeke and he had always sort of been in edges shadow and he was always just as good inthe ring and maybe abit more entertaining on the mic and ok he only got the shot cos edge retired but for 10 years plus in wwe whatever they gave him he made it work weather it was being a mute goth,reeking of awesomeness,jealous younger brother of edge,throwing temper tantrums combined with abit of a losing streak,unamericans,vitamen c with jericho,jerichos jerky best friend,the rocks favorite superstar and coining the phrase peeps whatever he did was gold and truely earned it

[the wrestling shade]

The undertaker : being the surprise of the 1991 beating hulk hogan and submitting his character as a main event worthy.
Kane: after his huge storyline with the undertaker the big red monster would have the full reputation and ability to becoming the WWF champion.
Bret Hart: introduced as the posterboy of the company at some point and one of their main guy there after hogan departure from WWF

[jr512]

1) Eddie guerrero that match with lesner was great but to think he was gonna beat Brock was very slim and the after Goldberg spear attack on brock didn't work I was thinking Brock gonna win and feud with Goldberg over the title but out of no where Eddie reversed the F5 on Brock and he hit the flog splash I was counting (screaming more like it) when the ref was counting

2) Chris benoit.. no matter what the man busted his ass to get where he was and to headline WMXX AND TO BEAT TWO Legends was awesome benoit was the best in the world and that night he finally got what he deserved

3) RVD...I was a huge fan of his since ECW and he was known as the best wrestler alive to never win a championship and that night was insane against John "super" cena EVEN The fans were crazy and nobody thought RVD could carry WWE but that night he prove everyone wrong and he finally was a WWE/ECW champion

4) Christian..the man was always in EDGE shadow but I always say him as championship kinda of guy and he busted his ass every year and never got credit for it to be honest I never thought wwe would ever give a title after ecw was over and to beat del Rio (who many said is is the next champion after edge left ) that night was great and I was finally happen for him even thou it was a short reign I'm glad he was champion but hope will get another run again

[K-Jammin]

Ahh man this is tough :/

Triple H in 1999 by beating Mankind on RAW, I marked the fuck out!
Edge by cashing in on Cena!
Mankind by beating The Rock!

[jordan1995]

eddie - he deserved it tbh he performed consistently for years in the 3 biggest companies

edge- purely because edges character was just starting to develop and cena as champ was as old then as it is now

the miz - what can i say the guys awsome :)

[printz1224]

3. CM Punk - really no explanation needed for this one. wasn't thrilled with how his title run was handled, but the win was nice.

2. The Miz - always liked the Miz, and had high hopes for him. after years of sitting in the background, he honed his craft and secured his spot in the main event.

1. Jeff Hardy - with the Rock out of the picture, Jeff was my favorite superstar. His promo work left little to be desired, but he certainly had charisma, and had a huge following. He was one of those guys that i loved to watch, but never thought he'd get that top spot because he didn't have the look, or the mic skill. Then, after years of busting his ass for the company, and HHH putting him over (huge) he got that title, and it was a great moment. say what you will about his personal problems, he USED to be a great worker.

*Honorable Mention* - RVD, Rey Mysterio, Christian, Y2J, and even John Cena, before his gimmick got stale

[steveorton]

3. Rey Mysterio
2. Christian
1.The Miz, I'm jus sayin...

[Sinliner]

1.One of the most emotional moments in WWE history. And someone correct me if im wrong but possibly the first time someones first reign as champion came in a ladder match? And thats what stands out most is christian sitting on top of the world battered and bruised.
2.This one isnt very emotional but i did mark out bigtime when Ziggler became champion for about five seconds LOL.
3.It took me a while to mark out on this one because it came at the expense of jericho but, Jack swagger cashing in the money in the bank on smackdown.

Honorable mention: shawn michaels, "The boy hood dream has come true for shaaawn michaels!" < very hard to top.
Randy orton, The whole youngest champ in history thing was awesome!.

3. Shawn Michaels - Won 1st WWE/WWF Tilte from Bret Hart @ Wrestlemania 12. 3. Ric Flair - NWA Champ from 1981–1986, off and on.

[jethro]

Chris Benoit - all his hardwork paid off at wrestlemania
Eddie Guerrero - because he defeated Brock Lesnar and this is when Lesnar was on a roll destroying almost everyone.Also paid off and to prove the naysayers that WWE is not all about big guys always get the chance.
Christian - I thought WWE would mistreated the guy because he went to TNA.

[68wPayne]

OK, this is kind of a hard one but I will say the first 3 that popped to mind.

Chris Benoit - He was my favorite wrestler and I really didn't think that they would give it to him. Especially having Triple H tap out to lose it.

The Miz - I marked the fuck out when his music hit and he ran down the ramp. I seriously got more excited about Miz coming down than I did when Eli Manning got away from those tackles at the SuperBowl, and I almost spiked my daughter to the ground like a football over that one lol.

Chris Jericho - Not only did he win the World Title, he because the Undisputed World Champion over it, and beat 2 of the all time greats in one night.

[Tommy Thunder]

Eddie Guerrero
Chris Benoit
Rey Mysterio
Christian
Miz

[VanHooliganX]

Eddie Guerrero - His match against Lesner is still one of my favs. He deserved it. Good god I miss him :(

Chris Benoit - I loved the ending to WrestleMania 20, where him and Eddie are celebrating. Another wrestler who I really miss :(

Christian - His match vs. Del Rio is 1 of the only matches in a lot of years to me where a match has mattered a lot to me that 1 person wins this. Brilliant worked match and Christian deserved it (and deserves a proper run)

Honorable mentions:
I used to be a massive RVD fan so I enjoyed it when he beat Cena to be world champion.
Edge for cashing in the MOTB, this showed how powerful MOTB really can be which gives us the chance to see who could be the future world champ to. Also Edge was a badass heel, he was a brilliant champion.
Mick Foley - He is in some of my fav matches. Brilliant champion.

1) Benoit - irrespective of what followed, still one of my all time favourite wrestlers

1. Rey Mysterio

[WWTNA Mark]

Jeff Hardy- Him winning his first World Championship against Triple H was pretty incredible and a mark out moment. He busted his ass to get to the top whether it was being a jobber on Raw or doing crazy spots no-one ever saw, he deserved it IMO.

Eddie Guerrero- The man paid his dues over the years in the wrestling business and battling an addiction he had. When he won the WWE Championship against Brock Lesnar, that was a pretty emotional moment to see a great talent like him finally win the gold. I wished he could've had more Championship reigns with the WWE Championship.

John Cena- Cena went from a very green wrestler that people thought he wasn't going to make it in the WWE, from being a white rapper that entertained the fans with his raps and when he finally won the WWE Championship against JBL, he silenced the haters and showed that he was the man that was going to lead today's generation in the WWE.

[maar13]

1. Eddie Guerrero: He did what seemed to be imposible for someone like him, he busted is ass so much than when the ref's hand hit 3 I still couldn't believe it, it was like a freaking dream.

2. The Undertaker: Going against Hogan at his second hey day was almost an impossible taks, even form someone like Taker, who was a big heel, but I have always being a fan of his since day one, when I got the tape I was really nervous and it took its time to get here, my uncle taped it for me since I was in Mexico City so when I watched it, I was screaming like it was live.

A tie in 3. CHris BEnoit: After Eddie's "I believe Chris" and see what the man had gone through, it was just a mark out momment for me, he was a favorite of mine at the tiem and the Crossface was a great finisher, what happened later is what it is, but at 2004, thi was a great thing.

3. Edge: maybe some saw it comming, me for one didn't, so when Vince introduced him it was great, I have been always an Edge's fan and a big time Lita's fan so for me this momment was out of this world, seen edge being as emotional as he was made it even better.

[NWOMyGawd]

Chris Benoit

Eddie Guerrero

Chris Jerrico for becoming the first undisputed Champion beating Rock and Stone Cold in the same night

Edge

Sheamus for beating Super Cena

Ahmad Johnson one of the few black champions in WWE/F

Rey Mysterio Vince is not to keen on small guys

Not to split hairs but I am almost 100% positive that Ahmed Johnson was never WWE or WHC champion. Best he ever did was an IC title run. And actually, now that I think about it. Isn't The Rock and Booker T the only black champions that WWE has had? I know Ron Simmons won the WHC in WCW, but that's all I can think of.

[KJ PUNK]

3. CM Punk
2. Stone Cold (suprised nobody had said him yet)
1. Eddie Guerrero

[The Hit Man]

1) Jeff Hardy
2) Edge
3) Rey Mysterio

[RagingBallsFTW]

Eddie Guerrero-the fact that I didn't see this coming and thought it was going to be Angle/Lesnar rematch at WM20 made this more of a mark out moment for me. He deserved being a world champion and it was great to see him prove people wrong by having a successful run. R.I.P Eddie.

Christian- Like Eddie, I never thought WWE would give him the chance to even win it. I know that he only had it for 2(5) days but screw it the fact that he carried the title for even a second was a mark out moment. F*** WWE for screwing this opportunity for him and the fans.

Chris Jericho- As much as I'm a fan of the Rock, seeing Jericho win the WCW title 3 years later than he should was a memorable moment in the invasion angle and showed that Y2J can be a champion. And yes I did mark out as well two months later at Vengeance 2001 and the year and a half before when he "won" the WWF/E title from Triple H for la few minutes.

[ChosenOne]

1. Edge - I marked out big time when Edge beat Cena for the WWE Title in 2006. Edge was always my favourite wrestler / superstar, and hell, I even marked out again when he beat The Undertaker for the World Title a year later, thankfully having not watched WWECW to see the match spoiled.

2. Sheamus - Although at the time I didn't think much of Sheamus, it was just the total surprise element when Cena went through the table, no way would you have thought he would lose to such a non-established guy.

3. Christian - needs no explanation. The guy worked his backside off for years and years, and other than in TNA, never got the credit he deserved.

I also marked out when Jericho won the World Championship at Unforgiven 2008, although that technically wasn't his 'first' title.

[draftclass]

Wow this is tough.
1. Triple H vs Mick Foley ( I still beleive to this day Hunter should've won at Summerslam )
2. Randy Orton vs Xhris Benoit at Summerslam
3. C.M. Punk cashing in on Edge
