* '''September 23, 1999''': [[Vince McMahon]] forces [[Triple H]] into a five-match gauntlet challenge against the five other wrestlers in the Six-Pack Challenge at that year's ''Unforgiven'' pay-per-view. He is forced to fight The Rock in a bullrope match, [[The Undertaker]] in a Casket match, Mankind in a Boiler Room Brawl, [[Kane (Wrestling)|Kane]] in an Inferno Match, and [[The Big Show]] in a Chokeslam Challenge. Yep, Vince ''really'' hated [[Triple H]] around this time.

** Made even more awesome considering Hunter faced SIX men in those five matches; during the show, [[Vince McMahon]] and [[The Undertaker]] got into an arguement, prompting Taker to quit the WWE. Vince subbed him out of the casket match and subbed in Mideon (280lb jobber to the stars no one remembers or cares about) and Viscera (487lb manbeast who broke Taker's orbital bone back in the 90s). Three guesses who won the casket match. (Hint: It wasn't the big-nosed guy.)

* '''October 31 2002:''' The WWE wrestlers hold a Halloween costume party backstage, which ends up including [[Eddie Guerrero]] dressed as Zorro, a hilarious backstage chase between [[Chris Benoit]] and [[Kurt Angle]], Tajiri with an afro being hit on by Mae Young, a fight between Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie in a kiddie pool filled with liquid chocolate, and the somewhat [[Squick|squicky]] kiss between Eric Bischoff and [[Stephanie McMahon]]. In all, it was one of the more surreal, memorable and hilarious episodes.

** This party is actually a very important moment in WWE history. Back in 2002, [[John Cena]] was not the face of WWE; he was an undercard babyface with little-to-no personality whose most memorable moment was debuting against [[Kurt Angle]] (and very nearly beating Angle in the process). Cena decides to attend the Halloween party dressed as [[Vanilla Ice (Music)|Vanilla Ice]]. One freestyle rap later, Cena began a gimmick change that would alter the course of his career forever.

* '''June 12 2003:''' [[Brock Lesnar]] faced off against [[The Big Show]] in a WWE Championship match. In one of ''SmackDown'''s most famous moments, Lesnar manages to get Show up on the top rope, then Superplexes him back down to the canvas, where the ring does the only thing it can do in this situation: ''it implodes''. This moment can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz7sh5E5fFE here].

** While the collapse was actually a work, the reactions by the commentary team (including Tazz's censored "Holy shit!") and the visual itself still make this a CMOA.

* '''November 20, 2003:''' [[Kane (Wrestling)|Kane]] is invited onto ''SmackDown'' to give [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMrDZyqHgQg a eulogy] to [[The Undertaker]], who he buried alive at the Survivor Series the previous Sunday. He explains that Undertaker was no longer the monster he used to be before starting his "[[Fan Nickname|BikerTaker]]" gimmick -- he'd betrayed his very nature and become "[[Muggles|one of you]]", which was why he needed to be buried. He ends the eulogy with an epic [[Evil Laugh]]. It was probably Kane's first great promo. Of course, months later at ''WrestleMania 20'', Undertaker returned to his dark roots and avenged the burial.

* '''October 7 2004:'''' This night would feature a homecoming for then US Champion [[John Cena]], who was quickly maturing into a main event superstar and was well on his way to the main event. As he was talking to the Boston crowd, he was interrupted by a debuting Carlito Carribean Cool, who challenged him for the United States Championship that night. Not only would Carlito win the title on his debut, but [[Hoist By His Own Petard|he used Cena's own chain to knock the champ out]], and would leave with both the belt and the chain as a symbol of his victory. Considering that Cena would catch [[Boring Invincible Hero]] syndrome just months after this match, it may now be surprising to see that ''Carlito'' of all people got such a victory over Cena in Cena's own hometown.

** Most fans agree that the follow-up angle should be ignored. See, Cena needed a reason to disappear from television for a couple of months to film ''[[The Marine]]'', so they ran an angle where Carlito had his bodyguard stab Cena (as in, with an actual knife) in an after-hours club the night of the title change. Apparently, Cena's Superman complex was advanced enough by this point that his skin no sold it, as there was no scar or any evidence of a knife wound when he returned.

*** [[Eddie Guerrero]] even lampshaded it at one point, though briefly. "I don't see no scar man, must have healed pretty quickly."

** All four women were solid on the mic and I can't remember the last time a Divas segment took up that much time on TV. The usually generic [[Lay Cool]] were getting great heel heat, and Mickie and Maria both got great reactions from the crowd.

* '''June 4 2010''' and '''July 23 2010''' will go down as the days [[Kane (Wrestling)|Kane]] delivered arguably the best promos of his career. The first date marks the day [[The Undertaker]] was announced as [[Kayfabe|having been found in a vegetative state by his half-brother Kane]], directly after which Kane promised that "There will be '''''VENGEANCE!'''''" The second date marks his first appearance on ''SmackDown'' as the World Heavyweight Champion, still vowing to take revenge for his half-brother while gloating over his world title victory. Both were accompanied by haunting organ music, the ring was appropriately bathed in red lighting, and Kane's delivery was so perfect that people declared these two promos his best ever - and Kane's not even really known for his promos to begin with!

** Kane's promo for '''August 20 2010''' was his best one, where he [[Magnificent Bastard|finally reveals]] that ''he'' was the one who attacked Undertaker, waiting ''over 13 years'' for Undertaker to suffer [[Badass Decay]] and be vulnerable.

** This year in general has been one big CMoA for the Big Red Machine, having won the World Heavyweight Championship after well over a decade. To explain why this is such a big deal, one has to examine Kane's career and the sheer amount of [[Badass Decay]] he's gone through over the years. For the longest time, Kane has always been a fan favorite who, since the [[Attitude Era]], has been one of the most memorable characters in the business. In the beginning, he started his career as a masked monster, decimating anyone who stood in his way. In the late 90s, he only managed to win the world title once and it was an extremely short reign (24 hours, give or take). From the turn of the millennium onwards, Kane has gone through nothing short of horrible storylines (Katie Vick), [[Lita]]'s pregnancy) and badass decay (the unmasking, jobbing to various wrestlers of lesser talent). All of that finally changed this year; [[He's Back|Kane started becoming a dominating force again]], winning the world title and showing [[The Undertaker]] why he is still a force to be reckoned with. Many see this run as a reward for all of Kane's hard work for the company, including putting up with some of the dumbest angles ever without complaint; if that's the case, it's '''well-deserved.'''

* '''August 20 2010:''' [[Alberto Del Rio]], better known to ''lucha libre'' fans as masked ''luchador'' Dos Caras Jr., makes his debut on ''SmackDown'' by main eventing the show in a match with [[Rey Mysterio Jr]] - and making Mysterio, one of the most popular Superstars on the WWE roster and a two-time World Champion, ''tap out to a rolling cross armbar''. Oh, and he got a perfect heel entrance, complete with personal ring announcer and a Rolls Royce. Now '''that''' is how you make a guy a star.

Later in the night, Vickie would insert Dolph into a Triple Threat match for the #1 Contender spot for the World Heavyweight title against Drew McIntyre, [[Cody Rhodes]], and [[The Big Show]]. [[Dolph Ziggler]] would outmaneuver the other three competitors to get a title match at the ''Royal Rumble'', despite competing with Kofi Kingston earlier in the night.

* '''February 4, 2011:''' Thanks to the machinations of Vickie Guerrero, [[Edge]] and [[Kelly Kelly]] were forced to defend Edge's World Heavyweight Championship in a mixed-tag team match against [[Dolph Ziggler]], Michelle McCool, and Layla. If Edge used the Spear, he would have instantly lost the title to [[Dolph Ziggler]]; if either Edge or [[Kelly Kelly]] had been pinned or made to submit, the title would have been Dolph's. Despite ''everyone'' thinking Kelly was going to be a liability to the "Rated R Superstar", Kelly actually won the match by pinning Layla after nailing her with a Spear. The unlikely end result of this? ''[[Kelly Kelly]] can actually say that she successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship.'' (She also got [[Kayfabe|fired]] by Vickie Guerrero for winning the match.)

* '''February 25, 2011''': After [[Rey Mysterio Jr|Rey Mysterio]] beats [[Kane (Wrestling)|Kane]], "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes comes out and pleads to his son, [[Cody Rhodes]], to stop his silly grudge with Rey Mysterio since Rey is an old family friend. Cody complies and apologizes to Rey. With that done, Rey shakes Dusty's hand in thanks and turns to leave -- but Dusty won't let go of Rey's hand. As Rey looks in confusion at Dusty's grin, Cody attacks Mysterio from behind. The younger Rhodes throws Mysterio out of the ring, slams him on the entrance ramp, rubs his face on the grated steel, then smashes him head-first into the entrance screens. While Rey lies on the ground in near unconsciousness, Cody rips Rey's mask off raises it high above his head in triumph, causing referees to come out with a towel to conceal Rey's face from the audience. The Cody/Rey feud kicked into high gear after this.

** Let's not forget this show's main event. Vickie Guerrero was forced to team with Drew McIntyre; if she lost, she'd lose her job as ''SmackDown's'' Official Consutlant. Vickie and Drew's opponents were Edge and a rehired [[Kelly Kelly]], flashing back to the match from February discussed above. In a very good sense of karma, Vickie was speared by Kelly while Edge speared Drew, ending the match and sending Vickie on her way to ''Raw''. [[Kelly Kelly]] also gets a bonus Moment for the outfit she was wearing that night: it was the same outfit she wore in that very same match where Vickie ended up firing her. Karma has been sent.
