Line 66:
* June 19 2010: ROH's Internet PPV ''Death Before Dishonor VIII'' featured several awesome moments and matches, including:
** El Generico getting a jab in at WWE for their treatment of [[Bryan Danielson]] by taking a tie off of a ring announcer and choking Kevin Steen with it while beating him down during the show's intermission.
{{quote| '''Dave Prazak:''' HE SHOULD BE FIRED!}}
** Christopher Daniels vs. Kenny Omega, which stole the show - until...
** Tyler Black defending the ROH World Title against Davey Richards, the show's main event and easily the best match on a show with a lot of good matches. It's also easily a Match of the Year contender, for both ROH and the entire industry.

* Kevin and Mike Von Erich's "mystery partner" at Texas Stadium is revealed:
{{quote| '''Michael Hayes:''' Me and my brothers have done some thinkin', and we've eliminated it down to three people who it could be: Bruiser Brody, who Kamala ran outta here, and everybody knows we beat Kamala up -- Brian Adias, family flunkie -- or that nephew of yours, Lance Von Erich. Now, right now, face to face, you tell me which one of them it's gonna be.<br />
'''Fritz von Erich:''' Mr. Hayes, you're wrong on all three counts.<br />
'''Hayes:''' Wha...it's not one of them?<br />
'''Fritz:''' It is not one of them.<br />
'''Hayes:''' Well, who is it? I wanna know who it is! I demand to know right now!<br />
'''Fritz:''' Oh, you demand to know right now?<br />
'''Hayes:''' Yeah, right now! Right now, I wanna know!<br />
'''Fritz:''' It's gonna be...the next man to bust you between the eyes! [He does so.] Now, just in case there's any further doubt in your mind, I'll see you May the sixth...on Badstreet! }}
 
Line 139:
* Dragon Gate USA's very first PPV, 2009's "Enter The Dragon", is basically a Crowning Moment in and of itself; considering the card was mainly filled with workers from Japan's Dragon Gate promotion that even a fair amount of smart marks wouldn't be familiar with, the PPV was widely hailed as one of the best wrestling shows of the year by many wrestling writers. When the smark-friendly Wrestling Observer Newsletter says that the entire show is not only worth the purchase price, but an entire repeat viewing, you know you've got gold on your hands.
* Pretty sure [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_C4S1XOnTY&feature=related this] is from CHIKARA, but as I'm not 100% sure of it, I'm putting here for now.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKlz261mL00 This promo] by Jon Moxley from August 2010, wherein he challenges [[Bryan Danielson]] to a match at a Dragon Gate USA show the following month.

* In 1995, [[Mick Foley]] (in his Cactus Jack persona) went to Japan with Terry Funk to compete in [[Garbage Wrestler|IWA's]] "King of the Death Match" tournament. Foley's first match was a barbed wire bat and box of thumbtacks match, the second round was a barbed wire board and box of nails match, and the final match featured barbed wire ropes (with extra spools of wire left lying around) and C-4 rigged boards that the wrestlers could be dropped on. Foley would take two C-4 blasts and would still end up defeating the legendary Terry Funk, who is even more famous in Japan, to win the tournament.
 
Line 171:
* [[John Bradshaw Layfield]] deserves both this and a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] for coming up with ''Tribute To The Troops''. The idea was rejected at first, but JBL lobbied about Vince's office and Vince eventually accepted it.
* On an edition of a ''Raw'' talk show, Maria Kanellis got a huge CMOA when one fellow panelist rather ignorantly said that none of the WWE Divas actually wanted to be there and they were just "there to get on TV", which was a popular opinion amongst many fans. Maria's response?
{{quote| '''Maria:''' "That is so horrible...You want to know my honest opinion on it? I mean, do you have any idea how much we would love to stay, we would love to be there, how we would love to do everything we dream about? The only reason a lot of us have left is because we didn't get the opportunities there we wanted or thought we'd earned, or the opportunities we fought for, that's the only reason! All that "you're just a diva"; it sounds so trashy. If you are on the road 250...350...days a year there is no way (it's just for fame)…you obviously want to be there. Sure you get on television, but every weekend (on house shows), you're getting your ass kicked, you're all covered in bruises, I look at Candice Michelle, she was a Go Daddy girl she got there. But she worked hard. I used to look at her legs; from the top to the bottom they were covered in huge bruises from all the different places Beth had grabbed her to put her in position...She worked her tail off to become champion! For you to say that, you have no clue how passionate these women are! I would still be there if I got the opportunities I wanted. We're not actresses on television playing an action star who doesn't really get hit; we were getting hit. I'm no longer there because I spoke up and because I got spoke up that's why I'm sitting here."}}
